Introduction and Interests of the Petitioner

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the “Reform Act”) and 

14 C.F.R. Part 11, Kevin J Conrady, (“Kevin Conrady”) Operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems 

(“sUAS’s”) equipped to offer on-demand commercial UAS operations for a host of industries and 

applications and to perform the purposes listed below, hereby applies for an exemption from the 

listed Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) to allow commercial operation of its sUAVs/UAS, so 

long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may 

be established by the FAA in an exemption granted under either Section 333 or Section 49 U.S.C. 

§44701(f)

As described more fully below, the requested exemption would permit the operation of small, 

unmanned, and relatively inexpensive sUAS under controlled conditions in airspace that is 

1)1imited, 2) predetermined, 3) controlled as to access, and 4) would provide safety enhancements 

to the already safe operations in the infrastructure and business operations industry presently 

using conventional aircraft. As detailed in this document and the attached Appendix of UAS, the 

requested exemption would permit the operation of UAS platforms previously approved by the FAA 

for commercial operations in the United States. 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 

system." Section 333(c) of the Reform Act.

Background

The Petitioner, Kevin Conrady is a highly accomplished, capable, experienced and trusted 

professional with 15 years of experience operating a variety of UAS and has a Private Pilot’s License 

and a current 2nd Class Medical certificate. He has over 1,500 logged flight hours flying the RQ-2 

Pioneer UAV in COA and Restricted airspace while conducting training operations, and over 1,200 

logged flight hours flying the ScanEagle UAV in operational missions in Operation Enduring 

Freedom (OEF) and at sea from the deck of an Arleigh Burke destroyer conducting anti-piracy, antiterrorist and maritime operations. For the last 6 years he has logged over 750 hours conducting 

training for Army, Air Force, and Marine Special Forces personnel flying RQ-11B Raven, Puma and 

BATMAV sUAS in COA, Class G and Restricted airspace around the country.

If granted an exemption, he intends to build a company that provides UAS services including aerial 

data collection, photogrammetry, precision surveying and mapping, infrastructure inspection, 

geographical information science, photograph and videography for private, public and government 

sectors.

Description of Specific Regulations

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H- Airworthiness Certificates; 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1) - Civil aircraft: 

Certifications required

Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the 

issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203 (a)(1). Given the size and limited 

operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the applicant, an exemption from Part 

21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 

of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49U.S.C. §44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act 

both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, 

upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and 

populated areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that 

the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricted environment and under the 

conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or 

rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions 

proposed. 

The sUAS to be operated hereunder is less than 551bs. and carries neither a pilot nor passenger, 

carries no explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusively within a secured 

area as set out in the manual. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations under this exemption will be 

tightly controlled and monitored by both the operator and observer, pursuant to the Manual's 

policies, and in compliance with local public safety requirements, to provide security for the area of 

operations as is now done with conventional Precision Agriculture, 2D and 3D Mapping, 

Photography, Cinematography, Aerial Data Collection, Visual Inspection- Primarily towers, poles, 

pipelines, power lines, cables, bridges, chimneys, vertical structures, solar arrays, wind generators, 

power stations and substations, coal ash ponds, absorbers, and buildings. Real Estate, Golf Courses, 

Orthographic Photography, Special Events, Construction Progress, Public Service- Primarily: Search 

& Rescue, Law Enforcement, Fire, Security, Disaster Management & Relief, Wildfires, Floods, 

hurricanes, news broadcasting, and tornados. Banner towing, Announcements, animal tracking, 

Alzheimer patient tracking, Radiation detection, Noxious gas detection, Forestry & logging, 

Insurance Assessments, Surveys, Mining, volumetric Analysis, Research and development, traffic 

monitoring, and sporting events. The FAA will have advanced notice of all of these operations.
5 | P a g e

These safety enhancements, which already apply to civil aircraft operated in connection with 

Precision Agriculture, 2D and 3D Mapping, Photography, Cinematography, Aerial Data Collection, 

Visual Inspection- Primarily towers, poles, pipelines, power lines, cables, bridges, chimneys, vertical 

structures, solar arrays, wind generators, power stations and substations, coal ash ponds, 

absorbers, and buildings. Real Estate, Golf Courses, Orthographic Photography, Special Events, 

Construction Progress, Public Service- Primarily: Search & Rescue, Law Enforcement, Fire, Security, 

Disaster Management & Relief, Wildfires, Floods, hurricanes, news broadcasting, and tornados. 

