Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2018-0095.
    Petitioner: Textron Aviation Inc.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  25.981(b).
    Description of Relief Sought: Petitioner is seeking relief from 14 
CFR 25.981(b), which states no fuel tank fleet average flammability 
exposure on an airplane may exceed three percent of the flammability 
exposure evaluation time (FEET) as defined in appendix N to part 25, or 
that of a fuel tank within the wing of the airplane model being 
evaluated, whichever is greater. If the wing is not a conventional 
unheated aluminum wing, the analysis must be based on an assumed 
equivalent conventional unheated aluminum wing tank. Specifically, 
petitioner requests relief for the center portion of the wing fuel tank 
that is covered by an aerodynamic fairing on the Textron Aviation Model 
700 airplane.
