**BASIS FOR THE AMENDMENT TO EXEMPTION #12113**

**KADOO AERIAL** received a 333 Exemption # 12113 to operate an X

- UAV Skysurfer MAX to conduct aerial photography and videography, inspections, and monitoring. Upon testing and research, I Cody A. Porter Owner/ Operator of KADOO AERIAL have determined that the X

- UAV Skysurfer MAX is not suitable for future application at KADOO AERIAL, due to the design of the aircraft, it was not able to carry the aerial camera we were going to attach for inspections. I am amendi ng that it be removed from #1 of Conditions and Limitations granted to KADOO AERIAL Exemption #12113

. I would like to amend to add two addition UAS that will be replacing the X

- UAV Skysurfer MAX. KADOO AERIAL has not registered the X

- UAV Skysurfer MAX so no commercial operations have or will be conducted. KADOO AERIAL is requesting this amendment to operate two additional UAS. The KA X800 Multirotor and Skywalker 1900. **UAS that KADOO AERIAL is seek**  **ing to add upon removal of the X**
**- UAV Skywalker MAX**  The fir st UAS I am requesting to add to KADOO AERIAL Exemption #12113 Conditions and Limitations part #1 is the **KA X800 Multirotor.**  The KA X800 Multirotor has an overall flying weight of 5.0 pounds with a total width of 42 inches. Additional information is attac hed below. The second UAS I am requesting to add to KADOO AERIAL Exemption #12113 Conditions and Limitations part #1 is the **SkyWalker 1900.** The SkyWalker 1900 has a total flying weight of 4.2 pounds. The wing span is 75 inches. Additional information has b een attached below. All operations that were approved for the X

- UAV Skysurfer MAX will be followed for the KA X800 Multirotor and the Skywalker 1900 including the safety and maintenance checks upon approval of this amendment. **CONCLUSTION** KADOO AERIAL is requesting an amendment to #1 of the Conditions and Limitati ons issued with Exemption #12113 for KADOO AERIAL. KADOO AERIAL would like to remove the X

- UAV Skysurfer MAX and replace it with the #1 KA X800 Multirotor and the #2 Skywalker 1900 in part #1 of Conditions and Limitations for Exemption #12113. Thank You,

Cody Porter Owner/ Operator KADOO AERIAL August 6, 2015**ADDITIONAL INFORMATION**

I believe allowing KADOO AERIAL to amend and a dd these UAS to the Conditions and Limitations part #1 of Exemption #12113 will allow for even safer operations because they have the ability to carry the ARDUPILOT flight controller board giving KADOO AERIAL the ability to Geo Fence which will allow KADOO AERIAL to set a predetermined distance from the opera tor that will automatically return to the predetermined launch site if the UAS reaches a certain distance away from the operator. And the ARDUPILOT will also allow you to program points of no fly zones and return to a safe fly zone and alert the operator t hat the UAS was near a potential no fly zone boundary. The ARDUPILOT also has a built in barometer and optional attachment of a sonar device for height above ground. Which will allow you to set a predetermined height and will alert you if you are near that height at any time. The ARDUPILOT also has the ability to measure real

-time data and send it via telemetry to a ground station that will audibly play alerts and warnings and will return to the launch site if a failure were to occur.**UAS INFORMATION KA X800 Multirotor**  KA X800 Multirotor 800mm Carbon fiber frame w/ aluminum arms.
