Application for Section 333 Exemption 

Robert Mark, Ph.D. and Evelyn Billo, DBA Rupestrian CyberServices (RCS) are 

applying for a Section 333 Exe~pti.on to permit the use of an ultralight quadcopter 

(Phanton 2 Vision+) for documenting archaeological sites. RCS is a cultural resource 

management firm dedicated to the documentation and protection of rock art. 

including petroglyphs, pictographs, intaglios, geoglyphs, and rock alignments. We 

assist various government agendes to accomplish this. 

Robert Mark holds a Private Pilot (instrument rating) Certificate, and will act as PIC 

of an unmodified DJ[ Phantom 2 Vision+ quadcopter with prop 

guards(specifications attached). He has 2 years experience flying Phantom 

quadcopters. Evelyn Billa wtll be visual observer and operate the camera from an 

iPad, so that the PIC can pay full attention to flying the UA We intend to fly at or 

below 200 feet, and within 500 feet of the PIC. in remote areas without the presence 

of people unrelated to the project, and without modern structures. Typical speed is 

4 m/ s or less. The .UA will be flown under direct control of the PIC, or using iPad 

software to fly a predetermined grid for photogrammeoy. It will always remron in 

direct view, and any preprogrammed flight can be interrupted for manual control at 

any time. No flights will take place in controlled rorspace. Flights typically will last 

between 5 and 10 minutes, and will, in any case, be terminated before 30% battery 

charge remains. 

Prior to flight. a preflight inspeCtion will include battery and prop status. compass 

calibration, and determination of adequate GPS satellite reception, as well as an · · 

evaluation of weather and GPS conditions. Firmware will be kept upgraded to the 

current versions. 

The UA automaticaliy retums to home if communication is lost, and return-to-home 

. can be initiated at any time by the PIC.
