Exemption No. 11565 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

–2015

–0411

Mr. Gregory Dirk Sichel 3900 County Line Road Suite 4A Tequesta, FL 33469 DearMr. Sichel: This letteris to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. By letter datedFebruary 12, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an exemption

. The exemption would allow the petitioner to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial photography for the education of real estate professionals and real estate marketing purposes. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing the proposed operations and theregulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in theFederal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. Airworthiness Certification The UAS proposed by the petitioner is aDJI Inspire 1

. 

## Thepetitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates. In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

−95 in reference to 49 U

.S

.C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the

## 2 aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA findsthat the requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary. The Basis for Our Decision You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection

. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA

−2014

−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

• They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213; • The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and
• A grant of exemption is in the public interest. Our Decision In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore,pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator,Mr. Gregory Dirk Sichel is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below. Conditions and Limitations In this grant of exemption,Mr. Gregory Dirk Sichel is hereafter referred to as the operator. Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

## 3 1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI Inspire 1 when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption

. 2. Operations for the purpose ofclosed

-set motion picture and television filming are notpermitted. 3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL. 5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver’s license. 6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times; electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO. 7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this grant of exemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then

## 4 the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. 10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre

-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre

-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. 11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. 12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer safetybulletins. 13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. 14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experience

-building) and determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However,

## 5 training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119. 15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with anARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA

-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA must return to a pre-determined location within the private or controlled

-access property. 19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater. 21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO

-issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA

. 22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part47, andhave identification (N−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable. 23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating.

## 6 These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard

. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating persons under this exemption. 27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled

-access property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 28. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

. If this exemptionpermits operations for the purpose ofclosed

-set motion picture and television filming and production, the following additional conditions and limitations apply. 29. The operator must have a motion picture and television operations manual (MPTOM) as documented in this grant of exemption. 30. At least 3 days before aerial filming, the operator of the UAS affected by this exemption must submit a written Plan of Activities to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming. The 3

-day

## 7 notification may be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of activities must include at least the following:

a. Dates and times for all flights; b. Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under this grant of exemption; c. Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on

-scene operation of the UAS; d. Make, model, and serial or N−Number of UAS to be used; e. Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming; f. A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon request; g. Signature of exemption holder or representative; and h. A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the operation. 31. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming production, as specified in the exemption holder’s MPTOM. Unless otherwise specified in this grant of exemption, the UAS, the UAS PIC, and the UAS operations must comply with all applicable parts of 14 CFR including, but not limited to, parts 45, 47, 61, and 91. This exemption terminates onMay 31, 2017, unless sooner superseded orrescinded. Sincerely,

### The name and address ofthe applicant is: Gregory Dirk Sichel 3900 County Line Road, Suite 4A Tequesta, Florida 33469 Private Pilot FAA 3575382 512-430-2227 dirksichel@gmail.com Regulations from which the exemption is requested: 14 CFR Part 21 14 CFR 45.23 (b) 14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b) 14 CFR 91.7 (a) 14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2) 14 CFR 91.103 14 CFR 91.109 14CFR91.119 14 CFR 91.121 14 CFR 91.151 (a) 14 CFR 91.203 (a) & (b) 14 CFR 91.405 (a) 14 CFR 407 (a) (1) 14 CFR 409 (a) (2) 14 CFR 417 (a) & (b) This exemption application is expressly submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 333 (a) through (c) ofthe Reform Act. This directs the Secretary ofTransportation to considerwhether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system (NAS) before completion ofthe rulemaking required under Section 332 ofthe Reform Act. In making this determination, the Secretary is required to determine which types of UASs do not create a hazard to users ofthe NAS orthe public or pose a threat to national security in light ofthe following:

• The UAS's size, weight, speed, and operational capability:

• Operation ofthe UAS in close proximityto airports and populated areas; and

• Operation ofthe UAS within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) ofthe Pilot and Observers. Reform Act §333 (a). Lastly, ifthe Secretary determines that such vehicles "may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements forthe safe operation ofsuch aircraft in the national airspace system." 

