## Overview: I, William Lord, of 189 Mills Road in Kennebunkport, Maine 04046 (Mail: PO Box 7297, Cape Porpoise, ME 04014) hereby petition the FAA for an exemption from various sections of49 USC of Federal Aviation Regulations. Iam associated with Maine HDTV of2 Shore Road, Biddeford, ME 04005, and will be the Pilot in Charge ofany aerial photography, following approval ofthis request. Pursuantto Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, Public Law 112-95, I request certain exemptions in orderto conduct residential and commercial aerial photography (henceforth meaning still and/orvideo) using asmall Unmanned Aircraft System-the Phantom 2Vision+. The aircraft consists offour de motors with rotors, powered by a Lithium battery and managed by an on board flight control system that is remotely accessed bythe Pilot in Charge using a portable control unit. The remote control unit is awireless communication device using the 5.8GHz frequency band. Real-time viewing ofthe on board camera is enabled through aWi-Fi video linkwithin the 2.4GHz frequency band. Both frequencies are approved bythe FCC for limited-range communication purposes. The Phantom 2Vision+ (known as 'Phantom' forthis request) has a maximum payload ofless than three pounds includingthe camera (1350 grams or2.976 poundsL has a maximum forward speed of29.16 knots (not recommended by the manufacturer-Iwould flyfrom 0-15 knots) and is managed by asophisticated GPS control system that assures a Return To Home (RTH) procedure in the event of Loss ofSignal (LOS). That same system can set maximum height and distance so the UA does not exceed preferred parameters. In addition, the control system has a No Fly Zone feature that will preventtakeofffrom within Controlled/Restricted Airspace and warn the PIC ofan impending intrusion when in flight. The manufacturer, DJI, regularly updates software and firmware. The latest versions, includingthe addition ofthe Washington, DC area No-Fly Zones, have been updated to include a25km radius in Washington, DC (Attachment #1- Phantom Vision+ ManuatJanuary 30, 2915 ***Attachment#2- Phantom 2 Release Notes) I, William Lord, will use the UAS in daytime onlyto enhance real estate marketingfor Realtors in theYork Country, Southern Maine area (Scarborough to Kittery)- showingviews of properties currently unattainable by still oraviation photography and will workwith local nonprofitsto enhance their missions- including, but not limited

# to, the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and the Kennebunkport Fire Department. Iwill operate the quad-copter is asafe manner, using thefollowing pre-flight check list and operating procedures to determinethatthe aircraft is physically and electronically ready for safe flight and that permission from the propertyowner/representative is received:

2

## Pre-flight Checklist:

• Ifrequired, notifythe appropriate FAA facility ofour launch schedule and location. • Surveythe propertyfor hazards- 

## trees, utility poles and other elements that might compromise the flight, then make ajudgment as to whetherto proceed. • Check the weatherforwind speed, cloud cover and any forecast changes that might adversely affectflight safety and performance. • Examine the aircraft- looking at connections and searching for cracks and loose parts. • Determinethatthe electronic elements are performing correctly (receiving morethan 6 GPS signals along with calibration ofthe magnetic compass) • Determine thatthe barometric altimeter reflects approximately 0 feet AGL. • Following takeoff, Iwill hover at an altitude ofapproximately 10feetto assure thatthe Home Point is solid. • Iwill then exercise all controls to confirm theirfunctionality- ifone ofthe controls is notfunctioning, the flight will be terminated immediately. • Iwill fly onlywith aVisual Observer (VO) at myside who will double check for possible flight hazards. The VO will provide asecond pair ofeyes to assist the PIC in keepingthe Phantom within Visual Line ofSight (VLOS). The VO has manyyears ofexperience in helicopter-borne photography in the Atlanta area. He will also assist in any emergency maneuvers dueto unanticipated events that require aquick landing. Since purchasing the Phantom 2 and Phantom 2Vision+, all training and skill improvementflights have been with the same VO. • Iwill notfly over dense traffic orcrowds. • Iwill give right-of-wayto any manned aircraft. • Iwill stay clear of FAA controlled airspace at airports (generally afive nautical mile radius) as well as restricted and prohibited zones. • Iwill fly no higherthan 

## 400' and no furtherthan 

## 1000'from the Home Point, recognizing thatthe primary responsibility is to safely keep the aircraft safely within VLOS. • Iwill stay clear ofclouds and fog 

## (500' vertically and 

## 2,000' horizontally). • Iwill perform a post-flight check ofthe Phantom to determine its physical and electronic condition. 

