Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2024-1738.
    Petitioner: Jonathan Ross.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  61.23(a)(3)(iv).
    Description of Relief Sought: The petitioner seeks an exemption 
from Sec.  61.23(a)(3)(iv) of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, 
which requires a person to hold a third-class medical certificate when 
performing the duties as an Examiner in an aircraft when administering 
a practical test or proficiency check for an airman certificate, 
rating, or authorization. The petitioner seeks instead to meet the 
requirements of 14 CFR part 68, commonly referred to as ``BasicMed''

[[Page 59800]]

while conducting operations as a pilot examiner. Section 815 of the FAA 
Reauthorization Act of 2024 (Pub. L. 118-63) allows an examiner to 
administer a practical test or proficiency check if such examiner meets 
the medical qualification requirements under 14 CFR part 68 if the 
operation being conducted is in a covered aircraft, as such term is 
defined in Sec.  2307(j) of the FAA Extension, Safety, and Security Act 
of 2016 (Pub. L. 114-190). Section 815 directs the FAA to issue a final 
rule to implement the provisions of Sec.  815 not later than three 
years after the date of enactment of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 
2024. The petitioner seeks to use the allowances in Sec.  815 prior to 
the FAA issuing such a final rule. Further, the petitioner cited in an 
addendum to the original petition the June 18, 2024, Removal of Check 
Pilot Medical Certificate Requirement final rule (89 FR 51415) as 
further justification for grant of this petition.
