Subject: Application for Exemption for hours for CFR 147

. 21 This is a request for up to a 42 hour exemption to CFR 147.21 for attendance and volunteering at KidVenture / Oshkosh AirVenture. Students would gain a broader scope of general aviation and safety considerations involved in the handling of various aircraft, system maintenance , as well as networking with aviation professionals, attendance at workshops and a deeper understanding of the majority of subjects studied at the AMTS. The time volunteering at Oshkosh involves daily safety briefings by volunteer FAA safety and airworthiness inspectors and professional mechanics that share knowledge through real world experiences. The benefits to the industry include:

 

## Reinforcement of skills learned at AMTS by teaching learned skills to KidVenture attendees at various stations including, Electrical, Inspections, Engines, Structures, Composites, Aerodynamics, Wheel and Brakes.  

## An expanded understanding of the scope of General Aviation and advancements in technology

.  

## Reinforcement of Human Factors and Safety with messages delivered by guest speakers and other aviation professionals. Students would be supervised and in the presence of AMT instructors during the travel time and during the time at AirVenture so no curriculum will be missed. The approximate number of hours exposed to and worked in each se ction is listed below. The student will be volunteering in one or more of the areas listed below as well as attending workshops and seminars appropriate to the class section from which they are absent.
