To Whom It May Concern: 

My name is Ryan Lerwill and I am submitting this request for an exemption of 

section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations 

from 14 C.F.R 45.23(b);14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113( a) & (b);91.7 (a); 91.9 (b) (2);91.103(b); 

91.105; 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a);91.203(a) and (b); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) 

(1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.409 (a) (2) and 91.417 (a) & (b) 

Background 

I work in the real estate industry and specialize in long distance buyers. When 

purchasing a piece of property, especially the size of the properties that are 

purchased in Idaho, it is of significant benefit to use an UAS for aerial photography 

and videography to help the buyer make an informed decision about the piece of 

property being purchased. This also includes the purchase of homes. Many out-ofstate buyers see the benefit of being able to see aerial photographs and video of high 

eves, roofs, etc. to note their condition before making an offer on a home. 

Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft System 

The UAS I will be using is a small rotorcraft weighing less than 55 pounds with any 

and all payload. These UAS's operate at a speed no greater than 30 knots and can 

climb to an altitude no higher than 400ft AGL. It operates only in the line of my sight 

as the sole operator and within a radius of 300ft. It does, however, have the 

capability of a 1200ft radius of operation, but I have found, in my recreational use, 

that the line of sight is typically within 300ft of the operator. These flight 

restrictions ensure that it is not a hazard to the airspace in which it will be operated. 

EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT 

This UAS falls within the safety zone that the FAA will, with an exemption in place, 

allow commercial operation of a UAS. 

The particular UAS that will be operated is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+. The specific 

specifications are found on the following pages:

Procedures for Flight 

The pilot in command will be Rick Robinson, a private pilot license holder. Rick is 

an avid aviation enthusiast and understand the necessity for safety when flying an 

airplane or an UAS. The procedures for flight are as follows (in no particular order): 

1. With an observer (myself, Ryan Lerwill, and UAS pilot in training) make a 

walk around the area that is going to be filmed or photographed by the UAS. 

We will observe the location of trees, power lines, or any other obstacle that 

may interfere with the safe flight of an UAS. 

2. Ensure that nothing will prevent a line-of-sight operation during the flight. 

3. Test batteries in UAS, remote controls, and range extenders. The only 

acceptable battery level will be above 75% before takeoff. The UAS will be 

grounded before the battery level (which is monitored remotely) reaches 

25%. 

4. Conduct a pre-flight checklist (see appendix) 

5. Review the plan for the flight with the observer. Review altitudes, distances, 

and movements of the UAS. 

6. Ensure the PIC has license and medical on hand. 

7. Establish a security perimeter for observers. Care will also be taken to 

obtain the consent of all persons involved in the area and ensure a perimeter 

of 100ft is kept of the flight operation to maintain a sterile area. 

8. The operator will file FAA Form 7711-1 or equivalent, with the appropriate 

Flight Standards District Office. 

9. 3 days prior to the operation of an UAS, the PIC will submit a written plan of 

activities to the FSDO if required. 

10. PIC and observer will maintain communication throughout the entire flight. 

11. Permission from homeowner, landowner, or other property owner will be 

obtained prior to flight. 

12. Permission from the local authorities will be obtains prior to flight. 

13. In the event the UAS loses signal, the built in programming will force the UAS 

to return to is location of take off, and will safely land and power down. 

14. Flights have the capability of being aborted due to unpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies. 

Radio Frequency 

This particular UAS operates at a frequency of 5.728 GHz-5.85 GHz. It is compliant 

with the FCC to BOOm. The power of the radio falls within the FCC compliance of 

100mW.

EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT I 

Qualifications of UAS PIC 

At all times, the PIC of the UAS will be an FAA certified Private Pilot with a current 

3rd class medical. Because the UAS will not carry passengers and will fly within a 

restricted area, it will exceed the safety standards set forth in 14 C.F.R 61.113 a & b. 

The PIC will also undergo training that the FAA will require to operate such UAS. 

The PIC will have over 100 hours of flight time. The PIC will also carry at all times a 

portable 2-way radio for air traffic monitoring and announcement of the location of 

the UAS if required by the FAA. At all times there will be an observer who will also 

monitor the UAS, surrounding buildings or obstacles, observers, and will be the 

second set of eyes to warn of any dangers that may affect the safe flight of the UAS. 

Operations of the Unmanned Aircraft 

As stated earlier, the UAS will be a tool mostly for out of state real estate clients to 

be able to view properties, view entire structures, and educate them more fully 

before entering into a real estate transaction. 

The flights of the UAS will not pose a safety threat with the proper procedures in 

place as mentioned in the section "Procedures for Flight." As described earlier, 

there will, at all times, be an observer, a safety perimeter of 100 feet, battery levels 

above 75% before flight, a full pre-flight checklist and run-up, review of the flight 

plan, permission of property owners, written plan submitted to the FSDO if 

required, proper communication between PIC and observer, and permission from 

local authorities. Flights will only be conducted during daylight hours. 

