The objective ofiSAIAS FROMETA is to provide high quality imaging & filming for coverage of events, film sets, news, scripted and unscripted television sets and landscape, search and rescue, structural inspections ofbridges, pipelines, wells, power lines, cell towers, agricultural fields, enhanced real estate listings, and other building or structural inspections. ISAIAS FROMETA will also provide knowledge ofUAS and promote safe UAS operations.BACKGROUND

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: DnPhantom 3, DnInspire 1UASs ISAIAS FROMETA seeks an exemption to operate DJI systems for compensation or hire within the NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 are vertical takeoffand landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft (UA) with a Ground Control Station (GCS) utilizing electronic tablet or smart phone systems. The Dn Phantom 3 has a maximum gross weight ofapproximately 2 pounds 14 ounces, while having a length of 16 inches width of 16 inches, height of8 inches, and a maximum speed ofapproximately 29 knots. The DJI Inspire 1 has a maximum gross weight of6 pounds 7.5 ounces, a length of 17.3 inches, width of 17.7 inches, height of 1I.8 inches, and a maximum speed ofapproximately 42 knots. The DJI Phantom 3 andDJIInspire IUAs are equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electric motors.

The Dn Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UAs that will be operated by ISAIAS FROMETAwill be registered

in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration ofAircraft, as well as 14 C.F.RPart 47, Aircraft

Registration, and marked in accordance with I4 C.P.R. Part 45, Identification and Registration Markings.

BASIS FORPETITION

Petitioner, ISAIAS FROMETA, pursuantto the provisions ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.P.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain UnmannedAircraft Systems, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 3, DJIInspire I UASs in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).

In consideration ofthe speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, ISAIAS FROMETA operation ofDJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meets the conditions ofFMRA Section 333 andtherefore, will notrequire an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.P.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

Accordingly, ISAIAS FROMETArequests relieffrom Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 9I.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate.

ISAIAS FRO MET A submits thatthe requested reliefis proper since an equivalent level ofsafety will be ensured. ISAIAS FROMETA will use experienced personnel ortechnicians to perform maintenance, alterations, orpreventive maintenance onthe UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire I Instruction Manual). Furthermore, ISAIAS FRO MET A will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UASs.

Relieffrom certain requirements ofSection 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by ISAIAS FRO MET A to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a private pilot orhigher level certificate, as well as an airman medicalcertificate, and who has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight- hour and currency requirements, thatthe PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

ISAIASFROMETA seeks relieffrom Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJIPhantom 3 andDJI Inspire 1UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, ISAIAS FROMETA submits that he will ensure thatthe DJI Phantom 3 and

### DllInspire 1 UASs are in an airworthy condition, priorto every flight, by determining thatthe UASs are in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 andDJI Inspire 1 InstructionManual), and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight.

ISAIAS FROMETA also seeks an exemption from the requirements ofSection 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will nothave a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information ofthe 

### DJI Phantom 3 and 

### DllInspire 1 UAs will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring ofthe flight path. This altitude information, combined with ISAIAS FROMETA operation ofthe 

### DJI Phantom 3 and 

### DllInspire 1 UASs within visual line ofsight, at orbelow 500 feet AGL, will ensure a level ofsafety equivalentto Section 91.121.

Additionally, ISAIAS FROMETA seeks an exemption from the requirements ofSection 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. ISAIAS FROMETA submits that safety will not be affected by operation ofthe 

### DllPhantom 3 and 

### Dll Inspire 1 

### VAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery powerto fly for

a total duration ofapproximately 15.5 minutes to the :frrst point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthatfor at least 4.5 minutes.

In accordance with 14 C.F.R.

The Extent OfReliefiSAIAS FROMETA Seeks And TheReason ISAIAS FROMETASeeks The Relief.



