Petition for Exemption

Docket No.: FAA-2023-2469.

Petitioner: Hawaiian Airlines.

Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: § 121.374(d).

Description of Relief Sought: Hawaiian Airlines requests exemption from § 121.374(d) to enable its fleet of Airbus A321, A330, and Boeing 787 aircraft to be operated, following a maintenance action on an extended operations (ETOPS) significant system, using an in-flight verification process after the ETOPS entry point is reached. The petitioner intends to have the auxiliary power units (APU) on these aircraft running during the first 120 minutes of flight, up to and including the ETOPS entry point. The petitioner will shut down the APU two hours prior to the initiation of descent and then initiate the APU in flight before the top of descent to validate APU start-up.
