sUASsOperated by Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography weigh less than 55 pounds,

including the payload (i.e. camera, lens, and gimbal). They operate at

speeds of no more than 50 knots, can hover, and can simultaneously 

# move

vertically and horizontally. Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography will only operate its

sUASs in line of sight and will operate only within the secure area described

in the FOPM. Such operations will insure that the sUAS will"not create a hazard to users of the national

airspace system or the public." Given the small size of Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography's

Page 2 of 10

# sUASs and the restricted secure environment within which they will operate, Ron Greenberg

Videography & Photography's sUAS operations adhere to the Reform Act's safety

requirements. Additionally, due to the size of the sUASs, permission from

relevant property owners or other applicable parties, and the limited areas

in which they will operate, approval ofthis application presents no national

security issues. Based on the substantial level of safety surrounding the

proposed operations, and the significant public benefit (enhanced safety),

reduction in environmental impacts (reduced emissions and noise), the

grant ofthe requested exemption is in the public interest. Accordingly,

Ron Greenberg Videography & 

# Photography respectfully requests that the FAA grant the

requested exemption.

Aircraft And Equivalent Level Of Safety

The operating limitations proposed by Ron Greenberg Videography & 

# Photography provide for

at least an equivalent or higher level of safety because operations further

enhance safety of aerial image collection using conventional aircraft.

The limitations and conditions include:

• The sUASs will weigh less than 55 pounds. Frequently far less.

• Flights will be operated within line of sight of a pilot and/or observer.

• Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be no more than 15

minutes. Flights will be terminated at no less than 25% battery power

reserve should that occur prior to the 15 minute limit.

• Flights will be operated at an altitude below 400 feet AGL, and not

more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is

planned.

• Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUAS Pilot, and a

Page 3 of 10

# Visual Observer.

• A sUAS pilot will be an FAA licensed airman with at least a sport pilot's

certificate, and third class medical or valid US or Canadian drivers

license.

• A sUAS pilot will be Pilot in Command {PIC}.

• The sUAS will only operate within a confined secure area as defined

in the FOPM.

• A briefing will be conducted for planned sUAS operations prior to each

day's flight. All personnel performing duties within the boundaries of

the safety perimeter are required to attend.

• The operator will obtain consent of all persons involved in the filming

and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 500

feet ofthe flight operation.

• The Pilot and observer must be trained in sUAS operations and have

received current information on the particular sUAS to be operated as

required by the FOPM.

• The Observer and pilot will be able to communicate by voice and/or

text at all times.

• Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will

be obtained prior to flight operations.

• All appropriate permissions and permits will be obtained from

territorial, state, county, or city jurisdictions, including local law

enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies.

• If the sUAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the sUAS

will have the capability to return to a pre-determined location within the

Page 4 of 10

# secure perimeter and land.

• The sUAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of

unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a) and (b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations:

Pilot in Command

Sections 61.113 (a) and (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial

operations. Because the sUAS will not carry a pilot or passengers, the

proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level of safety of

current operations by requiring the PIC operating the aircraft to have a

private pilot's license rather than a commercial pilot's license to

operate a sUAS. Unlike a conventional manned aircraft, a sUAS is

remotely controlled by a ground-based operator. The operational area

is controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated

in advance. The level of safety exceeds that provided by a single

individual holding a commercial pilot's certificate operating a

conventional aircraft. The risks associated with the use of a sUAS are

so diminished from the level of risk associated with commercial

operations contemplated by Part 61 allowing sUAS use by a sport pilot

as the PIC exceeds the present level of safety sought by 14 C.F.R.

§61.113 (a) and (b).

14 C.F.R. § 91.103:

Preflight Action

Section 91.103 requires each pilot to preflight an aircraft before flight

to insure the safety of flight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals

will not be used, an exemption is requested. However, an equivalent

Page 5 of 10

# level of safety will be provided. The PIC will take all actions, including

reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff

distances, and aircraft performance data before commencement of

flight.

14 C.F.R. §91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitudes

Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft.

Section 91.119 provides, in pertinent part, that: "except when necessary for

takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following

altitudes:

.....

(c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the

surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those

cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person,

vessel, vehicle, or structure."

Because Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography requests authority to operate at

altitudes no higher than 400 AGL, and not more than 200 above an

elevated platform from which filming is planned, an exemption is needed to

allow such operations. Except for the limited conditions stated in the FOPM,

the sUAS will never operate higher than 400 AGL. It will, however, be

operated in a restricted area within a security perimeter, where buildings

and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre-obtained

consent.

