Petitions for Exemption

Docket No.: FAA-2009-0040.

Petitioner: Cirrus Design Corporation.

Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR, part 23, § 23.1419(a).

Description of Relief Sought: To allow the Cirrus Model SR22 to be certified for flight into known icing without meeting the 61 knot stall speed requirement in § 23.1419(a). Cirrus Design Corporation states, in their request for exemption letter, that the increased safety associated with the operational envelope expansion, without a negative impact on aircraft utility, is in the public interest. Cirrus Design Corporation states that the Model SR22 has the compensating factors listed in paragraph 13.a.(c) of Advisory Circular 23.1419-2D, dated April 19, 2007, and, therefore, the level of safety will not be adversely affected by this exemption.
