RE: Exemption Request Se ction 333 of the FAA Reform Act of 2012

In accordance with the FAA ’ s Guidelines for Submitting a Petition for Exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, I Judd Bone, request exemption from the following sections of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations; 61.113(a) ; 61.113(b) ; 91.119(c) ; 91.121 ; 91.151(a) ; 91.405(a) ; 91.407(a)(1) ; 91.409 (a)(1)(2) ; 91.417(a)(b) ,	i n order to operate a small unmanned aircraft commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the purposes of

a erial photography, videography, high school sporting events and other flight operations that could be performed safely and more cost effec tively with the use of small UA (Unmanned Aircraft) at low altitude within t he U.S. national airspace system as compared to a manned aircraft. This would include assisting of local volunteer fire departments, search and

rescue services and city fire departments if called upon, as well as related emergency service agencies, focusi ng on training activities, brush and wild fire locating and surveys, and pre

- action planning for such services in the event of a real emergency. Operations will be performed only at the request of and with the authorization and permission of clients (munic ipalities) or their authorized agents

.

Section 61.113(a) (b) prescribes that

- (a) no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as a pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft. (b) a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if:(1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

Section 91.119 (c) prescribes that

- except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no

person may operate an aircraft below the following altit udes: (c) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. (1 ) A helicopter may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (b) or (c) of this section, provided each person operating the helicopter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA; and (2) A powered parachute or weight

- shift

- control aircraft may be operated at less than the minimums prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section.

Section 91.121 requires, in pertinent part, each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by refer ence to an altimeter that is set “...to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure.” the

UA does not have an altimeter and instead utilizes electronic GPS with a barometric

sensor for altitude info rmation.

91.151(a) As discussed in Exemption 11136 (ADVANCED AVIATION SOLUTIONS LLC) prior relief has been granted for manned aircraft to operate at les s than the prescribed minimums, including Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. In addition, similar U A specific relief has been granted in Exemption Nos. 8811, 10808, and 10673 for daytime,

VFR conditions. The UA provides battery power remainin g in percent to the PIC. The

UA batteries provide approximately 25 minutes of powered flight. Information provide d in the operating documents discusses procedures regarding remaining battery power management. Those documents contain a condition in which the PIC will initiate a landing procedure when battery remaining reaches a specified level. Given the limitations on proposed operations and the location of those proposed operations, The FAA found that a reduced minimum power reserve for flight in daytime VFR conditions was

reasonable.

Section 91.405(a) requires, in pertinent part, that an aircraft operator or owne r shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of the same part and shall, between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of the same section,have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of the chapter.

Section 91.407(a)(1 ) prohibits, in pertinent part, any person from operating an aircraft that has undergone maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration unless it has been approved for return to service by a person authorized under § 43.7 of

the same chapter.

Section 91.409(a) (2) prescribes, in pertinent part, that no person may operate an aircraft unless, within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has had an inspection for the

issuance of an airworthiness certificate in accordance with part 21 of this chapter.

Section 91.417(a) and (b) prescribes, in pertinent part, that

— (a) Each registered owner or operator shall keep the following records for the periods specified in paragraph (b) o f this section: (1) Records of the maintenance, preventive maintenance, and alteration and records of

the 100

- hour, annual, progressive, and other required or approved inspections, as appropriate, for each aircraft (including the airframe) and each engine, propeller, rotor, and appliance of an aircraft. The records must include

— (i) A description (or reference to data acceptable to the Administrator) of the work performed, (ii) The date of completion of the work performed; and (iii) The signature, and certi ficate number of the person approving the aircraft for return

to service. (2) Records containing the following information: (i) The total time in service of the airframe, each engine, each propeller, and each rotor. (ii) The current status of life

- limited parts of each airframe, engine, propeller, rotor, and appliance. (iii) The time since last overhaul of all items installed on the aircraft which are required to be overha uled on a specified time basis. (iv) The current inspection status of the aircraft, in cluding the time since the last inspection required by the inspection program under which the aircraft and its appliances are maintained. (v) The current status of applicable airworthiness directives (AD) and safety directives including, for each, the meth od of compliance, the AD or safety directive number and revision date. If the AD or safety directive involves recurring action, the time and date

wh en the next action is required. (vi) Copies of the forms prescribed by § 43.9(d) of this chapter for each ma jor alteration to the airframe and currently installed engines, rotors, propellers, and appliances.

(b) The owner or operator shall retain the following records for the periods prescribed: (1) The records specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section shal l be retained until the work is repeated or superseded by other work or for 1 year after the work is performed. (2) The records specified in paragraph (a)(2) of this section shall be retained and

transferred with the aircraft at the time the aircraft is sold. (3) A list of defects furnished to a registered owner or operator under § 43.11 of this chapter shall be retained until the defects are repaired and the aircraft is approved for return to service.UA DESCRIPTION :
Yuneec Typhoon Q500+

Weight Without Battery and Payload 40.0 oz (1130g)
Battery 5400 mAh 3S 11.1V LiPo

Transmitter 10

- channel 2.4GHz with 5.8GHz video

downlink 3 Flight Modes Smart, Angle and Home Modes Maximum Flying Height Default 122m (400ft) Above Ground

Level

Maximum Rotation Rate 65°/s Maximum Roll Angle 35° Operating Temperature Range

- 5 °C to 80 °C

The Yuneec Typhoon has integrated “ NO FLY ZONES ” that eliminate the possibility of flying in restricted areas. Some of these areas include a 4

- mile radius of most major airports and all Federally regulated National parks.

The Home Mode is a safety feature that when activated, will return the Q500 to its "home point" and land within a 10 feet circle (3 meters) of where it took off. If for whatever reason the transmitter signal is lost, Home Mode will take over and fly the Q500 back to yo u until it lands or the signal is restored.

POSITION HOLD AND SELF

- LEVELING The Q500 + will automatically hold its position (with a suitable GPS signal/lock) and

maintain a level attitu de when the right

- hand stick is centered.

The Yuneec Q500+ is 4 rotor UA powered by 4 electric motors with a maximum air speed of 15.4mph in GPS mode (Smart, Angle, Home).

TRANSMITTER RECORDINGS The Q500+ has the ability to record flight telemetry da ta from every flight via micro SD card installed in the TX (transmitter)

. The TX also records low

- resolution video to help

recover the UA ion case of a crash.

TRANSMITTER WARNINGS The TX for the Q500+ gives a low battery indication; the transmitter also shows a

number value for satellites that have been “locked” on to for safe operation. The unit will not allow the UA to start if an adequate number of satellites locked are not present.I, Judd Bone continue to fly as a hobbyist until my request for Exemption is granted, building experience, flight time and knowledge to be tter understand and prepare myself as a pilot for worse case scenario conditions. With that being said I understand the limitations that this particular UA can and will fly in safely. I DO NOT and never plan to

exceed the limitations of the aircraft theref ore making every flight as safe as I possibly can for my surrounding and myself. With every flight I intend to observe all pre

- flight safety checks of the UA, safety measures to include collision avoidance of all man made and hazardous objects and to main tain communication with the UA by line of sight. A flight log will be kept of all non

- hobby flights via micro SD card and/or a stored file kept on a personal and/or business computer.

Thank you for your time and consideration on my petition for an exempti on.
