Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2011-1220.
    Petitioner: Indigenous Peoples Technology and Education Center, 
Inc. (ITEC).
    Section of 14 CFR Affected:
14 CFR part 21, Sec.  21.191(i)
    Description of Relief Sought: The relief sought would permit an 
additional weight allowance for operation of a powered parachute (PPC), 
experimental light-sport aircraft (ELSA), intended for flight 
operations and operation on public roadways, similar to the weight 
allowance for LSA intended for operation on water. An exemption would 
enable ITEC to issue a statement of compliance (FAA Form 8130-15) for 
each ITEC ``Maverick'' PPC ELSA ``kit'' for operation at the same 
weight prescribed for LSA intended for operation on water. In addition, 
the relief sought would allow any ITEC ``Maverick'' PPC special 
category LSA (SLSA) to be converted to ELSA for operation in accordance 
with Sec.  21.191(i)(3).