### Id. §333 (c) (emphasis added). The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAAthe authority to issue 

### Page 3 of17 GregoryDirkSichel

### exemptions. This statutory authority by its terms includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is defined under §401 01 ofthe Act; that includes sUASs, from the requirement that all civil aircraft must have a current airworthiness certificate. The Administrator may grant an exemption from a requirement ofa regulation prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) ofthis section or any sections 44702-44716 ofthis title ifthe Administratorfinds the exemption in the public interest. 49 U.S.C. §44704; 14 CFR §91.203 (a) (1). Gregory Dirk Sichel's UAS(s) are small rotorcraft aircraft, the DJI Inspire 1, weighing less than10 lbs. including sensor payload. They operate their rotorcraft, under normal conditions at a speed of no more than 20 knots, usually 3-5 knots, and have the capability to hover, and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. Theywill manually operate only in Visual Line of Sight and will operate only within the operating parameters as described in the Operating Manual attached as Attachment1. Adherence to the Operating Manual will insure that the sUAS will "not create a hazard to the national airspace system orthe public." Given the small size and weight ofthe sUAS involved and the restricted sterile environmentwithin which they will operate, the applicantfalls squarely within that zone ofsafety (an equivalent level ofsafety) in which Congress envisioned that the FAA must, by exemption, allow commercial operations of UASs to commence immediately. Also dueto the size ofthe UASs and the areas in which the relevant sUAS will operate, approval ofthe application presents no national security issue. Given the clear direction in Section 333 ofthe Reform Act, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended; the strong equivalent level ofsafety, surrounding the proposed operations, and significant public benefit, including enhanced safety, reduction in environmental impact, including reduced emissions associated with allowing UASs for educational and marketing operations, (as opposed to full scale aircraft), the granting ofthe requested exemptions is in the public interest. Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests that the FAA grantthe requested exemption without delay. 

### AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY The applicant proposes thatthe exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for at least an equivalent or possibly higher level of safety to operations underthe current regulator structure because the proposed operations represent a safety enhancementto the already safe filming operations conducted with conventional aircraft. These limitations and condition to which Gregory Dirk Sichel agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations under an FAA issued exemption include:

Given the size and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart 

### H meets the requirements ofan equivalent level ofsafety under Part 11 and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C. §44701 (f)) and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act both authorize the FAAto exempt aircraft from the requirement capability, and proximity to airports and populated areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis ofthese criteria demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricted environment and underthe conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed-wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The sUAS to be operated hereunder is less than 10 lbs. fully loaded, carries neither a pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials norflammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusively within a limited radius area as set out in the pre flight briefing 

## I VLOS operations. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations underthis exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both the Operator, pursuant to safety requirements, and underthe requirements and in compliance with local public safety requirements, to provide securityfor the area of operation as is now

### done with conventional aircraft. These safety enhancements, which already apply to civil aircraft operated in connection with video production, provide a greater degree ofsafety to the public and property owners than conventional operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application ofthese same criteria demonstrates that there is no credible threat to national security posed by the UAS, due to its size, speed of operation, location ofoperation, lack ofexplosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load.



### 14 CFR §45.23 (B): Marking oftheAircraft The regulation requires: When marks include onlythe Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited," "restricted", "light-sport," "experimental," or "provisional," as applicable. Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the UAS will have no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" can be placed. Given the size ofthe sUAV, twoinch lettering will be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in compliance with §45.29 (f). The equivalent level ofsafetywill be provided by having the sUAV marked on its fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where the Pilot, Spotter (Observer) and others working with the sUAVwill see the identification ofthe UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 10167A. 

### 14 CFR §61.113 (a) & 

### (b): Private PilotPrivileges and Limitations

- Pilotin Command (PIC) Sections 61.113 (a) 

## &(b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Because the UAS will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level ofsafety ofcurrent operations by requiring the PIC operating the aircraftto have a private pilot's license ratherthan a commercial pilot's license to operate this small UAS. Unlike a conventional aircraft that carries the pilot and passengers, the sUAS is remotely controlled with no living thing on board. The area ofoperation is controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance as setforth in the Operating Manual. The level ofsafety provided bythe requirements included in the Operating Manual meets that provided by single individual holding a commercial pilot's certificate operating a conventional aircraft. The risks associated with commercial operations contemplated by Part 61 when drafted,

### that allowing operations ofthe sUAS as requested with a private pilot as the PIC exceeds the present level ofsafety achieved by 14 CFR §61.113 (a) 

## &(b). 14 CFR §91.7 (a): CivilAircraftAirworthiness The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraft and the requirements contained in the Operating Manual for maintenance and use ofsafety checks priorto each flight, as set forth in the Operating Manual, an equivalent level of safetywill be provided. 14 CFR §91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft FlightManual intheAircraft Section 91.9 (b) (2) provides: No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft

... (2) Forwhich an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. The sUAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. The equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained by keeping the Operating Manual atthe ground control point where the pilotflying the sUAS will have immediate access to it. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167, 10167A 10602, 32827, and 10700 14 CFR §91.103: PreflightAction This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety offlight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft an exemption will be needed. An equivalent level ofsafety will be provided as setforth in the Operating Manual. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoffdistances and aircraft performance data before initiation offlight. 14 CFR §91.109: FlightInstruction Section 91.103 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used forflight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. SUASs and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design do not have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished Page 9 of17 GregoryDirkSichel

### through the use ofa control boxthat communicates with the aircraftvia radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls for a number ofaircraft and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. See Exemptions Nos. 5778K 

## &9862A. The equivalent level ofsafety provided by the fact that aircraft will be piloted by a certified private pilot who has previously trained in remote flight areas before attempting flight within filming distance ofstructures. 

### 14 CPR §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes Section 91. 119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. As this exemption is for a sUAS, Gregory Dirk Sichel requests authorityto operate at altitudes up to 400 ft. AGL; an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As setforth herein, the UAS will never operate at higherthan 400 ft. AGL. It will however be operated in a controlled area where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre-obtained consent. The equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved given the size, weight, speed of the UAS as well as location where it is operated. No flight will be taken without the permission ofthe property owner. Because ofthe advance notice to the property owner and participants in the photographic activity, all affected individuals will be aware ofthe planned flight operations as set forth in the Operating Manual. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft weighing far more than the maximum 10 lbs. proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 ft. AGL. In addition, the low-altitude operations ofthe sUAS will ensure separation between these small UAS operations and the operations ofconventional aircraft that must complywith Section 91.119. 

### 14 CPR §91.121 :Altimeter Settings This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by reference to an altimeterthat is set "

...to the elevation ofthe departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure."As the sUAS will not have a barometric altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved by the operator, pursuantto the Operating Manual and Safety Check list, confirming the altitude ofthe launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. 

### 14 CPR §91.151 (a): Fuel Requirements for Flight inVFRConditions Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane underVFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) 

## Page 10of17 GregoryDirkSichel

### there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly afterthat for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly afterthat for at least 45 minutes." The battery powering the sUAS provides approximately 20 minutes of powered flight. To meet the 30 minute reserve requirement in 14 CFR §91.151, sUAS flights would be impossible. Given the limitations on the UAS's proposed flight area and the location of its proposed operations within a predetermined area, a longertime frame for flight in daylight or night VFR conditions is reasonable. Applicant believes that an exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 (a) falls within the scope of prior exemptions. See Exemption 10673 (allowing Lockheed Martin Corporation to operate without compliance with FAR 91.151 (a)). Operating the small UAS, in a tightly controlled area where only people and property owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed, with less than 30 minutes of reserved fuel, does not engenderthe type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed ofthe small UAS. Additionally, limiting sUAS flights would greatly reduce the utility for which the exemption will be granted. Applicant believes that an equivalent level ofsafety can be achieved by limiting flights to 20 minutes or25% of battery power whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate return the sUAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area. Similar exemptions have been granted to other operations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673, and 10808. 14 CFR §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying CivilAircraft Certification and Registration The regulation provides in pertinent part: (a) Except as provided in §91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate

... (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (b) ofthis section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed atthe cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 10 lbs. and is operated without an onboard Pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents orto displaythem on the sUAS. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control point where the Pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access 

## Page 11of17 Gregory DirkSichel

### to them, to the extent they are applicable to the sUAS, and should they be issued. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample ofother exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 10700. 14 CFR §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (2); 417 (a) & 

### (b): Maintenance Inspections These regulations require that an aircraft operator orowner "shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E ofthis part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph C ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in Part 43 ofthis chapter

...," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given that these section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator; pursuant to the Operating manual. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved because these small UASs are very limited in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods oftime. If mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higherthan 400 ft. AGL. As provided in the Operating Manual, the PIC (operator) will ensure that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, and perform required maintenance. Moreover, the operator is the person mostfamiliar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level ofsafety.

