# CfJeechcraft TEJaOON 'ivtATION Textron Aviation requests an exemption from the requirements

of section 14 CFR 91.9 due to the business requirement

to conduct demonstration and acceptance flights with foreign pilots in the United States. This exemption would allow Textron Aviation to operate aircraft requiring two crewmembers under limited circumstances within the United States with one fully qualified and U.S. licensed pilot and one pilot without

a U.S. certificate. Textron Aviation requests exemption from the following regulation: 14 CFR 91.9(a) ·Except as provided

in paragraph
(d) of this section, no person may operate

a civil aircraft without complying with the operating limitations specified

in the approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, markings, and placards, or as otherwise prescribed
by the certificating authority
of the country of registry. The Citation product line (C510, CE525, CE560XL, CE680, CE750) Aircraft Flight Manuals require two crewmembers

or specify conditions requiring two crewmembers. Pilots holding an appropriate FAA certificate may act as a crewmember when required or per 14 CFR 61.55(g), however, otherwise qualified individuals lacking an FAA certificate may not.

or acceptance flights in the aircraft. This negatively affects the sales capabilities
of Textron Aviation and potentially affects the An equivalent level of safety can be achieved due to the operating environment fostered by Textron Aviation. Textron Aviation flight operations
