Request for Exemption 

FAA Case No. 2011NM050028 

• This is a Request for Exemption from provisions of Section 65.91 ( c )( 1) of the 

Federal Aviation Administrations Regulations. 

• I am requesting an Exemption from the 3-year waiting period for my LA. to be 

eligible to regain my certificate immediately. 

• It has become a severe burden on my family, both financially and mentally. I am 

unable to do my work for my customers. I not only do LA. work in and around 

Montana but also in the Dakotas, Wyoming, Alaska, ETC. There are very few 

LA. 's working who will travel to do the work necessary for air safety. I have a 

good repore with my customers and they would be very reluctant to take their 

work elsewhere due to both added expense and loss of work time. 

• In the 4 7 plus years I have been in Aviation maintenance, I have had only this 

minor incident on my record and I think my punishment was overly unjust for 

what I was accused of I had nor ever had the Intention of falsifying any records: 

This is an Honest mistake which I told the FAA at that time. NO LIES! 

• I have had my I.A. certificate since 1970 and obviously have the qualifications to 

continue in the Field. 

• If I did not have the experience for the job I could not have been accepted as a 

DAR for Eight years or be on the federal register as a GS-12 from 1985 to 1992. 

• My first priority as always the safety of my customers and their equipment 

• When I was suspended I was not given a hearing to explain anything. I was 

ordered to surrender my license or be threatened by a civil suit or penalty. 

• I have enclosed letters from the Flying public to help in my endeavor to regain my 

I.A. certificate. 

• The FAA lawyer in Washington State and Helena FSDO has told me that they 

would have no problem with my reinstatement of my I. A 

• I have retaken my A&P exams and passed with high marks. 
• I have done my A&P and passed and am waiting for my license. 

• I have also requested that the FAA retain my same number. 

• If you need any more information please advise

Talking to Mr. Patrick MacQuarrie of the Helena FSDO, and he in turn talking to the 

FAA legal council in Renton, Washington came up with the Exemption Petition. 

Regarding the reinstatement of Bryan Lawson's LA Authorization Certificate, it was 

mentioned with the legal council of the FAA, in Renton, Washington, that a "Exemption" 

could be authorized from you're office in Washington, DC. Mr. MacQuarrie said that he 

was in charge of the Helena FSDO and that your decision would be final, he also stated 

that he and everyone in his office would not oppose Mr. Lawson to get his IA certificate 

license back; Legal also said that they would not interfere with the decision if it was 

decided to reinstate the LA Everyone in the NW MTN REGION is agreeable that Mr. 

Lawson would not be opposed to have his license reinstated, but no one wants to step up 

and allow the 3-year requirement approval without rulemaking approval. 

I don't know all the legal jargon, I just say it as most non-legal professionals see it, and 

here it is: 

As the FAA motto is: "We Are Here to Help." We are asking it now. 

Mr. Lawson did a pre inspection of the aircraft N1012T on 3-17-2011, and in the pre 

inspection report along with a few discrepancies found that the AD 2006-08-08 was due! 

He informed me before he could not do an annual inspection until the AD had been 

completed, I acknowledged the fact and said that I would get it done. Mr. Lawson and I 

had an agreement that he was not going to give me the logbooks until I got the AD done. 

I tried to find an inspector that could do the inspection. After a few days I called the 

Factory and found that to do the AD that they had to be factory trained, at that time he 

gave me a list of names that I could call to have the AD complied with. Most would not 

travel and do it out of their shop but I found two that would, one in Argyle, Minnesota 

and one in Seattle, Washington. Knowing the one in Minnesota I called him first, he gave 

me the breakdown and supposedly details that the AD was a in his own words a "BS AD 

just don't wreck". His determination of the AD was that a guy in the south was spreading 

fertilizer for 13 years with a AT-502, and that he had not washed or cleaned it in that time 

so the wing basically rotted off, and it rotted through the AD bolt area so the FAA made 

it mandatory for the inspection. He also said that he couldn't come for a couple of 

months, well into my spray season. 

