1. Name and Address of Petitioner - Land Grab Film, LLC is headquartered at 26100 American Drive, Southfield, Michigan 48034, and is owned and operated by John Hantz and Sean King O'Grady.

2. Proposed sUAS Systems – Petitioner requests exemption to use two sUAS systems: the DJI Inspire 1, with a takeoff weight of less than 6.5 pounds, and the FreeFly Alta, with a maximum takeoff weight including payload of under 30 pounds. The manufacturers' user manuals are available upon request and can also be located at: https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/inspire_1/en/Inspire_1_User_Manual_en_v2.0_1218.pdfhttp://d27w8s76bjlz9v.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/28175748/WEBALTA_Manual_RevC_03.pdf

3. Proposed Operations - Operations will be limited to daylight hours, within visual line-of-sight, below 400ft., and otherwise within any limitations set by the Certificate of Authorization or Waiver. Operations would be for the purpose of data collection, including aerial photography and videography.

4. Public Interest – Petitioner intends to operate sUAS for data collection, and to utilize theresulting aerial photography and videography for commercial artistic, entertainment, and newsgathering purposes. The Petitioner will operate with enhanced safety using unmanned aircraft under 55 pounds, with no passengers or crew, and with no flammable fuel. It is in the public interest to grant Petitioner exemption, because operations will be used to further Petitioner's First Amendment interest and will not adversely affect safety.

5. Radio Frequency Spectrum – Both proposed sUAS systems are compliant with FCC regulations, including Part 15. The DJI Inspire 1 uses a wireless communication system with integrated video downlink and an aircraft Remote Controller system at 2.4GHz.The proposed FreeFly Alta system utilizes an integrated wireless communication system with a 2.4 GHz Movi Controller.

6. Pilots in Charge – The PICs will maintain any required airmen certificates, as well as a current FAA airmen medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license. The PICs will undergo any additional training required. Petitioner's PICs will only operate the sUAS after demonstrating the ability to safely operate the systems in a manner consistent with the terms of any exemption granted. Dedicated training sessions will be conducted with appropriate distance from nonparticipants. A Visual Observer (VO) will be utilized and the VO and PIC will be able to communicate verbally at all times.

7. Procedures/Safety – The proposed sUAS operations will not adversely affect safety. Proposed operations will be conducted under 400ft, the aircraft weigh less than 55 pounds, operations will be conducted during daytime Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions within visual line-of-sight of the PICs, and Petitioner will operate only beyond the required distances from airports and heliports. Proposed operations will also be limited to the airspeeds recommended by the manufacturers and subject to any additional limitations set on Petitioner. Petitioner will utilize several procedures to ensure safe operations, including pre-flight inspections, as well as regular maintenance and repair in accordance with recommendations from the sUAS manufacturers. Petitioner will maintain and inspect the systems to ensure their condition for safe operation. Petitioner will follow the manufacturers' maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the sUAS and components. The sUAS will not be operated less than 500 ft below or less than 2,000 ft horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. Any sUAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the system's operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, will undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. Functional test flights will only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and will remain at least 500 feet from other people. Any such functional test flight will be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. The PIC will abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater. The sUAS will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle, and the UA will remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.All operations will be conducted on private or controlled-access property with permission from the owner or the owner's representative. Any incident or accident will be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office within 24 hours, as well as the NTSB. Additional flight and safety procedures will be developed and followed in accordance with any granted exemption and COA, as well as manufacturers' suggested procedures and Petitioner's own operations.

8. Relief Requested – Petitioner requests exemption from 14 CFR §§ 21, Subpart H, 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.103, 91.105, 91.109, 91.119, 91.121, 91.151, 91.405, 91.407, 91.409, and 91.417, to the extent necessary to allow Petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection.