### *********DPursuantto 14 CFR Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: Applicant seeks an exemption from the following rules: D14 CFR

Privacy All flights will occur over private or controlled access property with the property owner's prior consent and knowledge, or over remote public land. Image capture of people will rarely take place, but in the event they are, they will have consented priorto being filmed or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where data collection will take place. Airborne Image Capture With regard to airborne filming, Gregory Dirk Sichel adheres to all FAA regulations. Further Gregory Dirk Sichel airborne teams operate underthe principals of: Safety First, QualityAssurance, Accountability, Reporting, and Training. When approved by the FAA it is Gregory Dirk Sichel's mandate to treat all sUAS operations the exact same level of professionalism and seriousness as that ofconventional aircraft. Approval ofexemptions allowing commercial operations of sUASs in the real estate industry will enhance safety by reducing risk. Conventional filming operations, using turbine or piston powered aircraft present the risks associated with vehicles thatweigh in the neighborhood of2,0001bs.+, carrying large amounts ofJetA or 1 OOLL (90 gallons for the aircraft primarily used by Gregory Dirk Sichel). Such aircraft mustfly to and from photographing location. In contrast, a sUAS weighing fewerthan 1Olbs and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all ofthe risk given the substantial reduced mass and lack ofcombustible fuel carried on board. The sUAS is typically transported to the location via auto or cargo van in a medium sized case and is neverflown to set. The sUAS will carry no passengers or crew and, therefore, will not expose them to the risks associated with manned aircraft The operation ofsmall UASs, weighting less than 1Olbs., conducted in the strict conditions outlined above, will provide an equivalent level ofsafety supporting the grant ofthe exemptions requested herein, including exempting the applicant from the requirements of Part 21 and allowing commercial operations. These lightweight aircraft operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in a sterile environment and, as a result, are far saferthan ground than conventional operations conducted with piston helicopters orfixed wing aircraft operating in 

## Page 13 of17 GregoryDirkSichel

### relatively close proximity to the ground and people. The primary market of interestfor Gregory Dirk Sichel utilizing sUASs is the marketing of real property, and the second is the education of real estate professionals. It is anticipated that the airborne image capture process will be accomplished exclusively in day time VFR environments. To capture the highest quality of resolution the majority of airborne data collections will take place during the 07:00am- 07:00pm (19:00) window. Summary Satisfaction ofthe criteria provided in Section 333 ofthe Reform Act of2012- size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line ofsight and national security- provide more than adequatejustification forthe grant ofthe requested exemptions allowing commercial operation of applicant's sUAS in the real estate industry pursuant to the Operating Manual appended hereto. Gregory Dirk Sichel is eagerly standing by to support the FAA and sUAS community in its quest to establish proper regulations and protocols forthe safe introduction of unmanned aircraft into the national airspace.

This chapter describes the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.)> 

# Aircraft**••,~l}~~f¢~~~r~,l'l~t '~:,~,;,**  The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on OJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight.

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : P modeworks bestwhen GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

:\): Use the Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:

### Home Point



### Smart RTH GPS De?cription

-- 

### The Home Point is the location atwhich your aircrafttakes offwhen the GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon (**~** 111 : ). 

### If you are using the Dynamic Home Point setting, the Horne Pointwill be updated to your current position asyou move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green.

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.

### INSPIRE 1 User Manual



### Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affectthe safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distance from the Home Point. Aircraftwill land automatically ifthe current battery level can only supportthe aircraftto land to the ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the landing process.

### Followthe steps belowto setup Dynamic Home Point: 1. Connectto the mobile device and launch the DJI Pilot app and goto the "Camera" page. 2. Tap"."and select""9', to reset the remote controller's coordinates as the new Home Point. 3. Tap"."and

### select".~", to reset the aircraft's coordinates as the new Home Point. 4. The aircraft status indicator blinks green to show Home Point is set succesfully.

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning 

### Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 

### is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Togglethe switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to liftoff, and the Inspire 1will hover in place. 

# & The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operatethe aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying over water or transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently or drastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflectsound waves awayfrom the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. :(;): • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes ofthe aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may notfunction properly when the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1 OOiux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audibleto some animals.

Flight data is automatically recorded to the SO card. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.

Pitch Pan



### Follow Mode

FPV Mode The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-Viewflying experience. The Gimbal's motion is independent ofthe aircraft's orientation. One user Free Mode alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation Re-alignment by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain unchanged during the re-alignment. 

## Lt, • Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from flat, open ground and protectthe gimbal after powering up. • Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The

gimbal will recover when it dries out.

# .. 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 1Om/s , snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode.

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work togetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### Max Height &

# Fly Safe

• Calibrating the Compass Make sure to calibrate the compass in every newflight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. Recalibrate the compass when: a) The Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. b) Rying in a new location. • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking

structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOT carryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. • DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. • Ifthe Flight Status LED is showing solid red, then tryto calibrate again. If it is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing

the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.



