Re: Petition of Curve and Line LLC for an Exemption Pursuant to Section 333 of

the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012

Dear Sir or Mada m :

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 ("Reform Act") and 14 C.P.R. Part 11, Curve and Line LLC hereby applies fo r an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") identified below, to allow commercial operations of small

- unmanned aerial vehicles.

This exemption is made based on information outlined in this petition, as well as the accompanying DJI Inspi re I Operators Manual (Appendix B) and the Curve

and Line LLC Operational Limitations (Appendix C). The DJI Inspire I UAS was selected because it has a proven capability for controlled flight as well as a gyro stabilized flight mode, GPS aided navigation, a compass, blinking LED’s on the bottom, a failsafe mode for returning home, and prop guards. These devices are offered for general sale around the world and have often been used as Model

Aircraft in the USA.

Specifically, the UAS is:

A lightweight (< 7.0 lb gross weight with all on

- board equipment), battery operated 4

- motor rotorcraft in the form of a quadcopter that takes off and lands vertically, manufactured by DJI, Model Inspire I

, with the following equipment:

• An on

- board flight computer with GPS navigation and location ability that receives signals for flight controls from a ground

- based transmitter/controller;

• An on

- board camera capable of capturing imagery in the form of full color, high definition stil l photos and video;

• An on

- board telemetry system that delivers flight data from the on

- board flight computer to the on

- board radio transmitter including altitude AGL, horizontal and vertical speed, compass direction of flight and direction

back to its lau nch site;

• A 600mW, 5.8GHz on

- board radio transmitter that transmits live video

from the on

- board camera plus all the flight data from the telemetry system described above;The Ground Station Includes:

• A Pilot in Command (PIC) in operational control of a flight operation from beginning to end and who controls the UAS while in the air;

• A 100mW, 2.4GHz radio transmitter/controller operated by the PIC to control the UAS while in flight;

• A radio receiver r eceiving live video and flight data from the on

- board camera and computer projects it all together onto a screen for the PIC to view during flight;

• A Visual Observer (VO) is a person who provides a second pair of eyes to visually track the UAS while in f light.

Proposed Operations

Curve and Line LLC intends to use UAS in three general areas. First, Curve and

Line LLC seeks an exemption to perform video filming and photographing by air for public and private use. Second, it will employ UAS’s to inspect land, residential commercial and industrial structures and property. Third, Curve and

Line LLC seeks permission to use UAS to offer training to persons, from both private and public entities, which are interested in the safe operation of UAS.

Specificall y, Curve and Line LLC will use UASs, which are equipped with cameras and sensors, in order to engage in the following commercial activities:

(a) Video filming by air and photographing for public and private purposes, including: television, cinematography, ad vertising, promotions, public or

news mass events.

(b) Video filming by air and photographing to support professional operations in engineering, land surveying, architecture, real estate and other related professional activities.

(c) Inspections by air of agricultural areas.

(d) Inspections by air of infrastructure such as bridges, highways, electrical installations, dams, aqueducts, photovoltaic power stations, wind farms and pipes. These inspections will only be done under contract with the owners or with any local government authority.

(e) Inspection by air of land and residential, commercial and industrial structures, only under contract with the owners or with any local government authority.(f) Inspections by air to detect sources of pollution and gas emissions, under contract with the owners in the area or with any local government authority.

(g) Support provided to search and rescue operations and reconnaissance

in cases of n eed, emergency or natural disasters and only when government authorities have requested it by contract or donation.

(h) Curve and Line LLC is passionate about offering training to persons, private and public entities, which are intere sted in the safe use of UASs, for purposes of enhancing the skills and safety controls which make the NAS safer and for the protection of persons and property.

Relevant Statutory Authority

This Petition for Exemption is submitted pursuant to Section 333(a) through (c) of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 ("Reform Act"). Congress has directed the FAA "to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system." Pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act, the FAA Administrator is to permit unmanned aircraft systems to operate in the National Air Space ("NAS") where it is safe to do so based on the following considerations:

• The UAS’s s ize, weight, speed and operational capability;

• Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; and

• Operation of the UAS within the visual line of sight of the operator.

Additionally, the FAA Administrator has general auth ority to grant exemptions from the agency's safety regulations and minimum standards when the Administrator decides a requested exemption is in the public interest. See 49 U.S.C. § 106(f) (defining the authority of the Administrator); 49 U.S.C. § 44701(f) (permitting exemptions from§§ 44701(a), (b) and§§ 44702

- 44716,et seq.). A party requesting an exemption must explain the reasons why the exemption: (1) would benefit the public as a whole, and (2) would not adversely affect safety (or how it would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rules). See 14 C.F.R. § 11.81 (petitions for exemption).

