DESCRIPTION OF PROPO SED OPERATIONS II.

The requested exemption would authorize commercial operation of Nightingale’s

proprietary Brds Eye UAS, as well as the previously approved vehicles identified in

Attachm ent 1 and Attachment 2 to the Amended Measure Exemption and attached to this

Petition as Appendix A . By way of example, the proposed aerial data collection activities

may include:

 Aerial surveying and remote sensing

 Security monitoring inspections and patrols

 3D mapping and photogrammetry

 Aerial inspection of commercial and industrial property

 Building, infrastructure and utility inspection s

 Search and rescue applications

 Emergency services support

 Construction monitoring

 Outdoor aeronautical research and development testing of the BrdsEye UAS

 Sales, marketing

, and product demonstrations flightsPetition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

All UAS operations will be performed in accordance with the conditions proposed

herein and in accordance with the requirements of an applicable COA. Am ong other things

, and as described below, all UAS operations will occur in uncontrolled airspace, unless

specific authorization is granted by the FAA or applicable authorities, within visual line

- of

sight ( “ VLOS ” ) of the pilot and visual observer, and will be limited to daytime VFR conditions

.

The proposed aerial data collection activities in this Petition are not new or novel to

the FAA. The FAA has previously issued grants of exemption to use small UAS for the same

aerial data collection activities as those proposed by Nightingale. See e.g.

,

 Exemption No. 15064 (February 26, 2016; Docket FAA

- 2015

The low

- risk UAS operations proposed by Nightingale in this Petition fall squarely

within the category of aerial data collection that has been subject to previous approval.

RELEVAN T STATUTORY AUTHORIT Y III.

This Petition for Exemption is submitted pursuant to Section 333(a) through (c) of

FMRA. Congress has directed the FAA "to safely accelerate the integration of civil

unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system." Pur suant to Section 333 of

FMRA, the FAA Administrator is to permit unmanned aircraft systems to operate in the NAS

where it is safe to do so based on the following considerations:

 The UAS's size, weight, speed and operational capability;

 Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; and

 Operation of the UAS within the visual line of sight of the operator.

Additionally, the FAA Administrator has general authority to grant exemptions from

the agency's safety regulations and minimum st andards when the Administrator decides a

requested exemption is in the public interest. See 49 U.S.C. § 106(f) (defining the authority

of the Administrator); 49 U.S.C. § 44701(f) (permitting exemptions from §§ 44701(a), (b) and

§§ 44702

– 44716, et seq. ). A party requesting an exemption must explain the reasons why

the exemption: (1) would benefit the public as a whole, and (2) would not adversely affect

safety (or how it would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rules). See FAR

§ 11 .81 (petitions for exemption).Petition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

NIGHTINGALE’S PROPOS ED UAS OPERATIONS ME ET THE REQUIREMENTS IV.

OF SECTION 333 OF FM RA

Nightingale’s proposed operations in this Petition for Exemption qualify for expedited

approval under to Section 333 of FMRA, as each of the s tatutory criteria and relevant factors

are satisfied and the FAA has previously issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar

in all material respects to those presented in this Petition for Exemption. See Exemption No.

- 2014

- 0642) (“ Aeryon Labs

Exemption ”)

Approval is Warranted Based on th e UAS's Size, Weight, S peed, and A.

O perational C apability

All of the UAS vehicles chosen by Nightingale meet the requirements of Section 333

of FMRA due to their weight, speed and operational capabilities. Nightingale intends to

operate a variety of small, lightweight, battery

- powered UAS under the requested exemption,

including those approved in previously granted exemptions which are set out in Attachment 1

and Attachment 2 to the Amended Measure Exemption (and attached to this Petition as

Appendix A ).

