Exemp tion No. 7827H Regul atory Docket No. FAA-2002-12484

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 y our petition to extend and amend Exemption No. 7827, as amended. It explains the basis for ou r decision, describes its effect, and lists the

conditions and limitations.

The Basis for Our Decision

By letter dated June 7, 2010, you petitioned the Fe deral Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Dynamic Aviation Group, Inc. (Dynamic Avi ation), for an extension and amendment to Exemption No. 7827, as amended. That exemption from § 137.53(c)(2) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations permits Dynam ic Aviation to conduct aerial applications of insecticide materials without the a ircraft being equipped with a device that is capable of jettisoning at least one-half of the air craft’s maximum authorized load of agricultural materials within 45 seconds when opera ting over a congested area. The amendment you request would add the following aircr aft to the exemption.

Registration Number Serial Number

N7199L LU-009

N75N LM-057

N72J LM-072

N79W LM-0772

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were th e basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for n ot publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register

because the requested extension and amendment to t he exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Dynamic Aviation.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for t he issuance of Exemption No. 7827, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exempti on and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated to me, I grant your petition, subject to the following conditions and limitations.

Conditions and Limitations

1. This exemption is limited to Beechcraft King Air 65 A90-1, 65A90-4, and BE-90 aircraft equipped for agricultural operations in th e restricted category in accordance with a field approved alteration, documented on FAA Form 337.

3.

Under no condition will the aircraft’s gross weight exceed the maximum takeoff gross weight specified in the FAA-approved airplane fligh t manual.

4. Prior to each flight, a document must be prepared s howing the weight and balance calculations and the altitude performance for the f orecast operating density altitude. The document must be retained for at least 30 days and must be presented upon request to the FAA inspector assigned to oversee th e petitioner’s part 137 operation.

5. A copy of this exemption must be provided to each p ilot in command (PIC) who operates under this exemption.

This list will identify the registr ation and serial numbers of the aircraft being used.

The Effect of Our Decision