### 1. Extent OfReliefiSAIAS FROMETA Seeks And The Reason ISAIAS FROMETA Seeks Relief

From Section 61.113(a) And (b). Relieffrom Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Private pilotprivileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested to the extentnecessary to allow a PIC holding a private pilot orhigher level certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, to conductthe proposed UAS flight operations for compensation orhire. This reliefis requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation orhire, actas PIC ofan aircraft in connection with any business oremployment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to thatbusiness or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers orproperty for compensation orhire. As set forth more fully below, ISAIAS FROMETA submits that an equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJIPhantom 3 UAS orDJIInspire 1UAS unless thatPIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating thatthe PIC is able to safely operate eitherthe DJI Phantom 3 orDJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as described inthis exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Further, ISAIAS FROMETA submits that all flights ofthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, conducted bythe PIC pursuantto the grant ofthis Petition: (1) will be incidental to ISAIAS FRO META business; and (2) will notcarry passengers orproperty for compensation or hire. 2. Extent OfReliefISAIAS FROMETA Seeks And The Reason ISAIAS FROMETASeeks Relief

From Section 91.7(a). Relieffrom Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, is requested to the extent required to allow ISAIAS FRO MET A to determine thatthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in airworthy condition priorto every flight by ensuringthatthe UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., ISAIAS FROMETAAerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 Instruction Manual). ISAIAS FRO META seeks the requested reliefbecause the DJIPhantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.P.R. Part21, SubpartH. Therefore, ISAIAS FROMETA will ensure thatthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., MonthlyMaintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 andDJIInspire 1 Instruction Manual) prior to every flight, and further, determine thatthe aircraft are in condition for safe flight, as stated in the conditions and limitations below. 3. Extent OfReliefiSAIAS FROMETA SeeksAnd The Reason ISAIAS FROMETA Seeks Relief

From Section 91.121. Relieffrom Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings, may be required to allow flight operations ofthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire l UASs, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UAto the PIC at the ground control station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in feet above ground level (AGL), ISAIAS FROMETA seeks the requested reliefbecause the DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UA's altimeter may be set onthe groundto zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitude, before eachflight.Considering the limited altitude ofthe proposed operations, relieffrom 14 CFR91.121 is soughtto the extent necessaryto comply with the applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As more fully setforth herein, an equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UAs are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a ground level pressure setting willbe established priorto each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information ofthe UA on the heads-up display ofthe GCS. 4. Extent OfReliefiSAIAS FROMETA SeeksAnd The Reason ISAIASFROMETA Seeks Relief

From Section 91.151(b). Relieffrom Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions, is requested to the extentrequired to allow flights ofthe battery powered DJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylighthours invisual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 15.5 minutes to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthat for at least 4.5 minutes. ISAIAS FROMETA seeks the requested reliefbecause without an exemption from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration ofthe battery powered DJI Phantom 3 andDJI Inspire 1 UAs will severely constrain the practicality ofany aerial video or still photo flight operations that ISAIAS FROMETA
proposes to conduct pursuantto this Petition. Significantly, as set forth below, the technical specifications ofthe DJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, the DJIPhantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 operating documents, and ISAIAS FROMETA proposed operating limitations, ensure that ISAIAS FRO MET A will safely operate the battery powered DJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours invisual meteorological conditions (VMC), undervisual flight rules (VFR), with enoughbattery power to fly for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least4.5 minutes. 5. Extent OfReliefISAIAS FROMETA SeeksAnd The Reason ISAIAS FROMETA Seeks Relief

From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply
to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, ISAIAS FROMETArequests relieffrom these Sections because the DJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do notrequire airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJIPhantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UASs meetthe conditions ofFMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, ISAIAS FROMETA will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations,

or preventive maintenance on the UASs usingthe methods, techniques, andpractices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., ISAIAS FRO MET A Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJIPhantom 3 andDJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, ISAIAS FRO MET A wil1 document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 andDJIInspire 1 UASs.

D. TheReasons Why Granting ISAIAS FROMETARequestWould Be In The Public Interest: That Is, How ItWould BenefitThe Public As A Whole.

