Subject: Docket number FAA-2000-8179, Exemption No. 5367 from 14 CFR 

(FAR Section) 91.531 (a) (3), Expiration Date April 30, 2015 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

In accordance with FAR 11.25, M7 Aerospace requests a renewal of Exemption 

5637, which expires on 4/30/2015. That exemption allows M7 Aerospace's type 

rated company pilots to conduct experimental, maintenance test and ferry flights in 

the SA227-CC and SA227-DC airplanes without a second in command (SIC). It also 

permits all operators of M7 Aerospace commuter category airplanes (SA227 -CC, 

SA227-DC and other airplanes on the same type certificate) to conduct flight 

operations without a designated second-in-command pilot, provided the airplane is 

type certificated for single-pilot operations and the airplane is carrying nine or fewer 

passengers. 

Regulations affected: 

14 CFR 91.531 (a)(3) requires two pilots for all large commuter category airplanes 

having a passenger seating configuration of ten or more seats, regardless of the 

passenger load or of FAA approval of the airplane for single-pilot operation. 

Relief sought: 

M7 Aerospace LLC asks that exemption 5367 be renewed to continue to allow M7 

Aerospace's type rated company pilots to conduct experimental, maintenance test, 

and ferry flights in the SA227-CC and SA227-DC airplanes without a second in 

command (SIC); and to continue to permit all operators of M7 Aerospace commuter 
j f. 

category airplanes (SA227 -CC and SA227 -DC and other airplanes on the same type 

certificate) to conduct flight operations without a designated second-in-command 

pilot, provided the airplane is type certificated for single-pilot operations and the 

airplane is carrying nine or fewer passengers. 

Justification: 

The justification detailed in exemption 5367 remains appropriate and ample. We 

believe that an extension of this exemption will continue to provide M7 Aerospace 

and our operators (meeting the requirements of this exemption) increased operating 

flexibility and reduced economic burdens. 

Public Interest: 

An amendment to this exemption will benefit the public by reducing the cost of flight 

test and ferrying aircraft and by reducing the cost of doing business, a cost that 

ultimately is passed on to the public. This exemption allows us to conduct all 

necessary flight operations in preparation for delivery of the airplane to the customer 

without a second-in-command. The absence of a second in command does not 

affect public safety, and reduces the final cost of maintenance of customer's aircraft.

Description of Relief Sought To renew exemption 5367.