Curve and Line LLC Proposed UAS Operations Meet the Requirements of

Section 333 of the Reform Act

Curve and Line LLC proposed operations in this Pe tition for Exemption qualify for expedited approval pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act as each of the statutory criteria and relevant factors are satisfied.Approval is Warranted Based on the UAS Size, Weight, Speed, and Operational Capability

Cu rve and Line LLC will employ the DJI Inspire I quadcopters for the operations specified in this Petition for exemption. The Inspire I UASs have a maximum

take

- off weight of less than 7 pounds, the flight speed will not exceed 35 miles per hour, and it will not be flown in controlled airspace or at an altitude that exceeds 400 feet AGL. All flights will be flown in such a way that they can be safely terminated with a reserve battery power of 25% of the battery's maximum charge. The DJI Inspire I UAS do not c arry any flammable propellant or fuel. The Inspire I UAS also has an integrated GPS system that calculates the UAS’s position and height and relays that information via a secure connection to the operator. Additionally, the Inspire I UAS contain a failsafe mode if its connection to the remote control is lost, and this system permits the UAS to return to a predetermined location and land without injury or damage. For additional safety,

the Inspire I will be retrofitted with prop guards.

Approval is Warranted Based on the Operational Restrictions Set Forth in the Operations Manual.

The Curve and Line LLC Operations Limitations and the DJI's operator’s manual contain all of the procedures and limitations necessary to successfully perform the operations specified in this Petition for Exemption. (Ap pendices B &C).

Public Interest

Granting Curve and Line LLC Petition for Exemption will serve the public interest

. Congress has established a national policy that favors early integration of UASs into the NAS in controlled, safe working environments such as those proposed in this Petition. In addition, the public also has an interest in reducing the hazards

a ssociated with alternate methods of conducting similar operations. Currently operations are conducted using teams that physically climb onto structures using ladders, using low flying helicopters or aircraft, or simply not available by

traditional means. B y using UAS, exposure to physical hazards will be reduced of conducting the operation while remaining safely on the ground. Additionally, Curve and Line LLC intended uses for the UAS’s have identifiable safety benefits that include reducing the danger and emissions associated with full size helicopters, UAS have no fuel to ignite or explode, no crew, adds a greater degree of flexibility, which supplements the current capabilities offered by manned aircraft, and public interest for a ground impact for of a small lightweight UAS is further minimized from an ecological and safety standpoint.

Federal Register Summary

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication

in theFederal Register, should it be determined that public ation is needed:

Curve and Line LLC seeks an exemption from the following rules:

Parts 21; §§ 45.23(b); 27; 61.113(a) and (b); 61.3; 91.7(a); 91.9(b)(2); 91.103; 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a) and (b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409(a)(2 ); and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).

The exemption will enhance safety by reducing risk to the general public and property owners from the substantial hazards associated with performing equivalent work with conventi onal aircraft, rotorcraft, or other methods.

Conclusion

Curve and Line LLC Petition for Exemption satisfies the criteria articulated in

Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012 including weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas, operation within visual line of sight and national security. Additionally, the Petition provides more than adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemptions to permit Curve

and Line LLC to operate the selected U AS for the operations specified herein.

Granting the exemption will benefit the public interest as a whole in several ways, including (1) significantly improving safety and reducing risk by alleviating human exposure to danger, and (2) improving the qual ity of services and decreasing operating costs compared with conventional flight operations.

Respectfully,

Frank Mastrandrea 3625 Elwing Ave Eugene, OR 97401 Mastf7@gmail.com

Appendix A

The regulations from which the exemption is requested are listed below. Beside each regulation number is the page of the attached Appendix A upon which each may be found together with our proposed equivalent level of safety for each regulation:Parts 21,§§ 45.23(b); 27, 61.113(a) and (b) 61.3; 91.7(a); 91.9(b)(2); 91.103; 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a) and (b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409(a)(2); and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR).

Exemptions Requested

The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to issue exemptions. This statutory authority, by its terms, includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is defined under§ 40101 of the Act, including UASs, from its safety regulations and minimum sta ndards when the Administrator decides a requested exemption is in the public interest.

