Re:Exemption	Request	Pursuant	To	Se ction	333	of	the	FAA	Reform	Act	of	2012

To	Whom	It	May	Concern:

Gottesman	Photography ,	LLC,	is	a n Ohio Limited	Liability	Company	doing	business

as Gottesman	Photography

.

I	am writing	pursuant	to	the	FAA	Modernization	and	Reform	Act	of	2012	(the

Reform	A ct)	and	the	procedures	contained	in	14	C.F.R.	11,	to	request	that Gottesman Photography ,	an	owner	and	operator	of	small	unmanned	aircraft,	be	exempted	from the	Federal	Aviation	Regulations	(FARs)	listed	below	so	that Gottesman Photography may	operate	its	s mall	unmanned	aircraft	systems	(UAS)	commercially in	airspace	regulated	by	the	Federal	Aviation	Administration	(FAA).

Gottesman	Photography operates	UASs	under	55	pounds, both of	which	are manufactured	by	DJI	a	leader	in	the	UAS	industry.	The	pr oposed	air craft	models	are

the	Phantom 2 Vision+ ,	and	Inspire 1. Both of	these	UASs	have	programmable return	to	home	functions	as	well	as	programmable	limitations	for	distance	and

altitude. Both aircraft s are	GPS	enabled	with	safety	features	such	as	altitude hold

an d	return	to	home	functions.

Gottesman	Photography utilizes	the	DJI	manufactured	UASs	primarily	for	the marketing	of	Real	Estate,	though	they	may be	used	for	other	cinematographic uses such	as advertising ,	agriculture, and	surveys

. Gottesman	Photography on ly	uses	the most	advanced	UASs	available,	as	safety	is the number	one	concern.

Gottesman	Photography operation	of	small	UASs	has directly	impacted	the	real estate	market	in	Columbus,	Ohio	by	featuring	properties	in	a	unique	and	compelling

manner. UASs	are also	highly	cost

- effective	when	compared	to	helicopter operations.

Gottesman	Photography ,	LLC	is	owned	and	operated solely by Andrew	Gotte sman,	a professional	photographer and	graduate	of	The	Ohio	State	University

. Gottesman Photography has	a safe	and c rash

- free track	record.Gottesman	Photography continues	to	look	for	wa ys	to	improve	UAS	safety	through stayi ng	current	with	FAA	guidelines,	connecting	with	other	UAS	operators	and watching	training	videos	online.

Gottesman	Photography exemption	request would	permit	its	operation	of lightweight,	unmanned	(piloted	by	remote	control)	and	comparatively	inexpensive UASs	in	tightly	controlled	and	limited	airspace	under	400	feet.	Predetermined, specifically	marked	areas	of	operation,	cordoned	off	locations	and corresponding enhancements	to	current	safety	controls	will	allow Gottesman	Photography to operate	within	current	safety	parameters	while	innovating	new	ones.	Currently, amateurs	with	no	flight	experience,	safety	plan	or	controls	in	place	to	prevent

catastr ophe	legally	operate	similar	lightweight,	remote	controlled	UASs.	It	is	only logical	to	allow Gottesman	Photography highly	exp erienced	remote	control	pilots to operate	similar	lightweight	UASs.	This	will	act	to	further	safety	protocols	specific	to lightwei ght	UASs	as Gottesman	Photography researches	flight	data	and	other information	gained	through	permitted	flight	operations.

Granting Gottesman	Photography request	comports	with	the	Secretary	of Transportations	(FAA	Administrators)	responsibilities	to	not only	integrate	UASs into	the	national	airspace	system,	but	to	establish	requirements	for	the	safe operation	of	such	aircraft	systems	[UASs]	in	the	national	airspace	system	under Section	333(c)	of	the	Reform	Act.	Further, Gottesman	Photography will	conduct its operations	in	compliance	with	the	protocols	described	herein	or	as	otherwise established	by	the	FAA.

For	the	reasons	stated	in the attached	petition, Gottesman	Photography respectfully requests	the	grant	of	an	exemption	allowing	it	to	operate	lightwei ght,	remote controlled	UASs	within	the	national	airspace.

The	following	links	provide	details	on	the	specific	UASs	that Gottesman Photography plans	to	operate	including	specs. Gottesman	Photography abides	by	all manufacturers	guidelines	which	are	also	loc ated	at	the	following	links:
