Petitions for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2002-11986.
    Petitioner: Experimental Aircraft Association.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR Sec.  61.113(a).
    Description of Relief Sought: EAA currently holds Exemption No. 
7830 that allows volunteer pilots flying EAA Young Eagles to ``log 
flight time'', a form of compensation , when flying children during 
these free flight experiences. The exemption also allows volunteer 
pilots to receive other types of compensation. This amendment would 
permit the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to include the use 
of light-sport aircraft with a special light-sport certificate under 
this exemption. EAA also requests that an addition is made to the 
current condition and limitation that permits a pilot to hold at least 
a private pilot certificate. They request that the pilot be able to 
hold a recreational pilot, or a sport pilot certificate with the 
appropriate category, class, type-rating, or logbook endorsement, if 
necessary, for the aircraft to be used under this exemption in 
accordance with Sec.  61.31(a), (d), (e), (f), (h), (i), and part 61 
subpart D, E, or J as appropriate. The pilots who conduct the Young 
Eagle flights for EAA under this exemption

[[Page 56216]]

are required to hold a third-class medical certificate in accordance 
with Sec.  61.23(a)(3); however, EAA is requesting that a private 
pilot, recreational pilot, or sport pilot be required to hold a current 
medical certificate appropriate to the pilot certificate held in 
accordance with Sec.  61.23(a)(3)(i), Sec.  61.23(a)(3)(ii), or Sec.  
61.23(c)(1)(ii).
