Relevan t Statutory Authority : This petition for exemption is submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 333(a) through (c) of the Reform Act. Congress has directed the FAA "to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into t he national airspace system." Pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act, the FAA Administrator is to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the National Airspace ("NAS") before completion of the formal UAS rulemaking, base d on the following considerations: • The UAS's size, 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.

If the Se cretary determines that such vehicles "may operate safely in the National Airspace System, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such

aircraft in the National Airspace System".

Additionally, the FAA Administrator has genera l authority to grant exemptions from its safety regulations and minimum standards, and has done so on numerous occasions,

when the Administrator decides a requested exemption is in the public interest. A party requesting an exemption must explain the reaso ns 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).

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, from the requirement that all civil aircraft must have a

current airworthiness certificate and those regulations req uiring commercial pilots t o operate aircraft in commercial service:
The Administrator may grant an exemption from a requirement of aregulation prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) of this section or any of sections.

Qualifications for Approval Under Se ction 333 of the Reform Act The proposed operations in this petition for exemption qualify for expedited approval

under Section 333 of the Reform Act. Each of the statutory criteria and other relevant

factors are satisfied. The prop osed operations would pe rmit Silver Octopus LLC. the use

of small UAS under controlled conditions in airspace that is: (1) predetermined; (2) controlled as to access; and that (3) provides an increased level of safety beyond that existing when fixed or rotor wing aircraft are us ed to accomplish the same purpose.

Silver Octopus LLC. uses sUASs that are m ultirotor, weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. They operate, under normal conditi ons, at speeds not to exceed 87 mph and have the capability to fly, hover, and move in the vertical and horizontal plane. Silver Octopus LLC. sUASs will operate in visual line of sight (VLOS)

, during daylight hours, and will only operate within a sterile area. Silver Octopus LLC. will operate at or
below 4 00 feet AGL and will file a NOTAM for each flight operated in controlled airspace. All required permissions and permits would be obtained from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies prior to opera ting a sUAS.

Given the small size of the sUAS’s involved and the restricted sterile environment within

which they will operate, Silver Octopus LLC. exemption falls within the zone of safety and demonstrates an equivalent level of safety, in which Congres s desired the FAA to permit commercial UAS operations by exemption pending completion of formal rulemaking. Also, due to the size of the sUAS’s and the confined area in which the sUAS’s will operate, approval of the application presents no hazard in the NA S.

Considering the clear direction in Section 333 of the Reform Act, the authority contained

in the Fede ral Aviation Act, as amended, the equivalent level of safety surrounding the proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, the grant of the requested exemptions is also in the public interest.

Operations The applicant proposes that the exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for at least an equivalent or even higher level of safety to operations under the current regulatory structure because the proposed operations represent a safety enhancement to the already safe operations conducted with conventional aircraft.

These limita tions and conditions to which Silver Octopus LLC. agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations under an FAA issued exemption include: 1. The sUAS will weigh less than 55 lbs. 2. Flights will be operated within line of sight (VLOS) of a pic and/ or observer. 3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight w ill be 30 minutes. Flights will

be terminated at 25% battery power reserve should that occur prior to the 30 minute

limit. 4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 40 0 feet AGL or, not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned.5. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUAS Pilot, the Visual Observer, and/or the Camera Operator. 6. sUAS pilot will be an FAA licensed a irman with at least a sport pilot’s certificate and

hold a class 3 medical certificate or a valid driver’s license. 7. sUAS Pilot will be Pilot in Command (PIC). If a pilot certificate holder other than the sUAS Pilot, who possess the necessary PIC qualifi cat ions, is also present (i.e. the

Visual O bserver), that person can also be designated as the PIC.

8. The s UAS will only operate within a confined “Sterile Area” of the flight operations

area. 9. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned sUA S operations prior to each day’s activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties within the boundaries of the safety perimeter be present for this briefing. 10. The operator will obtain the consent of all persons involved and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 100 feet of the flight operation, and this

radius may be reduced to 30 feet based upon an equivalent level of safety

determination. With the advanced permission of the relevant FSDO, operations at closer range can be approved. 11. Pilot and observer will have been trained in operation of s UAS generally and received

up

- to

- date information on the particular s UAS to be operated. 12. Observer and pilot will at all times are able to communicate by v oice or text. 13. Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will be obtained. 14. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcem ent, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies. 15. If the sUAS loses radio communications, the s UAS wil l have the capability to return

to a pre

- determined location within the Security Perimeter and land. 16. The sUAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

17. The s UA S may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point ( ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for

a irports not denoted with an ARP, the center o f the airport symbol as denoted on the

current FAA published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airpor t management must be

made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 18. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the

PIC.The Extent of FAR Relief requested and the equivalent safety.