The UAS does not have the capability to fly over 29.1577 knots and speeds will 

generally be around 3-10 knots. The UAS will not be operated if clouds are at a level 

below 700ft AGL. This will ensure a safe distance from clouds and any low-flying 

aircraft. 

The indented area of operation will be in rural settings, as well as neighborhoods 

where homes are on lots over one-half acre and have a distance of75-100 feet 

between homes. It will not be used in high-density residential settings as that could 

pose too many safety concerns. Potential hazards in the intended area of operation 

are trees, power lines, structures, street lights, and fences. Because of the slow flight 

of the UAS when in operation for videography and photography for the intended 

purpose, the PIC and observer will be able to safely maneuver the UAS around the 

obstacles. The UAS also has capabilities of hovering in place which allows it to be 

flown at very low speeds. 

The intended cities and counties of use have small non-towered municipal airports. 

The UAS will never be flown near the airports so as to pose any sort of safety 

concern to pilots in the area. The altitude of the UAS will barely be above structures 

which should no pose any concern to piloted aircraft in the area. But for added 

safety, a 2-way radio to communicate to air traffic will always be on hand. This UAS 

will NEVER be flown within a S-mile radius of any large international airport. The 

UAS has built in restrictions that prevent flight within those distances from an

airport. The built in flight restrictions prevent takeoff in a S-mile radius of a large 

International airport such as LAX, SLC, etc. The UAS will also be prevented from 

taking off within .6 miles of a smaller regional airport such as IDA. If the UAS is in 

flight and tries to fly into a no-fly zone, the UAS will stop and return back. 

If required be the FAA, I will notify the FSDO of my flight operations prior to flight. 

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, 91.203(a) & (b) Airworthiness Certificate 

Because the UAS is under SSlbs, fully loaded, and does not carry a pilot, passenger, 

any explosive materials or flammable fuel, operates in a fully restricted and 

controlled environment, I request exemption from 91.203 part A & B. 

14 C.F.R. 45.23 B Marking the Aircraft 

The UAS will not have an airworthiness certificate and because there is no entrance 

to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, there is no place inside the aircraft to place the 

word "Experimental." If required by the FAA, I will place the word "Experimental" 

on the exterior of the UAS. However, due to the size, 2 inch lettering will not be 

possible. 

14 C.F.R. 61.113 A & B Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in 

Command 

Unlike civil aircraft, the UAS does not carry living things on board; rather, it is 

controlled remotely via a safe and restricted location. The risks during operation 

are so minuscule that the PIC will exceed the present level of safety required for a 

commercial pilot to operate a rotorcraft with a commercial license. 

14 C.F.R. 91.9 B(2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft 

Because of the size and configuration of the UAS, no such manual can be carried. 

The flight manual will be carried at the ground station where the PIC and observer 

are operating the UAS. 

14 C.F.R. 91.103 B(2): Preflight Action 

A thorough pre-flight inspection and run-up of the aircraft will be performed prior 

to any flight of the UAS. Please see the appendix for the pre-flight checklist. 

14 C.F.R. 91.105: Flight Crewmembers at Station 

Because there are no souls on board a UAS, regulation 91.105 should be exempt 

from my purposes of using a UAS. However, crewmembers will be on the ground 

and in direct communication, namely the PIC and Observer. 

14 C.F.R. 91.109: Flight Instruction 

The UAS does not have dual controls. The PIC communicates to the UAS via a radio 

control box. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully 

functional dual controls for a number of aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes

EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT : 

The UAS will never operate at an altitude greater than 400ft AGL. It will be operated 

within a restricted area and with the consent of any and all persons or property 

involved. 

14 C.F.R. 91.121 Altimeter Settings 

The UAS that will be used does not have an altimeter. Rather, it uses GPS to 

determine the altitude. Since the normal protocol is to set your altimeter to the 

barometric pressure reading at the time of flight, an exemption will be needed. A 

safety check will be performed before each flight ensuring that the GPS altitude is 

reading correctly. 

14 C.F.R. 91.151: Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions 

The battery in the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ is capable of 25 minutes of powered flight. 

Given that the UAS will never be further than 300ft away and 400ft AGL, the longest 

possible time it could take the UAS to return to the ground safely is approximately 

1.5 minutes. I categorize battery life under 10 minutes as the danger zone. The UAS 

will automatically return to its point of origin and safely land when the battery life 

reaches 2 minutes. Battery life as well as flight-time remaining is displayed on the 

screen visible to the PIC and observer. For safe flight, I will never fly the UAS with 

under 10 minutes of battery life. 

14 C.F.R. 91.203 A & B: Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration 

The UAS weighs under 55 pounds and does not have an on-board pilot operating it. 