In addition to the previously approved vehicles in Appendix A

, Nightingale seeks to

operate its proprietary BrdsEye UAS which also meets the requir ements of Section 333 of

FMRA. The BrdsEye is a small, lightweight, battery powered UAS

. It has four electric

motors configured in a quadcopter configuration. The vehicle has an empty weight of 2.0 kg

and a gross takeoff weight of 3.2kg. It is composed primarily of carbon fiber and plastic , and

m easures 34” in width, 29” in length, 8.5” in height, and has a maxim um lateral dimension of

1.5m (including propellers). The BrdsEye operates at a maximum air speed of 20 m/s (~45

mph) and has a climb rate of +/

- 5 m/s. Consistent with previously granted exemptions, the

following characteristics of the BrdsEye make it appr opriate for aerial data collection activities

and would warrant approval for a grant of exemption under Section 333 of FMRA:

 It weighs less than 55 pounds including payload;

 It has the capability to operate safely after experiencing certain in

- fligh t contingencies

or failures and uses an auto

- pilot system to maintain UAS stability and control. The

UAS is also able to respond to a loss of GPS or a lost

- link event with a pre

coordinated, predictable, automated flight maneuver. These safety features pro vide

an equivalent level of safety compared to a manned aircraft performing a similar

operation and mitigate the risk of command and control link failures;

 The radio frequency used for operation and control of the UAS comply with the

Federal Communications Commission ( “ FCC ” ) and other appropriate government

oversight agency requirements; and

 The UAS operates at a speed of 87 knots or less.Petition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

Additional details on the specifications and operating capabilities of the BrdsEye UAS

are attached as Appendix B to th is Petition.

Approval is Warranted Based on the Proposed Condition and B.

Limitations

To expedite the FAA's safety assessment of the proposed U AS operations,

Nightingale will agree to the conditions and limitations imposed on similarly situated

petitioners seeking to use small UAS for aerial data collection. Collectively, these conditions

and limitations ensure that the proposed UAS operations will not adversely affect safety and

will provide at least an equivalent level of safety to the rules from which e xemption is sought.

Each UAS operated under the exemption will be subject to the following conditions

and limitations:

1. Operations authorized by the grant of exemption will be limited to the BrdsEye UAS , and

the UAS approved by the Secretary of the Departme nt of Transportation under Section

333 ( Appendix A ) when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed

operations of any other UAS will require a new petition or a petition to amend this

exemption.

2. Operati ons for the purpose of closed

- set moti on picture and television filming are not

permitted.

3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The

operator may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance

with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds

greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft

manufacturer.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level

(AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL. This limitation is in addition to any altitude

restrictions that may be included in the applicable COA.

5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sigh t (VLOS) of the PIC at all time s. This

requires the PIC to be able to use human vision una ided by any device other than

corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

- issued airman medical certificate or

U.S. driver’s license.

6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the

visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy

the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO

and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times ; e lectronic messaging or

texting is not permitted du ring flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the

flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC

must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO.

7. This exemption and all documents nee ded to operate the UAS and conduct its operations

in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this exemption, are hereinafter

referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible

during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a

discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in this exemption, thePetition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

- issued COA, and the procedures outlined in the operating documents,

the most restrictive conditions, limitatio ns, or procedures apply and must be followed.

The operator may update or revise its operating documents as necessary. The operator

is responsible for tracking revisions and presenting updated and revised documents to

the Administrator or any law enforcemen t official upon request. The operator must also

present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this

exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis

upon which the FAA granted thi s exemption, then the operator must petition for an

amendment to its exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS

- 80) may be

contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents.

8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or

flight characteristics, e.g. , replace ment of a flight critical compo nent, must undergo a

functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption.

Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at

least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a

manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property.

9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and i nspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in

a condition for safe operation.

10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre

- flight inspection and determine the UAS

is in a condition for safe flight. The pre

- flight inspection must account for all potential

discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals

a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from

operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is fo und to

be in a condition for safe flight.

11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, ove rhaul, replacement,

inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components.

12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must co mply with all manufacturer safety

bulletins.

13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airl ine transport, commercial,

private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA

airman medical certificate or a va lid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of

Colu mbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possess ion, or the Federal government. The PIC

must also meet the flight revi ew requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft

in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demo nstrates the ability

to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated

under this exemption, including evasive and em ergency maneuvers and maintaining

appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles , and structures. PIC qualification

flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b).

Flights for the purposes of training the ope rator’s PICs and VOs (traini ng, proficiency,

and experienc e

- building) and determining t he PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in

a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are

permitted under the terms of this exemptio n. However, training operations may only be

conducted during dedicated tr aining sessions. During traini ng, proficiency, and

experience

nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91. 119.

15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR §1.1. All

operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Fligh ts

under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.

