Petition for an Exemption from 14 CFR Part 121.434(c)(1)(ii)

Shuttle America Corporation hereby petitions the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 11, for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 121.434(c)(1)(ii), in order to allow Shuttle to substitute a qualified and authorized check airman in place of an FAA inspector to observe a qualifying pilot in command while that PlC is performing prescribed duties during at least one flight leg that includes a takeoff and a landing when completing initial or upgrade training as specified in § 121.424.

Grant of Petition | Word

I hereby grant Shuttle America Corporation an exemption from 14 CFR § 121.434(c)(1)(ii) to the extent necessary to allow Shuttle to substitute a qualified and authorized check airman or aircrew program designee for an FAA inspector to observe a qualifying PIC who is completing initial or upgrade training specified in§ 121.424 during at least one flight leg that includes a takeoff and a landing.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to Shuttle.
