Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations from 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b);14 CFR Part 21;14 CFR 

61.113 (a) & (b); 91.7 (a);91.9 (b) (2);91.103(b); 91.109;91.119; 91.121;

(b). 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

VizTools wishes to amend its Part 333 Exemption granted on August 17, 2015 

and further amended on October 28, 2015, to change the wording as follows: 

On page 6 of the amended Exemption, VizTools requests that the distance 

requirement in number 26 on that page be reduced from 500 feet to 50 feet, provided 

VizTools will be using a Yuneec Q500 Typhoon 4K, 4 Blade Rotorcraft. Weight: 

3. 75 Pounds sUAS for the following reasons: 

1. The size and weight of the Yuneec 0500 4K sUAS being used and registered 

(N102VT) by VizTools is only 3.75 pounds, which is less that 10 percent of the 55 pound 

weight allowed in this category. This provides a much a greatly reduced risk. 

2. VizTools is willing to stipulate that the reduced distance would only apply in 

cases where the weight of the sUAS is under 4 pounds. 

3. Further, Roland Boucher has held a Commercial pilots certificate (2711520) 

with an Instrument Rating and Complex Airplane Endorsement and he has hundreds of 

hours of actual instrument flight time. Mr. Boucher has had no infractions or accidents. 

4. Typical private properties flown over would have boundaries that would meet 

the 50 foot requirement for owner approval in suburban environments. The original 

requirement of property owner approval within 500 foot distance is not workable in a 

typical suburban environment. Granting the reduction to 50 feet, would allow greater 

utilization in these areas. 

The name and address of the applicant is:

Flight Controls 

NOTE: The information In this and the following sections refers to the 

default 'Mode 2' control configuration of the ST10+. The left-har1d stick on 

the 5110+ controls the throttle (climb/descend) and ruddel' {y<~w left/right) 

channels •. When the left-hand stick ~also known as the throttle s'lick) Is In 

U1e middle position during flight the TYPHOON will maintain the current 

altitude. As you move the stick upward the 1YPHOON wilt climb, and as 

you move the stick downward the TYPHOON wJU descend. The farther 

away from the middle position you move the stick the faster the TYPHOON 

will climb or descend. 12 

IMPORTANT NOTE: The maximum altitude Is limited to 400 feet (122 

meters) AGL (Above Ground level) i11 both Smart. and Ar1gle (Pilot) Mode. 

Md although this limit can be adjusted using the USB lnterface/p.-ogrammer and softwat·e we strongly recommend tJslng the default limit at all 

times.

The Follow Me function allows the 1YPHOON to follow the pilot, adjusting 

Its Jocab'on to the location of the ST10+. This function Is enabled when 

ST10-+· GPS positioning c.on1pletes, and the TYPHOON Is using shared GPS 

signal wlth the SUO+. At this time, you will see jt.!i in orange, and E:'j In 

green color. 

When In Follow Me function, the lYPHOON will follow the movement of 

ST10+ If there ls no extra operation on the ST10+. The flight status is also 

controllable when you operate ST10+ and CG03.

PROPORTIONAL CONTROL RATE SUDER 

The Proportional Control Rate Slider located on the right side of the ST10+-

allows you to set the overall climb/descend and directional control rates. 

Use ihe turtle position for the lowest control rates (best forf1rst-time pilots 

and required when flying between 5000 feet anc! 8000 feet Above Mean 

Sea Level), and use the rabbit position tor the highest control rates (best for 

experienced pilots and can only be used when flying below 5000 feet MSL). 

Or use a posltioro in between if you prefer.

approximately 26 feet !8 metet's) of you (as long as you position yourself m. 

least26 fueVS meters behind the TYPHOON. 

GEO..FENCE 

The geo-fence Is a vittual 'barrier' that will keep the TYPHOON from travel·
