UAS OPERATI ONAL LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS

In accordance with the grant of exemption as requested herein, Petitioner shall comply with all of the following conditions and limitations on the operation of the UAS:

1. The UAS will weigh less than 6.5 pounds, including batteries and/or power source(s) and equipment.

2. The UAS will not be flown at a ground speed exceeding 50 mph.

3. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 500 feet above ground level (A GL), as indicated by the procedures specified in the operator's manual.

4. The UAS will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This allows the PIC to be able to rely on human vision, aided only by corrective lenses if neces sary to monitor the UAS.

5. All operations will utilize a visual observer (VO). The UAS 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 design ated before the flight and will not transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the functions prescribed in the operating documents.

6. The operating documents will be accessible during UAS op erations and made available to the Administrator upon request. Any revisions to the operating documents will be presented to the Administrator upon request.

7. Prior to each flight, the PIC will inspect the UAS to ensure it is in the proper condition for s afe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the UAS will not be operated until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Stat ion 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 (for example, replacement o f a flight critical component) will undergo a functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight will record this information 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 of the operating documents.
10. Petitioner will follow the UAS manufacturer's aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, i nspection, and life limit requirements.

11. Petitioner 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, incl uding 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 th e aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections.

14. UAS operations will be conducted by a PIC possessing at least a private pilot certificate and at lease a current third

- class medical certificate. The PIC will also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 C.F.R. 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

15. Prior to operations, the PIC will have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.F. R. 61.51(b), a minimum of25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with multi

- rotor UAS.

16. Prior to operations, the PIC will have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. 61.51 (b), a minimum of 5 hours as UAS pilot operating the make and model of the UAS to be used in operations. The PIC will accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days.

17. The PIC will not operate the UAS unless the PIC has demonstrated and logg ed in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. 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 C.F.R. 1.1. All operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC).

19. The UAS will not operate within five (5) nautical miles of an airport refere nce point as denoted on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart.

20. The UAS 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 UAS 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.

2 2 . The PIC will abort a flight in the event of unpredicte d obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents.

23. The PIC will not being a flight unless (considering wind and weather forecast conditions) there is enough battery charge/power to fly the UAS at normal cruising speed to the intende d landing point and land the UAS with at least 25% battery power remaining.

24. Petitioner 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 Ai rman (NOT AM) not more than 72 hours in advance nor less than 48 hours prior the operation.25. Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UAS will comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC ) or other appropriate governmental oversight agency requirements.

26. The documents required under 14 C.F.R. 91.9 and 91.202 will 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 or regulatory enforcement official or body upon request.

27. The UAS 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 t he PIC from any moving device or vehicle.

29. The UAS will not be operated over congested or densely populated areas.

30. Flight operations will be conducted at least 500 feet from all non

- participating persons, vessels, vehicles and structures unless:

a.) Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect non

- participating persons from the UAS and/or debris in the event of an accident. Petitioner will ensure that non

- participating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where non

- participating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UAS, flight operations will cease immediately, and/or:

b.) The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard, and:

c.) Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential p ersons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per §91.119(a).

31. All operations will be conducted over private or controlled access property with permission from the land owner, controller or authorized representative. Permission from the land ow ner, controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted.

3 2. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational areas as defined by the applic able COA will be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours of the occurrence of such an incident. Accidents will be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB website:
