Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2013-0437.
    Petitioner: Quiet Wing Aerospace, LLC.
    Section of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  25.981(b).

from the requirements of 14 CFR 25.981(b) that pertain to appendix N 
of part 25 to allow an alternate method of determining fuel tank 
flammability for Boeing 737-400 airplanes. The exemption requested

flammability instead of fuel temperature alone in the determination 
of fuel tank flammability.