Granting the presentPetition will further the public interestby allowing ISAIAS FROMETA
too safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial coverage ofevents, film sets,
news, scripted and unscripted television sets and landscape, search and rescue, structural inspections ofbridges, pipelines, wells, power lines, cell towers, agricultural fields, enhanced real estate listings, and other building or structural inspection over certain areas ofthe United States. Additionally, use ofthe DJIPhantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UASs will decrease congestionofthe NAS, reduce pollution, crashes and accidents caused bypilot error andprovide significantbenefits to the economy. Notably, the benefits ofiSAIAS FROMETAproposed operation ofthe 

### Dn Phantom 3 and 

### Dll Inspire 1 UASs will be realized without implicating any privacy issues.

1. The Public WiD BenefitFrom Decreased Congestion OfThe NAS.

The 

### DnPhantom 3 and 

### Dll Inspire 1 UAs are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. Byreducingthe amount ofmanned aircraft neededto perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowingthe use ofa 

### DnPhantom 3 or

### DnInspire 1 UAS would reduce the amount ofmanned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safety oflife and property inthe air and onthe ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number ofmanned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports causedby arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The

### DllPhantom 3 and 

### DJI Inspire 1 UAs do not require an airport to takeoffor land. Likewise, a reduction of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases offlight operations. 2. The Public WiD BenefitFrom The SafetyAnd Efficiency OfThe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI

Inspire 1 UASs. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the 

### DllPhantom 3 and 

### DJI Inspire 1 UASs, instead of manned aircraft, will greatly benefitthe public by drastically reducing the levels ofair and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, the 

### DnPhantom 3 and 

### Dn Inspire 1 UASs produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gallons perhour ofleaded aviation fuel. The 

### DJI Phantom 3 and 

### DllInspire 1 UAs, while reducing the carbon footprint ofaerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAs are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the 

### Dn Phantom 3 and

### Dn Inspire 1 UASs to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air and on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack offlight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the 

### DJI Phantom 3 and 

### Dll Inspire 1 UAs (weighing approximately 2 pounds 14 ounces and 6 pounds 7.5 om1ces respectively, attheir maximum gross weights with lengths of 16 inches and 17.3 inches respectively, widths of 16 inches and 17.7 inches respectively, and with no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property onthe ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft thattypically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan ofapproximately 42 feet, a length of34 feet, and

a fuel capacity of 180 gallons). 3. Performing AerialVideo and Photography Operations With TheDJIPhantom 3 and DJI

Inspire 1 UASs Will BenefitThe Economy. In addition to being safe and efficient, the 

### DJI Phantom 3 and

### DJI Inspire 1 UASs are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation ofthe 

### DJI Phantom 3 and 

### DJI Inspire 1UASs will allow United States based companies, like BOESEPROPERTYMANGEMENT, to remain competitive and contribute to growth ofthe U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost ofaviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels,U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in orderto remain competitive. Operating the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs is

one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility comparedto manned aircraft, butprovides such flexibility without the high operational cost ofa traditional manned aircraft. By operatingthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs, companies such as BOESE PROPERTYMANAGEMENT, can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greaterjob stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved :fmancial performance ofU.S. companies, through commercial use ofthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs, provides a stable workforce that increases

consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to remain competitive both in the United States and abroad. 4. ThereAre No PrivacyIssues.

Similarto the manned aerial acquisition flight operations thathave been conducted for decades, ISAIAS FROMETAproposed operation ofthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1UASs would not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., ISAIAS FRO MET A Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law enforcementnotification, and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.P.R. 

### § 91.119.

E. The Reasons Why GrantingThe ExemptionWould NotAdversely Affect Safety, OrHow The Exemption Would ProvideA Level OfSafetyAtLeastEqual To ThatProvided By The Rule From Which ISAIAS FROMETA Seeks Exemption.

1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs MeetThe Conditions OfThe

FAAModernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA) Section 333. In consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, ISAIAS FRO META operation ofthe DJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs meetthe conditions ofFMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.P.R. Part21, Subpart

### H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users ofthe NAS orthe public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. Specifically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in part:

a. In General. --Notwithstanding any other requirement ofthis subtitle, andnot later than 180 days after the date ofenactment ofthis Act, the Secretary ofTransportation shall determine ifcertain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system before completion ofthe plan and rulemaking required by section 332 ofthis Act orthe guidance required by section 334 ofthis Act. b. Assessment ofUnmanned Aircraft Systems. --In making the determination under subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimumi. Which types ofunmanned aircraft systems, ifany, as a result oftheir size,

weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operation within visual line ofsight do not create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system orthe public or pose a threat to national security; andwhether a certificate ofwaiver, certificate ofauthorization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 oftitle 49, United States Code, is required for the operation ofunmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1).

c. Requirements for Safe Operation. --Ifthe Secretary determines under this section that

certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation ofsuch aircraft systems in the national airspace system.

