Preparing your petition


On an FAA supplemental guidance notice, the agency provides a link to Astraeus Aerial’s Grant of Exemption as an example of a successful petition. Here you can look at the     for exemptions on and how the company addressed each.

Submitting your petition


The FAA recommends petitions be submitted through the Internet at www.regulations.gov, the Federal Docket Management System, at least 120 days before the exemption is required.


Fill out all the required information and any optional information. In the comment section, write something to the effect of: “This is a new petition for exemption. Please see Uploaded