Banner towing, Announcements, animal tracking, Alzheimer patient tracking, Radiation detection, 

Noxious gas detection, Forestry & logging, Insurance Assessments, Surveys, Mining, volumetric 

Analysis, Research and development, traffic monitoring, and sporting events, provide a greater 

degree of safety to the public and property owners than conventional operations conducted with 

airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. part 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application of these 

same criteria demonstrates that there is no credible threat to national security posed by the UAS, 

due to its size, speed of operation, location of operation, lack of explosive materials or flammable 

liquid fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load.

14 C.F.R. §45.23 (b)- Display of marks; general

The regulation requires that marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration 

number is displayed on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft or experimental or 

provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance 

to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, 

the words "limited," "Restricted," "Light-sport," "experimental," or "Provisional," as applicable. 

Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the 

UAS will have no entrance to a cabin, cockpit, or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" can 

be placed. Given the size of the sUAS, two-inch lettering will be impractical. The word 

"Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in compliance with §45.29 (f). 

The equivalent level of safety will be provided by having the sUAS marked on its fuselage as 

required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working with the sUAV will see the 

identification of the UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this 

regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 10167A.

14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b)- Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command

Sections 61.113 (a) & (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Because the UAS will 

not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level of safety of 

current operations by requiring the PIC operating the aircraft to have specially trained staff operate 

this small UAS. Unlike a conventional aircraft that carries the pilot and passengers, the sUAS is 

remotely controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance as set 

forth in the Manual. The level of safety provided by the requirements included in the Manual 

exceeds that provided by a single individual holding a commercial pilots certificate operating a 

conventional aircraft. The risks associated with the operation of the sUAS are so diminished from 

the level of risk associated with commercial operations contemplated by Part 61 when drafted, that 

allowing operations of the sUAS as requested by specially trained staff as the PIC exceeds the 

present level of safety achieved by 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b).
6 | P a g e

14 C.F.R. §91.7(a)- Civil aircraft airworthiness

The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy 

condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption 

be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. Given the size of 

the aircraft and the requirements contained in the Manual for maintenance and use of safety 

checklists prior to each flight, as set forth in Sections 9.1 and 9.6, an equivalent level of safety will 

be provided.

14 C.F.R. §91.9 (b) (2)- Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements

Section 91.9 (b) (2) provides: 

“No person may operate a U.S.- registered civil aircraft ⧿ (2) For which an airplane or rotorcraft 

Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a 

current Approved airplane or rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and 

placards, or any combination thereof.”

The sUAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a flight manual on 

the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is no room or capacity to 

carry such an item on the aircraft. 

The equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground control 

point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to it. 

The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607 8737, 8738, 

9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167A, 10602, 32827, and 10700.

14 C.F.R. §91.103- Preflight Action

This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the 

safety of flight. As FAA approved flight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft, an exemption 

will be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be provided as set forth in each aircraft specific 

Manual. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, 

landing and takeoff distances, and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight.

14 C.F. R. §91.109- Flight instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests

Section 91.103 provides that “no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) 

that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functional dual controls.”

Remotely piloted aircraft and sUAS’s, by their design do not have fully functional dual controls. 

Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that communicates with the aircraft 

via radio uplink. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual 

controls for a number of aircraft and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. See Exemption

Nos. 5778K & 9862A. The equivalent level of safety is provided by the fact that neither the pilot nor 

passengers will be carried in the aircraft and by the size and speed of the aircraft.
7 | P a g e

14 C.F.R. §91.119- Minimum safe altitudes: General

Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119(d) allows 

helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating 

the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. As this 

exemption is for sUAS and the exemption requests authority to operate at altitudes up to 400AGL, 

or not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which operation is planned, an 

exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As set forth herein, except for the limited 

conditions stated in the Manual the UAS will never operate at higher than 400 AGL. It will, however, 

be operated in a restricted area with a security perimeter, where buildings and people will not be 

exposed to operations without their pre-obtained consent. 

The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the UAS as well 

as the location where it is operated. No flight will be taken without the permission of the property 

owner, representatives of the property owner or local officials. Because of the advanced notice to 

the property owners and participants in the mission, all affected individuals will be aware of the 

planned flight operations. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft weighing far 

more than the maximum 55pounds. proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk 

associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented with conventional 

aircraft operating at or below 500 AGL in the Precision Agriculture, 2D and 3D Mapping, 

Photography, Cinematography, Aerial Data Collection, Visual Inspection- Primarily towers, poles, 

pipelines, power lines, cables, bridges, chimneys, vertical structures, solar arrays, wind generators, 

power stations and substations, coal ash ponds, absorbers, and buildings. Real Estate, Golf Courses, 

Orthographic Photography, Special Events, Construction Progress, Public Service- Primarily: Search 

& Rescue, Law Enforcement, Fire, Security, Disaster Management & Relief, Wildfires, Floods, 

hurricanes, news broadcasting, and tornados. Banner towing, Announcements, animal tracking, 

Alzheimer patient tracking, Radiation detection, Noxious gas detection, Forestry & logging, 

Insurance Assessments, Surveys, Mining, volumetric Analysis, Research and development, traffic 

monitoring, and sporting events. The FAA will have advanced notice of all of these operations. 

These safety enhancements, which already apply to civil aircraft operated in connection with 

Precision Agriculture, 2D and 3D Mapping, Photography, Cinematography, Aerial Data Collection, 

Visual Inspection- Primarily towers, poles, pipelines, power lines, cables, bridges, chimneys, vertical 

structures, solar arrays, wind generators, power stations and substations, coal ash ponds, 

absorbers, and buildings. Real Estate, Golf Courses, Orthographic Photography, Special Events, 

Construction Progress, Public Service- Primarily: Search & Rescue, Law Enforcement, Fire, Security, 

Disaster Management & Relief, Wildfires, Floods, hurricanes, news broadcasting, and tornados. 

Banner towing, Announcements, animal tracking, Alzheimer patient tracking, Radiation detection, 

Noxious gas detection, Forestry & logging, Insurance Assessments, Surveys, Mining, volumetric 

Analysis, Research and development, traffic monitoring, and sporting events industries. In addition, 

the low-altitude operations of the sUAS will ensure separation between these small UAS operations 

and the operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with Section 91.119.

14 C.F.R. §91.121- Altimeter Settings

This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by 

reference to an altimeter that is set to “the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate 

altimeter setting available before departure." As the sUAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but 

instead GPS altitude information, an exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be

achieved by the operator, pursuant to the aircraft Manual and safety checklist, confirming the 

altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indication before flight.
8 | P a g e

14 C.F.R. §91.151 (a) - Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions

Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under VFR 

conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to 

the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed - (1) During the day, to fly 

after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) at night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes." 

The battery powering the sUAS provides approximately 30-37 minutes of powered flight. To meet 

the 30 minute reserve requirement in 14 C.F.R. §91.151, sUAS flights would be limited to 

approximately 10 minutes in length. Given the limitations on the UAS's proposed flight area and the 

location of its proposed operations within a predetermined area, a longer time frame for flight in 

daylight or night VFR conditions is reasonable. 

Applicant believes that an exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.151 (a) falls within the scope of prior 

exemptions. See Exemption 10673 (allowing Lockheed Martin Corporation to operate without 

compliance with FAR 91.151 (a)). Operating the small UAS, in a tightly controlled area where only 

people and property owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed, 

with less than 30 minutes of reserve fuel, does not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151 

(a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed of the small UAS. Additionally, limiting sUAS

flights to 10 minutes would greatly reduce the utility for which the exemption will be granted. 

Applicant believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 25% of 

battery power. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the sUAS to its planned 

landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area. 

Similar exemptions have been granted to other operations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 

10673, 10808.

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b) - Civil aircraft: Certifications required

The regulation provides in pertinent part: 

(a) Except as provided in§ 91.715, “no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the 

following: 

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate... 

(b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate require by 

paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issues under §91. 715 is displayed at 

the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers and crew. “

The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 55 pounds and is operated without an onboard pilot. As 

such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents or to display them 

on the sUAS. 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control 

point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to the extent they are applicable to 

the sUAS. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample of 

other exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 

10700.
9 | P a g e

14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a) - Maintenance required; 407 (a) (1} - Operation after maintenance, 

preventive maintenance, rebuilding, or alteration; 409 (a) (2}; 417 (a) & (b) - Maintenance 

records

These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected as 

prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in 

paragraph (C) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in Part 43 of this chapter.," 

Given that these sections and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these 

sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator pursuant 

to the aircraft manual and operating handbook. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved 

because these small UAVs are very limited in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in 

restricted areas for limited periods of time. If mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately 

and will be operating from no higher than 400ft AGL. As provided in the Manual, the operator will 

ensure that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, 

and keep a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person most familiar 

with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the 

equivalent level of safety. 

UAS and Operational Description 

Kevin Conrady seeks to commercially operate a variety of UAS weighing less than 55 pounds 

including payload in the United States for the purpose of acquiring aerial data. Appendix (A)

attached to this exemption petition lists the aircraft that Kevin Conrady contemplates operating. In 

prior, similar exemptions the Secretary has approved every UAS platform included in Appendix (A). 

Equipment operation manuals for each sUAV are included for your reference and are considered 

confidential information for each respective company’s UAS and are affixed separately in these 

documents labeled Appendix (B).

