10.6 Parachute, Museum, and Airplane Leasing/Manufacturer Operations Deviations.
10.6.1 Application. The operator must apply in writing to the local FSDO or CHDO (in accordance with § 125.3) stating that they are engaged in, or planning to engage in, either parachute, museum, or airplane leasing/manufacturer operations, and are requesting authorization for a LODA. To qualify for a museum LODA, the museum must be established for the purpose of exhibiting and operating historic aircraft and hold a determination from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that it is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt, charitable organization or be approved by the General Aviation and Commercial Division (AFS-800).
10.6.2 Verification and Issuing the LODA. The principal operations inspector (POI)/FSDO will verify that the operator is engaged in or is planning to engage in the operation from which they are seeking LODA relief. The POI/FSDO will verify that the operator can comply and is willing to comply with the conditions and limitations listed in the LODA. After verification, the FSDO should submit a written request to AFS-800 for authorization to issue the LODA sought. Upon receipt of the FSDO’s request, AFS-800 will complete the standard LODA memorandum and issue it to the FSDO. Upon receipt of the memorandum, the FSDO will comply with the instructions of the standard memorandum and issue the standard LODA to the operator.
Note: Each operator holding a LODA issued under part 125 must carry a true copy in each of the airplanes that are applicable to the issued LODA.
