Petition ofExemption Request DearFAA, Superior Property Management and Makeovers LLC, as an organization, is requesting an exemption for the use ofan Unmanned Aircraft System. Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft System 2

Ourcompany intends to use this UAS for marketing purposes. Most likely this request falls under §21.25- aerial surveying. We market homes withpictures and sometimes videos ofeach property, as these aerial images catch attention as well as can capture a home at a new perspective. These properties are almost always vacant and we fly only overthe one property at a time, always with the owner's consent. We keep the drone within eyesight ofthe PIC. Droning these homes, the property is usually vacant and ittakes less than 15 minutes to get all the pictures and videos needed. The public is not indangerbythis use since we are generally flying over a vacant house only. This said, we do not fly our drone over large crowds ofpeople, only vacant residences. Marketing for ourpropertymanagementbusiness is the only reason in which we intend to use our aircraft. We will attach the FlightManual which describes the drone design and aircraftperformance as well as the limits and procedures to fly the drone. We own a DJI 3 Professional and have attached the user manual and the safety guidelines and disclaimer statement provided bythe company. This drone is one ofthe newest safest models with advances such as Failsafe return home and VisionPositioning system whichprovides for a3 EXEMPTION REQUEST safer flying experience. We fly ouraircraft inP-mode which allows the drone to only fly in safe zone and keeps itrestrictedto a height and distance set bythe FAA. We would neverhave a reason to fly above 400 ft. nor would we ever exceedthe speed of 100 mph. Preflight Maintenance is described thoroughly in the flight manual and the safety guidelines manual attached. We follow all the preflight instructions including going through thepreflight checklist as seen in the manuals and also calibrate our device before each flight. This model drone has beentested and approved bythe FCC as seen inthe safety guidelines disclaimer which is attached. Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft PIC In this company, there are only two pilots. Harry Spore and Lauren Todd, both ofwhich are employees ofSuperiorProperty Management and as PICs, have adequate flying experience, having flown recreational drones regularly the past 18 months. We both follow the regulations given by the FCC and bythe flight manual. We always operate within our visual line ofsight (VLOS) ofthe PIC at all times. We keep our drone's operating documents with the drone at all times. We keep track ofrecent revisions and updates bythe operator at all times and take responsibility for having these documents. As a team, we make sure ourUAS is maintained and inspectedto ensure that it is safe for operation. Priorto each flight, we conduct a preflight inspection and runthrough the checklist givenbythe manufacturer. We will operate following the manufacturer's maintenance, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. We only fly ourUAV during daylight hours, and never in any harsh conditions such as rain or snow. We never fly our UAV close to a no-fly zone. Ifanything happens and the PIC loses sight orloses its GPS signal, the drone is programmed to return home, which is the exactpoint from where it has taken off. This canbe explained further in the Flight manual attached. We have 3 batteries and we onlyuse full batteries to take flight. We do not have an airmen certification but are bothwilling to follow any requests. Thankyou for your attention to this matter. Ifyou have any questions or would like more information, I canbe reached at (901) 800-8273 orat harry@spmmail.com. Sincerely, ement and Makeovers LLC