The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and

speed of the sUAS as well as the location where it is operated. No flight will

be taken without the permission of property owners or local officials.

Because of the advance notice to the property owners and participants in

Page 6 of 10

# the filming activity, all affected individuals will be informed of the planned

flight operations. Compared to flight operations for manned aircraft and the

lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with the proposed sUAS

operations is far less than conventional aircraft operating at or below 500

AGL. In addition, the low-altitude operations of the sUAS will ensure

separation between a sUAS and conventional aircraft.

14 C.F.R. §91.121: Altimeter Settings

Section 91.121 requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain

cruising altitude by reference to an altimeter that is set "

... to the elevation of

the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before

departure." As a sUAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but instead a

GPS altitude data, an exemption is needed. An equivalent level of safety

will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the FOPM and Safety Check

list, confirming the altitude ofthe launch site shown on the GPS altitude

indicator before flight.

14 C.F.R. §91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions

Section 91.151(a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an

airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast

weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended

landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly

after that for at least 30 minutes

.... "

The typical battery powering the Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography sUASs provides

less than 25 minutes of powered flight. To meet the 30-minute reserve

requirement in 14 CFR §91.151, sUAS flight would not be possible. Given

the limitations on the sUAS's proposed flight area and its proposed

Page 7 of 10

# operations within a predetermined location, a longer time frame for flight in

daylight VFR conditions is reasonable. Furthermore, operating the sUASs in

a tightly controlled area where only people, property owners, or official

representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed, less than 30

minutes of reserve fuel does not engender the type of risk that §91.151{a)

was intended to address.

Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography believes that safety can be achieved by limiting

flights to 18 minutes or 25% of battery power, whichever occurs first. This

restriction would be more than adequate to return the sUAS to its predetermined

landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area.

14 C.F.R. §91.405 {a); 407 {a) {1); 409 {a) {2); 417{a) 

# & {b): Maintenance

Inspections

These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner shall "have that

aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between

required inspections, except as provided in paragraph {c) of this section,

have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter

... /' and

others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43.

Given that these sections and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an

airworthiness certificate, these sections will not apply to Ron Greenberg

Videography 

# & Photography. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator.

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the sUASs are

limited in size, will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted

areas for limited periods oftime. If mechanical issues arise, the sUAS can

land immediately and will be operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL.

As provided in the FOPM, the operator will ensure that the sUAS is in

Page 8 of 10

# working order prior to flight, perform any required maintenance, and keep a

log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person

most familiar with the sUAS and best suited to maintain it in an airworthy

condition.

Summary for Publication

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for

publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication

is needed:

Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photography seeks an exemption from the following rules:

14 C.F.R. §§ 

# 61.113(a) and (b); 91.103; 91.119(c); 91.121; 91.151(a);

91.405(a); 91.407(a}(1}; 91.409(a}(2}; and 91.417(a) and (b) to operate

commercially a small unmanned vehicle (55 pounds or less) in commercial

image acquisition operations.

As established by the sUAS exemptions already granted by the FAA,

allowing commercial operations of sUASs in agriculture, real estate,

inspection, S 

# & R, and film industries will enhance safety by reducing risk.

Conventional survey, agricultural, mapping, inspection, and film operations,

using turbine aircraft, operate at low altitudes and present the risks

associated with aircraft that weigh around 4,000 pounds, and which carry

large amounts of Jet A fuel. Such aircraft must also fly to and from the

target location. In contrast, a sUAS weighing fewer than 55 pounds and

powered by batteries eliminates virtually all of that risk given the small size

and lack of combustible fuel. The sUAS is carried, and not flown, to target

site. In this regard, the sUAS carries no passengers or crew and, therefore,

will not expose them to the risks associated with manned flights.

Page 9 of 10

# The operation of sUASs conducted in the strict conditions outlined in the

FOPM will provide an equivalent level of safety supporting the grant of the

exemption requested herein. The sUASs operate at slow speeds, close to

the ground, and in a secure environment. As a result, they are far safer than

conventional operations conducted with turbine helicopters flying near the

ground and people.

Privacy

All flights will occur over private or controlled access areas with the property

owner's prior consent and knowledge. Recognizable images will only be

recorded of people who have given their consent or otherwise have agreed

to be in the area where active image acquisition will take place.

Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012

(size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and

populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national

security) provide more than adequate justification to grant Ron Greenberg Videography 

# &

Photography's requested exemption, allowing for Ron Greenberg Videography 

# & Photographys'sUAS

commercial operations for the listed industries pursuant to the included FOPM.

WARNING: Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are significantly more

volatile than alkaline, NiCd or NiMH batteries. All instructions and

warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/or

serious injury as the mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire. By

handling, charging or using the included LiPo battery you assume all risks

associated with LiPo batteries. If you do not agree with these conditions

please return the complete product in new, unused condition to the place

of purchase immediately.

• You must always charge the LiPo battery in a safe, well-ventilated area

away from flammable materials.

• Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging

the battery you must always remain in constant observation to monitor the

charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may

occur.

• After flying/discharging the LiPo battery you must allow it to cool to

ambient/room temperature before recharging.

• To charge the LiPo battery you must use only the included charger or a

suitably compatible LiPo battery charger. Failure to do so may result in a

fire causing property damage and/or serious injury.

• If at any time the LiPo battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue

charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect the

battery, then place it in a safe, open area away from flammable materials to

observe it for at least 15 minutes. Continuing to charge or discharge a

battery that has begun to balloon or swell can result in a fire. A battery that

has ballooned or swollen even a small amount must be removed from

service completely.

• Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the battery too low

can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power, flight duration

or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to

below 3.0V each under load.

• Store the LiPo battery at room temperature and in a dry area for best

results. 7 ES

• When charging, transporting or temporarily storing the LiPo battery the

temperature range should be from approximately 40-120° F (5-49° C). Do

not store the battery or aircraft in a hot garage, car or direct sunlight. If

stored in a hot garage or car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.

• Never leave batteries, chargers and power supplies unattended during

use.

• Never attempt to charge low voltage, ballooned/swollen, damaged or wet

batteries.

• Never allow children under 14 years of age to charge batteries.

• Never charge a battery if any of the wire leads have been damaged or

shorted.

• Never attempt to disassemble the battery, charger or power supply.

• Never drop batteries, chargers or power supplies.

• Always inspect the battery, charger and power supply before charging.

• Always ensure correct polarity before connecting batteries, chargers and

power supplies.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging.

• Always terminate all processes if the battery, charger or power supply

malfunctions. IMPORTANT NOTE: It's safer and better for the longevity of the battery to

store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the battery

approximately 50% charged (which is around 3.85V per cell) is typically

best, however, it will take some careful management of the charge time and

the use of a volt meter to achieve this voltage. If you have the equipment

and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If

not, simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever

possible. In fact, as long as the battery will be stored at approximately room

QUICK TIP: Double tap on the screen to increase the size of the video viewing area to full-screen and double tap again to return to the standard size).

WARNING: NEVER attempt to fly the Q500 via First-Person View (FPV). There's a slight 'lag' in the CG02-GB streaming video downlink to the ST10, and

as a result the streaming video/FPV should only be used for aligning camera shots and not for flying! Attempting to fly via FPV can result in a crash that will

cause damage to the product, property and/or cause serious injury.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Streaming video from the CG02-GB to the ST10 and to a separate phone/tablet (or another Yuneec transmitter/personal ground

station) at the same time is NOT recommended as it will result in a very significant lag in the video downlink.

*SMART CIRCLE

In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the QSOO from coming within

approximately 26 feet (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at

least 26 feet/8 meters behind the QSOO.

GEO-FENCE

The geo-fence is a virtual 'barrier' that will keep the QSOO from traveling

farther than 300 feet (91 meters). And although this limit can be adjusted

using the USB interface/programmer and software we strongly recommend

using the default limit at all times.

WARNING: Smart Mode only works when the QSOO has a suitable GPS

signal/lock. If you take off in Smart Mode and the QSOO loses GPS

signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot) Mode automatically. This is why

we strongly recommend learning to fly in Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as

possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS signal/lock and are not able to

properly control the QSOO in Angle (Pilot) Mode the aircraft may crash or

even 'fly away'. IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under

warranty. 15 FLIGHT

When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is the middle position the QSOO

will be in Angle (also known as Pilot) Mode.

**~ ~**  Angle (Pilot) Mode is the mode preferred

by experienced RC/drone pilots because

the QSOO will move in the direction the

control stick is pushed relative to the

front/nose of the aircraft. So if you push

the right-hand stick to the left the QSOO

will bank toward the left side and move to

the left. This means if the front/nose of

the QSOO is pointing away from you it will

move to the left, but if the front/nose is

pointing at you the QSOO will move to the

right.

