Unmanned Aircraft Systems: DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspire 1 UASs VINCENT WATERS seeks an exemption to operate DJI systems for compensation or hire within the NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 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 DJI Phantom 3 has a maximum gross weight of approximately 2 pounds 14 ounces, while having a length of 16 inches width of 16 inches, height of 8 inches, and a maximum speed of approximately 29 knots. The DJI Inspire 1 has a maximum gross weight of 6 pounds 7.5 ounces, a length of 17.3 inches, width of 17.7 inches, height of 11.8 inches, and a maximum speed of approximately 42 knots. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UAs are equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electric motors.

The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs that will be operated by VINCENT WATERS will be registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft, as well as 14 C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration, and marked in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 45, Identification and Registration Markings.

BASIS FOR PETITION

Petitioner, VINCENT WATERS , pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspire 1 UASs in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).

In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, VINCENT WATERS operation of DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASsmeets the conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

Accordingly, VINCENT WATERS requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate.

VINCENT WATERS submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety will be ensured. VINCENT WATERS will use experienced personnel or technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, VINCENT WATERS will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs.

Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by VINCENT WATERS to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as an airman medical certificate, and who has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

VINCENT WATERS seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, VINCENT WATERS submits that he will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs are in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UASs are in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual), and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight.

VINCENT WATERS also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UAs will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with VINCENT WATERS operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121.

Additionally, VINCENT WATERS seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. VINCENT WATERS submits that safety will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of approximately 15.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes.In accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 11.81, VINCENT WATERS provides the following information in support of its petition for exemption:

C. The Extent Of Relief VINCENT WATERS Seeks And The Reason VINCENT WATERS Seeks The Relief. 1. Extent Of Relief VINCENT WATERS Seeks And The Reason VINCENT WATERS Seeks Relief From Section 61.113(a) And (b). Relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested to the extent necessary to allow a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, to conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or hire. This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.As set forth more fully below, VINCENT WATERS submits that an equivalent level of safety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate either the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as described in this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Further, VINCENT WATERS submits that all flights of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, conducted by the PIC pursuant to the grant of this Petition: (1) will be incidental to VINCENT WATERS business; and (2) will not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. 2. Extent Of Relief VINCENT WATERS Seeks And The Reason VINCENT WATERS Seeks Relief From Section 91.7(a). Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, is requested to the extent required to allow VINCENT WATERS to determine that the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in airworthy condition prior to every flight by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., VINCENT WATERS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). VINCENT WATERS seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, VINCENT WATERS will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) prior to every flight, and further, determine that the aircraft are in condition for safe flight, as stated in the conditions and limitations below. 3. Extent Of Relief VINCENT WATERS Seeks And The Reason VINCENT WATERS Seeks Relief From Section 91.121. Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings, may be required to allow flight operations of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UA to the PIC at the ground control station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in feet above ground level (AGL), VINCENT WATERS seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UA’s altimeter may be set on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitude, before each flight. Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations, relief from 14 CFR 91.121 is sought to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As more fully set forth herein, an equivalent level of safety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a ground level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information of the UA on the heads-up display of the GCS. 4. Extent Of Relief VINCENT WATERS Seeks And The Reason VINCENT WATERS Seeks Relief From Section 91.151(b). Relief from Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions, isrequested to the extent required to allow flights of the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 15.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. VINCENT WATERS seeks the requested relief because without an exemption from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration of the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that VINCENT WATERS proposes to conduct pursuant to this Petition. Significantly, as set forth below, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 operating documents, and VINCENT WATERS proposed operating limitations, ensure that VINCENT WATERS will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. 5. Extent Of Relief VINCENT WATERS Seeks And The Reason VINCENT WATERS Seeks Relief From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, VINCENT WATERS requests relief from these Sections because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, VINCENT WATERS will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., VINCENT WATERS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, VINCENT WATERS will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs.

D. The Reasons Why Granting VINCENT WATERS Request Would Be In The Public Interest: That Is, How It Would Benefit The Public As A Whole.

