FAA Approval – Currently averaging about 3-8 months for these types of exemptions to be granted, depending on the specific request(s).
FAA Certification – Determined by several factors, including: 1) The volume & staff resources at your local Flight District Services Office as some FSDOs have wait lists 2) Your ability to respond in a timely fashion, and your preparation & success during in-person, in-field flight / safety / knowledge demonstrations 3) Time to process any Over 55lb aircraft registration, pilot licensing needed, etc.
