Re: Request to amend and allow for Blue-Chip UAS, Inc. the ability to utilize 

additional sUAS platforms under the same direction as provided within exemption 

#11172, docket # FAA-2014-0787-0009, approved February 10, 2015 with one 

exception to the training hour requirement. 

Dear Sir/Madam, 

Dear Sir or Madam; 

Blue-Chip Unmanned Aerial Solutions, Inc. (Blue-Chip UAS) was issued an exemption under 

Section 333 of the "FAA Modernization and Reform act of2012" (the "Reform Act") numbered 11172 

(the Exemption) for the purpose of conducting UAS operations within the oil and gas, agriculture, 

wildlife and aerial photography industries. Blue-Chip UAS, herby requests an amendment to the 

Exemption to allow an additional type of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to be operated in full 

compliance with the conditions set forth within the Exemption with the single exception to the training 

hour requirement as requested here-within. 

Blue-Chip UAS requests the training hour requirement for a PIC rating to be awarded be reduced 

from 50 operational hours to 10 operational hours. 1brough training conducted thus far, Blue-Chip UAS, 

believes that 10 operational training hours is more than sufficient to provide the necessary tools for a 

newly awarded PIC the ability to safely conduct UAS flight operations so long as they have prior RC 

experience and as required, hold a valid private pilot license. 
Additionally, Blue-Chip UAS requests permission to operate the DJI Inspire 1 under the same 

terms and conditions contained within the Exemption, this request and provided by the parameters set 

forth in regards to capabilities and limitations identified within the Flight Operations Manual and 

Maintenance Manual attached hereto. Although the UAS identified within this request is a different 

platform in that it is a multi-rotor airframe vice fixed wing in comparison to the Magpie UAS; the DJI 

Inspire 1 still complies with all requirements set forth in the "Reform Act" in regards to the Secretaries 

authority to allow for UAS operations based on the type (Quad Rotorwing), size (1.5ft x 1.5ft x 1ft), 

weight (6.5lbs), speed (49 mph) and operating capabilities of the aircraft. 

Blue-Chip UAS respectfully requests the same finding from the FAA as provided to Aerial Mob, 

LLC as to their amended exemption numbered 11066A, docket JD FAA-2014-0353, dated February 2, 

2015. As indicated, the FAA found the amendment request was not precedent setting, that good cause 

exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register and that any delay in acting on 

the petition would be detrimental to the organization. 

Thank you for your time in regards to this petition and please direct any correspondence to Mr. 

Clint Stevens.
