Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2019-0658.
    Petitioner: Hageland Aviation Services dba RavnAir Connect.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Section 135.297(b).
    Description of Relief Sought: RavnAir Connect wishes to receive an 
exemption from section 135.297, subparagraph b, to allow the 
substitution of an Area Navigation (RNAV) approach with Localizer 
Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) minima for the precision 
approach procedure required by the rule. RavnAir Connect requests this 
exemption due to the limited availability of Instrument Landing System 
(ILS) precision approach procedures in rural Alaska and the equivalent 
level of safety provided by RNAV approaches with LPV minima. The 
petitioner contends that this exemption would be in the interest of the 
public by maintaining qualified pilots and therefore maintaining 
essential air transportation for basic necessities to rural 
communities.
