Commercial operation of an UAS, as described herein, which are equipped with camera(s) and sensors, would operate in the following manner:
1. Aerial photography and/or video for public and/or private use including real estate, architecture, land surveying, engineering, marine, golf c ourses , Special events and other related professional activities.
2. Aerial video and/or photo graphy for public and/or private use including television, public events, cinematography and news gathering.
3. Aerial inspection/photography of residential/commercial structures under contract with the owners or local government authority.
4. Aerial inspect ion/photography of residential/commercial utility infrastructure including but not limited to electrical power lines, wind turbines and cell towers.
5. Aerial video/photography or providing live video feed to assist with search and rescue operations in case s of an emergency or naturaldisaster only when the local authorities or government has

requested it by contract or donation.
6. The ability to offer training to persons individually or belonging to both private and/or public organizations that have interests in the use and application of a UAS for the purpose of the safe operation of a UAS to enhance the safety of the National Airspace System (NAS) as well as for the protection of the persons and property. As described fully below, the requested exemption would permit the operation of a UAS under controlled conditions in the NAS that would be a) limited b) controlled c) predetermined and d) will provide safety enhancements to the already safe operations in the industry presently using conventional aircraft . Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation’s (the FAA Administrator’s) responsibilities to “....establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace syste m.”Regulations from which the exemption is requested:

14 CFR Part 21 subpart H 14 CFR 45.23 (b) 14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b) 14 CFR 91.7 (a) 14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2)
14 CFR 91.103 14 CRF 91.105 14 CFR 91.109 14 CFR 91.119 (c)
14 CFR 91.121
14 CFR 91.151 (a) 14 CFR 91.203 (a) & (b) 14 CFR 91.405 (a) 14 CFR 91.407 (a) (1) 14 CFR 91.409 (a) (2) 14 CFR 91.417 (a) & (b) Equipment to be operated is the DJI Phantom 3, Dji Phantom 4 and DJI Inspire 1

. The DJI Phantom 3, DJI Phantom 4 and DJI Inspire 1 are vertical takeoff	and	landing	(VTOL)	Unmanned	Aircraft	(UA)	with	a	Ground Control	Station	(GCS)	utilizing	electronic	tablet	or	smart	phone	systems. The live video feed will have an operating frequency of 5.728GHz

– 5.850GHz. The appli cant will operate the UAS in line of sight within a cl osed off and predetermined area.Given the small size of the UAS and the controlled environment provided

the proposed operations will adhere to the Reform Act’s safety requirements. The approval of thi s application presents no national security issues. Regarding the level of safety surrounding the proposed operations and the public benefit, reduction in environmental impacts, including but not limited to reduced emissions and noise, the grant of the req uested exemption is in the public interest. Accordingly the applicant requests that the FAA grant the requested exemption with minimum delay. AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY The operation limitations proposed for an equivalent or higher level of safety because operations will further enhance the safety of the persons and/or property using conventional aircraft. These limitations and conditions to which the applicant agrees to adhere to when conducting commercial operations under the FAA issued ex emption as set forth in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) include: 1. The UAS will weigh less than 55 lbs. 2. The UAS will have a maximum operating speed of no more than 50mph. 3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the Pilot in Command (P IC) and/or Visual Observer (VO). 4. Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be 30 minutes. Flights will be terminated at 25% battery power reserve or 30 minutes of flight time whichever occurs first. 5. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned. 6. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the UAS Pilot, the Visual Observer (VO) and may include but not limited to a Camera Operator.7. The UAS pilot will be a designated Pilot in Command (PIC) and hold a

Medical Certificate. If the PIC feels another operator to be qualified with the necessary skills to be PIC & Class Medical Certificate, that person m ay be designated PIC

. 8. A briefing will be performed regarding the planned UAS operations prior to each day’s flight consisting of all the days’ production activities. 9. All flights will occur under Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions (VMC) o nly. 10. The flights will occur no closer than a 5 mile radius of the geographic center/Airport Reference Point (ARP) of a tower controlled or uncontrolled airport. 11. If operations will be within a 5 mile radius of the geographic center/Airport Referen ce Point (ARP) of a tower controlled or uncontrolled airport the respective airports will be contacted advising them of the estimated flight time, flight duration, elevation of flight and other pertinent information. 12. The operator will file FAA Form 77 11

- 1, or its equivalent, as modified in light of the requested exemption, with the appropriate local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) no more than 72 hours but no less than 48 hours from planned operation. 13. The operator will obtain verbal/written consent of all persons involved with the planned operation and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 100 feet of the flight operation, and the radius may be reduced to 30 feet based upon an e quivalent level of safety determination, as required under the FOM. With the advanced permission of the FSDO, operations at closer range may be approved. 14. The PIC and VO will have been trained in operation of UAS and receive up -to

- date information for the particular UAS to be operated. 15. The PIC and VO will be able to communicate by voice, radio, and/or textat all times.

16. I f the UAS loses communications with the remote controller or loses GPS signal, the UAS will have the capability to return t o a pre - determined location within a designated location and land autonomously.
17. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles, weather, or emergencies. Sincerely, Warren	J	Dorning
