Petition For Exemption

Docket No.: FAA-2014-0278.

Petitioner: Ameriflight, LLC.

Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. 135.243(c)(2).

Description of Relief Sought: Ameriflight, LLC seeks relief to allow an incremental reduction of the current 14 CFR 135.243(c)(2) 1,200 hour minimum flight time requirement for pilots in command of aircraft under instrument flight rules (IFR) to 1,000 flight hours provided specific operational restrictions, additional training, checking, Initial Operating Experience, and monitoring requirements are complied with as necessary to ensure an equivalent level of safety. The relief would apply exclusively to pilots in command engaged in Ameriflight, LLC cargo-only operations conducted under 14 CFR part 135 in propeller-powered airplanes which do not require a type rating. Ameriflight previously requested relief from Sec. 135.243(c)(2) under Docket FAA-2012-0964 but withdrew its petition before FAA action in order to provide a new petition, which includes different information on how the petitioner proposes to achieve an equivalent level of safety.