Curve and Line LLC seeks an exemption from several interrelated provisions of 14 C.F.R. Parts 21, 27, 45, 61 and 91 for purposes of conducting the requested operations using a UAS. Listed below are the specific sections of 14 C.F.R. for which exemption is sought:

14 C.F.R . Part 21, Subpart H

- Airworthiness Certificates

The FAA has stated that no exemption is needed from this section if a finding is made under the Reform Act that the UAS selected provides an equivalent level of safety when compared to aircraft normally u sed for the same application. (Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352). These criteria are met, and therefore no exemption is needed.

Equivalent Level of Safety

The UAS selected by Curve and Line LLC is safe when taking into account their size, weight, speed, and operational capability. The UAS weigh less than 7 pounds and will be flown at less than 35 miles per hour and completely outside controlled airspace. Additionally, the UAS carry neither pilot s nor passengers, carry no explosive materials and or flammable liquid fuels, and operate exclusively within the parameters stated in the Operator’s Manual and Operations Limitations.

Operations under this exemption will be closely controlled and monitore d by the operator and will be conducted in compliance with local public safety requirements, to provide security for the area of operation. Curve and Line LLC will also provide the FAA with advance notice of all operations via NOTAMS and

coordination with the local FSDO. In all cases, the UAS operated under the proposed conditions, will be at least as safe as, or safer than conventional rotorcraft operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions of the proposed UAS operati ons.

14 C.F.R. Part 27 Airworthiness Standards: Normal Category Rotorcraft14 C.P.R. Part 27 sets forth the procedural requirements for airworthiness certification of normal category rotorcraft. To the extent the Curve and Line LLC

UAS would otherwise re quire certification under Part 27, we seek an exemption

from Part 27's airworthiness standards for the same reasons identified in the request for exemption from 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

14 C.F.R. §§45.23 (b), Display of marks; general

These regulatio ns provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's registration number in letters at least 2 inches high. Additionally, the aircraft must display the word "EXPERIMENTAL" in letters at least 2 inches high near the entrance to the cabin, cockp it, or pilot station. The UAS does not have an entrance in which the word "EXPERIMENTAL" can be placed, and may not have a registration number assigned to it by the FAA.

In a previous Grant of Exemption, Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352, the FAA determined that exemption from these requirements was warranted provided that the aircraft "have identification (N

- Number) markings i n accordance with 14 C.F.R part 45, Subpart C if the markings are as large as practicable."

14 CFR § 61.113 (a) and (b ) : Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations, Medical

Certificate

In addition, Curve and Line LLC seeks exemption from 14 C .F.R § 61.113, which restricts private pilot certificate holders from flying aircraft for compensation or hire, and which would also require a second class medical certificate. The purpose of this section is to ensure the skill and competency of any PIC wh ere the aircraft is carrying passengers or cargo for hire. In this case, while the UAS will be operated as part of a commercial operation, it carries neither passengers nor cargo. In the Grant of Exemption in FAA Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352, the

FAA determine d that the unique characteristics of UAS operation outside of controlled airspace did not warrant the additional cost and restrictions attendant with requiring the PIC to have a commercial pilot certificate and class II medical certificate. Additionally, i nstead of having a second or third class medical, we suggest that the PIC exercise the privileges similar to that of a sport pilot, requiring only a valid US driver’s license.

Safety Mitigation

Petitioner seeks to ensure safe operation by ensuring that any PIC is thoroughly versed in airspace and communication issues pertaining to all aircraft operators but also in the unique aspects of UAS flight.

14 C.F.R. § 91.7 (a): Civil Aircraft Airworthin essCurve and Line LLC seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a), which requires that a civil aircraft be in airworthy condition to be operated. The FAA has stated (Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352) that no exemption is required to

the extent that th e requirements of Part 21 are waived or found inapplicable.

14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft

Given its size, configuration, and load capacity, the Inspire I has no ability to carry such a manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is simply no room or capacity to carry such an item on the

aircraft.

Safety Mitigation

The safety related purpose of this manual requir ement can be equally satisfied by maintaining the Inspire I Manual at the ground control point where the pilot flying the Inspire I will have immediate access to it. Accordingly, we request an exemption from § 91.9(b) (2)'s flight manual requirements, on t he condition that

the Inspire I flight manual be available at the control point during each operation.

14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action

Curve and Line LLC seeks an exemption from 14 C.P.R.§ 91.103, which requires a PIC to become familiar with specifi c information before each flight, including

information contained in the FAA

- approved Flight Manual on board the aircraft. While the PIC will be familiar with all information necessary to safely conduct the flight, an exemption is requested to the extent t hat an FAA

- approved Flight manual is required.

