Petitions for Exemption

Docket No.: 28397
Petitioner: Tulsa Technology Center
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 65.17(a), 65.19(b), and 65.75(a)
Description of Relief Sought: To permit the Tulsa Technology Center 
(TTC) to (1) administer the FAA oral and practical tests to students at 
times and places identified in TTC's operations handbook, (2) allow 
applicants to apply for retesting within 30 days after failure without 
presenting a signed statement certifying that additional instruction 
has been given in the failed area, and (3) administer the Aviation 
Mechanic General written test to students immediately following 
successful completion of the general curriculum, prior to meeting the 
experience requirements of Sec. 65.77.

Docket No.: 28556
Petitioner: Mr. Harry Veltman
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 61.183(c)(2)
Description of Relief Sought: To permit Mr. Veltman to be eligible for 
a flight instructor certificate with an airplane category rating, 
without holding an instrument rating.

Docket No.: 28572
Petitioner: Mr. Mark Quinn
Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 91.107(a)(3) and 121.311(b)
Description of Relief Sought: To allow Mr. Quinn to not be required to 
purchase a passenger seat on a commercial airliner for his daughter, 
Sarah N. Quinn, who was born with Down syndrome and other birth 
defects, even though she has reached her second birthday. Although the 
Federal Aviation Regulations do not regulate whether or not fares are 
imposed by air carriers, an exemption from Secs. 91.107(a)(3) and 
121.311(b), if granted, would permit Sarah to be held by an adult who 
is occupying an approved seat, even though she has reached her second 
birthday.