 

As the operator of these aircraft, Kevin Conrady is committed to the following conditions and 

limitations on its operations. Kevin Conrady understands that failure to comply will be grounds for 

the immediate suspension or rescission any exemption granted. 

1. Operations are limited to the UAS listed in the Appendix (A) when weighing less than 55 pounds 

including payload. 

2. Operations for the purpose of closed-set motion picture and television filming are not 

contemplated. 

3. The aircraft will not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). In no case 

will the aircraft be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum aircraft operating airspeed 

recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.

4. The aircraft will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). 

Altitude must be reported in feet AGL. 

5. The aircraft will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the Pilot in Command (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 U.S. driver’s license. 
10 | P a g e

6. All operations will utilize a visual observer (VO). The aircraft will be operated within the visual 

line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. 

7. All operating documents needed to operate the UAS and will be accessible during UAS operations 

and made available to the Administrator upon request. The operator will also present updated and 

revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment. 

8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight 

characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component, will undergo a functional test flight 

prior to conducting further operations. 

9. Kevin Conrady is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a 

condition for safe operation. 

10. Prior to each flight, the PIC will conduct a pre-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a 

condition for safe flight. 

11. Kevin Conrady will follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, 

inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. 

12. Each UAS operated under this exemption will comply with all manufacturer safety bulletins. 

13. The PIC will hold a UAS flight training certificate, in some cases training directly from the 

aircraft manufacturer, and a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, 

Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. 

14. Kevin Conrady will not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to 

safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated to acquire aerial 

data, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from 

persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency will be logged 

in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Kevin Conrady will operate flights for the purposes 

of training Kevin Conrady PICs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experience building) and 

determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS. 

15. UAS operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations 

will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). 

16. The aircraft will not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as 

denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an 

ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA-published aeronautical chart, 

unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by 

a COA. 

17. The aircraft will 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. 

18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the aircraft will return to a predetermined location. 
11 | P a g e

19. The PIC will abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 

20. The PIC will be prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast 

weather conditions) there is enough available power or fuel for the aircraft to conduct the intended 

operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power or fuel 

recommended by the manufacturer if greater. 

21. All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO-issued COA if the blanket COA 

does not cover the intended operation. 

22. All aircraft operated will be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR 

part 47, and have identification

(N−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large as 

practicable. 

23. Documents used by Kevin Conrady to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any 

documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be available to the PIC at the Ground 

Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating.

 

24. The aircraft will remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all 

times.

25. The UAS may be operated by the PIC from a moving device or vehicle; however, specific 

requests will be made via subsequent COA. 

26. All flight operations will be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, 

vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently 

protect nonparticipating persons from the aircraft or debris in the event of an accident; or 

b. The owner/controller/operator of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for 

operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made an assessment of the risk of operating closer 

to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. 

27. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons will not be considered nonparticipating 

persons under this exemption. 

28. All operations conducted over private or controlled-access property will be conducted with the 

permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from 

property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be 

conducted. 

29. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of 

the operational area as defined by the applicable COA will be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration 

Office (AFS−80) within 24 hours. Accidents will be reported to the National Transportation Safety 

Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov.

The applicant proposes that the exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that have the 

characteristics and that operate within the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for at 

least an equivalent or even higher level of safety to operations under the current and proposed 

regulatory structure. 

Previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Section 91.151 establish that safety is not

adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations of the UA’s are

considered.

The operation of small UAS’s, weighing less than 55 pounds, conducted in the strict conditions 

outlined in “UAS and Operational Description” above, will provide an equivalent level of safety 

supporting the grant of the exemptions requested herein, including exempting the applicant from 

the requirements of Part 21 and allowing commercial operations. These lightweight aircraft 

operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in a sterile environment and, as a result, are far 

safer than conventional operations conducted with manned aircraft operating in close proximity to 

the ground and people.

Public Interest 

Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operations of UAS’s for aerial acquisition of data 

enhances safety while reducing risk. Manned aircraft in certain application such as pipeline 

monitoring create a greater risk because the aircraft are much larger and carry an onboard human 

pilot. In contrast, a UAS weighing 55 pounds or less will carry no passengers or crew and, therefore, 

will not expose them to the risks associated with manned aircraft flights. In addition, streams of 

aerial data will allow large commercial entities to make decisions about how to best deploy ground 

resources and ensure the safety and cost-effectiveness of their operations.

Privacy 

All flights will occur over private or controlled access property with the property owner’s prior 

consent and knowledge. Images or video taken of individuals will have consented to being filmed or 

otherwise they will be made anonymous.

National Security 

Given the small size of the UAS involved and the restricted environment within which they will 

operate presents no national security issue.