Safety Mitigation

An equivalent level of safety will be provided by following the Aircraft Operations Manual and flight manual provided by the manufacturer. The PIC will take all required preflight actions

- including performing all required checklists and reviewing weather, flight requirements, battery charge, landing and takeoff distance, aircraft performance data, and contingency landing areas

- before initiation of flight. The Operators Manual and Operation al Limitations will be kept at the ground station with the operator at all times.

14 C.F.R. § 91.109 (a): Flight Instruction

Curve and Line LLC seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.109(a), which provides that "no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." UAS and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design, donot have functional dual controls. Instead, flight control is accomplished through

the use of a device that communicates with the aircraft via radio communications.

Safety Mitigation

Given the size and speed of the UAS employed by Curve and Line LLC , an equivalent level of safe training can still be performed without dual controls because no pilot or passengers are aboard the UAS, and all persons will be a safe distance away in the event that the UAS encounters any d ifficulties during flight instruction. In addition, we will conduct flight training at our Research and Development test sites, which are located on its own property. These training flights will be conducted in a sterile area and will otherwise comply with the provisions in the Operator’s Manual for flights at the R&D facility. The FAA has stated (Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352) that no exemption is required.

14 C.F.R. § 91.119 : Minimum Safe Altitudes

Curve and Line LLC requests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119. Section 91.119 prescribes the minimum safe altitudes under which aircraft may not operate, including 500 feet above the surface and away from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure in non

- conges ted areas. See 14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c). Section 91.119(d) allows for a helicopter to operate at less than those minimum altitudes when it can be operated "without hazard to persons or property on the surface," provided that "each person operating the helicop ter complies with any routes or altitudes specifically prescri bed for helicopters by the FAA.

Safety Mitigation

Compared to flight operations with rotorcraft weighing far more than the maximum weights proposed herein, and given the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those that presently exist with conventional aircraft. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the UAS, as well as the location where it is operate d. In order to avoid any risk to aircraft, flight operations will be restricted to 400' AGL

or below.

14 C.F.R. § 91.121 : Altimeter Settings

This petition seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.121, which requires a person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude or flight level by reference to an altimeter that is set to the elevation of the departure airport or barometric pressure. An exemption is required to the extent that the UAS do not have a barometric altimeter, but rather a GPS a ltitude read out.Safety Mitigation

The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved if the UAS will be operated at 400' AGL or below and within visual line

- of

- sight in addition to GPS based altitude information relayed in real time to the operator. See Grant of Exemption to Astraeus Aerial, Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352. As the attached Operations Manual indicates, the chosen UAS meets these requirements, and a zero altitude initiation point will be obtained prior to flight

14 C.F.R. § 9 1.151 (a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions

Curve and Line LLC requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.15l(a)'s fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Section 91.151 states:

(a) No person may begin a flight in an airplane under VF R conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed

–

(1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or

(2) At night , to fly after that for at least 45 minutes.

Here, the technological limitations on UAS battery power means that no meaningful flight operations can be conducted while still maintaining a 30 minute

reserve. Curve and Line LLC proposes that all flights com ply with this requirement by mandating that the aircraft be safely landed with no less than 25% of battery life remaining.

Safety Mitigation

The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety is provided if the UAS flight

is terminated with at least 2 5% reserve battery power still available. See Grant of Exemption to Astraeus Aerial, Docket No. PAA

- 2014

- 0352. The Operations Manual conforms to this limit, providing an equivalent level of safety.

14 CFR 91.203(a) & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications req uired.

The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers

or crew."

At a maximum gross weight of less than 7 pounds, the UAS is too small to carry documentation, does not have an entrance, and is not capable of carrying

passengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intentof 91.203, we propose that documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft by the

FAA will be co

- located with the crew at the ground control station and available for inspection upon requ est. The FAA has stated (Regulatory Docket No. FAA

2014

- 0352) that no exemption is required.

14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409(a)(2); and 91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance Required

Curve and Line LLC seeks an exemption from the maintenance inspection requirements contained in 14 C.P.R.§ 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b). These regulations specify maintenance and inspection standards in reference to 14 C.P.R. Part 43. See, e.g., 14 C.P.R. § 91.405(a) (stating that each owner or o perator of an aircraft "[s]hall have the aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections ...have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter"). An exemption from these regulations is nee ded because Part 43 and these sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which the

UASs will not have.

Safety Mitigation

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accor dance with the Operators Manual. As provided in the Operators Manual, flights will not be conducted unless a flight operations checklist is performed that includes all of the aircraft's components.
