Under the Conditions and Limitations to the Exemption, AirGon's operations were limited to a single model of UAS, the AV-900. AirGon hereby requests amendment to its existingExemptionto allow AirGon to operate additional UAS models and types for thepurpose ofacquiring aerial data. AirGon requests that 

### itbe granted permission to operate all models and types ofUAS that have been approved bythe FAA. A partial list ofapproved UAS is attached hereto as Exhibit "A" for illustration purposes and not to limit the scope ofthis request for amendment. Thisrequest is similarin all material respects to the reliefgranted in Exemption No. 12646.

The relief requested in this letter will allow AirGon to provide aerial data collection services more efficiently and effectively without negatively impacting public safety. In addition

to the reasons stated in the Exemption and AirGon's original petition, AirGon will achieve an equivalent level ofsafety to that provided in the Exemption or under manned operations for the following reasons:

1. AirGon will ensure that all UAS used in its operations weigh less than 55 pounds including payload, will be operated at a speed not exceeding 87 knots or the maximum aircraft

1operating airspeed recommended by the UAS manufacturer, and meet or comply with all restrictions, limitations and conditions set outbytheFAA as applicable to thatparticular aircraft.

2. AirGon will comply with all applicable manufacturer's instructions and manuals with regard to the operation and maintenance ofthe aircraft.

3. AirGon will continue to comply with all conditions and limitations set out in the Exemption.

4. AirGon will ensure that all persons serving as a PIC meet all applicable requirements and will have demonstrated their ability to safely operate each UAS model that they will use to conduct AirGon operations.
