Certif icate of Waiver or Authorization requested:

Xologies Incorporated is a technology company specializing in industrial applications. We provide ongoing maintenan ce and future development service to keep mining and energy companies up to date for today's demanding environments. In addition to plant wide statistical analysis and real plant floor data logging , we have implemented stockpile management and site inspec tion to our line of business. With an R/C background, the UA S provided an opportunity to blend hobby with work and the industry is asking for more cost effective ways to provide this information

. In the past we have worked with the industry to monitor and provide accurate counts of raw product to finished product. This is something that coal and aggregate companies need to better provide the ever more demanding market. W e have researched many mod els and operation standards. Our current use of UA S (DJI Phantom II Vision Plus) has been very successful as the DJI UAS provides built in safety features that prove to be superior to most other tested UAS . Stockpile management is the main focus at this time, but many cus tomers have requested a visual check of the outsides of structures around the plant. And geographical and topographical imaging. With the high resolution camera and imaging software, Xologies Incorporated is able to provide 3d imaging wi th elevations and distances of most areas. The applications for the use of a UAS in the industries we currently work seems limitless. The stockpile management is more of an autonomous flight pattern that is predefined based on the area of interest. All of the additional flights on these industrial sites would be to record video/images of any irregularities in building construction that may require maintenance. This includes but is not limited to silo inspection, belt line inspection, pipeline inspection, pond inspection, refuse inspection, stockpile management, building inspection. These images would then be provided to maintenance and management with highlighted areas of concern. Currently all operations fall under 200’ and Xologies Incorporated only u ses tested UAS designs from known manufactures with a track record of safe operations. All UAS are under the 55lb limit and daytime line of sight is always maintained. Since our operational use is business, we do not fly the UAS from dusk to dawn. All locations are pre

- checked for safe operational distances from any and all NAS associated locations. Please see existing procedure for flight operation listed below. Thank you for consideration in this matter and I hope to hear back soon so operations ca n move forward.

- 3788 MD,WV,PA,KY WV05192The normal operations consists of the following:

• Verify all local regulations for daily flight plan location.

o Predefined autonomous flight path and location

 Define size of imagery. (200m X 150m) average.

 Define number of images captured.

 Define flight height. (50m)

• Verify there is no adverse weather.

• Clear area of people and animals.

• Walk pre

- defined flight path to identify any obstructions and their location.

o Redefine autonomous flight path if required.

• Visual check of UAS batteries for full charge and signs of battery damage.

• Visual inspection of propeller, gimbal, camera, and remote controller.

• Verify SD card is available for current images required.

• Verify all devices have full charge and is functioning as expected.

• Turn on all devices and connect WiFi for in flight video.

• Calibrate UAS compass prior to any flight.

o This is performed with a range of 360 degree motions.

o The UAS will fla sh its LED indicators to display successful calibration.

• Set the UAS on flat predefined surface with at least 15’ open radius to compensate for “return to home” GPS accuracy with the camera facing away from operator.

• Verify communication with UAS and that the UAS has acquired GPS location from at least 6 satellites. The UAS will record the “Home” position and the LED indicators will flash to let operator know “Home” has been set.

• Start the UAS propellers to inspect for any imbalance or irregular operation.

• Slowly lift UAS 10

- 15’ in air and inspect UAS for stability.

o Verify all controller operation for heading and altitude.

o If required by flight path walk through, verify any noted obstructions that may interfere with the UAS . At a controlled low altitude fl y within range of any interference and recheck all controls and stability.

o Disconti nue flight if any of the above fail s to meet safe operation guidelines.

• Land UAS and prepare for autonomous mode.

• Initiate pre

- defined autonomous flight path

. o After UAS has found its autonomous heading and starts towards point 1, switch from autonomous to manual on the controller and verify control of the UAS

. o Cancel operation if manual control is unresponsive.

o Continue autonomous flight path if UAS responds in manual mode.

• K eeping line of sight with UAS at all times and being prepared to manually override the autonomous mode will ensure a safe and beneficial flight for all involved.

• If autonomous mode is completed the UAS will return Home. At this time, switch the UAS to man ual mode and safely land the UAS at the home location.

• Download images and inspect UAS for any signs of damage. Verify battery life and recharge all batteries. Perform pre

- flight after every power down/up.
