Eleview LLC intends to incorporate the use ofsUAS's (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems) for a variety of projects which include but not limited to; real estate, construction management, inspections and progress monitoring, farming, environmental review projects, surveying, agricultural projects, educational and research projects, remote sensing projects, wildlife monitoring, forestry monitoring projects and aerial virtual tours. Specific Section(s) seeking exemption:
14 C.F.R Part 21 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b) 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) and (b) 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2) 14 C.F.R. 91.10914 C.F.R. 91.119 14 C.F.R. 91.121 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) and (b) 14 C.F.R. 91.215 14 C.F.R. 91.104 through 91.417

To permit commercial operation ofSmall Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs) for operations
conducted within and underthe conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA

as required by Section 333.
Said exemption would permitthe operation ofsUASs under controlled conditions in limited, predetermined and controlled airspace. Upon granting ofthis proposed exemptionrequest, EleviewLLC would conductcommercial operations ofsUASs meeting orexceeding all operational and safetyrequirements per Section 333. Public Benefit:
1. Project and construction management, inspections and monitoring. The use ofsUASs on construction sites may improve the safety ofworkers, local residents and general public by assessing potential dangerous situations. Falls and injuries may be reduced or eliminatedthrough
a more thorough review ofthe construction sites. In some cases, sUASs may reduce the reliance ofhelicopters or small aircraft to monitor said sites. This may improve safety as well as reduce environmental impactby reducing energy usage; 2. Environmental Review projects. The use ofsUASs during the process ofreviewing projects as required by 24 C.F.R. 50.4, 58.5 and 58.6 would provide a more in-depth Environmental Review oftheproject site as well as surrounding areas. Reliance ofhelicopters or small aircraftmay be eliminated;
3. Aerial surveying. The use ofsUASs in connection with aerial surveying ofsmaller areas may eliminatethe use ofhelicopters or aircraft. This couldprovide a more cost effective, safer and
more energy efficientproduct;
4. Agricultural projects. Wildlife and Forestryprojects. The use ofsUASs could assist with surveying agricultural projects as well as wildlife and forestry projects by providing information whenproblems occur, vermin infestation, fire hazards, etc.;Page

5. Remote Sensing projects. The use ofsUASs couldprovide views and information for remote and inaccessible areas. This couldpromote worker safety as well as reduce the reliance on helicopters and aircraft;
6. Educational and Research projects. The use ofsUASs could provide information for said projects in a more cost effective and efficient mannerthan other available options;
7. Aerial filmmaking, photography and real estate purposes. The use ofsUASs may provide a pointofviewpreviously unavailable through othermeans. They would be more cost effective, efficient and more safely than helicopters and aircraft; and
8. Search and rescue. The use ofsUASs may provide assistance to local laworganizations during search and rescue missions. SUASs mayreach areas unattainable or viewable withhelicopters and aircraft. SUASs may be implemented quicker as time is critical during search and rescue operations.
Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety orhow the exemption would provide a level ofsafety at least equal to the existing rule: Proposed operations using sUASs provide increased safety enhancement especially when comparedwithhelicopters and aircraft for the following reasons: 1. The sUASs will weigh less thanten (10) pounds; 2. Flights will be operated within the visual line ofsight (VLOS) ofthe pilot; 3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be thirty (30) minutes. Flight times may be less than thirty (30) minutes as the UAS will continuously monitor battery reserve and return to the ground station with at least 20% battery powerreserved; 4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of 200 feet AGL. Flights will never exceed 400 feet AGL; 5. Minimum crewfor eachoperationwill consist ofthe sUAS pilot and a Visual Observer; 6. A briefing will be conducted dailyby all personnel working with said sUAS; 7. All onsite personnel and client employees will be required to execute a waiver. Verbal/written consent will be required ofall persons within 100 feet offlight operation; 8. Written and/or oral permission from relative property owners will be obtained prior to operatingthe sUAS; 9. All permits, permissions, etc. will be obtained from local government offices as required; 10. The sUAS operated will weigh less than 55 pounds including payload (camera, lens, gimbal, etc.); and 11. The sUAS will operate at speeds less than 50 knots, hover and simultaneously move vertically and horizontally; 12. The sUAS will have the capability to return and land at the pre-determined location with the Security Perimeter shouldthe sUAS lose communication or GPS signal during any operations; 13. The sUAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies; 14. Operations will not be conducted over densely populated areas or heavily traffic highways; and U.S. Department ofTransportation15. Operations will not be conducted withinfive (5) NM ofan airport orheliport.
Eleview LLC will abide by all regulations including the following:
1. 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Pmis. Airwmihiness Certificates; 2. 14 C.F.R. 45.23 Display ofmarks; general and 45.29 Size ofmarks; Page
