operate the SeaRey amphibian airplane under the Experimental Light 
Sport Aircraft (ELSA) category. This exemption would be necessary to 
operate the airplane's retractable landing gear. The petitioner also 
wants to exercise the privilege of the exemption outside the United

most of them have reciprocity with the FAA.
