Mondoil Enterprises, LLC pelitloA 'for an ehcer6ption from Special Federal Aviation 

Regulation No.7? of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations 

Dear Sirs: 

The undersigned, on behalf of Mondoil Enterprises, LLC ("Mondoil") hereby seeks 

FAA approval to conduct flight operations to and from Iraq as further described 

herein. 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. 

Mondoil hereby requests FAA approval of the flight operations described below, or 

alternatively, hereby seeks the grant of an exemption from the prohibition of the 

SFAR request pursuant to Section 3 ofthe Special Regulation. 

SF AR 77 provides that no person may conduct flight operations over or within the 

territory of Iraq except as otherwise provided in the SF AR. One such proviso, and the 

one applicable to the facts of this request, is contained in Section 3 of the SF AR. This 

section of the SF AR states that the special regulation does not prohibit persons 

otherwise precluded from conducting operations over or within the territory of Iraq 

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 either by an appropriate approval, or by exemption, as determined by 

the FAA. In support ofthis request Mondoil 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 N877 A, 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 of the business interests of Mondoil, which is invested in 

companies exploring and developing oil fields located in the 

Kurdistan region of Iraq. It is initially expected that operations will 

be conducted to and from Iraq on the average of once monthly, 

although the frequency of operations could differ.

~ .lET RVIRTIDIII A G•NERAL DYNAMIC. COMPANY 

Jet Aviation Flight Services, Inc. maintains an ongoing contract with F AM 

International security consultants. The security provider maintains a presence in Erbil 

and will maintain close communication with the company and the aircraft flight crew 

during operations into and out of Erbil. Security teams provided by F AM 

International will move with both passengers and crew, ensuring that the flight crew 

and any ground staff are adequately protected while in Iraq. Jet Aviation Flight 

Services, Inc. has on staff flight control and international trip planners who work 

closely with a dedicated team at Universal Weather and Aviation, to manage flight 

logistics. The aircraft is free of any exterior markings except the FAA aircraft 

registration number. 

Flights will operate the aircraft to and from Iraq in accordance with threat 

assessment and all local operating rules/procedures so to exit the SF AR area 

expeditiously and thereby minimize hazards to the aircrew and aircraft. Routing 

into and out of Iraq will enter and depart the FIR through the mandated waypoints 

established by the ICAA. 

Exemption to SF AR 77 has been granted to other operators seeking similar 

support to the oil production within the Kurdistan Region. 

Approval of Mondoil operations to and from Iraq would be in the public interest. The 

Government of the United States has a long term national interest in the development 

of the economy of Iraq. Oil is the primary source of foreign exchange earnings for 

Iraq. The Government of Iraq has embarked on a program to increase oil production 

and to export oil to support its growing revenue needs. 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 of the United States will be furthered by approval ofthese flight operations.