The UAS is not capable of carrying such documents should they be required. These 

documents, if required by the FAA, will be carried by the PIC and will be accessible 

upon request immediately. 

14 C.F.R. 91.405 A; 407 A(1); 409 A (2); 417 A & B: Maintenance Inspections 

This regulation applies to aircraft that have an airworthiness certificate and should 

not apply to the operation of my intended use for the UAS. However, regular 

maintenance, checks, and cleaning of the UAS will be performed before each flight 

and if required by the FAA, can be logged into a log book and surrendered upon 

request. Regular maintenance will include cleaning of the 4 motors on the UAS 

Rotorcraft, motor testing, flight control testing, checking lights, and a cleaning of the 

entire UAS. 

Should a mechanical issue arise during a flight, the UAS will land immediately and 

should not pose a safety concern because of its lightweight, restricted flying area, 

and low and slow maneuvering. 

General Summary 

I feel that my operation of the UAS will meet and exceed all current safety standards 

set forth by the FAA. I am seeking exemption from the following rules: 

14 C.F.R. §21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R 45.23(b);14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113( a) & (b);91.7 (a); 

91.9 (b) (2);91.103(b); 91.105; 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a);91.203(a) and

I feel that the criteria for exemption in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012 

(namely size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and 

populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security) have 

been satisfied and adequate justification has been provided for this exemption.

2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes 

(1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. 

(2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until 

there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power 

cycling procedure will optimize the battery. 

(3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and' charge 

the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should be varied in these maintenance 

charges - ( 40%-50% }-0%-1 00%-( 40%-50% ). 

(4) Purchase a new battery after your current' battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a 

battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. 

(5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. 

(6) Never recharge or fly with a battery that is swollen or damaged '1n any way. 

(7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on. a non-flammable surface such as concrete and 

never near any flammable materials. 

(8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

:.\j: Discharging methods: 

Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on: Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the. battery 

can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do ·not need to be turned on, 

reducing wear. 

Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be 

turned on.

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz freq.llency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+: 

In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can l;le reduced b)itrees, 

buildings and other sources of'the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. ' 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label as 

'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The')()()()()()(' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address. for the Range Extender. 

This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App._

2. 1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of 

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the 

motors. Once the moiors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. · 

2.2 Stopping Motors 

There afe two _methods to stop the motors. 

Figure 49 

Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. 

Release both sticks once motors stop. 

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, ·push the throttle dowri and hOld. Motors will stop after 3 seconds. 

[1] [2] 

Figure 50 Figure 51 

0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. · 

;IJ: • Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the. sticks once motors start/stop. 

• Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft. will descend steadily. Push 

the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock. · 

3 Flight Test 

3.1Take off/Landing Procedures 

( 1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 

(2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. 

(3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page,. 

(4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, 

it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the esc command to start motors. 

(5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18) for more details. 

(6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. 

(7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. _ 

(8) After landing, execute the esc command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the 

motors stop. 

(9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller.

• When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft lias entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. - . -

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. .. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplusiiraining. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density·and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance 

may be reduced. 

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips 

( 1) Work through the check list before each flight. 

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized .. 

(3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. 

(4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny oi windless days. 

(5) Change coimera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 

(6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

4 i=ailsaf~ f!;Uitlcitiot:i 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. .. ., 

~ l:.P Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status· (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the horne. point. 

• When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calcvlate the horizontaJ dist<Jnce of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. 

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled -ffiobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to 

obtain higher.accuracyof the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. . · 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

(1) The Remote Controller is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. 

( 4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuse.s will results in different landing processes. 

Ready to Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Flight Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly- Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly ba.ck to the home point and land.

·Lt. • To ensure the aircraft successful return to home alter Failsafe activation, aim to only fly in Ready to Fly mode. 

• The Phantom will automatically descend during the Failsafe process if there are less than 6 GPS satellites 

detected for more than 20 seconds. 

• When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft's position and altitude if the remote 

controller signal is recovered. 

• Aircraft cannot navigate around vertical obstacles on its return home course during Failsafe. However, you can set 

return home altitude value in Phantom Assistant io avoid hitting vertical obstacles through DJI Phantom Assistant. 

Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the Remote C~ntroller from top to bottom 5 times or more will reset the current 

aircraft position as a new home point. Rear LE.D flight indicators will blink green rapidly when successful.

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? · 

Appendix 

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute· the 

esc and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. 

(1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered wh,en powering on th.e 

Phantom 2 Vision+. · 

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ 

to re-record the mid-point. · 

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller stic~s 

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling iS required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to OJ I Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. · 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe. mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and 

land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstaCles between the Phantom and the home point and that you 

are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. · 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1080i60 video files.

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi Extender. 

Solution: Sorne Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection 

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored. 

3.10 App tips for mobile devices. 

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the esc command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What ifl accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? 

If DJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. 

If DJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraft within i minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.
