Re: Application for Issuance of Section 333 Exemption Based upon 

Exemption 11110 Issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd. 

Dear Sir or Madam, 

Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. herewith applies for the issuance of an exemption under 

Section 333 of the FAA Modemization and Reform Act of 2012 based upon Exemption 11110 

issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd. ("Trimble") on December 10, 2014 in FAA Docket 2014-0367. 

The requested exemption would allow Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. to operate the UX5 

aircraft manufactured by Trimble or other Trimble aircraft approved for commercial operations 

under Exemption 11110, as amended, such as the UX5hp for which an amendment has been 

filed. Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. notes that the FAA recently authorized use of the Trimble 

UX5 by a third party in Exemption No. 11257, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0889, on April 

2, 2015, under updated conditions, and Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. hereby confirms that it 

will accept such conditions as well as those set forth in Exemption No.11240, 

Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0894. 

The name and contact information for the applicant are: 

Lane Housley

Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. intends to operate the UX5 or the UX5hp from Trimble and will 

operate it in strict compliance with the conditions set forth in Exemption 11110, as such 

conditions may be amended or modified by the FAA from time to time, as was done in 

Exemption Nos.11240 and 11257, or such other conditions as the FAA shall specify, and the 

following manuals: 

1) Trimble UX5 Data Sheet; and 

2) Trimble UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution User Guide (User Guide) 

Copies of these manuals are attached. 

These manuals are very similar to the manuals submitted by Trimble in support of the 

issuance of Exemption 11110, updated to reflect changes reported in Trimble's March 4, 

2015 amendment to Exemption 11110. The manuals will be updated by 
U.S. Departrnent of Transportation

Trimble, as needed to reflect any changes to Exemption 11110, based on amendments 

thereto. 

Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. acknowledges that under current FAA guidance a separate 

Certificate of Waiver or Authorization ("COA") is required to fly at altitudes in excess of 200 

feet AGL, and it will apply for COAs where required. Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. hereby 

requests a blanket COA for flights up to 200 feet AGL in the form approved by the FAA. 

Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. will also file NOTAMs for its flights, as required. 

To the extent necessary, Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. refers the FAA to the original 

exemption and the amended exemption requests submitted by Trimble in Docket FAA-2014- 

0367 for demonstration of the public interest and an equivalent level of safety. Because the 

UX5 and the UX5hp specified in this request are the same or, essentially the same, as the 

craft already approved in Exemption 11110, and Crafton Tull & Associates Inc. will operate 

the aircraft in strict compliance with the conditions in existing exemptions previously granted 

by the FAA, or as they may be amended, notice need not be provided in the Federal Register 

nor public comment solicited.' 

If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned. 

Very truly yours, 

Lane Housley 

Crafton Tull & Associates, Inc.

' Applicant reads Section 333 as placing the duty on the Administrator not only to process applications 

for exemptions under Section 333 but, if he determines that the conditions set forth herein do not fulfill the 

statutory requirements for approval, to craft conditions for the safe operation of the UAS.
