Mr. Charles P. Liebold Jr. Get Creative Group 5803 Beckenham Way Oak Ridge, NC 27310
Dear Mr. Liebold: This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. By letter dated April 22, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf ofGet Creative Group (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an exemption. The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial photography and videography

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. Airworthiness Certification The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a DJI Inspire 1

. The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

−95 in reference to 49 U

.S

.C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the

# 2

aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary. The Basis for Our Decision You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection1



# . The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA

−2014

−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213;  The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and
 A grant of exemption is in the public interest. Our Decision In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Get Creative Group is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act of the Federal Aviation Regulations from part 21, subpart H; and Sections 45.23(b), 91.7(a), 91.9(b)(2), 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).
Dear Mr. Duncan My name is Charles P. Liebold Jr. and I am the founder of Get Creative Group located in Oak Ridge NC. We are a small design, photography and video production business that began in 2008. I am writing pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11, to request that Charles P. Liebold Jr. of the Get Creative Group owner of a unmanned aircraft system (UAS) be granted exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARS) listed within so that I may operate my UAS commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration. This exemption would allow operation of my UAS for the purpose of aerial photography, aerial videography to augment real estate listing video and or real estate property developers. Get Creative Group equipment is a DJIInspire 1 (4) blade quad copter weighing 6 lbs. 7.5 ounces. (see appendix 1) The UAS has a maximum airspeed of 30 knots. Using remote controller operating on frequency 5.728-5.850GHZ/2.400- 2.483GHZ. The Inspire 1 is equipped with built in ground support technology that allows itto fly utilizing GPS for stability, tracking, safe flight mode and return to home feature in the event of loss of remote control signal or critical low battery. All flights start with a pre-flight safety check and all flight data are recorded. The Inspire 1 is equipped with a fixed position camera that sends a live video signal to the controller allowing the (PIC) person in control to monitor real time video. Flight data, speed height, distance, battery level and general aircraft conditions are also displayed during operation. The Inspire 1 battery has a flight time of 12 minutes and istherefore always returned to original take off point and always flown utilizing VLOS. I have invested a considerable amount of money and have logged over 10 hours with this particular UAS and trained 15 hours with other UAS operators equipment and find that this model to be far superior in flight, safety and reliability. My request for exemption would allow me to offer services to my clients at a considerable discount compared to using Helicopters and fixed

1

## wing planes that pose severe safety risk to accomplish the type of aerial coverage needed in the real estate market.

UAS Safety Operating Parameters We will abide by the following additional operating conditions under this exemption, which ensures a level of safety during UAS flight. Operate UAS below 400 feet and within a radius of 1000feet from PIC always maintaining VLOS. Obtain permission from the owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles and Structures when operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet to any such vessels, vehicles or structures; we will conduct a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determine that it does not present an undue hazard. Operate the UAS for 8-12 minutes perflight. Land UAS prior to the manufacturer's recommended minimum level of battery power. Operate UAS during daylight hours only within visual line of sight (VLOS) Utilize the UAS' global positioning system (GPS) flight safety feature whereby it hovers and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control pilot is lost or battery becomes critically low Contact respective airports if operations will be within 5 miles to advise them of h estimated flight time, flight duration, elevation of flight and other pertinent information. Always obtain all necessary permissions prior to operation Have procedures in place to abortflights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger. Review weather reports prior to flight and never operate UAS in unsafe conditions, high wind, low clouds or conditions that hinder visibility. Only operate in safe environments that are strictly controlled, are awayfrom power lines, elevated lights, airports and densely populated areas (defined by areas depicted in "yellow" on VFR charts and through obtaining information regarding congested areas from the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO); Also conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols, during which safety carries primary importance The PIC will also have a minimum of 5 hours logged on this craft and 10 hours minimum flying UAS quad copters under varying conditions and environments and will follow all safety protocol of Get Creative Group as well as guidelines of 14 C.F.R 61.51 (b) having the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with the operating documents, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures as outlined.

