Re: Application for Issuance of Section 333 Exemption Based upon Exemption 11110 

Issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd. 

Dear Sir or Madam, 

Seller Instrument ("Seller") herewith applies for the issuance of an exemption under Section 333 

of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 based upon Exemption 11110 issued to 

Trimble Navigation Ltd. ("Trimble") on December 10, 2014 in FAA Docket 2014-0367. The 

requested exemption would allow Seller to operate the UX5 and UX5hp aircraft manufactured by 

Trimble or other Trimble aircraft approved for commercial operations under Exemption 11110 

and 11110A, as amended. Seller notes that the FAA recently authorized use of the Trimble UX5 

by a third party in Exemption No. 11257, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0889, on April 2, 

2015, under updated conditions, and Seller hereby confirms that it will accept such conditions as 

well as those set forth in Exemption No. 11240, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0894. 

The name and contact information for the applicant are:

Seller intends to operate the UX5 or the UX5hp from Trimble and will operate it in strict 

compliance with the conditions set forth in Exemption 11110, as such conditions may be 

amended or modified by the FAA from time to time, as was done in Exemption Nos. 11240 and 

11257, or such other conditions as the FAA shall specify, and the following manuals: 

1) Trimble UX5 Data Sheet; and 

2) Trimble UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution User Guide (User Guide) 

MANUFACTURING • GEOSPATIAL • MICROSCOPE • PLANETARIUM • NIGHT VISION 
Copies of these manuals are attached. 

These manuals are very similar to the manuals submitted by Trimble in support of the issuance 

of Exemption 11110, updated to reflect changes reported in Trimble's March 4. 2015 

amendment to Exemption 11110. The manuals will be updated by Trimble, as needed to reflect 

any changes to Exemption 11110, based on amendments thereto. 

Seller acknowledges that under current FAA guidance a separate Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization ("COA") is required to fly at altitudes in excess of 200 feet AGL, and it will apply 

for COAs where required. Seller hereby requests a blanket COA for flights up to 200 feet AGL 

in the form approved by the FAA. Seller will also file NOTAMs for its flights, as required. 

To the extent necessary, Seller refers the FAA to the original exemption and the amended 

exemption requests submitted by Trimble in Docket FAA-2014-0367 for demonstration of the 

public interest and an equivalent level of safety. Because the UX5 and the UXShp specified in 

this request are the same or, essentially the same, as the craft already approved in Exemption 

11110, and Seller will operate the aircraft in strict compliance with the conditions in existing 

exemptions previously granted by the FAA, or as they may be amended, notice need not be 

provided in the Federal Register nor public comment solicited.^ 

If you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.
