### Re: Petition for Exemption on behalf of the Planes of Fame Air Museum
Dear Sir /Madam:
I represent Mr. Steve Hinton, the president of the Planes of Fame Air Museum, ("Air Museum") located at the Chino airport in Chino, California. We file this Petition seeking Exemption of the following sections of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

• 91.315 (Limited Category Civil Aircraft: Operating Limitations) • 91.319 (Aircraft Having Experimental Certificates: Operating Limitations) • 119.5(g) (Certifications, Authorizations and Prohibitions) • 119.21(a) (Commercial Operators Engaged In Intrastate Common Carriage and Direct Air Carriers).
The Air Museum seeks the exemptions identified above for the following aircraft, which hold Limited or Experimental airworthiness certificates, for the purpose of carrying Planes of Fame members, and other passengers, on local educational flights for compensation or hire: • Curtiss P-40 • Douglas SBD-5 • North American B-25 • North American P-51 • Vought F4U-1A

IN LOVING MEMORY: JAMES E. BEASLEY, SR. 1926-2004

### U.S. Department of Transportation In Re: Planes of Fame Air Museum Petition for Exemption 29 October 2014 Page2
The FAA has previously granted this exact Exemption to the Petitioner: Exemption No. 7063, Regulatory Docket# 29453 is attached as Exhibit "A." 

### The FAA has similarly granted analogous Exemptions as identified by Exhibits "B" (Yankee Air Force), "C" (Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation), "D" (Collings Foundation), and "E" (the Experimental Aircraft Association). The Air Museum is one of the oldest and most respected air museums in the United States, and has an impeccable safety record. It operates historic aircraft, is one of the few, select museums permitted to support the United States Air Force's "Heritage Flight" program, and seeks the exemptions identified in this Petition so that it may continue its operations and to ensure that the public continues to learn about and experience flights in these remarkable, historically significant aircraft. Petitioner follows the same maintenance and operational requirements as identified in its prior Exemption, and therefore the Air Museum's maintenance and pilot qualifications already meet or exceed the FAA's requirements.
As identified by the attachments, good cause exists to provide the Petitioner an Exemption in accord with its prior Exemption. The FAA has previously determined, on multiple occasions, that there are educational and historic benefits to permitting the Petitioner, and other similarly situated entities, to operate these historic aircraft vvith the enumerated exemptions of Title 14. The FAA refers to these flight operations as "Living History Flight Experiences" ("LHFE") and these flight experiences benefit the public in a way that cannot be recreated vvith a static-only museum environment. Exemptions of the aforementioned sections of Title 14 are regularly granted and are in the public interest. The FAA has also recognized that contributions are necessary so that the Air Museum, and other similarly situated entities, can continue its operations in maintaining these aircraft and to provide a flying experience to the public. Accordingly, the Air Museum therefore respectfully requests that this Petition for Exemption be granted. We are available to address any questions or concerns, and appreciate your consideration of this important request.

Mr. John W. Harrington Planes of Fame Air Museum WWII Cal Aero Field 7000 Merrill Avenue, Box 17 Chino, CA 91710 Dear Mr. Harrington: Exemption No. 7063 Regulatory Docket No. 29453

By letter dated January 15, 1999, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Planes of Fame Air Museum (Planes of Fame) for an exemption from Sections 91.315, 91.319, 119.5(g), and 119.21(a) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) to the extent necessary to permit Planes of Fame to operate its Curtiss P-40 (P-40), Douglas SBD-5 (SBD-5), North American B-25 (B-25) and P-51 (P-51), and Vought F4U-1A (F4U-1A) airplanes, which hold limited or experimental certificates, for the purpose of carrying Planes of Fame members and other passengers on local educational flights for compensation or hire. The FAA has issued several grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. For example, in Grant of Exemptio·n No. 6792 (copy enclosed), the FAA found that preserving historic military airplanes is in the public interest in the same manner preserving historic buildings, landmarks, and neighborhoods was found to be in the public interest. The FAA noted that while aviation history can be represented with static displays in museums, similar to the way historic landmarks can be represented in museums, the public has shown a willingness to support the preservation and operation of vintage airplanes and a desire to experience flights in these historic airplanes.
In addition, the FAA recognized that the only way to maintain vintage airplanes in an operational status is to accept financial contributions to defray the high maintenance costs and to ensure flightcrew operating experience requirements are met. As a result, in return for a contribution, members of the public have the opportunity to experience a local flight in an historic airplane. The FAA concluded that without this contribution, operators of vintage airplanes would not be able to raise sufficient funds to maintain the airplanes and provide flying experiences to the public.

AFS-99-156-El

The FAA noted that individuals who accept a flight on these airplanes differ from the general traveling public because they support the continued operation of these historic airplanes through a substantial monetary donation. In addition, the FAA added that many of these passengers are familiar with the airplanes' military history and are aware they are not standard category airplanes. The FAA also found the operation of former military airplanes can present significant safety issues, such as life-limited parts and airplane design, and determined that all flight crewmembers must be required to meet stringent qualification and training requirements. Therefore, the FAA issued grants of exemption with certain conditions and limitations to standardize the maintenance and inspection of the airplanes and ensure the exemption holder maintains highly skilled and qualified pilots to operate its airplanes. Finally, the FAA noted it has initiated rulemaking to permit operators of vintage airplanes to provide flight experiences to the public for compensation or hire. The FAA stated that if these operations conform to regulations based on the conditions and limitations in Grant of Exemption No. 6792, an adequate level of safety will be maintained. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find they do not differ materially from those presented by the petitioner in the enclosed grant of exemption. In addition, I have determined that the reasons stated by the FAA for granting the enclosed exemption also apply to the situation you present. In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. Sections 40113 and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator (14 CFR Section 11.53), Planes of Fame Air Museum is granted an exemption from 14 CFR Sections 91.315, 91.319(a), 119.5(g), and 119.21(a) to the extent necessary to permit Planes of Fame to operate its B-25, F4U-1A, P-40, P-51, and SBD-5 airplanes, which hold limited or experimental certificates, for the purpose of carrying Planes of Fame members and other passengers on local educational flights for compensation or hire, subject to the following conditions and limitations: 1.

