Petition for Exemption/Rulemaking 14 CFR § 11.81 under “section 333.”

**Attn: Public Docket ( NO.FAA**
**- 2015**  **- 1562**  ) I am a Navy veteran with ov er 9 years of experience as an a irframes and power plant mechanic. I’m also a student trainee pilot with over 80 hours of flight time who’s awaiting his check ride. I currently hold a third class medical certificate that is up to date. My passion for aviation and aeronautics goes further back than I can remember. I have close to five years of RC flight time a s I build model aircraft for a hobby, as well as 100hrs of drone flight time.my passion for aviation led me to pursuit a MA in aeronautics at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. I am in my first year there. Furthermore; I am part owner in a video product ion and cinematography company based out of San Diego, CA. And as an expansion to our existing list of services, we wish to provide real

- estate based drone footage s for prospective buyers and sellers in the market looking to buy and/or sell commercial and residential properties. **Petioner’s Request** The petitioner ’s R equest is to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial photography and videography for real

- estate , land surveying, agriculture, forestry, wildlife preservation, events, and cinematography Training to persons (individually, or belonging to both private and/or public organizations) **Why the request is needed** The ability to supply aerial footage over the large agricultural terrain of the Santa Fe area/ Fallbrook and Santee are a ( to name a few) would greatly benefit farmers, residents and real estate’s agent alike. Currently such footages are dependent on aircraft’s that mostly does not have the capability to fly at low altitudes . And not to mention; the cost for such ven ture is expensive and it does not benefit the public’ s best interest

. We were also approach by a local fire Dept to lend a hand in the times of fire seasons to help with to lower the cost of operations. **Relief Request** 

### (b) The specific section or sections of 14 CFR from which y ou seek an exemption;

14 CFR part21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H Airworthiness Certificates Part 61 Certification: Pilots, Light Instructors, and Ground Instructors 

### (c) The extent of relief you seek, and the reason you seek the relief; 5 y ears (d) The reasons wh y granting your request would be in the public interest; that is, how it would benefit the public as a whole;

### Granting this request will help our community to take advantage of a new technology that can saves time in agriculture inspections, improves buyers guide to the local real

- estate market with improved imagery

and cinematography . Approving this request will assure the public we are in compliance of the government and local laws that govern s us. the need for a faster way to obtain topograph y is long overdue in the construction industry . Our local community can benefit greatl y with the help of our new technology

. (e) The reasons wh y granting the exemption would not adversel y affect safety, o r how the exemption would provide a level of safet y at least equal to that provided by the rule from which yo u seek the exemption; Granting this exemption will NOT adversely affect safety. In fact we plan to exemplify a model for how to operate UAS safely within the National Airspace System. I have spent some time studying U.S National Airspace as part of my General aviation private pilot certification. I understand the do’s and Don’ts of this unique environment. Any person whom will operate UAS under my c ompany’s name” Eaglelens Photography” will have attend a UAS safety course with a certification of completion to prove. Safety is the reason why the U.S National Airspace is the safest airspace in the world. We intend to continue to uphold the safety opera tion that makes us number one. To achieve that, we will not tolerate any shortcut when it comes to safely operating our UAS. We will train on its operational capabilities, Limitations, safety features, parts, and aerodynamics stabilities. Proper pre

- flight and post

- flight is conducted before and after flight. Also a log is maintained for all UAS to document every flight to help improve safety. Lastly granting us this exemption will enable us to serve the communities from which we reside and build relations hips with

.

Currently, section 333 limits operation to 400ft AGL but will allow up to 500ft AGL if the PIC has a visual line of site of the UAS. I also understand that this section also prohibits operations closer than 500 ft from any persons, vehicle, vessel or structure not in involved in the UAS operation , except with the full consent of the landowner (s) and the PIC (Pilot in command) conducts a thorough risk assessment. Although not stated in the current section 333 exemptions; I know to remain clear of class B,C and D airspace without first obtaining ATC Clearance/permission. And I am fully aware that the Exemption clearly prohibits UAS operations to be conducted close r than 5 miles of any Airport reference point as noted on a current published aeronautical chart. I will be operating a **Dji Inspire 1**

. And we will be able to comply with 14 CFR part 91 “general operating and Flight rules. As a PIC I understand the need to be knowledgeable/ trained with manufactures operator training policy. And to follow instructions set forth by the company (Dji) that will lead to safe flight by completing a thorough pre

- flight prior to each flight. Guidelines for pre

- flight are included in the operator’s manual . As a policy, my company operates a two men crew to allow for observer in all aspect/phases of the flight. Maintenance and repair of the Dji inspire shall/will be conducted in accordance to manufacturer recommendation as described in the Dji owner’s operating manual. Below is some of the features/specification that accompanies the dji Inspire 1. I believe that they embody safety and efficiency under one airframe system.

# Features **:**

 A beautiful, 720p HD view shows you exactly what your camera sees at all times. Frame your shots and fly as though you're in the sky yourself. This is made possible by an all new and improved version of DJI's Lightbridge technology which can transmit video from up to 2km away.

 **Dual remote option to aid in safety and efficiency.**  With two operators controlling the same Inspire 1, one person pilots the flight path while the other aims the gimbal and camera. Each user can have their own screen to see exactly what is being shot in real

time.

 **Intelligent powe r management system (Battery)**  A fully integrated intelligent battery powers your Inspire 1 and virtually manages itself. When in flight, your remaining battery power is shown live, letting you know how long you can continue to fly. Advanced algorithms ca lculate the distance of your aircraft and estimated time to return home, letting you know when it’s time to fly back. The battery reports the voltage of each cell, the total lifetime charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status.

 **The “ Home**  **” point system**  **.** When GPS is available, the Home Point (the location you are standing) automatically refreshes, so your Inspire 1 always knows where you are even if you move around. When you tell it to come back, or in case of an emergency, it knows exa ctly where to go and land safely.

 **Camera and Gimbal system** • Video: 4K @ 24

- 30 fps, or 1080p @ 24

- 60fps, • Photos: 12 Megapixels • Lens: 9 elements in 9 groups including an aspherical element • 1/2.3 inch CMOS sensor• 94 0 wide

- angle FOV • 3

- axis, 360 0 rota ting gimbal