Additional Angle (Pilot) Mode Features:

POSITION HOLD AND SELF-LEVELING

The QSOO will automatically hold its position (with a suitable GPS

signal/lock) and maintain a level attitude when the right-hand stick is

centered. WARNING: If you do not properly control the QSOO in Angle (Pilot) Mode

the aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Crash damage and 'fly aways' are NOT covered under

warranty.-= FLIGHT CONTROLS -

When the Flight Mode Selection Switch is in the bottom position the QSOO

will be in Home (also known as Return to Home) Mode.

**~ ~** 

+ **LANDING~**

LOCATION 0 PILOT LOCATION

Am. !ftl\\ In Home Mode the the Follow Me

feature will fly back the QSOO in a

straight line in the direction of the

pilots' current location, and

automatically land within 13-26 ft

(4-8m) of the pilot. This can be

very helpful for first-time pilots

who aren't quite ready to land the

13-26 ft

( 4 -sm) QSOO themselves. It can also be

helpful for pilots that lose orientation during flight; simply activate

Home Mode until the QSOO

automatically moves toward the

home position, and once you've

confirmed orientation switch back

to Angle (Pilot) Mode. And if the

QSOO ever loses the link with the

ST10 it will automatically enter Home Mode. When Home Mode is

activated the QSOO will respond as follows: 16 A) When flying higher than 33 feet (10 meters) the QSOO will maintain the

current altitude, fly back to the home point, then descend vertically until it

lands. ---....-- 10m

"

..

B) When flying lower than 33 feet (10 meters) the QSOO will climb to 33

feet (10 meters) while flying back to the home point, then will descend

vertically until it lands. **·~~** 10mCAUTION: You must be certain there are no obstacles in the 'Return to

Home' flight path otherwise the QSOO may come into contact with them

and crash. And while the QSOO is in Home Mode you will have a limited

amount of directional control to help avoid obstacles, however, we strongly

recommend switching to Smart or Angle Mode to avoid the obstacle (then

you can switch back to Home Mode). WARNING: Home Mode only works when the QSOO has a suitable GPS

signal/lock. If the QSOO loses GPS signal/lock it will switch to Angle (Pilot)

Mode automatically. This is why we strongly recommend learning to fly in

Angle (Pilot) Mode as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you lose GPS

signal/lock and are not able to properly control the QSOO in Angle (Pilot)

Mode the aircraft may crash or even 'fly away'.

The ST10 seamlessly integrates control of the CG02-GB so you can easily

take still photos and start/stop video recording using the corresponding

buttons located on top:

TO TAKE A STILL PHOTO

Press the button located near the top

left corner of the ST10. You'll hear an

audible 'shutter' sound from the ST10

and the LED indicator on the front of

the CG02-GB will change from

glowing solid green to glowing solid

blue. It will take approximately 5

seconds to capture the photo and before you can take another still photo.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot take still photos while recording video.

You MUST stop recording video in order to take still photos.

TO START /STOP RECORDING VIDEO

Press the button located near the top

right corner of the ST10. You'll hear an

audible indication from the ST10 each

time the recording starts/stops. And

while video is recording the LED indicator on the front of the CG02-GB will

flash blue and green, and there will be a

red dot next to the time length of the recording near the upper right-hand

corner on the screen of the ST10.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You can choose to record video at 48, 50 (PAL) or 60

(NTSC) frames per second by tapping the corresponding button near the

upper left-hand corner on the screen of the ST10. And keep in mind that

the delay in the live video stream will be lowest at 48 and 50 as compared

to 60 frames per second. 19 The slider located on the left side of the ST10 allows you to set the

pitch/tilt position of the CG02-GB from approximately straight ahead

(when the slider is in the uppermost position) to approximately straight

down (when the slider is in the lowermost position). And you can easily set

a position in between by adjusting the slider accordingly. =· **~**

QUICK TIP: There's an adjustable counterbalance located on the rear of

the CG02-GB. This counterbalance has been adjusted at the factory to

provide the best balance and performance overall so typically it should

NOT need to be adjusted. However, if you find that the CG02-GB is

making any 'buzzing' sounds while powered on, carefully twist the counterbalance in or out until the sound stops in order to achieve the best balance,

performance and photo/video
