Mr. John Porter
29 Walnut Via Anaheim, CA 92801

Dear Mr. Porter:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted y our petition to extend Exemption No. 6521, 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 1, 2010, you petitioned the Fe deral Aviation Administration (FAA) for an extension of Exemption No. 6521, as amended. That exemption from § 91.109(a) and (b)(3) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CPR) a llows you to conduct certain flight instruction and simulated flights to meet recent in strument experience requirements in certain Beechcraft airplanes equipped with a functioning th rowover control wheel in place of functioning dual controls.

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 of the exemption w ould not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to you.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for t he issuance of Exemption No. 6521, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exempti on and is in the public interest. Therefore,2

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

2. Operations under this exemption are limited to Baro n, Beechcraft Bonanza, Debonair, or Travel Air airplanes equipped with a f unctioning throwover control wheel and operable rudder pedals, in lieu of functi oning dual controls.

3. The pilot manipulating the controls under the terms of this exemption must be qualified in every respect to serve as pilot in com mand (PIC) of the airplane during the entire flight. While operating under this exem ption, the pilot seated in the left
seat must at all times serve as and remain PIC as d efined in 14 CFR § 1.1. The PIC must agree to the provisions of this exemption.

4. While serving as flight instructor under the terms of this exemption, Mr. Porter

must:

a. Notwithstanding Condition No. 5 below, be otherwise fully qualified to serve as PIC and flight instructor in the airplane involv ed, as required by 14 CFR § 61.195(b) and (f); and

b. Have given at least 25 hours of dual instruction in the airplane involved.

5. Mr. Porter when serving as the flight instructor un der the conditions of this exemption, and the PIC must agree that the proposed flight, under the conditions in evidence at the time of proposed flight, can be con ducted safely.

The Effect of Our Decision

Our decision extends the termination date of Exempt ion No. 6521, as amended, to October 31, 2012, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.3

All conditions and limitations of Exemption No. 652 1, as amended, remain the same. This letter must be attached to, and is a part of, Exemp tion No. 6521.