16. The UA may not operat e within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as

denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted

with an ARP, the c enter of the airport symbo l as denoted on the current FAA

obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of

agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Admi nistrator or

any law enforcemen t official upon request.

17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally

from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statut e miles from the PIC

.

18. For tethered UAS operations, the t ether line must have colored pe nnants or streamers

attached at not more than 50 foot intervals beginning at 150 feet above the surface of the

earth and visible from at least 1 mile. This requirement for pennants or streamers is not

applicable when operating exclusively below the top of and within 250 feet of any

structure, so long as the UA operation does not obscure the lighting of the structure.

19. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS sign al, the UA must return to a pre

-

d etermined location within the pr ivate or controlled

- access property.

20. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

21. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (consideri ng wind and forecast

weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended

operation and to operate after that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power

recommended by the manufacturer if greater.

22. Air Traffic Organi zation (ATO) Certificate of Wai ver or Authorization (COA). All operations

shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO

26. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC fr om any moving device or vehicle.

27. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating

persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons

from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure

that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises

where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of

the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety

of nonparticipating persons; and

b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles, or structures has granted

permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety

asse ssment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it

REGULATIONS FROM WHI CH EXEMPTION IS SOUG HT V.

Nightingale seeks an exemption from the following FARs that the FAA consistently

grants exemption s from on a summary basis for aerial d ata collections activities:

§ 91.409(a)(1) and (2) Inspections.

91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance records.

Listed below are the specifi c FARs f or which an exemption is sought and , as required

by FAR § 11.81(e), the operating procedures and safeguards that Petitioner has establish ed

which will ensure a level of safety better than or equal to that provided by the rules from

which exemption is sought

.

FARs Relating to the Unmanned Aircraft System A.

Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following maintenance and inspection related

FARs: §§ 91.405(a) Maintenance required , 91.407(a)(1 ) Operation after maintenance,

preventive maintenance, rebui lding, or alteration , 91.409(a)(1) and (2) Inspections , and

91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance records

. These regulations specify maintenance and

inspection standards in reference to FAR § 43.6. An exemption from these regulations isPetition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

March 4

, 2016

Page 11

needed because Part 43 an d these sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness

certificate, which the UAS to be operated under this grant of exemption will not have.

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections

will be performed in a ccordance with the manufacturer’s manual and any required

manufacturer Safety or Service Bulletins. Further, as required by the proposed conditions

and limitations , the PIC will conduct a pre

- flight inspection of the UAS and all associated

equipment to ac count for all discrepancies and/or inoperable components. Maintenance will

be performed and verified to address any conditions potentially affecting safe operation of the

UAS and no flights will occur unless, and until, all flight critical components of th e UAS have

been found to be airworthy and in a condition safe for operation. A functional test flight will be

conducted following the replac ement of any flight critical components. As required by the

operating docu ments, the PIC who conducts the functional test flight will make an entry in the

UAS aircraft records of the flight.

The conditions outlined above in Section (IV)(B) include requirements to follow the

U AS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit

requirements for the UAS and its components. The conditions also include a requirement to

document and maintain a record of the UAS maintenance, preventative maintenance,

alterations, status of replacement/overhaul component parts, and the total time in service of

Pet itioner's UAS. As a whole, the maintenance and inspection procedures ensure that an

equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved.

FARs Relating to Pilot Qualifications and Training B.

Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following FARs that re strict private,

recreational or sport pilot certificate holders from flying aircraft for compensation or hire, and

would require a second class medical certificate: §§ 62.23(a) and (c) Medical certificates:

Requirement and duration , 61.101(e)(4) and (5) Re creational pilot privileges and limitations

, 61.113(a) Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command

, and 61.315(a) What are

the privileges and limits of my sport pilot certificate?

The FAA consistently grants exemptions from the above refer enced FARs relating to

pilot qualification and training. Consistent with prior FAA analysis and as required by the

proposed conditions and limitations, Petitioner’s UAS pilot will hold a valid and current

commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. Petitioner’s pilot will also hold a

valid and current U.S. driver’s license

. Petitioner’s proposed training and qualification are

consistent with those contained in prior FAA

- issued grants of exemption, and will provide a

higher level of com petency and proficiency for its pilots

, and will ensure at least an equivalent

level of safety.

FARs Relating to UAS Operating Parameters C.

