Subject: Exemption Title 14 Part 120, Tracking # 80c2a841 

Las Vegas Helicopters, inc. LV6A930M dba. Adventure Helicopter Tours, and Air & Land 

Ventures Inc, LOA ID No. AHTJWPOl requests an exemption from Title 14, Part 120. This will 

permit us while conducting commercial air tours under Part 91.147 and Part 135 to reduce one 

program of administration of our safety sensitive employees under one DOT drug and alcohol 

program. Testing employees twice, to do the same job in the same company is senseless. 

We seek this relief to reduce costs and redundancy for both parties, the FAA and Adventure 

Helicopter Tours. The costs of double testing, separate filing systems, and duplicate 

administration efforts in a very small company is a significant detriment. 

We currently utilize two separate Third Party Administrators. (Norton and NATA) This 

exemption would allow us to combine the databases and paperwork under one TPA to work 

with Adventure to ensure compliance and efficiency.

COMMENT 

Las Vegas Helicopters, Inc. dba. Adventure Air Tours, 

LV6A930M, and Air & Land Ventures Inc, LOA ID no 

AHTJWPOl requests a grant of exemption from Title 14, part 

120 to permit us to conduct drug program administratbn of our 

safety sensitive employees under one DOT drug and afcohol 

program. Our business model will eventually consist of 

commercial air tours under both Part 91 and Part 135. Without 

an exemption we would be testing pibts twice to do essentially 

the same mission in the same airspace. As a small tour operator, 

operating only two (2) aircraft with a maximum of 8 pibts this 

waiver would aDow us to eliminate redundancy and additional 

costs required to sustain two programs and two sets of records. 

We will be contract with NATA to assist us in our management 

efforts.
