Default Help with FAA glider exemption petiton



Hi John,

I believe my exemption petition qualifies as 'almost arguing' that very point with FAA.

We could almost argue that since it is a glider, it is not a "turbojet-

powered aircraft." An engine in a glider is used as a launch method,

not "power," as if it had the latter it would be an "airplane"



Maybe too clever......The jet sustainers certainly hinge on the

outcome here