14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H

– Airworthiness Certificates Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR § 91.203 (a) (1). Given the size and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 of the Reform Act.

The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act both

authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and populated areas of the particular small UAS. In all cases, an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that the small UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricted environment and under the conditions pro posed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 10167A, 10602,

14 CFR 61.315 (a) (b) &(c); Private Pilot Privileges for commercial operations: Pilot in Charge Relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is r equested to the extent necessary to allow a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has met certain flight

- hour and currency requirements, to conduct the proposed UAS fligh t operations for compensation or hire.

This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to thatbusiness or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

Silver Octopus LLC. will have a PIC’s with at least the minimum of sport pilot and third

class airme n medical certificate. The owner of the company holds a private p ilot. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607,
8737, 8738, 10167A, 10602,

14 CFR 91.7 (a)

– Airworthiness required for operation The regulation re quires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy

condition.

As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining

airwort hiness. Given the size of the aircraft for maintenance and use of safety checklists prior to each flight an equivalent level of safety will be provided.

14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2) Civil Aircraft flight manual in aircraft No person may operate a U.S.

- registered civil aircraft ... (2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and plac ards, or any combination

thereof.

The sUAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. The equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to it. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: E xemption Nos. 8607,
8737, 8738, 10167A, 10602,

14 CFR 91.103(b)

– Preflight Action This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety of flight.

As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft an exemption will be needed. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight.

14 CFR 91.109

– Flight instruction Section 91.103 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.

sUASs and remotely piloted aircraft, by th eir design do not have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box thatcommunicates with the aircraft via radio communications. The equivalent level of safety provided by the fact that neither a pilot no r passengers will be carried in the aircraft and by the size and speed of the aircraft. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K & 9862A

14 CFR 91.119 (c), Minimum safe altitudes Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings, subsection (a), states the following, in part: (a) Each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising altitude or flight

lev el of that aircraft, as the case may be, by reference to an altimeter that is set, when operating

-- (1) Below 18,000 feet MSL, to

-- (i) The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 100 nautical miles of the aircraft; (ii) If there is no station within the area prescribed in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, the current reported altimeter setting of an appropriate available station; or (iii) In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the depart ure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure.

Silver Octopus LLC. requests authority to operate at altitudes only up to 400 AGL over uncongested areas. The UA will operate in a limited area within pre

- defined boundaries

with the consent of the landowner/controller and require that all non

- essential persons remain clear of the flight area during operations. The PIC will make a safety assessment of the risk of operating the UA and ensure no undue hazard is present for persons o r property. Considering the size, weight, and speed of the UA, these protections will ensure the equivalent level of safety of minimum safe altitudes. Compared to flight operations for manned aircraft and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated wit h the proposed UA operations is far less than conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 AGL. In addition, the low altitude operations of the UA will ensure separation with conventional

aircraft.

14 CFR 91.121

– Altimeter settings This regulation req uires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by reference to an altimeter that is set “...to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure.”

As the small UAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the safety check list and live flight data monitoring, confirming the

altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight.

14 CFR 91.151(a) (1)

- Fuel requirements for flights in VFR Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning “a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and foreca st 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.”T he battery powering the small UAS provides approximately 30 minutes of powered flight. To meet the 30 minute reserve requirement in 14 CFR §91.151, small UAS flights

wou ld be limited to approximately 0

- 10 minutes in length due to only having 30

- 40 min.

app roximately of battery . Given the limitations on the small UAS’s proposed flight area

and the location of its proposed operations within a predetermined area, a longer time frame for flight in daylight or twilight VFR conditions is reasonable. Applicant bel ieves that an exemption from 14 CFR §91.151(a) falls within the scope of prior exemptions. Operating the small UAS, in a tightly controlled area where only people and property

owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed, with less

than 30 minutes of reserve fuel, does not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151(a)

was intended to alleviate given the size and speed of the s mall sUAS. Sliver Octopus LLC. believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limit ing flights to 30 minutes or 25% of battery power whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the sUAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area.

Similar exemptions have been granted to oth er operations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673, and 10808.

14 CFR 91.203(a) &(b)

– Carrying Civil aircraft certification and registration The regulation provides in pertinent part: (a) Except as provided in § 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate. . . . (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight au thorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew.

