AMENDMENT TO: Exemption No. 15134 dated March 03, 2016 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

– 2015

– 6311

Dear Sir or Madam:

Michael Bogue, on behalf of Oculair Photo, is hereby requesting an amendment to Exemption No. 15134 (“Application”) also filed under Regulatory Docket FAA

- 2015

- 6311 to also include

the UAS :



### • DJI Phantom 4



### • DJI Phantom 3



### • DJI Inspire 1



### • DJI Inspire 1 Pro



### • DJI Spread Wings S900



### • DJI S pread Wings S 1000



### • 3DR Solo

The UAS proposed by the petitioner and granted exemption by the FAA in the initial application was the DJI Phantom 2. The DJI Phantom 4, DJI Inspire 1 , DJI Inspire 1 Pro

, DJI Spreading Wings S900, DJI Spre ading Wings S1000, and 3DR Solo expand upon the safety features

available in the DJI Phantom 2. All previous items and actions allowed by the exemption granted

will be followed with these UAS.

a. DJI Phantom 4 Design and Operational Characteristics:

• Oculair Photo plans to additionally operate a DJI Phantom 4 comprised of an unmanned aircraft and a transportable ground station. This aircraft is a quad

- copter design with gross weight (battery and propellers included) of 1380g (3.0423 lbs. ).

• The Phant om 4 has an integrated camera for capturing aerial still photographs and videos.

• It is equipped with four rotors that are driven by battery

- powered electric motors. Maximum airspeed is 44.73 mph.

• The Phantom 4 includes a Failsafe Function. It activat es if the Remote Control is powered off, the Phantom 4 has flown outside effective control range, the signal between the Phantom 4 and the Remote Control is blocked, or if there is interference causing a signal problem. When activated, the

Failsafe Functio n automatically flies the Phantom 4 back to the Home Point (the start location) and 

### 1lands it. If GPS mode is not active, the Failsafe Function will execute a controlled descend and automatic landing.

• Through the Phantom 4 Assistant software, each flight operation will be programmed with a maximum radius distance and maximum altitude from the Home Point such that the flight control system will limit operations to within the confines set.

b. DJI Phantom 3 Design and Operational Characteristics:

• Oculai r Photo plans to addi tionally operate a DJI Phantom 3 comprised of an unmanned aircraft and a transportable ground station. This aircraft is a quad

- copter design with gross weight (battery and propellers included) of 1280 g (2.8219 lbs. ).

• The Phantom 3 h as an integrated camera for capturing aerial still photographs and videos.

•It is equipped with four rotors that are driven by battery

- powered electric motors. Maximum airspeed is 44.73 mph.

• The Phantom 3 includes a Failsafe Function. It activates if t he Remote Contr ol is powered off, the

Phantom 3 has flown outside effective control range, the signal between the Phantom 3 and the Remote Control is blocked, or if there is interference causing a signal problem. When activated, the

Failsafe Function a utomatically flies the Phantom 3 back to the Home Point (the start location) and lands it. If GPS mode is not active, the Failsafe Function will execute a controlled descend and automatic landing.

• Through the Phantom 3 Assistant software, each flight op eration will be programmed with a maximum radius distance and maximum altitude from the Home Point such that the flight control system will limit operations to within the confines set.

c . DJI Inspire 1 Design and Operational Characteristics:

• Oculair Photo plans to additionally operate a DJI Inspire 1 comprised of an unmanned aircraft and a transportable ground station. This aircraft is a quad

- copter design with gross weight (battery and propellers included) of 3400g (7.5 lbs.).

• The Inspire 1 has an integrated camera for capturing aerial still photographs and videos.

• The Inspire 1 is equipped with four rotors that are driven by battery

- powered electric motors. Maximum airspeed is 40 mph.

• The Inspire 1 includes a Failsafe Function. It activates if the Remote Control is powered off, if the Inspire 1 has flown outside effective control range, the signal between the Inspire 1 and the Remote Control is blocked, or if there is interference causing a signal problem. When activated, the Failsafe

Functio n automatically flies the Inspire back to the Home Point (the start location) and lands it. If GPS mode is not active, the Failsafe Function will execute a controlled descend and automatic landing.

• Through the Inspire 1 Assistant software, each flight o peration will be programmed with a maximum radius distance and maximum altitude from the Home Point such that the flight control system will limit operations to within the confines set.

d . DJI Inspire 1 Pro Design and Operational Characteristics: 

### 1• Ocul air Photo plans to additionally operate a DJI Inspire 1 Pro comprised of an unmanned aircraft and a transportable ground station. This aircraft is a quad

- copter design with gross weight (battery and propellers included) of 3400g (7.5 lbs.).

• The Inspire 1 Pro has an integrated camera for capturing aerial still photographs and videos.

• The Inspire 1 Pro is equipped with four rotors that are driven by battery

- powered electric motors. Maximum airspeed is 40 mph.

• The Inspire 1 Pro includes a Failsafe Fun ction. It activates if the Remote Control is powered off, if the Inspire 1 Pro has flown outside effective control range, the signal between the Inspire 1 Pro and the Remote Control is blocked, or if there is interference causing a signal problem. When act ivated, the Failsafe Function automatically flies the Inspire back to the Home Point (the start location) and lands it. If GPS mode is not active, the Failsafe Function will execute a controlled descend and automatic landing.

• Through the Inspire 1 Pro A ssistant software, each flight operation will be programmed with a maximum radius distance and maximum altitude from the Home Point such that the flight control system will limit operations to within the confines set.

e . DJI Spread Wings S1000 Design and Operational Characteristics:

• Oculair Photo p lans to additionally operate a D JI S1000 comprised of an unmanned aircraft and a transportable ground station. This aircraft is an octo copter design with gross weight (battery and propellers included) of 7900g (17.417 lbs.).

• The 3DR Solo includes a Failsafe Function. It activates if the Remote Control is powered off , if the 3DR Solo has flown outside effective control range, the signal between the 3DR Solo and the Remote Control is blocked, or if there is interference causing a signal problem. When activated, the Failsafe Function automatically flies the 3DR Solo bac k to the Home Point (the start location) and lands it. If GPS mode is not active, the Failsafe Function will execute a controlled descend and automatic landing.

• Through the 3DR Solo Assistant software, each flight operation will be programmed with a

max imum radius distance and maximum altitude from the Home Point such that the flight control system will limit operations to within the confines set.

Summary of requested relief:

The petitioner, Michael Bo gue, on behalf of Oculair Photo, seeks an amendmen t to Exemption No.

15134 under Docket No. FAA

- 2015

- 6311 in order to capture higher quality aerial photography and video of real estate and events. The additional aircraft are the: DJI Phantom 4, DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspire 1, DJI Inspire 1 Pro, DJI S preading Wings S 1000, DJI Spreading Wings S900 and 3DR

Solo.

Because the requested amendment would not set any precedent or otherwise raise any new issues, and all the UAS’s listed above have been approved in other/prior exemptions, Oculair Photo

respect fully requests the FAA to determine that good cause exists to grant the requested amendment by summary means.

If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me at mpbogue@oculairphoto.com or (310) 775
