Flexjet, LLC, Air Carrier Operating Certificate #J7SA150H, represented by Mr

. John C. Sell, Director of Operations, 26180 Curtiss-Wright Parkway, Cleveland, OH 44143 petitions for exemption from 14 CFR Part 91 §91.203(a), §91.203(b), and Part 47 §47.49. This petition requests relief to permit temporary operation of the Company's U

.S

. registered aircraft in domesticoperationswithoutthe registration orairworthiness certificates on board. 14 CFR Part 91 §91.203(a) states, in pertinent part, that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it: (1) An appropriate and current airworthinesscertificate

. (2) An effective U.S. registration certificate issued to its owner or, for operation within the United States, the second copy ofthe Aircraft registration Application as provided for in §47.31(c), ora registration certification issued underthe laws ofaforeign country. 14 CFR 91.203(b) states that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) ofthis section oraspecial flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed atthe cabin orcockpit entrance so that it is legibleto passengers orcrew. 14 CFR Part 47 5 §47.49 states that ifthe original Certificate ofAircraft Registration, AC Form 8050-3, is lost, stolen, or mutilated, the registered owner may submit to the Registry a written request that states the reason a replacement certificate is needed and the fee required by §47.17. The Registry will send a replacement certificate to the registered owner's mailing address orto another mailingaddress ifrequested in writing bythe registered owner. Flexjet, LLC makes every effort to secure all documentation required to be kept onboard each aircraft. However, a risk exists fora registration and/orairworthiness certificate to become lost, stolen ordamaged and unusable. Due to the limited hours of operations of both the FAA Aircraft Registration Branch and local Flight Standards District offices, the inabilityto resolve a lost, stolen, ordamaged registration or airworthiness document outside of normal business hours would create unnecessary delays and disruption ofrevenue generatingservice. Accordingly, Flexjet, LLC petitions for exemption from 14 CFR Part 91 §91.203(a), §91.203 (b) and 14 CFR Part 47 §47.49 to the extent necessary to permit temporary operation of its U.S

. registered aircraft in domestic operations without the registration, certificate of airworthiness, or both on board untilsuch time as the lost, stolen, or mutilated certificate(s) can be replaced. Exemptions similar to this petition have been granted, amended, and extended, for air carriers operating within the 48 contiguous United States and adhering to the procedures and policies described withinthe exemption (Ref. GrantofExemption No. 8662).