The one in Seattle also was reluctant to come out and do it but said I would need to pay 

for all Flights, travel expenses, loss workdays and $1200.00, which I agreed to, for him to 

do the actual inspection. He said it would be at least 2 days from work, and that it would 

be a couple of weeks before he could come anyway. The time would be well into my 
busy time of work again. Scheduling where I would be at, at the time and that my 

window of work is very limited I could not seem to get in schedule with the guy in 

Seattle. I then thought that that I would do it in the fall/Winter when the plane would be 

idle for a while, Knowing what the inspector had said I was not too concerned with the 

AD, or the wing falling off. 

Mr. Lawson's emergency order of revocation, Page 1(5), it says that upon your release of 

Nl012T you failed to provide its owner with a signed and dated list of discrepancies that 

included the failure to perform AD 2006-08-08, Page 2 (a) also says that he failed to give 

the owner or lessee of that aircraft a signed and dated list of those discrepancies, as you 

can see in Exhibit B, he did leave me with a signed pre inspection report. 

The Aircraft N1012T inspection was done at my friends hanger, so Mr. Lawson had no 

control over the aircraft after the inspection. 

Unfortunately Mr. Lawson signed the logbooks in trust that I was going to have the AD 

finished in a few days we never spoke about the logbooks until after the accident where 

the engine failed. 

A couple of days after the engine failed I finally got a hold of Mr. Lawson and said that I 

damaged the plane and needed the log books, "which he still had", for the FAA. Mr. 

Lawson not even knowing or thinking that I had not gotten the AD requirement done he 

given me the log books. I in tum supplied them to Mr. Justensen (FAA) accident 

investigator. 

Mr. Justensen from the FAA called and said the AD was not done and I acknowledged 

that I had not gotten it done and that Mr. Lawson was not at fault, but he had them signed 

in the case that I needed them and he would not be there, AGAIN, Mr. Lawson thinking 

the inspection was or would have be done. 

Mr. Lawson in the mean time was revocated for 3 months and since the three months 

time the FAA has allowed him to retake the A&P of his license, which he has passed all 

three exams and oral and practical and has been reinstated to A&P status. The 

exemptions we are asking for is the 3-year rule of time exemption and ask that 3 ofthe 42 

years of IA status be allowed. 

Lets look at it like this; if you graduated from Harvard you have some kind of Degree. No 

one can take that away from you. The same goes for certain time requirements, if you 

have the time no one can dispute that you have the time, Period. Its like having time in a 

time bank, its yours. 

It has been brought to my attention that if a, lets call it example 1, "NEW'' mechanic that 

has had an A&P Certificate for less than 3 years, that it would not be appropriate to 

render him a Exemption because he has not fulfilled his 3 years of A&P work to fulfill 

the certificate requirements to receive his I. A Certificate, but if a mechanic has a 

revocation as Mr. Lawson that has used his time in his time bank to have his 30 months 
to receive his A&P status again, a person would think it would only be approiate that his 

42 years as an I.A. should be bankable for him to use to waive the 3 years required for the 

new I.A. certificate. 

Example #2 If an commercial pilot tries to obtain an ATP but is short the required hours, 

no he probably would not obtain his objective, but if ATP has a revocation and has to 

obtain an ATP again he does not have to go fly for the cretin number of hours needed to 

obtain the license, he has already has done the required time to have the minimum 

required hours to meet the requirements. We could go on and on. 

The hours that Mr. Lawson has is 47 plus years of service in the aviation industry, He 

acquired his A license in 1965, his P license in 1967 and his I.A. Authorization in 1970, 

1985 to 1992 he worked for the FAA as a DAR. That's 4 7 years of aviation experience, 

and 42 years of having an I.A. experience, more than the required 3 years of time the 

FAA requires to obtain an I.A., that is time that is never going to be taken away, he will 

have that for ever. In this 47 plus years Mr. Lawson has never been in violation of any 

FAA laws for his mechanical ability to perform his duties, his only violation was signing 

the books prematurely, with absolutely NO intent to defraud the FAA. 