The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 55 lbs and is operated without an onboard pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents or to display them on the sUAS. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to them, to the extent they are applicable to the sUAS. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample of other exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and

10700.

14 CFR 91.405 (a) 91.407(a) (1) 91.409 (a) (1) (2) 91.417 (a) & (b)

- Maintenance These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner “shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragr aph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter...,” and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43.

Given that these section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthi ness certificate, these sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator pursuant to the flight manual and operating handbook.An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because these small UASs are very limi ted in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods of time. If mechanical issues arise the small UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL. The operator will ensure that the small UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an

ai rworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accordance with the small UAS Manufacturer's Manual, as referenced in the Aircraft Operatio ns Manual (AOM). As provided in the FOM, the operator will ensure that the small UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight and perform required maintenance needed. (Appendix B contains Maintenance Logs example)

Privacy All flights will occur over private or controlled access property with the property owner’s prior consent and knowledge. Filming will be of people who have also consented to being filmed or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where filming will take place. The grant of this exem ption request will provide improved safety in both day and night operations. Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Sectio n 333 of the Reform Act of

2012

- size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security

– provide more than adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemptions allowing commercial operation of applicant’s UAS.

The public will benefit from the approval as a whole.

The use of smal l light weight sUAS’s to conduct inspections and videography is in the publics interest. sUAS can eliminate the need for a person to go into a hazardous environment for routine inspection or trouble shooting. A sUAS will also cut the environmental impact d ue to its low energy consumption compared to traditional aircraft. The noise pollution from a battery operated sUAS is a small fraction of traditional aircraft. Traditional rotary aircraft, carrying liquid fuel, conducting video, photography and inspection s under 400ft AGL posses a much higher potential of hazard to persons and property than a battery powered sUAS under 55lbs. Emergency operations and disaster response sUAS can minimized the hazards to responders by giving detailed views and

information wit hout sending persons into a dangerous area. Silver Octopus LLC. also believes that the development of new economic avenues of use for the sUAS is important to the US economy as whole. Granting the exemptions would allow Silver Octopus LLC. to operate with the legal regulation provided by the FAA and ensuring that sUAS operations are done in the safest manner possible.

In accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the F ederal Register, should it be determine d that publication is

needed: Applicant seeks an exemption from the following rules: 14 C.F.R. §21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R. 61.315( a) (b) & (c);91.7 (a);91.9 (b) (2); 91.103(b); 91.109; 91.119 (c) ; 91.121; 91.151(a) (1) ; 91.203(a) & (b); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (1) ; 91.409 (a) (2) and 91.417 (a) & (b) to operate commercially a small unmanned vehicle (55lbs or less). Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operations of sUASs, will enhance safety by reducing risk. Conventional operations, us ing jet or piston power aircraft, operate at extremely low altitudes just feet from the subjects being filmed and in extreme proximity to people and structures and present the risks associated with vehicles that weigh in the neighborhood of 4,000lbs, carry ing large amounts of jet A or other fuel. Such aircraft must fly to and from the operational location. In contrast, a sUAS weighing fewer than 55 lbs. and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all of that risk given the reduced mass and lack

of combust ible fuel carried on board. The sUAS is carried to the operation site and not flown. The sUAS will carry no passengers or crew and, therefore, will not expose them to the risks associated with manned aircraft flights. The operation of small UASs, weighting less than 55 lbs., conducted in the strict conditions outlined above, will provide an

e quivalent level of safety supporting the grant of the exemptions requested herein, including exempting the applicant from the requirements of Part 21 and allowing

comme rcial operations. These lightweight aircraft operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in a sterile environment and, as a result, are far safer than conventional operations conducted

.

Conclusion.

Silver Octopus LLC. is seeking an exemption in orde r to utilize sUAS’s in the performance of aerial photography, videography survey and inspection. Industries serviced are both private and commercial in, and not limited to, real estate, marine, construction, agriculture, and energy. Silver Octopus LLC has asked for a broad scope to

continue d eveloping new ways to employ sUAS’s within the structure permitted via the

FAA. Our market shows a large demand for business capable of providing legal services to real estate, construction and surveying. Even more dema nd is found in offering ne innovative ways to employ the technology to other industries. Silver Octopus LLC. has refrained from engaging in commercial use with sUAS. Granting the exemption would allow Silver Octopus LLC. to legally service it’s customers a nd help develop new sUAS uses with the highest standards and in full compliance with FAA regulations.

Thank you for you consideration.
