Disposition of Petitions

    Docket No.: 23290.
    Petitioner: Air Transport Association of America.
    Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 121.311(f) and 121.391(d).
    Description of Relief Sought/Disposition: To permit ATA member 
airlines and other similarly situated part 121 certificate holders to 
locate required flight attendants at the mid-cabin flight attendant 
station during takeoff and landing on B-767 aircraft.

Grant, March 13, 1996, Exemption No. 4298F

    Docket No.: 26847.
    Petitioner: FlightSafety International.
    Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 141.65.
    Description of Relief Sought/Disposition: To permit FlightSafety 
International (FSI) to recommend graduates of its approved 
certification course for airline transport pilot (ATP) certificates and 
associated ratings without taking the FAA written test. Because FSI 
holds an exemption from Sec. 141.65 (Exemption No. 5652, as amended), 
which permits FSI to recommend graduates of its flight instructor 
certification courses for flight instructor certificates with 
associated ratings, without having to take the FAA written or practical 
test, this request is considered an amendment to that exemption.

Grant, March 13, 1996, Exemption No. 5652B

    Docket No.: 27196.
    Petitioner: Tower Air, Inc.
    Sections of the FAR Affected: 14 CFR 121.434(e).
    Description of Relief Sought/Disposition: To amend Exemption No. 
5628, which permits Tower Air, Inc., to use flight attendants, on 
certain flights, who have not completed supevised operating experience 
under part 121. This amendment corrects the inadvertent omission of the 
termination date of the exemption (2 years from the issuance of the 
exemption).

    Docket No.: 27612.
    Petitioner: United AirLines.

Aviation (North America) Inc., (DANA) to use certain qualified 
instructor pilots to train part 121 and part 135 certificate holders' 
pilots in an FAA-approved simulator, or in airplanes manufactured by
