Docket No.: FAA–2012–1349. Petitioner: Delta Air Lines, Inc. Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 91.9(a).

Description of Relief Sought: During installation via Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) of the on-board Wif’i system on Delta Air Lines’ 737–800 fleet, a placard was placed on the flight deck prohibiting use of WiFi devices from the flight deck. As part of a turbulence incident mitigation research program, Delta Air Lines seeks relief to allow 40 Delta B737 Senior Line Check Airmen (LCA) to access a web-based enroute turbulence tool using the existing aircraft WiFi connection during the operational demonstration period of the research effort anticipated to last approximately 1 year, and only during non-critical phases of flight. Delta provides analysis demonstrating an equivalent level of safety through use of very low-power equipment and operational controls.