Granting the present Petition will further the public interest by allowing VINCENT WATERS to safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, and landscape over certain areas of the United States. Additionally, use of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, crashes and accidents caused by pilot error and provide significant benefits to the economy. Notably, the benefits of VINCENT WATERS’ proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be realized without implicating any privacy issues. 1. The Public Will Benefit From Decreased Congestion Of The NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. By reducing the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS would reduce the amount of mannedaircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safety of life and property in the air and on the ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a reduction of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations. 2. The Public Will Benefit From The Safety And Efficiency Of The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, instead of manned aircraft, will greatly benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gallons per hour of leaded aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs, while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAs are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air and on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs (weighing approximately 2 pounds 14 ounces and 6 pounds 7.5 ounces respectively, at their maximum gross weights with lengths of 16 inches and 17.3 inches respectively, widths of 16 inches and 17.7 inches respectively, and with no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of approximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons). 3. Performing Aerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Will Benefit The Economy. In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will allow United States based companies, like Fiquett Drones, to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in order to remain competitive. Operating the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs is one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraft. By operating the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, companies such as Fiquett Drones, can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employeesand contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved financial performance of U.S. companies, through commercial use of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, provides a stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to remain competitive both in the United States and abroad. 4. There Are No Privacy Issues. Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, VINCENT WATERS proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs would not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., VINCENT WATERS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119.

E. The Reasons Why Granting The Exemption Would Not Adversely Affect Safety, Or How The Exemption Would Provide A Level Of Safety At Least Equal To That Provided By The Rule From Which VINCENT WATERS Seeks Exemption.

1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs Meet The Conditions Of The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333. In consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, VINCENT WATERS operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. Specifically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in part:

a. In General. --Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and rulemaking required by section 332 of this Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this Act. b. Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. --In making the determination under subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimum— i. Which types of unmanned aircraft systems, if any, as a result of their size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight do not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public or pose a threat to national security; and whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1).

c. Requirements for Safe Operation. --If the Secretary determines under this section thatcertain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system.

In seeking this exemption, VINCENT WATERS submits that the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs can operate safely in the NAS pursuant to FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations. i. The Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Demonstrate Its Safe Characteristics. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security considering its size, weight, speed, and operational capability. ii. Technical Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Specifications and Data Sheet, attached hereto as Appendix A and B, set the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs forth. iii. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Autonomous Flight And Navigation Modes Enable The UASs To Remain Within A Defined Operational Area. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs may be operated in both manual and fully autonomous flight modes. A complete description of the flight and navigational modes of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs is provided at pages 25-35 of the DJI Phantom 3 and pages 12-16 and 45-50 of the DJI Inspire 1 User Manuals, attached hereto as Exhibit C and D. iv. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Are Designed For Automatic Return To Home Point Or Hover In The Event Of Loss Of The Control Link Or Navigation. When the Control Link is lost, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will remain stationary, in flight, for 3 seconds or more. If, after 3 seconds, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs do not reacquire control link data from the GCS, the UAs will assume that the Control Link is lost and the UAs will return to the home position (i.e., failsafe mode) via GPS, and will descend to the takeoff position and shutdown. A complete description of the Failsafe Functions of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are set forth at pages 27 through 29 and for the DJI Inspire 1 at pages 13 through 15 of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 User Manuals, attached hereto as Exhibit C and D.

v. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 GCS And It’s Operation. A complete description of the operation and specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 GCS and flight control software is provided at pages 32 through 43 of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manual and pages 40 through 47 of the DJI Inspire 1 User Manual. DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 User Manuals are attached hereto as Exhibits C and D. vi. Flight Operations Of DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Are LimitedTo The Line Of Sight Of A Certificated Pilot in Command With A Safety Observer. VINCENT WATERS will only utilize certificated pilots who possess a current and valid airman medical certificate to act as a pilot in command (PIC) of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. Additionally, a safety observer will assist all pilots during flight time. vii. Flights Of DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Will Be Conducted Pursuant To Specific Operating Limitations. In seeking this exemption, VINCENT WATERS proposes to commercially operate DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs for the special purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of United States, pursuant to the following specific operating limitations: 1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption will be limited to the following aircraft described in the operating documents, rotorcraft UASs weighing less than 55 pounds maximum gross weight: DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this grant. 2. UAS operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose of aerial video and photography. 3. The UAs may not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 20 knots. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 500 feet above ground level (AGL), as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents unless a special request is made and approved by ATC. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL. 5. The UAs must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA-issued airman medical certificate. 6. The use of first person view (FPV) by the PIC or safety observer (SO) is not permitted. 7. All operations must utilize a safety observer (SO). The SO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The SO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times. Electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the SO can perform the functions prescribed in the operating documents. 8. The SO must not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/ obstructions and is not permitted to operate the camera or other instruments. 9. The operating documents and the grant of exemption must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator uponrequest. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to the grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the operator must petition for amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 10. Prior to each flight the PIC must inspect the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition f or safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Station must be included in the preflight inspection. All maintenance and alterations must be properly documented in the aircraft records. 11. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make an entry in the aircraft records. 12. The pre-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, items, or equipment, not already covered in the relevant sections of the operating documents. 13. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. 14. The operator must carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts must be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UAS to service. 15. Each UASs operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer Safety Bulletins. 16. The authorized person must make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections.17. The PIC must possess at least a private pilot certificate and at least a current third-class medical certificate. 18. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC meets the operator’s qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs are permitted under the terms of the exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted duringdedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experiencebuilding flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 91.119. 19. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 C.F.R. § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). If flight at night is required, a special request will be made at the FAA office closest to proposed area of operations. Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 20. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator’s COA. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator upon request. 21. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 22. If the UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it must return to a pre-determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating documents. 23. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents. 24. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and land the UA with 25% battery power remaining. 25. The operator must obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. This COA will also require the operator to request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 48 hours prior to the operation. Alloperations shall be conducted in accordance with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA including class of airspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements. 26. All aircraft operated in accordance with the exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 47, and have identification (N- Number) markings in accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable. 27. Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UA must comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 28. The documents required fewer than 14 C.F.R. 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the UAS is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 29. The UA must remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 30. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 31. Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons (persons other than the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons), vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately and/or; b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard, and;

c. Operations nearer to the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a). 32. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with permission from the land owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from land owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 33. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the NationalTransportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Website: www.ntsb.gov. 2. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 61.113(a) And (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. VINCENT WATERS submits that the equivalent level of safety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and

structures. Considering VINCENT WATERS proposed area of operations, and the operating limitations set forth-above; the parallel nature of private pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 11062); and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS, VINCENT WATERS submits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for VINCENT WATERS specific proposed flight operations. The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). VINCENT WATERS will not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements or the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS training and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of 5 hours of those hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption). In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). As in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during VINCENT WATERS proposed operations. The Administrator has held that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: In Exemption No. 11062, the FAA required that prior to conducting operations for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi-rotor UAS. Prior to operations under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption. For clarification, the FAA considers these minimum hour requirements to be inclusive rather than additive; i.e. 5 hours make and model time may be included in the 10hours of multi-rotor time and the 10 hours may be included in the total 25 hours of UAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds that at a minimum, the flight hour requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency in the skills necessary to safely conduct the petitioner’s proposed operations. The FAA also finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance withapplicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Training, proficiency, and experiencebuilding flights can also be conducted under the grant of exemption to accomplish the required flight time. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights the PIC is required to operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119.

Exemption No. 11138 at page 15. Accordingly, VINCENT WATERS will ensure safe operations by not allowing any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

CONCLUSION VINCENT WATERS seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), which will permit safe operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercially, without an airworthiness certificate, for the limited purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States. By granting this Petition, the FAA Administrator will be fulfilling the Congressional mandate of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, while also advancing the interests of the public, by allowing VINCENT WATERS to safely, efficiently, and economically operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercially within the NAS. WHEREFORE, in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Section 333, VINCENT WATERS respectfully requests that the Administrator grant this Petition for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a) (1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), and permit VINCENT WATERS to operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercially for the purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States.