## Operating Procedures:
• After receiving permission from the property owner or representative, Iwill notify abutting propertyowners ofour intensions and anticipated time on site. • I will notfly over neighboring properties unless permission is granted. • I will keep individuals not involved in the flight at asafe distance (500 feet if practical). • I will post asign stating: 11

## Altitude, distance from the PIC, airspeed and batterystate-of-charge are data constantly viewable in the control monitor (a smart phone) which is the Phantom's equivalent ofan aircraft's control panel. I maintain thatthe above checklist and procedures will minimize risks to property and persons on the ground as well as other aircraft in the National Air Space. Atthis writing, I have practiced extensively in the Phantom 2 and the Phantom 2Vision+, accumulating 17:54offlight time in the Phantom 2 and 5:15 hours in the Phantom 2Vision+ (as ofthis writing). I continue to add flying hours to my Phantom 2Vision+ log. I have exercised all functions in both aircraft and fly only when weather conditions allow. I have private pilot license #1613052 issued in November 

## 10, 1964 (Attachment #4). The license requires updating as the address is outdated. Iwill reacquire my3rct 

## class medical certificate. I am fully aware ofVFR flight rules. The serial numberofmy Phantom 2Vision+ is: PH645465564 and Iwill markthe aircraft with whatever 'N' numberthe FAA requires. 

## Exemption Requests: I respectfully request exemption from thefollowing regulations with which I cannot fully comply. 14CFR Part 21 Airworthiness Certification Subpart H 

## "prescribes the procedural requirements for issuing and changing design approval, production approval, airworthiness certificates and airworthiness approval." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 11) Response: 

## "The Secretary ofTransportation has determined thatthis aircraft meets the conditions ofSection 333. 

## Therefore, the FAA finds thatthe requested relieffrom 14 CFR part

## 21, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements ofpart 

## 36, is not necessary." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 11 Part 61 (a)(b) Parts, General Operating and Flight Rules 

## (a) Prescribes the requirements for issuing pilot licenses and the privileges and limitations associated with various ratings. (b) Aeronautical experience means pilottime, flight simulator orflight training device for meetingthe appropriatetraining and flighttime requirementsfor an airman certificate. Response: 

## Organized orcommercially available FAA-approved flighttraining has yetto be achieved bythe UA industry. While I have regularly used aflight simulator on my computer, those skills are generally nottransferableto quad-copteroperation. My sources oftraining are: the Flight Instruction Manual from DJI (Attachment #1); online videos from the manufacturer as well as videos from users; and most importantly,
4

## personal training in asecure location- an open area notsubject totraffic and/or uninvolved individuals. Those trainingflights, which have averaged 10-15 minutes each, deal with setup, physical and electronic safety checks; lift offfollowed by hovering at approximately 10 feet to confirm thatthe GPS system is functioning properly and has registered its Home Point; a prescribed flight plan tofamiliarize and then masterthe fight controls and camera; returningtothe launch point and landing, either on a plastic pad or having myVO secure the Phantom by hand. Ithen conduct a post-flight inspection for any problems, logthe location and flight time and then viewthe video. There are no FAA certified instructors or FAA certified study guides available at this time as thetechnology continues to develop. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

## §91.103 (b)(2) (b)(2) This section deals the pilot's preparations forflight, in particular runway lengths, takeoff and landing distance information. 