Mr. Lawson, a man of 72 years of age, 3 children still in High School could not just go 

out and find another job that easily. The other part to this factor is that nearly 50 small 

AG and Ranch airplanes are dependent on Mr. Lawson being there in an I.A. status to 

keep these planes in legal running condition. The I.A. situation in the Eastern Montana 

town of Forsyth has one other lA mechanic but will not work on anything but his own 

planes. 

The FAA has the power to do as they please, lift a hand or push him back under. In the 

revocation order it was stated that he could not obtain a license of any kind for at least a 

year, The FAA optited for 3 months which we are all very grateful, this is why we feel 

the regulation has room for leniency in the 3 year time restraint for Mr. Lawson.

EMERGENCY ORDER OF REVOCATION 

Under 49 U.S.C. § 46105(c), the Administrator has determined that an emergency exists 

related to safety in air commerce and that immediate action to revoke your Mechanic 

Certificate No. 001780196, with Airframe and Powerplant Ratings and Inspection 

Authorization is required. The reasons for this determination are set forth in the paragraph 

below entitled "Determination of Emergency." 

Based on an investigation and all evidence presently before the Administrator, the Administrator 

finds that: 

1. You are now and were at all times material hereto the holder of Mechanic Certificate No. 

001780196, with Airframe and Powerplant Ratings and Inspection Authorization. 

2. On or about April 19, 2011, you made an entry in the maintenance records of an Air 

Tractor Model AT401 aircraft, N1012T, in which you certified that N1012T had been 

inspected in accordance with (the requirements for) an annual inspection and that you had 

determined the aircraft to be in an airworthy condition. · 

3. This maintenance record entry was intentionally false because you did not complete the 

inspection due to your inability to perform required Airworthiness Directive (AD) 

2006-08-08 and you orally informed the owner ofN1012T that you could not and would 

not complete the inspection. 

4. Notwithstanding your failure to complete the annual inspection, as stated in Paragraph 3, 

upon the owner ofN1012T telling you he would have AD 2006-08-08 performed at 

another time and place, you created the record described in Paragraph 2 and released 

Nl012T back to the owner's control, knowing that the aircraft was not airworthy. 

5. \.},_. d tiM ~fN.w+2~;J't1tf failed ttJ ptovide its, owner-with a sigmedtmtWr!tettlist

V By reason of the foregoing facts and circumstances, you violated the following sections of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R.): 

a. Section 43.11(b), In that you performed an inspection of an aircraft required by part 91 

or 125 or Section 135.411(a)(l) of this chapter and you found that the aircraft is 

unairworthy or does not meet the applicable type certificate data, airworthiness 

directives, or other approved data upon which its airworthiness depends, butfailoo.-to 

give the owneror lessee of that aircraft a signed and dated l~st of those discrepancies. 

J) ,;j ~tl! ~lfn/td -.J- ea/e.cl /J1tthrtu<! ~~~~ /I;IJ. 

b. Section 43.12(a)(l), in that you made or caused to be made a fraudulent or 

intentionally false entry in a record or report that was required to be made, kept, or 

used to show compliance with a requirement under Part 43 of the Federal Aviation 

Regulations. · 

As a result of the foregoing, the Administrator finds that you lack the qualifications necessary to 

hold Mechanic Certificate No. 001780196, with Airframe and Powerplant Ratings and Inspection 

Authorization. He therefore has determined that safety in air commerce or air transportation and 

the public interest require the revocation of the above-mentioned certificate(s). The Administrator 

further finds that an emergency requiring immediate action exists with respect to safety in air 

commerce or air transportation. Accordingly, this Order is effective immediately. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator by 

49 U.S.C. §§ 44709 and 46105(c), that: 

1. Effective immediately, Mechanic Certificate No. 001780196, with Airframe and 

Powerplant Ratings and Inspection Authorization, and any other airman certificate of any 

kind that you hold, is hereby revoked. 

