# Certificate of Waiver of Authorization (COA) of UAS for Real Estate Brokerage application. My name is Ronald W. Duff. I am currently a licensed Real Estate Broker in the State of Illinois #471.001747. I have been licensed since 1986 and am very active in my field. I am requesting legal consent to operate a unm anned aircraft system (UAS) to c o n duct aerial videography and cinematography to enhance academic community awareness for those individuals and companies unfamiliar with the geographical layout of the Springfield area and surrounding Counties and augment real estate listing videos of resid ential, commercial, farms and land. Photography is an essential requirement to effective marketing of real estate today. Aerial photography through the use of UAS such as the Phantom 2 Vision + have enabled online buyers and investors to view prospective properties in ways that truly affect the buying/selling decisions and enhance market time and values. I currently operate a Phantom 2 Vision+ quad

- copter unmanned aircraft system. Equipped with a camera capable of still imaging and video cinematography. My unit is equipped with satellite navigation, craft war ning and flight lighting as well as propeller safety guards. I utilize b attery propulsion and this unit is equipped with smart phone navigation technology. Including altitude, speed, battery life an d auto land and or “Return Home” features in the event of low power or range breach. I monitor visual line of site at all times. I don’t exceed 200 feet from ground height for imaging and have in excess of 20 hours of flight time.

I have included the operational and safety manual which insures the safety of the public during operation and perform pre

-flight craft condition and operation inspections prior to every flight. I request relief from FAA flight restrictions which prohibit use of UAS in my Re al Estate business as described above.©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

-4.5V), shou ld replace the batteries immediately. BBBB Low voltage (lower than 3.9V). The remote controller will automatically power off. Batteries should be replaced immediately. B

- B

- B...... The remote controller will display a blinking green light and sound an alarm after 15 minutes without operator input. The alarm status will disappear once you start operation of the remote controller. The remote controller will blink the LED and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 3.9V and automatically power off after 3 s econds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the remote controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during flight, the remote controller will automatically power off causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode, which cannot be interrupted (refer to the Failsafe Function (Page 32) for details). It is strongly recommended to replace batteries if the 3.9V

-4.5V low voltage warning occurs. ©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 10 | 3.4 Antenna Orientation Try to keep the antenna pointing skyward, perpen dicular to the ground, in order to achieve the maximum communication range during flight. 

### 3.5 Remote Controller Operation 

### Definitions The ‘stick neutral’ positions and ‘stick released’ mean the control sticks of the remote controller are placed at the cent ral position. To ‘move the stick’ means that the stick of remote controller is pushed away from the central position. Remote Controller (Mode 2) Aircraft ( nose direction ) Operation details The throttle stick controls aircraft altitude/elevation. Push the stick up and the aircraft will rise. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will descend. The aircraft will automatically hover and hold its height if the sticks are centered. Push the throttle stick above the centered (mid

- point) position to make the aircraft take

- off. When flying, we suggest that you push the throttle stick slowly to prevent the aircraft from sudden and unexpected elevation changes.

**OFF CAM ON WIFI ON MICRO SD**  The remote controller’s antenna should be pointing skyward with no obstacles in the way. Otherwise, the Failsafe function may initialize prematurely during flight.The Mobile Device and Range Extender should

not block the antenna. ©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 11 | The yaw stick controls the aircraft ru dder. Push the stick left and the aircraft will rotate counter clock

-wise. Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate clock

-wise. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will remain facing the same direction. The yaw stick controls the rotating angul ar velocity of the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity. The pitch stick controls the aircraft’s front & back tilt. Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly forward. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered. Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35 ̊) and faster flight velocity. The roll stick controls the aircraft’s left & right tilt. Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fly left. Push the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fly right. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered. Pushing th e stick further away from center will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35 ̊) and faster flight velocity. Position

# 10 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to perform the Compass Calibration procedures pri or to the first flight. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which causes abnormal compass data and leads to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at its optimal level. 

### 10.1 Calibration Warnings (1) (2) (3) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. Compass Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will not work properly. 

### 10.2 Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the fol lowing procedures. Please watch the quick start video of the PHANTOM 2 VISION for more compass calibration details.

# 11 Flight 11.1 Flying Environment Requirements (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practice flying, gettin g instruction from an experienced person, etc.). DO NOT fly in bad weather, such as rain or wind (more than moderate breeze) or fog. The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obstacles; the steel structure within buildings may interfere with the compass. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, crowds, power lines, trees, lakes and rivers etc. Try to avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. (No base stations or cell towers around) The flight cont rol system will not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. All parts must be kept out of the reach of children to avoid CHOKING HAZARDS; if a child has accidentally swallowed any part, you should seek immediate medical assistance. 