## Response: Since aquad-copter, like a helicopter, takes offand lands vertically, a Phantom pilotwould not need to knowthis information since there are no runways involved and the return from flight is the takeoffpoint. The FAA has determined that "relief is not necessary." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 20) § 

## 91.105 Summary: 

## This section deals with flight crewmembers at stations. 

## Response: Since there are no passengers, pilots or crewmembers, I respectfully request relieffrom this regulation. § 

## 91.109 Summary: 

## This sections deals with flight instruction, simulated instrumentflight and certain flighttests. 

## Response: None ofthese functions are applicable to aquad-copterflight and, as stated earlier, there are no FAA certified instructors or FAA certified studyguides available at this timefor quad-copteroperation. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.119 (a) 

## (b) (c) Summary: 

## This section deals with minimum safe altitude statingthat ifthe powerfails anywhere, an aircraft should have an altitude sufficient so that an emergency landing can occur without hazard to persons or property (91.119 a). It also sets minimum altitudes over congested areas and uncongested areas as well as has a paragraph on helicopters (91.119 b). Italso sets minimum distance (500 feet) from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure (91.119 c).

5

## Response: None ofthe altitude requirements in this regulation should applyto a UAS since these aircraft are required to fly belowthose altitudes. Their weight, speed and GPS-controlled Return to Home feature mitigates against acatastrophic accident. A manned aircraft is much heavier and largerthan a Phantom. Ifa Phantom were to crash, itcarries no humans, no explosive fuel and since itflies primarily over asingle piece of private property, any damage would likely be minimal and confined tothat area. As to keeping 500' from any person, vessel, vehicle orstructure, the purpose of real estate quad-copter photography is tofly close tothe subject structures with the permission of the owner/representative. I maintain that my nearly 23 hours flying these Phantoms have provided me with sufficient skills to manage safely any approach under 500 feet. In addition, access tothe property is strictly controlled (Warning sign and the clearing of any person on the property not involved in the flight). I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.121 

## Summary: This section details altimetersettings required to maintain the "cruising altitude orflight level ofthat aircraft." It requires thatthe "elevation ofthe departure airport" be set in the altimeterorthe "current reported altimetersetting ofastation alongthe route and within 100 miles ofthe aircraft". 

## Response: An UV cannot complyfully with this section's altitude requirements. The Phantom is equipped with a barometric altimeterwhich automatically calculates the takeoffaltitude {0 AGL) when the aircraft is warmed up- the launch point becomes the "elevation ofthe departure" point. The altitude ofthe UV is visible in the control monitor (a smart phone) bythe PIC before launch and is consistently updated as the flight progresses. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

## §91.151 

## Summary: This section deals with fuel requirements forVFR flights stating, among other things, that "no person may begin aflight in an airplane underVFR condition unless

...there is enough fuel to flytothefirst point ofthe intended landing and, "

...fly afterthatfor at least 40 minutes (day) and 45 minutes (night)". 

## Response: This regulation deals with 'reserve' fuel. This could include any condition that increases flighttime orfuel consumption. Weatherwould be one factor includingwind, turbulence and the necessityto divert around threateningthunderstorms. Compliance with this regulation is not possible because the 'fuel" onboard the Phantom is not aviation gas but a DC batterywith a maximum flight duration of25 minutes. Fuel management ofan UV requires constant monitoring ofthe battery's state-of-charge and bringing it home before it reaches the manufacturers recommended 30% level. In our trainingflights, we've found that aflight of 10-15 minutesto be safe, returningthe

6

## Phantom to its Home Point around the 40% level. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.405 Summary: 

## This section deals with aircraft maintenance including regular inspection, the keeping ofappropriate maintenance records and replacement of inoperable instruments Response: 

## Maintenance on the Phantom is quite straightforward. If, in landing, a rotor blade ortwo are damaged, they are quickly replaced. The traditional instrument cluster in an aircraft is replaced by adata stream from the Phantom, visible in the control monitor (smart phone). Replacement of minor parts are performed bythe PIC and a major 'overhaul' that can't be easily resolved will go backtothe manufacturerfor repair. Currently, there are no required inspections by 'authorized' maintenance personnel and there would be no space/room on board to install a placard of inoperability. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.407 Summary/Response:

## This section addresses requirements after maintenance has been performed. Again, approval ofthe maintenance beforeflight is essentially in the hands ofthe PIC. Whatever maintenance is performed will be entered in the aircraft log, unless a separate maintenance log is required. Paragraph (b) refers tothe prohibition ofa pilot carrying passengers or crewmembers, ifthe flight characteristics have been substantially affected, before a rated pilot performs an operational check ofthe maintenance. Again, this is a PIC's responsibilityto preflightthe Phantom and determine its flyability. And, as mentioned earlier, there is no pilot, crewmembers orpassengers on board the Phantom. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.409 Inspections: 

## This section deals with the necessity ofannual and 100-hour inspections or "progressive inspections" and approval by authorized persons which will lead tothe "issuance ofan airworthiness certificate." Response: 

## As stated earlier, there is no FAA approved inspection protocols nor authorized inspection personnel. The PIC handlesthose issues each timethe Phantom is prepared forflight. The pre-flight check list enumerated earlier will be followed to determine its mechanical and electronic integrity. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.417 Maintenance Records: 

## This section requires a maintenance record be kept on repair, replacement and condition ofvital parts (rotors, engines 

## &airframe). Certain records 7

## Safety: must be retained for one year while other record must be kept with the aircraft even when sold to another part. Response: The details ofthis section would be impractical with a Phantom, but repair issues can be entered into the aircraft log. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. The above requests for exemptions followthe guidance published by the FAA.

The Phantom 2Vision+ is a UAS with multiple safety features to assure asafe and efficient flight, minimizing personal injury and property damage and integratingwith minimal risk into the NAS. They include:

• A GPS flight system thatallows forstable remote control ofthe aircraft. • The abilityto hover in place by simplytaking hands offthe controls. • A Return to Home function ifelectronic contact between the Remote Control and the aircraft is lost. Ifthe aircraft begins to show unstable flight, Iwill land it immediately. • The abilityto limit height (<400') and distance (<1000') from the PIC through the control software. • Use ofthe 'radar' mode which instantly allows the PIC to pinpointthe UA. • The No Fly Zone control software will preventtakeoffs within a S-mile radius ofa major airport as well as provide warning in the eventthatthe aircraft inadvertently approaches the zone while in flight. This warningwill provide sufficienttime forthe PIC to reverse course. • Readout ofthe battery's state ofcharge so thatthere is sufficient powerto bringthe UA home. • The weight, size, speed and limited flight which focuses on inanimate objects (homes) reduces the likelihood ofsignificant personal or property damage. Flight ofthe UA risks no on board lives, as in helicopterorplane photography. The safetyfeatures associated with the Phantom as well as my pre-flight checklist and procedures will assure that public safety is not adversely affected

# • Public Service: 

## Iam committed to helpingtwo local organizations fulfill their missions. The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust holds many acres of land in the Town of Kennebunkport, Maine. Of particular interest, is the dozen islands clustered around the entrance to Cape Porpoise Harbor (Attachment #5). Each year, several kayakers or adventurers are reported missing. The Kennebunkport Fire Department must man and launch a boat and search the shores of each island in an effortto locate the missing. A quad-coptercan shorten that search time significantly ofthe nearby islands and locate a missing person(s) more quickly- possibly saving8

## his/her life. In addition, Iwould workwith the KPFD to created trainingvideo. Also, hikers get lost from timetotime on the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust trails- another opportunity for aquad-copter search. Iwould request a 120-day provisional permitto determinethe value ofthese activities and report backtothe FAA the results. Ifapproved, these activities would be donated forthe benefit ofthe community. 

