Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2013-0571.
    Petitioner: Ameriflight.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR 91.225(a), (b), and (d).
    Description of Relief Sought:
    Ameriflight requests relief to obtain a 4 year delay to the 
requirements in 14 CFR Sec.  91.225(a), (b), and (d), Automatic 
Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) Out, on all aircraft in its 
fleet. Specifically, the regulation requires specific operators to be 
equipped with Extended Squitter (ES) ADS-B and Traffic information 
Service-Broadcast (TIS-B) operating on the frequency of 1090 Megahertz 
(MHz) and Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) ADS-B equipment operating 
on the frequency of 978 MHz by January 1, 2020. The petitioner states 
the requirement will create an undue burden on its maintenance 
department, and exceed its capability to remove aircraft from service 
for the required installation.
