Petition for exemption under section 333 

The extent of relief you seek and the reason you seek the relief; 

Sec 333 prohibits the use of a UAS for commercial purposes. I am a small business owner and am 

simply petitioning for an exemption to provide a commercial service to private land owners and 

companies (newspapers, tourism, local businesses) ~nd schools and local communities who wish to 

obtain and capture Aerial photos and videos ofevents for purposes including real estate listings, 

community and city events, school sports, community education courses, aerial photography of 

private land owners, and for use as a marketing tool for businesses. I would like to be able to accept 

payment for these services therefore making this a commercial use of a UAS. 
How your request would benefit the public as a whole; 

My request benefits the public as a whole by providing an opportunity for small business owners, 

real estate agents, schools, newspapers, community education and community events and others 

who wish to document their land/property/band/events/races/charity 

drive/tourism/business/sporting/parades. It would allow my local communities to take advantage 

of the technology that now exists in the form of UAS's 

Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety, or how the exemption would 

___ j)!'~~!!fe.a level of s~fety~t least equal to the existing rule; 

This exemption w·ould allow me to request compensation for services rendered. I am the sole pilot 

of my UAS. And first and foremost would not want to cause any harm or fly it in an unsafe or un 

professional manor. I would look to seek a reputable relation with the local community so flying in 

an irresponsible manor and not following guidelines would not benefit my goals. I intend on 

creating flight plans so every flight is pre planned. I intend to follow all guidelines laid out by the 

FAA 

I will follow these guidelines for flying my unmanned aircraft: 

• Always keep aircraft in sight and under control. 

• Always fly below 400 feet 

• Keep away from emergency responders 

• Never fly near another aircraft 

• Never fly over sports stadiums, sport events, or groups of people 

• Never fly under the influence of drugs or alcohol 

• Never fly within 5 miles of an airport without first contacting air traffic control and airport 

authorities

an Unmanned Aircraft to be used for Commercial purposes in regards to National Airspace Safety. I

companies, and communities who wish to obtain and capture Aerial photos and videos of 

community events/property for purposes including real estate listings, tourism/ and for use as a 

marketing tool for businesses. I am a private owner of a OJI Phantom 3 Professional. For 

commercial purposes altitude would never exceed 150 feet (tree height). My UAS has many safety 

features of a modern drone. I thank the FAA for their time and consideration.
