Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2015-0469.
    Petitioner: The Boeing Company.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  25.345(c).
    Description of Relief Sought: The United States Air Force requires 
that the KC-46A be capable of refueling all aircraft that may currently 
be refueling using KC-135 and/or KC-10A tankers. Some of these receiver 
aircraft refuel at low speeds that would require prolonged flight with 
high lift devices

[[Page 39831]]

deployed during aerial refueling operations. Application of 14 CFR 
25.345(c) would drive increased maneuver and gust loads resulting in 
impractical redesign of the wing structure. The airplane design 
provides adequate structural capability for aerial operations with high 
lift devices deployed due to the limited maneuvering and the low 
frequency of occurrence. The petitioner requests an exemption from 14 
CFR 25.345(c).
