United Airlines Requests Extension of FAA Exemption 6783

United Airlines is requesting the FAA extend Exemption No. 6783, an aviation safety and operational exemption that has been in effect since 2002 under docket FAA-2002-11756. The petition (document FAA-2002-11756-0025) specifically asks for continuation of the exemption terms that allow United to operate under conditions that deviate from standard FAR requirements.\n\nRegulated entities and industry stakeholders should review the petition to understand what conditions or operational flexibilities are being extended. The FAA is likely to seek public comment on the extension request before making a determination. Any party affected by or interested in this exemption should monitor for FAA action and potential comment opportunities.
