Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2015-0226.
    Petitioner: Mr. Edward Silva.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. Sec.  61.39, 61.153 and 61.156.
    Description of Relief Sought: Mr. Edward John Silva is a Captain in 
the U.S. Air Force flying the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III. Captain 
Silva holds a FAA commercial pilot certificate in the airplane category 
with single-engine and multiengine class ratings and an instrument 
rating and would like to obtain an airline transport pilot (ATP) 
certificate with an airplane category and multiengine class rating. 
After July 31, 2014, all applicants for the ATP certificate with an 
airplane category and multiengine class rating are required to complete 
the training identified in Sec.  61.156 from an FAA-approved provider 
prior to completing the FAA knowledge and practical tests for this 
certificate. Prior to August 1, 2014, the training requirement did not 
exist, therefore a pilot only needed to complete the knowledge test 
prior to taking the practical test. The previous ATP knowledge test 
results were good for 24 calendar months; therefore, had Captain Silva 
taken the ATP knowledge test prior to August 1, 2014, he could have 
used those results to demonstrate eligibility for the ATP practical 
test for the duration of the validity period. Captain Silva stated he 
intended to complete the ATP knowledge test prior to August 1, 2014, 
but was placed on a short notice deployment and he was unable to 
complete it while overseas. Captain Silva seeks relief from the 
requirement to complete the airline transport pilot certification 
training program required by Sec. Sec.  61.39, 61.153, and 61.156 prior 
to taking the practical test based on his military experience and 
deployment.
