Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2018-0968.
    Petitioner: Department of the Air Force.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  61.23(b)(9)(i).
    Description of Relief Sought: The petitioner seeks an exemption 
from Sec.  61.23(b)(9)(i) to allow international military students 
conducting flight training sponsored by the Department of Defense (DoD) 
to use their DoD Initial Flying Class I flight physical in lieu of an 
FAA Class III flight physical, which is typically allowed only for U.S. 
Armed Forces. The petitioner notes that the Air Force Security 
Assistance Training Squadron seeks this relief in order to coordinate 
International Military Students' (IMS) attendance in training in 
civilian aircraft in the United States. IMS trainees receive the same 
DoD Class 1 flight physical as U.S. Armed Forces pilots.
