    Description of Relief Sought: AgustaWestland Philadelphia 
Corporation (AWPC) seeks an exemption on behalf of all potential AW609 
operators for exemption from certain prescriptive terms within certain 
sections of 14 CFR. The AW609 is a tiltrotor aircraft manufactured by 
Augusta Westland. Because the AW609 opearates as a helicopter for 
takeoff and landing, and as an airplane for other flight, AWPC asserts 
that potential operators of the AW609, require exemption(s) from those 
sections of 14 CFR that reference ``airplane,'' ``airplanes,'' 
``rotorcraft,'' ``rotor,'' ``fixed-wing,'' ``fixed-wing aircraft,'' 
``copter,'' ``helicopter,'' ``AFM, propeller and airplane/rotorcraft 
flight manuals''. AWPC describes the AW609 as a vertical take-off and 
landing (VTOL) aircraft that is essentially a helicopter from a flight 
characteristics and performance standpoint. AWPC believes that relief 
through the exemption process will enable sales of tiltrotor aircraft, 
which will contribute to the balance-of-trade, the gross domestic 
product and economic health of the United States. AWPC also asserts the 
level of safety is not compromised in comparison to similar helicopter 
operations, and that granting this relief is in the public's interest 
and maintains that an acceptable equivalent level of safety will exist 
by substituting the term tiltrotor or aircraft for helicopter and other 
specific terms that exist in the regulations listed above.
