Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2012-1349.
    Petitioner: Delta Air Lines, Inc.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 91.9(a).
    Description of Relief Sought: During installation via Supplemental 
Type Certificate (STC) of the on-board Wif'i system on Delta Air Lines' 
737-800 fleet, a placard was placed on the flight deck prohibiting use 
of WiFi devices from the flight deck. As part of a turbulence incident 
mitigation research program, Delta Air Lines seeks relief to allow 40 
Delta B737 Senior Line Check Airmen (LCA) to access a web-based enroute 
turbulence tool using the existing aircraft WiFi connection during the 
operational demonstration period of the research effort anticipated to 
last approximately 1 year, and only during non-critical phases of 
flight. Delta provides analysis demonstrating an equivalent level of 
safety through use of very low-power equipment and operational 
controls.