In seekingthis exemption, ISAIAS FROMETA submits thatthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs can operate safely in the NAS pursuantto FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics ofthe DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations.

DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1User Manuals are attached hereto as Exhibits C andD. vi. Flight Operations OfDJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Are LimitedTo The Line OfSight OfA Certificated Pilotin CommandWith A Safety Observer. ISAIAS FROMETAwill only utilize certificated pilots who possess a current and valid airman medical certificate to act as a pilot in command (PIC) ofthe 

### Dn Phantom 3 and 

### Dn Inspire 1 UASs. Additionally, a safety observer will assist all pilots during flight time. vii. Flights OfDJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 

### 1 UASs WillBe Conducted PursuantTo Specific Operating Limitations. In seekingthis exemption, ISAIAS FROMETAproposes to commercially operate DJIPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs for the special purpose ofconducting aerial video and photography over certain areas ofUnited States, pursuantto the following specific operating limitations: 1. Operations authorized by this grant ofexemption willbe limited to the

following aircraft described in the operating documents, rotorcraftUASs weighing less than 55 pounds maximum gross weight: DJI Phantom 3 andDJI Inspire 1Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this grant. 2. UAS operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for thepurpose ofaerial video and photography. 3. The UAs may not be flown atan indicated airspeed exceeding 20 knots. 4. The UA mustbe operated at an altitude ofno more than 500 feet above ground level (AGL), as indicatedbythe procedures specified in the operating documents unless a special request is made and approved by ATC. All altitudes reported to ATC mustbe in feet AGL. 5. The UAs must be operated within visual line ofsight (VLOS) ofthe PIC
at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device otherthan corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC's FAA-issued airman medical certificate. 6. The use offirst person view (FPV) by the PIC or safety observer (SO) is
notpermitted. 7. All operations must utilize a safety observer (SO). The SO may be used
to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The SO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally
at all times. Electronic messaging or texting is notpermittedduring flight operations. The PIC mustbe designated before the flight and
cannottransfer his or her designation for the duration ofthe flight. The PIC must ensure thatthe SO can perform the functions prescribed in the operating documents. 8. The SO must not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions and is notpermitted to operate the cameraor other instruments. 9. The operating documents and the grant ofexemption mustbe accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. Ifa discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations contained in the grant ofexemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations contained in the grant ofexemption take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, theoperatormust follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update orrevise its operating documents. It is the operator's responsibility to track such revisions andpresent updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. The operator must also present updated andrevised documents ifit petitions for extension or amendmentto the grant ofexemption. Ifthe operator determines that any update orrevision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, thenthe operator must petition for amendment to its grant ofexemption. The FAA'sUAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted ifquestions arise regarding updates orrevisions to the operating documents. 10. Priorto each flight the PIC must inspectthe UAS to ensure that it is in a

condition for safe flight. Ifthe inspection reveals a conditionthat affects the safe operation ofthe UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has beenperformed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Station
must be included in the preflight inspection. All maintenance and alterations must be properly documented in the aircraft records. 11. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the

UAS operation orflight characteristics, e.g. replacement ofa flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make an entry in the aircraft records. 12. The pre-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g.

inoperable components, items, or equipment, not already covered in the relevant sections ofthe operating documents. 13. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer's aircraft/component,

maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. 14. The operator must carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record

keeping requirements, in accordance with the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status ofreplacement/overhaul component parts mustbe noted in the aircraftrecords, including total time in service, description ofwork accomplished, andthe signature of the authorized person returning the UAS to service. 15. Each UASs operated under this exemption must comply with all

manufacturer Safety Bulletins. 16. The authorized person must make an entry in the aircraft record ofthe

corrective actiontaken against discrepancies discovered between inspections. 17. The PIC mustpossess at least a private pilot certificate and at least a

currentthird-class medical certificate. 18. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC meets the

operator's qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with howthe UAS willbe operated under the exemption, including evasive and emergency

maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours mustbe logged in a

manner consistentwith 14 C.P.R. § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes ofthe UAS is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any lawenforcement official upon request. 29. The UA mustremain clear andyieldthe right ofway to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 30. The UAS may not be operatedbythe PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 31. Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipatingpersons (persons otherthanthe PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons), vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are presentthat sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event ofan accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. Ifa situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet ofthe UA, flight operations must cease immediately and/or; b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller ofsuch vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission andthe PIC has made a safety assessment of therisk ofoperating closerto those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard, and;

c. Operations nearer to the PIC, SO, operatortrainees oressential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a). 32. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with permission from the land owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from land owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 33. Any incident, accident, orflight operationthattransgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries ofthe operational area as defmed bythe applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents mustbe reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) perinstructions contained on the NTSB Website: www.ntsb.gov. 

### 2. Reasons WhyAn Exemption FromThe Requirements OfSection 61.113(a) And (b) Would

NotAdversely Affect Safety. ISAIAS FROMETA submits that the equivalent level ofsafety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UASs unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering ISAIAS FROMETAproposed areaofoperations, and the operating limitations set forth-above; the parallel nature ofprivate pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See ExemptionNo. 11062); and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS, ISAIAS FROMETA submits that the additional manned airmanship experience ofa commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for ISAIAS FROMETA specific proposed flight operations. T4e FAA has previously granted relieffrom Section 61.113(a) and (b) specific to UAS, incircumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presentedherein (e.g. ExemptionNos. 11062,11063,11064,11065,11066,11067,11080,11109,11110,11112,11136,11138,11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

### ISAIAS FROMETA will not allow any PIC to operate the DIT Phantom 3 orDJI Inspire 1 UAS unless thatPIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements orthe DIT Phantom 3 orDJIInspire 1 UAS training and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DIT Phantom 3 or DJIInspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.P.R. 

### § 61.51(b), 25 hours oftotaltime as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of5 hours ofthose hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model ofUAS tobe used for operations underthe exemption). In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currencypurposes). As in ExemptionNos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level ofsafety during

### ISAIAS FROMETAproposed operations. The Administrator has heldthat prior documented flight experiencethat was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: In Exemption No. 11062, the FAA required thatprior to conducting operations for the purpose ofmotion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in

a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.5l(b), 25 hours oftotal time as a UAS rotorcraftpilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi-rotor UAS. Priorto operations under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model ofUAS to be used for operations under the exemption. For clarification, the FAA considers these minimumhourrequirements to be inclusive ratherthan additive; i.e. 5 hours make andmodel time may be included inthe 10 hours ofmulti-rotortime and the 10 hours may be included in the total25 hours ofUAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds that at a minimum, the flight hour requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency in the skills necessary to safely conductthe petitioner's proposed operations. The FAA also fmds thatprior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Training, proficiency, and experiencebuilding flights can also be conducted under the grant ofexemption to accomplish the required flight time. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights the PIC is required to operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119.

ExemptionNo. 11138 atpage 15. Accordingly, 

### ISAIAS FROMETAwill ensure safe operations by not allowing any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 orDIT Inspire 1 UAS unless thatPIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DIT Phantom 3 orDIT Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent withthe exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.CONCLUSION ISAIAS FROMETA seeks an exemption pursuantto 14 C.P.R. § 11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA), which willpermit safe operation of the DnPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs commercially, without an airworthiness certificate, for the limited purpose ofconducting coverage ofevents, film sets, news, scripted and unscripted television sets and landscape, search and rescue, structural inspections ofbridges, pipelines, wells, power lines, cell towers, agricultural fields, enhanced real estate listings, and other building or structural inspections

.. By granting this Petition, the FAA Administrator wi11 be fulfi11ing the Congressional mandate ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, while also advancingthe interests ofthe public, by allowing ISAIAS FROMETAto safely, efficiently, and economically operate the DflPhantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercially within the NAS. WHEREFORE, in accordance withthe Federal Aviation Regulations and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, Section 333, ISAIAS FROMETA respectfully requests that the Administrator grant this Petition for an exemption from the requirements ofl4 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.15l(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), and permit ISAIAS FROMETAto operate the DnPhantom 3 and DJIInspire 1 UASs commercially for the purpose ofconducting aerial video and photography over certain areas ofthe United States.
