Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2022-0553.
    Petitioner: Trans Executive Airlines of Hawaii d/b/a Transair 
Express.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  60.17.
    Description of Relief Sought: Transair Express and several other 
operators continue to operate the SD3-60 aircraft, but there is only 
one remaining SD3-60 flight simulator in operation. Once withdrawn from 
operation, and without a suitable FAA-certified simulator available, 
FAA-certified SD3-60 operators would be forced to conduct required 
flight crew training onboard aircraft during flights. This situation 
would negatively impact aviation safety, increase public risk, and 
ultimately degrade readiness for U.S. and allied military customers. 
Transair Express therefore seeks an exemption from certain requirements 
of 14 CFR part 60 to enable the continuing qualification of the SD3-60 
flight simulator and an extension of the time period allowed to 
requalify the simulator to March 31, 2023. The grant of this exemption 
will allow Transair Express and other SD3-60 operators to continue to 
provide training for their flight crews and provide access to training 
to other FAA-certified Shorts SD3-60 operators.