### 11.2 Starting/Sto pping the Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the throttle stick up. This is a safety precaution to prevent the motors from accidentally spinning up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners as ind icated in the diagram below to start the motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. The same combination stick command (CSC) is used to stop the motors. 

### 11.3 Takeoff/Landing Procedures 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Start by placing the PHANTON 2 VISION on the ground with the battery level indicator facing you. Power on the remote controller. Power on the range extender. Switch the camera to the “WIFI ON” position. Power on the aircraft by turning on the intelligent battery, refer to the Battery Usage (Page 24) for details. Connect the mobile device to the PHANTOM 2 VISION and then run the DJI VISION App to enter the camera preview page. ©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 32 | 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Wait until the LED flight indicator starts to slowly blink green/yellow. This means the aircraft is initializingand entering the “Ready to Fly”/“Ready to Fly (non

- GPS)” state. Then proceed to execute the CSC

command to start motors. Push the throttle stick up slowly to lift the aircraft off the ground. Refer to the Remote Controller Operation (Page 10) for more details. Enjoy your flight while capturing and recording with the DJI VISION App. Refer to the Using DJI VISION App (Page 42) for more details. Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. After landing the aircraft on the ground, keep the throttle stick at its lowest position for about 3 to 5 seconds which will automatically stop the motors. You SHOULD NOT execute the CSC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to descend rapidly and drop without any type of control. (1) (2) (3) (4) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into Failsafe mode, refer to the Failsafe Function (Page 32) for details. A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Refer to t he Low Battery Level Warning Function (Page 34) for details. Watch the quick start video about flight for more flight information. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful whe n flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

### 11.4 Failsafe Function The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control system wil l automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following situations would make the aircraft fail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode: (1) The remote controller is powered off. (2) The aircraft has flown out of the effective communication range of the remote controller. (3) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distance the signal can travel. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the remote controller. Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non

- GPS) mode. Ready to Fly (non

- GPS)

---- Automatic landing The flight control system will try to keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. Note that the aircraft may be drifting during descent and landing process. ©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 

### 33 | Ready to Fly

---- Automatic go home and land The flight control system will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land. 

### Home Point When the aircraft is initializing the Ready to Fly status, the aircraft will record the current GPS coordinates as the home point. It is recommended to lift off only after Ready to Fly status is confirmed for the safety of being able to fly back to home point successfully in case the Failsafe mode is initiated. 

### Dynamic Home Point The Home point will be reset to positio n of the mobile device at specific time intervals. (1) Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. (2) Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS

- enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to obtainhigher accuracy of the mobile device position.

(2) When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft’s position and altitude if the remote controller signal is recovered. (3) Aircraft cannot navigate around vertical obstacles on its return home course during Failsafe. However, you can set return home altitude value in Phantom Assistant to avoid hitting vertical obstacles through DJI Phantom Assistant. In Phantom 2 Vision mode, users can set a new home point manually when the aircraft is in “Ready to fly” status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote controlle r from upper most to lower most positions 5 times or more will reset the current aircraft position as a new home point of PHANTOM 2 VISION. When successfully reset, you will see a series of rapid green blinks on the LED Flight Indicator. The definition of “home point” is: i) The home point is the ©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

# 14 Troubleshooting (FA**Q)** 14.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid

- point error? If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid

- point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the C ombination Stick Commands (CSC) and the aircraft will not take off. Below are possible situations where the Remote Controller’s stick(s) mid

- point margins of error could be too big: (1) One of the Remote Controller’s stick position (except the throttle sti ck) is not centered when powering on the PHANTOM 2 VISION. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid

- point positions and then power cycle the PHANTOM 2 VISION to re

- record the mid

- point. If the problem persists, this can be caused by scenario (2).(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed which leads to a large deviation of the mid

- point position.

Solution: Use the Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. To do so, carry out the following procedures. (a) Connect to the Assistant, tap Basic

- > RC

- > Command Sticks Calibration, and push all Remote Controller sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outer most position. (b) Power cycle the PHANTOM 2 VISION. Note that a power cycle is required. (c) Redo the Remote Controller calibration according to the Assistant. If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to DJI Customer service for repair. 

### 14.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or place the Micro

- SD card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for the video file to be restored. 

### 14.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to “WIFI ON”.
