 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-1081

Dear Mr. Lutz:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition for an amendment. It explains 

the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists any changes to the original conditions 

and limitations.

By letter dated May 4, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 

behalf of bizUAS Corp (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an amendment to your current 

exemption. That exemption from §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 

61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and 

(2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows the 

petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection. You requested an amendment 

to add the DJI Phantom 3, service-drone Recon One, and service-drone Blackbird.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons 

relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition 

in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a 

precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner. The 

unmanned aircraft authorized in the original grant are comparable in type, size, weight, speed 

and operating capabilities to those in this petition.

Airworthiness Certification

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112−95 in 

reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited 

operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation 

has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA 

finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, 

Subpart H—Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing 

requirements of part 36, is not necessary.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 11351

remains valid and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority contained 

in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, the operator is 

granted an amendment to add new aircraft to its UAS operations.

The operator shall add this amendment to its original exemption.

 

Conditions and Limitations

All conditions and limitations within Grant of Exemption No. 11351 remain in effect except 

as follows. Condition No. 1 has been updated to reflect the additional aircraft. 

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be 

grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption. 

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the Multirotor servicedrone G4 Eagle, DJI Phantom 2, Altavian Nova F6500, DJI Phantom 3, service-drone 

Recon One, and service-drone Blackbird when weighing less than 55 pounds 

including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new 

petition or a petition to amend this exemption.

This exemption terminates on April 30, 2017, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,

/s/

Application to Amend

Section 333 Exemption No. 11351

Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-1081

Greetings,

By letter from the FAA dated April 17, 2015, an exemption was granted to bizUAS Corp for relief under 

Section 333. That letter was marked Section 333 Exemption No. 11351 Regulatory Docket No. FAA2014-1081. 

bizUAS Corp hereby requests that the exemption so granted be amended to include service-drone 

Surveying Robot. Relevant facts and reasoning are:

 Surveying Robot is part of service-drone’s G4 family of industrial-grade, mission-proven (in 

Europe) multirotor UAS. All service-drone G4 UAS use the same flight control and RC 

transmitter category and are built with similar components. The G4 family includes the servicedrone Eagle V2 which was approved under bizUAS’ FAA Exemption No. 11351. The Eagle is 

larger (in terms of rotor diameter and AUW) than the Surveying Robot.

 The findings, rationale and conclusions contained in FAA’s Exemption No. 11351 apply without 

modification to this application to include service-drone Surveying Robot in Exemption No. 

11351.

Thank you for your consideration of this important request. Please advise us of any additional 

information that may be required.

Sincerely,

Bernd Lutz, PhD

CEO, bizUAS Corp
