Petition for Part 21; and 45.23(b); 61.113(a) & (b); 91.7(a); 91.9(b)(2); 91.103(b); 91.109; 91.119; 91.121, 91.151(a); 91.203(a) & (b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409(a)(2); and 91.417(a) & (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations

Weplan to operate a UAS, the PHANTOM 2 Vision+, which is comprised of an unmanned aircraft (UA or PHANTOM) and a trans portable ground station. The PHANTOM is referred to as a quad

- copter with a maximum gross weight of about 3 pounds. It is equipped with four rotors that are driven by electric motors powered by batteries. The UA has a maximum airspeed of 20 knots. The UA will have a small 14 megapixel camera attached to the bottom as is installed by DJI, the manufacturer of the UAS. Weare asking for exemption from these regulations so we can fly over various agricultural fields to video our agri cultural technology products during use. This will not only help our customers see the benefits of our products , but will also help inform the general public on some of the advances in agriculture that help provide for the worlds growing demand for an affordable food supply. The vide os taken by the UAS will help show that technology in the agricultural industry is growing rapidly, and will emphasize the importance of the new technologies role in running a profitable farming operation. Granting this exemption would allow us to easily s how the relevance of our products in today’s agricultural comm unity in a way which would be very cost

- efficient as opposed to the other alternatives used in attempt to achieve the same goal. Our small UAS will pose little threat to the public as it does not contain a combustible fuel and is rather small in size compared to larger manned aircraft. Also, a majority of our flying will be above open agricultural fields so there are very few obstacles around our flying zone that could cause potential complications. Wealso request to be able to operate under the exemption outside of the United States. This will help us video new prototype and developmental products when testing outside of the United States. The operation of this UAS will promote economic growth in our local, national, and global economy with very little risk of potential problems.All employees will be trained before they are permitted to fly the UAS , so they will

provide the following levels of safety:

Pilots will only operate in reasonably safe environments that are strictly controlled, are away from elevated lights, airports , and actively populated areas; Pilots will conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols, during which safety carries primary im portance; Pilots will operate the UAS below 4 00 feet above ground level. Pilots will operate the UAS for no longer than 25 minutes per flight; Pilots will land the UAS prior to the manufacturers recom mended minimum level of battery power; Pilots will operate his UAS only within visual line of sight (VLOS); Pilots will use the UAS global positioning system (GPS) flight safety feature whereby it hovers and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control pilot is lost; Pilots will conduct all operat ions under his own personal and fli ght safety protocols (including posting a warning sign reading: Attention Aerial Photography in Progress Remain Back 150 feet) contained in the operating documents a nd will actively analyze flight data and other sources of information to constantl y update and enhance the safety protocols; Pilots will contact respective airports if operations will be with in 5 miles to advise them of our estimated flight time, flight duration, elevation of flight and other pertinent information; Pilots will always obtain permission from the owner or controller of any vessels, vehicles, or structures within 500 feet, as well as an owners or controllers of private property ; Pilots will have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger.