## Specific Exemptions Requested Given the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the UA, we feel an exemption from 14 CFR part 21, Subpart H (Airworthiness Certificates) and§ 91.203(a) and (b) (Certifications required), subject to certain conditions and limitations, is warranted and meets the requirements for an equivalent level of safety under 14 CFR part 11 and Section 333 of P

# .L. 112-95 (Section 333).
We request an exemption from§ 45.23 Marking of the aircraft because the UA will not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, the two-inch lettering is difficult to place on such a small aircraft with dimensions smaller than the minimal lettering requirement. Regardless of this, we can mark the UAS in the largest possible lettering by placing the word "Experimental" on its fuselage as required by § 45.29(f) so that anyone will see the markings.
We request an exemption from § 91.7(a) which prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate, since there is currently no certificate applicable to our operation, this regulation is inapplicable.
We request an exemption from§§ 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1 ), 91.409(a)(2) and 91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance inspections since they only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. However, as a safety precaution we will perform a preflight inspection of the UAS before each flight as outlined in the attached operating documents.
We request an exemption from§ 91.9(b)(2) which requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft, however since there are no pilots or passengers on board the aircraft and given its size, this regulation is inapplicable. We believe an equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a safety/flight manual with the UAS ground station.
We request an exemption from § 91.119 which prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft, but it allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. We will not operate our UAS above the altitude of 400 feet above ground level (AGL) and will also only operate in safe areas away from the public and traffic, thus "providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe altitudes." Given the size, weight, maneuverability, and speed of the UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved.



# 3

## We request an exemption from 

# § 91.121 Altimeter settings as it is inapplicable since the UAS utilizes electronic GPS with a barometric sensor.

We request an exemption from 

# § 91.151 (a) Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. The UAV is 100% electric and two low battery alerts are issued

- per the operating documents, the UAV will be landed at the first alert. Also, our flights will last only 8-12 minutes each, and the UAS has an automated function, which results in immediate landing when a low battery is detected. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, land the UA with 30% battery power remaining.
Public Interest Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, but for small business owners, its expense has been cost-prohibitive. By granting this exemption we would be able to provide this service at a much lower cost. Further, our small UAS will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to larger manned aircraft. Additionally, the operation of our UAS will minimize ecological damage and promote economic growth by providing information to companies looking to relocate or build in the metro areas we service. Summary
We will comply with all of the following conditions and limitations should this grant of exemption 

# be provided: 1) Operations will be limited to the following aircraft described in the operating documents which is a quad-rotor aircraft weighing less than 7 pounds: 

# OJ I Inspire 1 Aircraft System. 2) The UAS will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 30 knots. 3) The UAS will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL. 4) The UAS will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the Pilot In Command (PIC) at all times. 5) All operations may utilize a visual observer {VO). The UA will be operated within the visual line of sight {VLOS) of the VO at all times. The VO and PIC will be able to communicate verbally at all times. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight.

The Ground Control Station will be included in the preflight inspection. All maintenance and alterations will be properly documented in the aircraft records. 8) Any UAS maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component, will undergo a functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight will make an entry in the aircraft records. 9) The pre-flight inspection section in the operating documents will account for all discrepancies, i.e. inoperable components, items, or equipment, not already covered in the relevant sections ofthe operating documents. 10) We will follow the UAS manufacturer's aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. 11) We will carry out maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, and alterations will be noted in the aircraft records, including total flight hours, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UAS to service. 12) Each UAS operated will comply with all manufacturer Safety Bulletins. 13) An authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections. 14). The PIC will also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on. 15) Prior to operations conducted for the purpose of aerial videography/cinematography and augmenting real estate listing videos (or similar operations), the PIC will have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51 (b), 16) Prior to operations conducted for the purpose of aerial videography/cinematography and augmenting real estate listing videos (or similar operations), the PIC will have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51 (b), a minimum of 5 hours as UAS pilot operating the make and model of the UAS to be used in operations.
17) The PIC will not operate the UAS for the purpose of aerial videography/cinematography and augmenting real estate listing videos (or similar



# 5

# operations), unless the PIC has demonstrated and logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51 (b), the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with the operating documents, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. 18) UAS operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR 1.1. All operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). 19) The UA will not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart. 20) The UA will 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. 21) If a UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will return to a predetermined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating documents. 22) The PIC will abort a flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents. 23) The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and land the UA with 30% battery power remaining. 24) We will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations, and also request a Notice to Airman (NOT AM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 48 hours prior to the operation. 25) Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UA will comply with the Federal Communications Commission {FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 26) The documents required under 14 CFR 91.9 and 91.203 would be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the UAS is operating. These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 27) The UA will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 28) The UAS will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device orvehicle. 29) The UA will not be operated over congested or densely populated areas. 30) Flight operations will be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. We will ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately and/or; b.

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on OJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details ofeach flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : Pmode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

## Vision Positioning System DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

# Flight

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

## Flight Environment Requirements
1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s,

snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board

compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism,

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. ::!J 

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Right limits on heightand distance can be set. The details ofthese flight limits are described in the following section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the !GAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. Theflight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters.
Max Height 

### & Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the OJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below showthe details ofthese limits.

### Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smallerairports. CategoryASafetyZone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude zones". Flight is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safetyzone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 35 feet {10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 km).
