Dear Ms. Scheu: 

Because of procedural time constraints, the FAA is following up to its letter to American 

Airlines, Inc. (AA) dated March 19, 2015--attached. In that letter, the FAA requested that 

AA provide dynamic testing data in order for the FAA to be able to continue its technical 

analysis of AA's petition for exemption, which AA submitted via letter dated February 9, 

2015 and placed in Docket No: FAA-2015-0409. 

The FAA is requesting that AA submits the previously requested dynamic testing data to the 

FAA no later than June 2, 2015. Meeting this deadline is imperative in order for the FAA to 

maintain its procedural schedule and be able to continue the analysis of AA's request for 

exemption, noted above. 

Additionally, given the precedent setting nature of AA's petition for exemption, in the near 

future, the FAA will also pnblish a notice in the Federal Register to give other companies, 

and the general pnblic, an opportunity to provide comments regarding AA's request for 

exemption. 

Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Nancy Claussen, 

Aviation Safety Inspector, Policy Integration Branch, AFS-270 at (202) 267-9991.