Mr. Robert F. Collings, Jr. Executive Director The Collings Foundation P.O. Box248 Stow, MA 01775
Dear Mr. Collings: Exemption No. 6540N 800 Independence Ave

.. S W Washington. D.C. 20591

Regulatory Docket No. FAA-200 1-11089

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition to extend Exemption No. 6540, as amended. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists the conditions and limitations.
The Basis for Our Decision By docket submission dated October 9, 2013, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of The Collings Foundation (Collings) for an extension of Exemption No. 6540, as amended. That exemption from§§ 91.315, 91.319(a), 119.5(g), and 119.21(a) ofTitle 14, Code ofFederal Regulations allows Collings to operate its Boeing B-17 (B-17), Consolidated B-24 (B-24), North American B-25 (B-25), McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom (F-4), McDonnell Douglas TA-41 Skyhawk (A-4), Grumman TBM (G-TBM), Fieseler Co. Fi-156 Storch (Storch), and Bell UH-1 (UH-1) for the purpose of carrying passengers for compensation or hire on local flights for educational and historical purposes. In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.
The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary ofthe petition in the Federal Register because the requested extension ofthe exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Collings.

AFS-14-014-E2 Since issuance of Exemption No. 6540M, the FAA developed a research paper 'Civil Airworthiness Certification: Former Military High-Performance Aircraft' dated September 19, 2013 that includes potential safety issues and risk factors associated with high-performance former military aircraft. It contains valuable safety data, recommendations and resources we believe can contribute to the safe operation of your aircraft. The FAA released this research paper for the purposes of communicating safety information to those involved in the certification, operation, and maintenance ofthose aircraft. The identified safety issues and recommended mitigation strategies can be considered as part ofthe certification, operation, and maintenance of the aircraft. As a result, we recommend that the information contained in the research paper be considered by Collings, especially for the operation ofthe TA-4J and the F-4D. The research paper is available at: http://www .faa.govIaircraft/air cert/airworthiness certification/former military/
Our Decision The FAA has modified the conditions and limitations of Exemption No. 6540, to address inconsistent terminology used when describing the required training tasks. The changes are to clarify the original content, further define the intent, and provide consistency in the safety related aspects ofthe conditions and limitations of the Living History Flight Experience (LHFE) exemptions as they are amend. In addition, the FAA has clarified, in greater detail, the applicable technical guidance (maintenance, operations, and training) affecting the F-4D and the TA-4J aircraft.
Please note that the conditions and limitations included with an exemption are not based on specific regulations but are the FAA's means of ensuring an equivalent level of safety. This may necessitate limitations that go beyond the established regulations because the proposed operation/exemption is outside the normal regulatory structure. Throughout the limitations, all general references to the "F-4" and "A-4" were changed to the specific model, namely F-40 and TA-6J respectively, as discussed in the technical guidance.
Limitation No.5 was changed by adding examples of USAF references to ensure a more accurate representation ofthe applicable guidance.
Limitation No. 6 was changed by adding examples ofNAVAIR references to ensure a more accurate representation ofthe applicable guidance.
Limitation No. 11 was split into 11 and 12 to differentiate between the F-40 and the TA-4J aircraft. The multi-engine configuration ofthe F-4D makes that distinction necessary. Also, the reference to the applicable USAF proficiency standard standardization check procedures was added for clarity.
Limitation No. 22 thru 26, Required Training Tasks table, for tasks (c), (d), and (e) as previously drafted lead the reader to the incorrect impression that an actual shutdown ofthe powerplant was required during task (c); Takeoffs & Departures. A clarification is necessary since the term3 "simulated powerplant failure" was used in task (e). The wording is revised to clarify that the actual shutdown (and re-start) of a powerplant should only be demonstrated in task (d); Inflight Maneuvers for the B-17, B-24, and B-25. The revision also stipulates that an actual shutdown and re-start of a powerplant is only required for initial PIC qualification, and it would not apply to the F-4D, where simulation is acceptable.
Limitation No. 27, Required Training Tasks table for second in command (SIC) in the B-17, B-24, and B-25 task (e) had previously used the terms "engine-out procedures" and "maneuvering with an engine-out" which is inconsistent with the terminology used in the PIC training table. The wording is revised to state the requirements are "engine-out procedures" and "maneuvering with an engine out" consistent with§ 61.55.
Limitation No. 47 was changed to reference the Martin Baker MK.7 ejection seat system in the F-4D.
The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 6540, as amended, remains valid with respect to this exemption and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority provided by 49 U.S.C. 106(£), 40113 and 44701, which the FAA Administrator has delegated tome, I grant Collins Foundation as exemption from§§ 91.315, 91.319(a), 119.5(g), and 119.21(a) for the purpose of carrying passengers for compensation or hire on local flights for educational and historical purposes, subject to the following conditions and limitation.
