Dear M~. Liu, 

t-«:11 IN PAGE 02 

1 am writing on behalf of Independent Aircrat\ Inc. to rcque$t a reopcnint of the comment period 

on the Petition for l:xc:mption found in Docket No. FAA-2012·0514. 

Petitioner ;~ reqvC!'ting ~n incrco~c in aircraft wci&)lt which exceeds t~ rnuximum tokeoff 

weight set by regulation for LSA. Given the signifie:.nt S3fety $~ Ut$ involved with increasing :1 

weight limit. especially by such a larcc pcrctnlDt;e oftotal weight we believe tnat the comment 

period should be r.xtended. 

Thank you ft~r your consideration of lndcpcndem Aircraft'~ requeSt tbr ~n extension of the 

cotnmcnt period for an additional 90 days.

DOl It to I><: opcr.liCCI in thiS c:xtegory would not exceed a certain wcieht. To ';;ow. ;xc-.;:,p~ · ~ 

muuu(•cturcr from nteeting those weight requirements e:;sentially means that the weight limit 

w.,, meaningless in the first plsce. Plelll'e do not mi,undcrstand - we arc 311 for cre.lting ,~(e 

aircrufl with design enhancementS to better prutect :~gainst ·issues such ns uncommandetl spill~ 

hut if this manufacturer wi~hcs to create an Aira:l{twitlt this capabihty and it cannot do $0 under 

the weicht Jimi~ fof lit!ht-~port aircruf\, then thot At its very hc.'trt is not M LSA nnd the 

manul3cturcr should ~ required to d<:siSJl ond manufacture that aircraft under the noon~l 

CCTtification rules rather than the I..SA rules. 

Thil: leads t<> our secondary COI'Icetn with ~ to this petition. While there appcll~ to be 

:;omc suppon for it, we would like to poirtt out that '' oppc.1rs to be coming primnrily from 

compuniC$ th:.t would hove some ~nomic benefit from the exemption be•ng 

~ntcd. UnfonunaJely, it would be grossly unf3ir to mnnnf~crurcrs th3t are trying to <.lc:sign and 

manurncnm: aircrallthot 11Ctu3lly meet the basic LSA requirements.
