Petition For Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2014-1111.
    Petitioner: Chevron Aircraft Operations.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  91.9(a).
    Description of Relief Sought: Chevron Aircraft Operations (Chevron) 
requests relief from Sec.  91.9(a), which states that no person may 
operate a civil aircraft without complying with the operating 
limitations specified in the approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight 
Manual, markings, and placards, or as otherwise prescribed by the 
certificating authority of the country of registry. In a letter dated 
June 24, 2015, Chevron clarified that the specific limitation that it 
seeks to not comply with is the Agusta Westland AW-139 Rotorcraft 
Flight Manual, Supplements 12 and 50. These supplements prescribe, in 
part, a heliport or helideck minimum size limitation of 50 feet by 50 
feet or 50 foot diameter. Chevron wishes to operate the AW139 using 
Category A procedures from a helideck that is smaller than 50 feet by 
50 feet or 50 foot diameter for its offshore operations.