2. You must surrender the authorization immediately by mail or delivery to the Office of 

Regional Counsel, ANM-7, Federal Aviation Administration, Northwest Mountain 

Region, 1601 Lind Avenue SW, Renton, Washington 98057. 

3. No application for a new Mechanic Certificate shall be accepted from you, nor shall any 

airman certificate be issued to you for a period of one year from the date of service of this 

Order. 

DETERMINATION OF EMERGENCY 

Under 49 U.S.C. § 46105(c) the Administrator has determined that an emergency exists related to 

safety in air commerce. This determination is based on your lack of qualification to hold Mechanic 

Certificate No. 001780196 because of the nature and seriousness of the violations set forth in this 

Order. 
...

~ ..... Page 3 . 

You made an entry in the maintenance record ofN1012T representing that you performed an 

annual inspection and finding that N1012T was airworthy and approving it for return to service. 

At the time you made these entries the aircraft was not in an airworthy condition because you 

failed to perform a required AD. You intentionally and falsely represented that N1012T had 

been properly inspected and released into service when in fact the true condition of the aircraft 

was unknown. Under the circumstances, your performance of maintenance involved either 

grossly careless or reckless conduct that evidences your unwillingness or inability to comply with 

the minimum regulatory requirements governing the performance of maintenance. Moreover, 

your conduct demonstrates your disregard of the serious safety consequences that flow from your 

deficient maintenance. 

Accordingly, the Administrator has determined in protection of the public that safety in air 

commerce require the immediate revocation of your Mechanic Certificate No. 001780196, with 

Airframe and Powerplant Ratings and Inspection Authorization. Emergency action in this case is a 

safety measure that provides immediate protection to the public. Moreover, it is long standing 

FAA policy to declare an emergency under 49 U.S.C. § 46105(c) when, in circumstances such as 

those alleged in this Order, the Administrator determines that the certificate holder lacks the 

qualifications to hold the particular certificates or authorization implicated by those 

circumstances. 

In conclusion, the Administrator has determined that under the criteria of FAA Order 2150.3B, 

Chapter 6, pages 7-10 and Chapter 7, pages 1-3 your conduct as alleged in this Order demonstrates

This letter is in behalf of Bryan Lawson whose license was revoked in November. 

The flying public here in Eastern Montana, N&S Dakota and Wyoming needs mechanics like Bryan 

Lawson for the fact that he has a reputation of being fair and thorough in his inspections and mechanic 

work. 

If he is not allowed to have his I.A. certificate for the total of three years the chance of some planes in 

this area will probably not see another annual until he is reinstated, this as we see it could be far more 

de.trimental tha11 the infraction implied upon him. . . 

Bryan has worked hard to get the "Ranch Planes" that were annual less for years, back in "Annual 

Criteria" to be legal again and on a regular maintained schedule, not to mention the aircraft he has on a 

maintance schedule from the years of quality service in Montana, N&S Dakota and Wyoming. 

"I Demand to see the FAA give Bryan Lawson a break on the 48 plus year's "Experience" as they said 

they would, and use that 48+ years that he has and ''NOT" make him wait the full 3 years, as the FAA 

deems fit for his punishmenf'.

This letter is in behalf of Bryan Lawson whose license was revoked in November. 

The flying public here in Eastern Montana, N&S Dakota and Wyoming needs mechanics like Bryan 

Lawson for the fact that he has a reputation of being fair and thorough in his inspections and mechanic 

work. 

If he is not allowed to have his I. A certificate for the total of three years the chance of some planes in 

this area will probably not see another annual until he is reinstated, this as we see it could be far more 

detrimental than the infraction implied upon him. 

Bryan has worked hard to get the "Ranch Planes" that were annual less for years, back in "Annual 

Criteria" to be legal again and on a regular maintained schedule, not to mention the aircraft he has on a 

maintance schedule from the years of quality service in Montana, N&S Dakota and Wyoming. 

"I Demand to see the FAA give Bryan Lawson a break on the 48 plus year's "Experience" as they said 

they would, and use that 48+ years that he has and "NOT" make him wait the full 3 years, as the FAA 

deems fit for his punishment".
