- 95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333 Dear Mr. Secretary, Whereas, Dennis Carvajal, P.A

. ( CARVAJAL) currently, under individual ownership by Dennis Carvajal , seeks relief from airworthiness certification requirements from the above mentioned regulations. CARVAJAL have acquired DJ I Phantom 3 for the express purpose of providing aerial videography for Realtors and private homeowners. CARVAJAL is represented by Dennis Carvajal , Realtor, and a 1 3 ye ar member of the Florida Association of Realtors

. Personal Information of Applicant: Dennis V. Carvajal 1430 S. Dixie Hwy, Suite 110 Coral Gables, Florida 33146 dcarvajal@onesotheb ysrealty .com License # SL3034699 Since 9/3/2002 member in good standing CARVAJAL seeks this exemption under the guidelines of Section333 specifically as it relates to the Real Estate Industry in the greater Florida area under the small UAS rule. We believe that we have put together a program as responsible operators of an UAS that will stand as an exemplary

model on whom many

others entering the market will emulate. Under the terms of this exemption, it is our intention to safely fl y an UAS, specifically a DJI Phantom 3 with a Sony EXMOR 12 Megapixels camera . Additionally the drone vehicle maintains a FPV connectivity utilizing an Immersion 5.8 GHz 600mW antenna linked with a Lilliput 7 inch HD field monitor, allowing the pilot to see exactly what the camera sees. Additionally, our pilot wears a camera mounted pair of glasses in order to record the actual drone flight, ensuring a recording of safe and responsible flight. As air safety is of paramount importance, CARVAJAL has developed a highl y structured safety flight manual for our pilot as well as observer. A s recent as the new proposed FAA regulation released as of February of 2015, CARVAJAL intends to operate well within the most stringent proposal required to operate an unmanned aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS). We are prepared to attend any required course of study, participate in flight evaluationand pay

any required fee(s) that may b e instituted. We have hundreds of hours of safe flying in the recreational mode. **Petition for Exemption, requesting relief from the FAA Modernization and**  **Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112**  **- 95 FEB. 14, 2012,**  **Section 333.** The specific section or sections of **14CFR** from which I seek relief are **Title 14**  **Chapter 1**  **Subchapter D**  **parts 60**  **thru 67,**  **specifically 61.1**  **to 61.429**  regarding pilot certification. In additi on, I respectfully request the FAA grant exemptions from regulations that address general flight rules, pilot certificate requirements, manuals, maintenance and equipment mandates. I believe that these requirements are unnecessary and tangential to the is sue of pilot controlled drone flight. Additionally, current FAA proposals have omitted this as a future requirement for small UAV's. I request the use of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) within the National Airspace System (NAS) until such time as final r ules and regulations become effective, at which time, I will then comply with the aforementioned rules and regulations. As to ensuring my

s ecurity c learance, I voluntarily submit my

n ame and all relevant information for clearance with any governing board having jurisdiction over this issue. I was vetted by the FBI when I became a US citizen and again was fingerprinted along with my application as a Realtor with the State of Florida

. I have never been charged with or convicted of any crime. I submit this information as true and accurate under penalty of perjury

. Re: Public Interest I firmly believe that granting this exemption will allow for expanded access to the global real estate market. In many cases, homes/properties may have restricted or limited access due to numerous factors. Many p roperties are “hidden” behind walls and landscaping, resulting in diminished “curb appeal”. Providing this relief would eliminate these problems and lead to increased commerce for both buyers, sellers, government taxation agencies, real estate affiliated companies, (title, escrow, notary), construction industry and home improvement businesses who rely on a thriving real estate market. Additionally UAV's provide for property inspections including roof and chimney that can assist in identifying hard to observe defects in manufacturing and installation. Camera mounted drones help mitigate accidents and death occurring from slips and falls which often result in liability c laims and damages to all participants. Invariably, a reduction in risk to life and limb is a general benefit to the public interest. Lastly, aerial videography p rovides the viewer with safe access to the property vicinity, eliminating needless driving to determine how close a property is to a freeway, s chool, and beach or nearb y unsightly development. This in turn reduces exhaust emissions and air pollution. Our UAV's utilize battery

p ower and have no negative impact on the environment. When fully rolled out, these emission reductions will be measurable and significant.In Conclusion:

I would like to add that we are committed to promoting the s afe use of UAV's in general and specifically in regard to real estate and related services. We believe that by allowing “role models”, the FAA can begin to establish responsible examples for the numerous flying devotees to come.

Sincerely,
