Exemptions

Authorized users manage exemption assignments to a specific operator.  If an operator is affected by a regulation in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR), they may petition for an exemption from any rule issued by FAA under its statutory authority.

When manipulating operator exemptions, the user will see two lists: the Available Exemptions list and the Assigned Exemptions list.  If there are no Assigned Exemptions, the user must select an exemption from Available Exemptions before being able to find and modify it under Assigned Exemptions.  To assign an exemption to an operator, select it from the Available Exemptions list and click the down arrow () between the lists to move it to the Assigned Exemptions list.

On the Operator - Exemptions screen, there is no difference between searching and filtering. There are three different ways to initiate the same searching/filtering operation:

1. Use the controls and fields at the top of the screen, in the rectangle containing the Search button. The click Search.

2. Type text in the filtering row (first row) of the appropriate exemption list. Then click outside the field where you typed. (For more information on how to use filters, see Using the Search Filter.)

3. Use a combination of search fields and filters. Note: If you have typed text in both Description fields (in the Search rectangle and in the filtering row), the text in the filtering row is used, and the text in the Search rectangle is ignored.