### • P Mode: Safe to fly. In this mode, the Inspire 1 has a strong GPS signal and can usethe Vision Positioning System allowing itto hoveraccurately in position indoors and out. Ifoutdoors, this mode also meansthat a Horne Point has been locked so that it can Return to Home if the control signal is lost. Ifyou are not in this mode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to P position to enable it. The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. Refer to the User Manual on howto unlockthe switch. There are three states in Pmode. P-GPS: GPS works bestwhen outdoors in awide open area, and your Inspire 1 uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS signal is strong. P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. P-ATTI: Neither GPS orVision Positioning System available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. Note thatthe Vision Positioning System may notwork properlywhen the Inspire 1 isflying overwater, oversurfaceswithoutaclear pattern, or in alow light environment.


### • Return to Home: GPS Positioning



# & Vision Positioning W Altitude 2.5 m

Return to home When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft will be able to record a Horne Point and return to the Horne Point when needed. The GPS location is recorded when the GPS signal icon in the DJI Pilot app is eitheryellow or green. The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically in the following cases (all require astrong GPS signal). Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the remote controller or in the App. Low Battery RTH: The DJI Pilot app notifies userstotake action when the battery level falls to aspecified threshold. Failsafe RTH: When the remote controllersignal is lost.

• While returning home, itsaltitudecan be adjusted bythe userto avoidobstructions.Tall buildings mayaffectthe remote controllersignal.

The Failsafe Return to Home procedurewill betriggered ifthesignal is lost Besureflyhigherthan anynearbybuildingstoavoid crashing.


### • Flight Limits: The Inspire 1 is not permitted to flywithin no-flyzones as specified by local laws and regulations. Please visit here: 

### http://www.dji.com/fly-safe for more information.


### • Environmental Considerations: 1. Do notfly in severe weather conditions. This includes high wind, snow, rain and smog. 2. Onlyfly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affectthe accuracy ofthe onboard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile

phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjecttoenvironmentalfactors such as airdensityand temperature. Beverycareful when

flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6.The Inspire 1cannot operate in Pmodeoruse GPS at polarlatitudes. It only can fly in A TTl modeand usethe Vision Positioning System.

## Individual Parts

1. Linking is required if you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote controller. Referto the user manual for more information about howto linkthe aircraft. 2. Ifthe remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 10 minutes it will automatically poweroff. Movethe sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert. 3. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft's flight. You may change itto a Master remote controller via the DJI Pilot app, and then link itto the aircraftto control flight. 4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly in place and does notslip. 5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be accurate, ensurethe DJI logo is facing the sky and keepthe remote controller awayfrom any metal objects. 6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly decrease performance. 7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controller from the aircraft's Intelligent Flight Battery.

1. Photos orvideos cannot betransmitted or copied from the camera ifthe Intelligent Flight Battery is powered off. 2. Be sure to power offthe Intelligent Flight Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will not be saved and any recorded videos may be damaged. 3. Test the camera byshooting a fewtest images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting important pictures. 4. Respectthe privacy ofothers when using the camera. Make sure you complywith local privacy laws, regulations and moral standards. 5. Checkcamera settings before useto make sure you can adjustthem tofityour needs.

1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal connector, as any damagewill cause ittofunction abnormally. 2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects obstruct the gimbal's full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision. Please only takeofffrom flat, open areas and protectthe gimbal after powering up. 3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it does not drop. 4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or even

## ·;~~~-p,~~,~~'j~t'?. 1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight performance or even failure. 2. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference. This includes areas wherethere are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or under bridges. 3. DO NOT carryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones. 4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spacesto outdoor spaces. 5. Ifthe rear LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate. 6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraftto another location and try again.

The Inspire 1 features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. However, it is good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing other parameter settings.

Refertothe Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines and batterystickerfor usage and maintenance information.

1. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, to ensure the built-in LiPo battery does not overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 22°C and 28°C for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the temperature range of -20°C to 45°C. 2. Do not allow the camera to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If it gets wet, wipe drywith a soft, absorbent cloth. Turning on an aircraft that has fallen into water may cause permanent component damage. Do not use substance containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substancesto clean or maintain the camera. Do not store the camera in humid or dustyareas. 3. Always keep all parts out ofthe reach of children, as the cables, straps or small parts may be dangerous if swallowed. If swallowed, goto the hospital immediately. 4. Detach the gimbal from the Inspire 1 when storing for a long period of time or transporting over long distances. Also replace the Gimbal Coverwhen storing.

1. Check every part of the aircraft if it is violently impacted. If you have any problems or questions, please contact a DJI authorized dealer. 2. Old, chipped, or broken propellers or motors should never be used. 3. Regularly checkthe Battery Level Indicatorsto see the current battery level and overall battery life.
