Petition for Exemption

Applicant:

Jeff Miller Photographer/Videographer

I, Jeff Miller, hereby submit this petition for exemption under Section 333; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 33 3. I request this exemption in order to operate my UAV/UAS, DJ I Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter Aircraft, in order to provide services for profit to include aerial pho tography, aerial cinematography, aerial filming and photography for education, real estate, construction firms, agr icultural modeling, crop monitoring operations, aerial mapping, special events to include but not limited to wed dings, private or public parties/events, business advertising, promotional events, geological surveying, and environmental studies.

The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community will benefit them by opening up opportunities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods of aerial photography/videography are simply not viable options for the average consumer as they are costly and involve greater risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of lar ger aircraft carrying humans and flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions.

Prior to each flight/operation of the UAV/UAS, I will con duct a Pre-Flight Safety Inspection. All flights will be performed areas cleared for flight using www.skyvector.com to make sure we are in authorized airspace.Flights will not take place over densely populated areas or private property without the owners permission. The UAV/UAS will only be operated within visu al line of sight and will not be flown near airports or above 400 feet. Any and all repairs will be performed only by the manufacturers authorized repair facilities/ providers. The FAA can be confident that operations of this UAV/UAS will achieve at least the equivalent or greater level of safety.

The requests of this petition are similar to those of Mr. M att Vanacoro, Mr. Brian Punch, Mr. Jase W. Robak, Mr. Todd Thomas Drone Pics, Brandon Drivon, and Mr. Mik e Lloyd Lloyd & Associates, many of whom have received Section 333 exemptions for comparable aircraft for simil ar operations.

The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exem ption are as follows: 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5); 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 61.133 (a); 14 C.F.R. 61.23(a) & (c); 14 C.F.R 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14C.F.R. 91.109(a); 14 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) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(2};14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) & (b).

Please find the included User Manual, Quick Start Guide, Safet y Guide, and Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guide. Photographs, video, and serial number of my DJI P hantom Quadcopter are available upon request should you require them.

I thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jeff Miller Freelance Photographer, Videographer, and Educator
