Section of 14 CFR Affected: 121.436(a)(3).

Description of Relief Sought: USA Jet Airlines seeks relief to allow the flight time gained as a Dassault Falcon 20 (DA-20) pilot in command (PIC) operating under § 135.4(a)(1)(2)(i)(ii) and trained and checked under part 121 to count toward the 1,000 hours of flight experience required by § 121.436(a)(3) to serve as PIC in part 121 air carrier operations.
