Petition For Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2020-1057.
    Petitioner: B/E Aerospace--FSI.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. Sec.  25.813(e) and 
121.310(f)(6).
    Description of Relief Sought: B/E Aerospace--FSI is seeking relief 
from the requirement that no door may be installed between any 
passenger seat that is occupiable for takeoff and landing and any 
passenger emergency exit, such that the door crosses any egress path 
(including aisles, crossaisles and passageways), as well as the 
requirement that no person may operate an airplane that incorporates a 
door installed between any passenger seat occupiable for takeoff and 
landing and any passenger emergency exit. The petitioner is proposing 
to install expandable monuments at emergency exits on Boeing Model 777 
and Model 787 airplanes and Airbus Model A330 and Model A350 airplanes. 
The expandable monument is a modular transforming-unit that exploits 
underutilized areas in the cabin by expanding to provide additional 
usable space. This is achieved by taking advantage of unused space, 
unfolding in-flight to provide additional service areas. When the 
modular units are deployed, they block the emergency exits and the 
attendant seats, located at the exits.