Inasmuch as there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the UAS, Nightingale

seeks an exemption from FA R § 91.7(a) Civil aircraft airworthiness , which requires that a

civil aircraft be in an airw orthy condition to be operated. While P etitioner’s UAS will not have

an airworthiness certificate, the FAA has determined that for the purposes of this exemption

t he pilot may determine the aircraft is in an airworthy condition prior to flight. An exemption is

warranted because Nightingale understands that, notwithstanding the lack of an

airworthiness certificate, the FAA will consider its “compliance with [Nightin gale’s Manuals] to

be sufficient means for determining an airworthy condition” and that Nightingale must still

determine the UA’s airworthiness prior to each flight based on compliance with suchPetition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

Manuals. Trimble Exemption , at 16.

Petitioner also seeks a n exemption from FAR § 91.119(c) Minimum safe altitudes , to

the extent necessary to allow UAS operations over other than congested areas at altitudes

lower than those permitted by rule. The ability to operate at those altitudes are one of the

key benefits of using small UAS for the proposed aerial data collection activities. An

equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the UAS, as

well as the controlled location where the operation will occur. Even at these low alti tudes,

Nightingale’s UAS operations will be conducted at a level of safety equal to or better than

that achieved by a larger manned aircraft performing similar activities at the altitudes required

by FAR § 91.119.

To the extent necessary to conduct for the proposed operations, Nightingale also

requests an exemption from FAR § 91.121 Altimeter settings

, which requires a person

operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude or flight level by reference to an altimeter

that is set to the elevation of t he departure airport or barometric pressure. The FAA has

stated that an equivalent level of safety to the requirements of FAR § 91.121 can be

achieved in circumstances where: (1) the UAS will be operated 400 feet AGL or below, (2)

within VLOS, (3) where G PS based altitude information is relayed in real time to the operator

at a ground

- based on

- screen display and, (4) where prior to each flight, a zero altitude

initiation point is established for the PIC to confirm accuracy of the onboard GPS. Astraeus

Aeri al Exemption at 21. The UAS that Petitioner intends to use for performing the proposed

operations meet all these operational characteristics and the PIC will check the UA altitude

reading prior to each takeoff, effectively zeroing the UA’s altitude at that point

. Consistent

with previously granted exemptions, these requirements ensure that an equivalent level of

safety will be achieved, and an exemption from the requirements of FAR § 191.121 is

therefore appropriate.

Finally, Petitioner seeks an exe mption from FAR § 91.151(a)(1), Fuel requirements

for flight in VFR conditions

, which would require a 30 minute fuel reserve to be maintained.

Technological and durational limitations on UAS battery power means that no meaningful

flight operations can be conducted while still maintaining a 30

- minute battery reserve. The

FAA has previously determined that a requirement prohibiting the PIC from beginning a UAS

flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there was enough available

power for UAS to operate for the intended operational time and to operate after that for at

least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater,

would ensure an equivalent level of safety to the fuel requirements of FAR § 91. 151. Aeryon

Labs Exemption at 12. Nightingale will adhere to the same reserve power requirement and

an exemption from FAR § 91.151’s fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions is therefore

appropriate.

PUBLIC INTEREST VI.

The public interest will be ser ved in several ways by granting Nightingale’s Petition.

First, Congress has established a national policy that favors early integration of UAS into the

National Airspace System in controlled, safe working environments such as those proposed

in this Petiti on. Granting this Petition helps fulfill Congress’ goal in passing Section 333(a)

through (c) of the FMRA; namely, the FAA Administrator's assessment of whether certain

UAS may operate safely in the NAS before completion of the rulemaking required under

Se ction 332 of the FMRA.Petition of Nightingale Intelligent Sy stems

March 4

, 2016

Page 13

The proposed UAS operations in this Petition will also improve safety and reduce risk

by reducing the public’s exposure to danger associated with aerial data collection activities

utilizing full

- size fixed

- wing aircraft and rotorcraf t. Almost all of Nightingale’s small UAS are

battery powered and create no emissions, as compared to much faster, larger, and fuel

powered manned aircraft. Any accident involving Nightingale’s lightweight UAS will present

significantly less danger to the pilot and other individuals on the ground than one involving a

full

- size helicopter or fixed

- wing aircraft.
