Michael Smith Infinity Drone Applications 19557 Carleno Dr. East Lake Noth Carolina 27953 252-202-5685 This request is in reference to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333. I would like to request an exemption to allow for the following applications: • Real Estate Videography and Photography • Wedding Videography and Photography • Land survey & appraisals • Equipment Inspections • Roof Inspections • Construction sites before & after • Aerial Videodgraphy and Photography • Creation of commercial messages for Television. • Motion Picture Filming • Increase public knowledge of UAS and promote safe UAS operations. While requesting the exemption for the use of the UAS for these applications I would like to present my case for the exemption from the following regulations. 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b) 91.7(a) 91.121 91.151(b) 91.405(a) 91.407(a)(1) 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2) 91.417(a) & (b) The drone we are requesting exemption for is the DJI Phantom v 1.1.1. We have chosen this drone due to it's reliability and safety features which have all been granted previous exemptions. This drone will be equipped with a SJ4000 camera, which will be used for the photography portion of the applications we are seeking exemption for. For the purposes of brevity, the extent and reason for relief will be explained below per each requirement. In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, Infinity Drone Applications DJI Phantom 1 UAs meets the conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Accordingly, Infinity Drone Applications requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. There will still be a safety requirement in effect to ensure proper operation of the drone at all times. Which will include a manual pre-flight check, a weekly maintenance check, and a limit to flight times based on avaliable flight capability. This flight time will not exceed half of the avaliable flight time. A maintenance checklist will be maintained for all pre-flights and weekly check. Any repairs needed to be made will be documentd,along with any failures that caused an inability to fly. Also at any time the logs will be made

availiable to any parties involved with the flight. Also any law enforcement may ask at any time for any of the flight manuals and/or logs. Records will be kept of each check for the life of the use of the drone for commercial purposes. These documents will be kept with the (PIC) during flight. Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by Infinity Drone Applications, to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) with a minimum of 20 hours of UAS flight time with the specified model. This is to include emergency manuevers to avoid any private or public damage, and any injuries to the public, by an unforseen failure of the drone in use. Also any (PIC) will mantain at minmium advanced first aid and CPR certifications, a device (such as cell phone) capabale of contacting emergency services and a first aid kit at the flight site at all times. We would also like to request relief due to the UAS not being manned but pilot or passengers, and due to it's small size and weight, and complying with staying under 200 feet of altitude, similar to an ultralight which does not require certification either. Also since I am requesting exemption from the aircraft worthiness certificate I would be unable to provide all of the required documentaion for gaining the pilot certification. All of the (PIC)s will still be required to have yearly physicals, and any corrective devices used authorized and prescribed by a Board Certified MD. Infnity Drone Applications seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJI Phantom 1 UAS do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such we will manatain airworthiness based on the operator manuals and precedents set by prior granted exemeptions. This is to include the aforementiond maintenace check, pre-flight checks, and minimum (PIC) requirements. Infinity Drone Applications also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 1 will not have a barametric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 1 UAS will be provided to the (PIC) via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. Also with the current model at no time will the DJI Phantom 1 leave the (PICS)s visual line of sight. With our current intended uses of the UAS we will also not have a need to exceed 200 feet of altitude. Additionally, Infinity Drone Applications, seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Infinity Drone Applications submits that safety will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 1 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of approximately 10 minutes, which is more than enough time needed for our intended applications of use. Also to ensure safety, once flight time, or battery power (whichever occurs first) have reached a halfyway mark, the UAS will be returned to the flight area and a freshly charged battery will be used if more flight time is needed. In accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 11.81, . provides the following information in support of its petition for exemption Name and contact information of intended Primary (PIC)s Michael Smith 19557 Carleno dr.

Specific areas of requested exemption. Section Part 21, Subpart H Section 61.113(a) And (b) Section 91.121 Section 91.151(b) Section 91.405(a) Section 91.407(a)(1) Sections 91.409(a)(1) And 91.409(a)(2 Sections 91.417(a) And 91.417(b). Per the mission behind integrating UAS into the NAS below is how granting Infinity Drone Applications an Exemption will benefit the public. Increased safety for aerial photography. Typical means of aerial photography require a manned and piloted vehicle. The ability to use a drone will not only cut down on enviromental and noise pollution, but will also increase personal safety by being unmanned, lighter, and using electrical propulsion instead of gas powered. Economical Benefits. Granting us this exemption will help Infinity Drone Applications stablize it's buisness plan, in turn this will provide Infinity Drone applications income, and allow us to assist others with advertising of their buisness and real estate which in turn can increase their revenue. All of this can also be offered more affordable than the typical means, and those that may not have had access to this method before now may have a viable solution. Any concerns of Privacy will be complied with by asking for property owner permission before any flight is taken. Also by cooperating with any civil service or law enforcement agency. Also any commercial flight will be well documented with address, time, property owner names, and intent of flight. Copies of these will be made avaliable to any involved parties that may ask. Granting these exemptions will not be a danger to public safety due to the stringent pre-flight requirements we are placing all (PIC)s under. As explained earlier all (PIC)s will have a minimum of 20 hours of documented flight time with the intended drone, mantain advanced first aid and CPR certifications, as well as thourough knowledge of the maintenance requirements of the specific model. All (PIC)s wil also mantain the capability (such as a cell phone) to contact any emergency services that may be neccassary. All (PIC)s will also only fly in daylight hours with Visual meterological conditions and Visual flight rules. The drone will never be flown longer than %50 of the intended battery life or average flight time, whichever occurs first. The drone itself is also equpped with several safeties of it's on including a return to flyer when it loses connectivity with the (PIC) or if the battery life does suddenly drop to %10.These safety requirements and pre-flight requirments were all pulled from previously granted

exemptions by the FAA. Infinity Drone applications have chosen the requirements that we felt we could comply with, that also provided and adequate level of safety. Some of these requirements were pulled from the previously granted exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161. Due to having met the previous requirements, and due to the size and weight of the intended drone. We also do not believe this drone to be a danger to the NAS or National Security. This Petition is made pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333, which directs the Secretary of Transportation to determine if certain UAS may operate safely in the NAS. As such, Infinity Drone Applications request for exemption may be granted pursuant to the authority of FMRA Section 333 and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, as set forth above. FMRA Section 333 sets forth the requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security; and further, provides the authority for such UAS to operate without airworthiness certification. As discussed in detail above, Infinity Drone Applications will operate the DJI Phantom 1 UAS safely in the NAS, without creating a hazard to users of the NAS, or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. In Conclusion, Infinity Drone Applications thanks the FAA for it's time, we understand a lot of exemptions are being requested at this time, therefore we have tried our best to cover the material neccessary but in a brief format. If there are any other questions please feel free to contact the owner Michael Smith for answers to any technical or safety concerns.
