## 1. Introduction A. Purpose This manual has been developed by “Chad B. Daring”, hereafter referred to as “Pilot", in conjunction with an application for a Certificate of Waiver for Motion Picture and Television Filming of 14 CFR part 21. Pilot and other company personnel when applicable will comply with the policies, procedures and conditions of this manual, whenever motion picture or television UAS operations are performed that require a Waiver of Authorization as mentioned above. 

## B. Pilot/Operator Organization Chad Daring - Pilot 218 25th Place Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 

## C. Persons Authorized 14 CFR part 21 is waived only with respect to those persons, vehicles and structures directly involved in the performance of the actual filming. The certificate holder shall ensure that no persons are allowed within 500 feet of the area except those consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming production. This provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet if an equivalent level of safety can be achieved and the Administrator has approved it. For example, an equivalent level of safety may be determined by an ASI’s evaluation of the filming production area to note terrain features, obstructions, buildings, etc. Such barriers may protect nonparticipating persons (observers, the public, news media, etc.) from debris in the event of an accident. 

## D. Area of Operations Pilot’s approved area of operations will be the Contiguous United States of America, including Hawaii and Alaska.
