INDYKE, PLLC Email Address: May 23, 2016 VIA EMAIL (orivate.aircraft.sunnortaidhs.gov) Private Aircraft Support United States Department of Homeland Security Re: United States Registered Aircraft N212JE owned by JEGE, LLC Clearance and Pre-Arrival Requirements for Private Domestic Flights between the Continental United States and the Territory of United States Virgin Islands Ladies and Gentlemen: By letter dated March 15, 2016, on behalf of JEGE, LLC, we requested direction from Private Aircraft Support of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") to address the markedly different clearance and arrival procedures to which JEGE, LLC has been subject that were imposed by various local U.S. Customs and Border Patrol ("CBP") offices on our private aircraft traveling between airports within the continental United States and St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as between such airports (whether in the continental United States or the U.S. Virgin Islands) and foreign airports. In order to avoid further misunderstandings we asked that Private Aircraft Support provide JEGE, LLC's Chief Pilot, Lawrence Visoski ("Visoski"), with a standing letter from DHS, addressed to the local CBP offices, specifying the exact clearance and arrival requirements, including a description of all required filings and documentation, for private aircraft travel between the continental United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as for private aircraft arriving in the continental United States or the U.S. Virgin Islands from foreign airports. JEGE, LLC wishes to ensure that its Chief Pilot fully complies with all such procedures that may properly be imposed, and the information provided in the requested letter would enable it to do so and at the same time establish definitive, authoritative and uniform guidance that Visoski may present to the local CBP offices to confirm his compliance. As of today's date, we have not received any communication from Private Aircraft Support, although the differences we have described above and in our March 15 letter persist. Please confirm receipt of this letter and advise if you require anything further for a favorable response. Respectfully, Darren K.
