Nia Daniels, thank you for all your work. I plan to submit the following information to my docket before January 21, 2015

unless I hear back from you.

Respectfully,

Charles Lesowske



# Additional information request for: Addendum for: (Docket No. FAA-2014-0893)

 List the aircraft’s cruise speed.

o DJI Phantom quad copter cr uise speed: 0 to 10m/s

 Provide the flight time fo r the proposed UAS operation.

o Flight times for real estate assign ments would be less than 30 minutes.

 Provide description of proximity to airports.

o Varies, depends on location of property for photo assignment.

Brief explanation: As a real estate photographer most of the photos would be taken with the quad copter hovering and the maximum shooting time would be less than 30 minutes. Central Oregon is

the area that I do business in. At all times manned aircraft will have airspace priority over my UAS Phantom quadcopter.

The proximity of three air ports that I could have real estate a ssignment close and/or around are listed

below:

Sisters Eagle airport (unmanned) 15820 Barlcay Drive Sisters, OR 977592 

### http://www.sistersairport.com/ Proximity of closest possible ph oto assignments would be 1500 ft.

Bend Municipal Airport

63136 Powell Butte Road, Bend, OR 97701 http://www.bend.or.us/index.aspx?page=511 Proximity of closest possible phot o assignments would be 1 mile.

Roberts Field is the main commercial airport in Central Oregon 2522 SE Jesse Butler Circle, Redmond, OR 97756 http://www.flyrdm.com/ Proximity of closest possible phot o assignments would be 1 mile.

This information will not be submitted to the docket. It is a FYI, in hopes that it helps other real estate photographers. Of my last four real estate photo a ssignments, three were in Sisters with one in Bend Oregon. The three photo shoots in Sisters were 4168 ft, 5078 ft and 1.15 mile s from the airport runway. Just one of these assign ments would have warranted aerial pictures, which would have been

taken at less than 100 ft. The low altitude would show the mountains, looking from the front yard and just over the ridgeline of the house.

Below is the flight pattern for the Sisters Eagle airport. The city of Si sters, Oregon has a population of 2038 and the center of town is approxim ately 1 mile from the runway.3 From: Nia.Daniels@faa.gov [ mailto:Nia.Daniels@faa.gov ]
