September 15 , 2015 U.S. Department of Transportation Docket Management System 1200 New Jersey Ave, SE Washington, DC 20590 Dear Exemption Manager: Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modern ization and Reform Act of 2012 ( th e “Reform Act” or “Section 333”) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Foresight Services Inc. “Foresight Services”, seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Reg ulations (“FARs”) listed below to allow it to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision and DJI Inspire 1 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Foresight Services is a building envelope consulting and estimating company. Foresight Services plans to use the s UAS(s) to aid in property evaluation by using the aircraft for vi sual inspection, aerial imagery and photo and video documentation. Approving this request will serve the public by providing more economic and efficient collection of imagery and information while, at the same time, creating a significantly safer means to collect the data . All UAS(s) operations conducted by Foresight Services will be within the United States.

Requested Exemptions Foresight Services respectfully requests exemptions from the following regulations: 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H ; 14 CFR § 91.9(b)(2); 14 CFR § 91.113; 14 CFR § 61.113(a), (b); 14 CFR § 61.133(a); 14 CF R. § 91.119(c); 14 CFR § 91.121; 14 CFR § 91.151; 14 CFR § 91.203; 14 CFR § 91.405(a) and (b); 14 CFR § 91.407(a)(1); 14 CFR § 91.409(a)(1) - (2); and 14 CFR § 91.417(a) and (b) . (If any other applicable sections are missing feel free to suggest the missing sections) Foresight Services is seeking relief and exemption from listed Federal Aviation Regulations and any other applicable rules in order to allow the use of a Small Unmanned Aircraft System to increase efficiency and safety of its current operation. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar to those presented in this petition. In Exemptions Nos. 12033, 12272, 12453, 12178, 12144 We intend on implement the use of UAS(s) to aid in the evaluation , data collection and inspection of b uildings and property. The safety an d public benefits of using the UAS(s) in these operations are significant. The UAS(s) reduce s the need to operate manned aircra ft in unconventional operations and provide s accurate data in a manner that is more safe, eco nomical and efficient, and with a reduced impact on the environment. Additionally, use of the UAS(s) also allows us to perform safer inspections and photo documentation that would otherwise be accomplished by persons, typically involving the use of ladders and other equipment to access upper levels. Using a UAS(s) in these areas would greatly reduce the potential risk of injury or death from falling. Operations performed by Foresight will be subject to strict operating requirements and conditions to ensure at least an equivalent level of safety to currently authorized operations using manned aircraft and under conditions that may be modified by the FAA as required by Section 333. The Phantom 2 Vision weighs approximately 2.6 pounds (1, 160 grams) and the Inspire 1 weighs approximately 6.5 pounds (2,935 grams). Both models are powered electrically via lithium polymer batteries that drive electric motors . T he Phantom Vision 2 operates at a maximum of 15 m/s and the I nspire 1 at a maximum of 2 2 m/s . The UAS(s) feature automated systems and fail safes and will be operated at low altitudes to promote the safest possible operation away from manned aircraft . The UAS(s) will be operated by exclusively by the pilot- in -command (“ PIC”) who will employ the use of a visual observer at all times . The PIC will be directly responsible for safe operation of the UAS(s) including maintaining a visual line of sight, operating within the manufacturer’s recommended limits, and other operating limitations. The vis ual observer will be responsible for providing additional information regarding the flight such as potential hazards, other aircraft, and providing the PIC with any additional information to maintain a safe operation of the UAS(s) . The PIC will be a certified airman who holds either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational or sport pilot certificate. The PIC will also have a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state or federal government.Page | **3**

The exemption will not adversely affect safety due to the procedures put in place by Foresight Services . The general public would be safer than it is currently by eliminating the risks previously stated.

1. A visual observer in addition to the Pilot- in - Comman d (PIC) will be mandatory at all times and will maintain a visual line of sight for the duration of the flight . 2. Communication will be established between the visual observer and PIC at all times. 3. The UAS(s) will never be flown near manned aircrafts. 4. A consent form will be required to be signed by the property ow ner during inspections and all non - participants will restricted during operations by a set perimeter with appropriate warnings. 5. During a ll operations the UAS(s) will maintain an altitude below 400 feet AGL at all times. 6 . The UAS(s) will never carry any dangerous materials or flammable liquids. 7 . The UAS(s) has integrated GPS system that p rovides location information, height AGL, speed, battery life to ensure the awareness of the UAS(s) ’ status and location. 8 . The PIC will have access the manufacturer operation manual and be available upon request. The PIC and UAS(s) flight will abide all pre -flight checks and suggested flight protocols. 9 . A log will be kept of all flights and location s. 10 . A take -off and landing zones will be designated before the beginn ing of the flight. 11 . Operations will not occur under IFR conditions. Using the previously mentioned procedures along with the UAS(s)’ safety features will promote safe data gathering equal to, if not safer, than the current rules set in place. Offering UAS(s) services provides a significantly more economic, environmentally friendly and safer means of gathering information as compared to manned aircraft operations. With the previously l isted benefits of implementing UAS(s) operations foresight Services respectfully requests from the exemption from the mentioned regulations. Any additional information will be given upon request.
