RE: Section 333 Exemption Request 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 

(the "Reform Act") and 14 CFR Part 11, Contract UAV LLC, seeks an exemption from 

Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") to allow commercial operation of its smallunmanned aircraft systems ("sUASs"), for the purpose of Photography, Videography 

and Data Collection. 

ContractUAV, LLC. will utilize the DJI Inspire 1 Professional, Phantom 3, 

S900 and SlOOO to conduct business. All of these aircraft have been previously 

approved for Section 333 exemptions and are well-known, heavily used and highly 

reliable. Operational manuals, specifications and pre-flight check list for all the 

above mentioned UAS are attached (see Attachment A, B, C and D). 

Granting a 333 exemption will permit the use of sUASs under controlled 

conditions in airspace that is limited, predetermined, controlled as to access and 

would provide safety for both the public and private sectors. In addition, the 

requested exemption would allow the use of the above noted sUASs to safely 

operate in National Airspace "NAS" that is outlined in Section 333(c) of the Reform 

Act. 

The requested exemption would also support an application for a 

commercial Certificate of Authorization to use the sUASs, described above, so that 

ContractUAV, LLC will be able to conduct business for the following purposes: 

• Aerial photography and videography of commercial, industrial and 

residential real estate 

• Agricultural surveying and mapping 
• Infrastructure inspection for construction and utility businesses of 

wind turbines, cell towers, pipelines and bridge inspections 

• Insurance inspections to assess property condition and damage 

assessment data

Public Interest and Safety: 

ContractUAV, LLC is committed to safety and willingly participates with local 

schools, police and fire department to aid in education, research and promoting 

community welfare related to operation of its UAS. 
The sUASs noted above do not create a hazard to users of the NAS, the public 

and pose no threat to national security due to: 

• Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and regulated areas 

• The UAS's size, weight, speed and operational capability 

• Operation of the UAS within visual line of sight of the operator 

Additionally, flights will be conducted under 400 feet AGL thereby avoiding 

interference with users of the NAS. Flights will be suspended immediately to yield 

right of way to any other aircraft. Geo-fencing will be utilized to contain the UAS 

inside intended area. The test site will be secured and only authorized personnel 

will be permitted in the operating area where possible. 

Please contact me at 678-464-6925 for any questions or concerns. 

Respectfully,
