U.S. Department of Transportation Docket Management System 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE Washington, DC 20590

Dear Exemption Manager, We are submitting our Petition for Exemption for Unmanned Aircraft Systems operations. The requested exemption would permit us to pursue commercial interests in providing services to clients using a sUAV in the following areas: • Real Estate • Marketing • Special Events • Live Sporting Events
We state that all sUAS flights will occur over private or controlled access property and will do so with the property owner’s consent and knowledge and that only people who have consented or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where videography will take place.
We are currently seeking exemption of: 14 C.F.R. Part 21 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b) 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) & (b) 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b) (2) 14 C.F.R. 91.109 14 C.F.R. 91.119 14 C.F.R. 91.121 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) & (b) 14 C.F.R. 91.205(b) 14 C.F.R. 91.215 14 C.F.R. 91.401 – 91.417
If we have omitted any other relevant section for our intended operations, please feel free to suggest the missing section(s).Suggested Public Federal Register Summary: “The petitioners are seeking an exemption to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with a maximum weight of less than three pounds to perform Marketing Services, Real Estate and Live Sporting Events. Data gathered may include still images as well as moving images captured with an onboard camera.”
Unmanned Aircraft System sUAVs offer an aerial video gathering platform with a smaller device, reduced noise and cheaper equipment and personnel cost. We are petitioning for an exemption to operate a DJI Phantom 3 Standard with a built-in stabilized HD camera and GPS safety features which limit its ability to limit the height it flies above ground level (AGL), to limit the radius of the distance it flies from the operator and to exclude it from operations within designated Class B, C and D airspace including a no-fly zone feature preventing it from entering a restricted area. The DJI Phantom 3 Standard also has a failsafe function that is triggered in the event communication is lost between the sUAS and the main controller transmitter. At that time, the sUAS will return to its point of takeoff and land safety. If the connection is restored, control of the flight returns to the operator.
These specifications meet with the Model Aircraft Operating Standards as set below:

• The petitioner will only operate its sUAS in line-of-sight and will operate at sites that are a sufficient distance from populated areas within the sterile area as described in the FOPM. Such operations will ensure that the sUAS will “not create a hazard to national airspace system or to the public.”

• When flying the sUAS within five (5) miles of an airport, airport operators will be notified and authorization received before any scheduled flight.

• Maximum flight time for each operation will be 25 minutes.

• Flights will be terminated when battery levels reach 25%, allowing sufficient reserve time to safely land the sUAS.

• The sUAS has a maximum altitude of 400 feet AGL, and not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which videography is planned.

• The sUAS operated by the petitioner weighs less than 25 pounds, including all

• payload (i.e. camera, lens, and stabilized gimbal).

• The sUAS will operate at speeds of no more than 26 knots, can hover, and can

• simultaneously move vertically and horizontally.
We respectively request exemption under Section 333 to enable Geoffrey Scott Maguire & Teena Marie Maguire limited, low-risk commercial sUAS operations for the activities stated and we will at all times respect the space and privacy of citizens, property and maintain airspace safe.
Sincerely,

Geoffrey Scott Maguire & Teena Marie Maguire 11616 N Bedivere Dr Spokane, WA 99218
