Petition for Exemption

Chris Ballard Drone Aerial Technologies 773 W Montrose Ave Clermont, Florida 34711 June19,2015 Phone 352-410-8929
I, Chris Ballard, herebysubmit this petition for exemption under Section 333; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, Public Law 112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333. I request this exemption in orderto operate my UAV/UAS, OJI Phantom 2 Professional QuadcopterAircraft, in orderto provide services for profitto include aerial photography, aerial cinematography, aerial filming and photographyfor real estate, construction firms, agricultural modeling, crop monitoring operations, aerial mapping, special events to include but not limited to weddings, private or public parties/events, business advertising, promotional events, geological surveying, and environmental studies.

The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community will benefitthem by opening up opportunities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods ofaerial photography/videography are simply not viable

,,, options·for the average consumer as they are costly and involve greater risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carrying humans and flammable fuel. By utilizing 'the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions.

Priorto each flight/operation ofthe UAV/UAS, Iwill conduct a Pre-Flight Safety Inspection. Any and all repairs will be performed only by the manufacturers authorized repair facilities/ providers. Flights will nottake place overdensely populated areas or private propertywithoutthe owners permission. The UAV/UAS will only be operated withinvisual line ofsight and will not be flown nearairports or above 400 feet. The FAA can be confidentthat operations ofthis UAV/UAS will achieve at leastthe equivalent orgreater level ofsafety.

The requests ofthis petition are similarto those of Mr. Jase W. Robak, Mr. Todd Thomas Drone Pies, and Mr. Mike Lloyd Lloyd & Associates, all ofwhom have received Section 333 exemptions for comparable aircraftfor similar operations.

The specific sections of 14 C.F.Rfrom which I am seeking exemption are as follows: 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5); 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a)
