Legal Status This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily
Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal
Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal
Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the
corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the
daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial
informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable
regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of
establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned
publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that
the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with
the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for
legal research should verify their results against an official edition of
the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML
rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not
provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Petition for Exemption

Docket No.: FAA-2025-4749.

Petitioner: HALO Flight, Inc.

Sections of 14 CFR Affected: §§ 43.3(a), 43.3(g), and 135.443(b)(3).

Description of Relief Sought: HALO Flight, Inc. petitions for an exemption from Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations §§ 43.3(a), 43.3(g), and 135.443(b)(3) that would allow for HALO certificated pilots, who are not mechanics, to be authorized to perform limited maintenance and preventative maintenance procedures on aircraft at remote locations, while away from maintenance personnel. This would allow HALO certificated pilots to replace defective safety wiring or cotter keys, replenish hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic reservoir, replace and service batteries, and remove, check, and replace magnetic chip detectors. This exemption would also authorize HALO pilots, who perform such maintenance, to make required logbook entries.
