Mr. William Brady iFlyJax, LLC P.O. Box 347 Ponte Vedra, FL 32082

Dear Mr. Brady : This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends.
By letter s dated April 15 and July 16, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of iFlyJax, LLC ( hereinafter petitioner or operator ) for an exemption . The petit ioner requested to operate an unmanned ai rcraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial photography

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA des cribing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

.
The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

.
Airworthiness Certification

The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+

. The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of P ublic Law 112

− 95 in reference to 49 U

. S

. C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the2

aircraft and its operation, the Secre tary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from 14 CFR part 21
, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , an d any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary.

The Basis for Our Decision
You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection 1

. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption No s

. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA

− 20 14

− 0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Lab s , Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the peti tioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public i nterest.
Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

• They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 ;

• The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

• A grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision
In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, iFlyJax, LLC is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS t o perform aerial data collection. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act.

Dear Sir or Madam :

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the " Reform
Act") , iFlyJax , LLC (" iflyjax "), the operator, William Brady
(the applicant), planned operator of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) equipped to
conduct aerial photography for various industries hereby applies for an exe mption from Federal Aviation
Regulations (FARs) to allow commercial operation of our UASs , so long as such operations are

conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as
required by Section 333.

As des c ribed more fully, the requested exemption would permit the operation of UASs by the operator
for commercial use that would provide the following benefits:

1. Operations would be performed in an area of operation limited in size suitable to the
specific u se, in advance of flight.
2. The flight would be planned in advance to minimize hazards to persons and property3 . The operator would reasonably limit or control access to provide safety to those not

involved in the operation.
4. Operation of a UAS would provide significant safety, environmental and other
enhancements not possible by larger sized aircraft.
5. An FAA licensed airman would operate the UAS or directly supervise the operation.

6 . Provide a beneficial and currently unavailable service to government organizations
and the general public that would serve the public interest.

Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of
Transportation's (the FAA Administrators) responsibilities to " ... establish requirements
for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system . "Section
333(c) of the Reform Act.
It is possible to operate an UAS so to not create a hazard to users of th e National
Airspace System (NAS) , the public or pose a threat to national security if done so safely
and responsibly . The applicant has demonstrated their willingness to act safely and
responsibly by not engaging in commercial UAS operations . The applic ant has worked
within FAA guidelines to obtain a legal authorization to conduct commercial operations.
Additionally, the fact that the appl icant currently holds a FAA Private Pilot
Certificate demonstrates that the applicant has a high regard to safe opera tions, as well

as a necessary understanding of the NAS and FARs . The experience of a
FAA certificate serves to add significantly to the level of safety in any operation
performed by the applicant or the applicant's employees.AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LE VEL OF SAFETY

The applicant proposes that the exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that
have the characteristics of UAS and that operate with the limitations listed herein.
These limitations provide for at least an equivalent or higher level of safety to operations
under the current regulatory structure as the proposed operations represent a safety
enhancement to the already safe aerial commercial photography and survey operations

conducted with conventional aircraft.
The UASs planned to be op erated are the d JI Phantom 2 Vision
Plus aircraft (UA) is equipped with four rotors that are driven by electric motors , powered by batteries, and weigh less than 4 pounds, including payload . The UA would have a maximum airspeed

of 30 knots . The principal construction material of these UA is plastic. Operations will
be performed by a qualified UAS Pilot in Command (PIC) , as outlined below, to insure
that the UAS will "not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the
public." Given the small size of the UAS involved and the pre

- planned environment
within which they will operate, the applicant believes that these operations fall squarely
within that zone of safety (an equivalent level of safety) in which Congress e nvisioned
that the FAA must, by exemption, allow commercial operations of UAS to commence
immediately. Also , operation in a researched (to include applicable NOTAMs) , predefined
area will prevent the possibility of a national security issue . The operati on of
UASs by knowledgeable professionals with experience in the NAS will serve to enhance
safety, add to the public benefit and reduce environmental impacts related to current
methods of aerial photography and survey.These limitations and conditions to which the operator, or its employees, acting as an

UAS PIC , agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations under an FAA
issued exemption :
1 . Safety will be the first and foremost consideration in any UAS operation .
2 . The UAS pilot will b e supervised by an FAA licensed airman with at

least a Recreational Pilot Certificate.

3 . The UAS Pilot, and observer will not hold a Second Class Medical Certificate.

4 . The UAS airman will be considered PIC and will be responsible for safe operation of the flight.
5 . Flights will be conducted within line of sight of the PIC and an observer.
6 . Flights will be conducted in Class G airspace whenever possible. If an operation in
another airspace is required, the relevant controlling agency will be noti fied at least

48 hours prior to the operation and , if required , any necessary permission obtained .
7 . Flights will be conducted under visibility and cloud clearance requirements equivalent
to Visual Flight Rules (VFR).

8. The UAS will at all times give way to any aircraft, object, or persons.
9. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the UAS PIC the,
PIC will at all times maintain visual line of site to the UA, and be able to
communicate by voice .
10. Prior to a UAS flight, an area of operation will be established . This area of operation
will include a defined lateral and vertical area, where the UAS will operate (Appendix J).
Safety procedures will be established for persons, property and applicab le airspace
within the area of operation .
11. Flight planning will include f light completion with at least 1 0% battery power
remaining as measured by the UAS or appropriate timing.
12. The UAS will utilize GPS navigation, failsafe , return

- to

- home (RTH) a nd/or flight abort safety features.13. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UAS operations prior to

operation at each new location (Appendix I through K) . All personnel who will be
performing duties within the boundaries of the area of o peration will be present for this
briefing .
14. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from appropriate state , county
or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement , fire , or other appropriate
governmental agencies .

15. Written, to include electronic, and/or oral permission from the relevant property
owners will be obtained prior to an operation .
16. The UAS pilot will be trained in advance for the safe operation of the UAS to be
operated. This will include operation of the UAS both in normal and emergency modes
of operation as applicable, and will include familiarization with the operation manual (or
similar) if published by the UAS manufacturer. Training will also include types of
maneuvers to be performed and the safe operatio n in relation to persons, property and
applicable airspace.

- 1156

- 0001) The UAV listed as primary aircraft, the dji Phantom 2 Vision +,

( P2V+) is one of the leading UAV’s in the Ready to Fly (RTF) market. When the compass is calibrated with
the GPS prior to take off, the return home point is set. In the application of commercial photography
proposed by iFlyJax, this original location can be set a safe distance away from people and structures.

On scr een RADAR positioning and Return Home are key features about the P2V+ that make it a
dependable and safe platform for this service. The flight RADAR displays the current position of the
P2V+ in relation to the pilot in real time. In the event of communicat ion loss between the controller and
UAV, this technology automatically triggers the “return Home” feature. Home is the safe location where
calibration took place, which is set prior to every flight. This feature is tested on a regular maintenance

interval by iFlyJax in a controlled environment. When communication is severed the UAV climbs to a

safe altitude then proceeds to fly di rectly to the take off point then descend at no more than 2 m/s

. This
is a key safety feature that makes the P2V+ a dependable an d safe UAV. The total weight of 2.7lbs is well
under the FAA 4.4lb limit. The Remote Control operating frequency is 5.728GHz

– 5.85GHz separate

from the 2412

- 2462MHz range of the video feed; another feature that provides an level of redundant

safety to the P2V+ UAV platform.
