Petition For Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2014-0278.
    Petitioner: Ameriflight, LLC.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec.  135.243(c)(2).
    Description of Relief Sought: Ameriflight, LLC seeks relief to 
allow an incremental reduction of the current 14 CFR 135.243(c)(2) 
1,200 hour minimum flight time requirement for pilots in command of 
aircraft under instrument flight rules (IFR) to 1,000 flight hours 
provided specific operational restrictions, additional training, 
checking, Initial Operating Experience, and monitoring requirements are 
complied with as necessary to ensure an equivalent level of safety. The 
relief would apply exclusively to pilots in command engaged in 
Ameriflight, LLC cargo-only operations conducted under 14 CFR part 135 
in propeller-powered airplanes which do not require a type rating. 
Ameriflight previously requested relief from Sec.  135.243(c)(2) under 
Docket FAA-2012-0964 but withdrew its petition before FAA action in 
order to provide a new petition, which includes different information 
on how the petitioner proposes to achieve an equivalent level of 
safety.
