In Brief
What It Addresses
This InFO provides information on exemptions from § 25.813(e) and summarizes the associated conditions and limitations.
Why It Matters
Recently, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) became aware that some airplanes added to operator’s operations specifications have had exemptions containing certain conditions overlooked by the operator.
Recommended Action
Directors of operations/maintenance and chief pilots should review their fleets’ aircraft records for exemptions related to § 25.813(e). If exemptions are noted, the operator should review the conditions and limitations section for information that may preclude operating the aircraft for hire or offering it for common carriage.

Recommended Action: Directors of operations/maintenance and chief pilots should review their fleets’ aircraft records for exemptions related to § 25.813(e).
