## Petition for Exemption

*Docket No.:*                         FAA-2021-0489.                    

*Petitioner:*                         San Antonio Air Charter.                    

*Sections of 14 CFR Affected:*                         61.113(a); 91.7(a); 91.319(a); 135.25(a); 135.93; 135.143(a) and (b); and 135.115.                    

*Description of Relief Sought:*                         San Antonio Air Charter (SAAC) petitions for an exemption from Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations §§ 61.113(a); 91.7(a); 91.319(a); 135.25(a); 135.93; 135.143(a) and (b); and 135.115 that would allow SAAC, a part 135 operator, to enable unmanned aircraft system (UAS) commercial flights of a developmental optionally piloted aircraft (OPA). That UAS, the Textron Grand Caravan 208B, has been modified to enable OPA operations—when the aircraft is flown as if it is unmanned from a ground control station, but is actually under the supervision of an on-board pilot in command, who is able to disconnect the auto-flight system and assume traditional control of the aircraft should an off-nominal situation arise.
