Dear Sir or Madam, SITECH Louisiana, LLC herewith applies for the issuance of an exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act 2012 based up Exemption 11110 issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd. ("Trimble') on December 10, 2014 in FAA Docket 2014-0367. The requested exemption would allow SITECH Louisiana to operate the UX5 aircraft manufacture by Trimble or other Trimble aircraft approved for commercial operations under 11110, as amended, such as the UX5HP or ZX5 for which an amendment has been filed. SITECH Louisiana notes that the FAA recently authorized use of the Trimble UX5 by a third party in Exemption Number 11257, Regulatory Docket Number FAA-2014-0889, on April 2, 2015, under updated conditions, and SITECH Louisiana hereby confirms that it will accept such conditions as well as those set forth in Exemption Number 11240, Regulatory Docket Number FAA-2014- 0894. The name and contact information for the application are as follows: James Thompson SITECH Louisiana, LLC 3895 O'Neal Lane Baton Rouge, LA 70816 (225) 293-6456 JThompson@SITECHLA.com SITECH Louisiana intends to operate the UX5, UX5HP, or the ZX5 from Trimble and will operate it in strict compliance with the conditions set for the in the Exemptions 11110, as such conditions may be amended or modified by the FAA from the time, as was done in Exemptions Numbers 11240 and 11257, or such other conditions as the FAA shall specify, and the following manuals:

1. Trimble UX5 Data Sheet 2. Trimble UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution User Guide (User Guide) 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 the changes reported in Trimble's March 4, 2015 amendment to Exemption 11110. These manuals will be updated by~

### Page 2 Trimble, as needed to reflect and changes to Exemption 11110, based on amendments thereto. SITECH Louisiana 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. SITECH Louisiana hereby requests a blanket COA for flights up to 200 feet AGL in the form approved by the FAA. SITECH Louisiana will also file NOTAMs for its flights as required. To the extent necessary, SITECH Louisiana refers the FAA to the original exemption and the amended exemption request submitted by Trimble in Docket FAA-2014-0367 for demonstration of the public interest and an equivalent level of safety. Because the UX5, UX5HP, or ZX5 specified in this request are the same or, essential the same, as the craft already approved in the Exemption 11110, and SITECH Louisiana will operate the aircraft in strict compliance with the conditions in the 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. Thank you,