## Airports and Prohibited Area: Since I intend to conduct flights on properties along the Southern Maine Coast area (York County), there are several airports that require additional precautions. They are (northeastto southwest along the coast as shown in the NewYork sectional -Attachment#6):

• Portland International (PWM)- FAA control tower (120.9) with awell-established upside down wedding cake control area. • Biddeford Airport- UNICOM (123.000 MHz) • Sanford Seacoast Regional (SFM)- UNICOM (123.075) • Private Airport- Goosefair (Kennebunkport)- No communication • Littlebrook (3B4)- UNICOM (122.9) • Portsmouth International at Pease (PSM)- FAA control tower (128.4) • P-67 Prohibited Area over Walker Point, Kennebunkport- check NOTAMS dailyfor expansion
Iam familiar with these airports as well as the Protected Area. Iwill follow all FAA regulations. In addition, Iwould contact the Secret Service in the eventthat Iwas close to P-67. I respectfully request exemptionsfrom the above listed regulations in orderto conduct aerial photography of residential and commercial properties in orderto assist realtors and developers in their marketing efforts. In addition, my commitmentto public education and safetywill focus on supportingthe missions ofthe Kennebunkport ConservationTrust and the Kennebunkport Fire Department. Signed, William Edward Lord

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is awireless communication devicethat operates within the 2.4 GHzfrequency band. It is used to extending the effective range ofcommunication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 Vision+ may occur. Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details ofwhich are printed on the label as 'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers ofthe MAC address for the Range Extender. This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lostThe Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraftto return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS coordinates will be recorded and set asthe home point • When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraftwill return tothe recorded home point coordinates and land. • Home point coordinates are used to calculatethe horizontal distance ofthe aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the

GUI ofthe DJI VISION App). • After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blinkfast green. Dynamic Home Point:The Home point will 

### be reset to position ofthe mobile device at specifictime intervals. • Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. • Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to

obtain higher accuracyofthe mobile device position. • Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different

from thetakeoff point. 

## 4.1 When Will FailsafeActivate? (I) The Remote Controller is powered off. (2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. (3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

## 4.2 Failsafe Procedure Initiating the Failsafe modefrom differentflying statuses will results in different landing processes. Readyto Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing The Right Control System will keepthe aircraft level during descentand landing. It may be driftduringthe descentand landing process.

## 3.1 Howto solve large margin(s) mid-pointerror? Appendix

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC and the Phantom will nottake off. The below are some possible fixes for this. (1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 2 Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. Solution: UseAssistantto perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic 

### -> RC 

### -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks through their completetravel rangeto see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Power cyclethe Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. Ifthe above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controllerto OJI Customer service for repair. 

## 3.2 Howto restore avideo file if power is turned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or placethe Micro-SO card back intothe camera. Power cyclethe camera and wait about30 secondsfor the videofile to be restored. 

## 3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

## 3.4What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land atthe Home point. Please make surethere are no obstacles betweenthe Phantom and the home point and that you arefamiliar with the procedurefor regaining control. 

## 3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. Solution: Double checkthe current Wi-Fi connection status ofthe mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting to otherWi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

## 3.6 Files fail to synchronize. Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some mobile devices do notsupportthe synchronization ofthe 1 080i60videofiles.Appendix 

## 3.7 iOS Albums fail to synchronize. Solution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below. Enable the Settings -> Private -> Photos -> OJI VISION. Otherwise Albums will fail to synchronize with your mobile device.

## 3.9 SomeAndroid devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2Vision+Wi-Fi Extender. Solution: Some Android devices do not allowfor both aWi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection atthe sametime. When trying to connectto the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will checkwhether an Internet connection has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" then uncheckthe "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this message can be ignored. 

## 3.10App tips for mobile devices. Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devicesturn offthe App on the first mobile devicethen turn it on the second one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

## 3.11 Howto land the aircraft more smoothly? Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lowerthan 5%, then executethe CSC command to stop the motors. 

## 3.12 Why isthe dischargetime of abattery notzero when unused? Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is whythe dischargetime of a new battery is notzero. The battery is okayto use. 

## 3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

## 3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

## 3.15 What if Iaccidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? If OJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continueswith the remaining flight mission. If OJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connectwith aircraftwithin
