Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2006-25049.
    Petitioner: American Airlines, Inc.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 121.619.
    Description of Relief Sought: To amend American Airlines, Inc. 
(American), current Exemption No. 9570, which grants relief to 
American; American certificated dispatchers; and American pilots in 
command from 14 CFR 121.619 to the extent necessary to dispatch 
aircraft to domestic airports without designating an alternate for the 
destination airport where for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after 
the estimated time of arrival at the destination airport the 
appropriate weather reports or forecasts, or any combination of them, 
indicate the ceiling will be at least 1,000 feet above the airport 
elevation and visibility will be at least 3 statute miles, subject to 
certain conditions and limitations. Condition No. 3 of that exemption 
states, Operations under this exemption are limited to only those 
airports at which an operable Category I Instrument Landing System (CAT 
I ILS) procedure with published minimums of 200 feet and runway visual 
range (RVR) 2,000 or lower is available for use if needed. The 
amendment American seeks would revise Condition No. 3 to limit 
operations under this exemption to airports at which an operable CAT I 
ILS procedure with published minimums of 300 feet and RVR of 4,000 feet 
or lower is available. Additionally, American seeks to amend Condition 
No. 4. This condition, states, in pertinent part, that the dispatch 
release will contain a statement for each flight dispatched under this 
exemption of ``ALTERNATE WEATHER EXEMPTION APPLIED. REFERENCE [insert 
name of appropriate document].'' American wishes to revise the 
statement to read ``ALTN WX EXEMPTION APPLIED.''
