Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 77 prohibits flight operations conducted with U.S. registered aircraft except as may be approved by the FAA. Mondoil hereby seeks authority to conduct Part 91 flight operations with aircraft owned or leased by Mondoil, and flown by airmen employed by Jet Aviation Flight Services, Inc., holding certificates issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.

SFAR 77 provides that no person may conduct flight operations over or within the territory ofIraq except as otherwise provided inthe SFAR. One suchproviso, and the

one applicable to the facts ofthis request, is contained in Section 3 ofthe SFAR. This section of the SFAR states that the special regulation does not prohibit persons otherwise precluded from conducting operations over or within the territory ofIraq when such operations are ¥ither; (i) authorized by another U.S. Government agency with the approval of the FAA, or; (ii) authorized by an exemption granted by the Administrator. Mondoil hereby seeks the approval of the FAA for the operations described herein eitherby an appropriate approval, orby exemption, as determined by the FAA. In supportofthisrequestMondoil states as follows:

Mondoil proposes to conduct operations between points outside of Iraq and Erbil, Iraq through ORER (ICAO designator). These flight operations will be conducted under Part 91 authority using N877A, a long range, turbojet aircraft, owned and operated by Mondoil. The aircraft flight crews will all possess airman certificates issued by the FAA. The aircraft will transport key executives and others in furtherance ofthe business interests ofMondoil, which is invested in companies exploring and developing oil fields located in the Kurdistan region ofIraq. 

### It is initially expected that operations will be conducted to and from Iraq on the average of once monthly, althoughthe frequency ofoperations could differ.

Mondoil is investing in and otherwise assisting those in Iraq that are pursuing oil exploration and development. To the extent increasing oil related revenues will allow for greater stability of the Government of Iraq, and the entire Middle East region, the national and security interests ofthe United Stateswill befurthered by approval ofthese flight operations.
