Exemption No. 7827 J Regulatory Docket No. FAA

Mr. Michael Rosolina Flight Operations Manager, Aerial Application Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc.

P.O. Box 7 Bridgewater, VA 22812

Dear Mr. Rosolina :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to amend and extend Exemption

No. 7827 , as amended. It expl ains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the

co nditions and limitations.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated April 30, 2014

, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on

behalf of Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc. ( Dynamic Aviation )

, for an extension Exemption

No. 7827, as amended . T hat exemption from § 137.53(c)(2) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows Dynamic Aviation to condu ct aerial applications of insectic ide materials without the aircraft being equipped with a device that is capable of jettisoning at

least on e

- half of the aircraft’s maximum authorized load of agricultural materials within 45 seconds when operating over a congested area

.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption. You also request that the FAA consider a December 31

, expiration date that coincides with the calendar year and would be outside of the mosquito season.

The FAA has determined that good cau se exists for not publishing a summary of the petition

in the Federal Register because the requested extension of the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Dynamic Aviation.2

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 7827, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. §§ 106( f ), 40113 and 44701, whic h the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant you r petition which allows Dynamic Aviation to conduct aerial applications of insecticide materials without the aircraft being equipped with a device that is capable of jettisoning at least one

- half of t he aircraft’s maximum authorized load of agricultural materials within 45 seconds when operating over a congested area

have amend ed the expiration date to December 31, to coincide with the calendar year which is outside of mosquito season . The ex emption is subject to the following conditions and

limitations.
