### &JEFF MORIARTY'S operation ofthe DJI Inspire 1 UA meetsthe conditions of FMRASection 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Accordingly, MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTY requests relief from Sections 91 .405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) 

### &(a)(2), and 91.417(a) 

### &(b), as these sections setforth requirements for maintenance that only applyto aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate. MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTY submitsthatthe requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safetywill be ensured. MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill use experienced personnel ortechnicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill documentand maintain all maintenance records for the OJI Inspire 1 UA. 

### Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled 

### Private Pilot Privileges andLimitations: Pilotin Command, is requested by MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYto the extent necessaryto allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as an airman medical certificate, and who has demonstrated, by meeting minimumflight-hour and currency requirements, thatthe PIC is able to safely operate the DJIInspire 1 UA in a manner consistentwith this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distancesfrom people, vessels, vehicles, and structures. MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYseeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled 

### CivilAircraftAirworthiness, because the OJI Inspire 1 UAdoes not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTYsubmitsthat he will ensure thatthe DJI Inspire 1 UA is in an airworthy condition, priorto everyflight, by determining thatthe UA is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Inspire 1 UA Instruction Manual), and thatthe aircraft is in a condition for safe flight. Page 4 of 133

### MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYalso seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled AltimeterSettings, as the DJI Inspire 1 UAwill not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI Inspire 1 UAwill be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinksfrom the UAto the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTY'S operation of the DJI Inspire 1 UAwithin visual line of sight, at or below 500feetAGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalentto Section 91 .121. Additionally, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYseeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled FuelRequirements forFlightin VFR Conditions. MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYsubmits that safetywill not be affected by operation of the DJI Inspire 1 UAduring daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) undervisual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of approximately 13.5 minutesto the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthatfor at least4.5 minutes. In accordance with 14C.F.R.

Extent of Relief Seeking 1. Extent Of Relief MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYSeeksAnd The Reason MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYSeeks Relief From Section 61.113(a) And (b). Relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Private PilotPrivileges andLimitations: Pilotin command, is requested to the extent necessaryto allow a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has metcertain flight-hour and currency requirements, to conductthe proposed UAS flight operationsfor compensation or hire. Page 8 of 133

### This relief is requested since the limitations setforth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraftdoes not carry passengers or propertyfor compensation or hire. As setforth more fully below, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYsubmitsthat an equivalent level of safetywill be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Inspire 1 UAunlessthat PIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating thatthe PIC is able to safely operate eitherthe DJI Inspire 1 UA in a manner consistentwith the operations specifications as described in this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distancesfrom people, vessels, vehicles, and structures. Further, MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTYsubmits that all flights of the DJI Inspire 1 UA, conducted by the PIC pursuantto the grantofthis Petition: (1) will be incidental to MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTY's business; and (2) will not carry passengers or propertyfor compensation or hire. 2. ExtentOf Relief MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTYSeeksAnd The Reason MATTHEW RODERICK Seeks Relief From Section 91.7(a). Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled 

### Civilaircraftairworthiness, is requested to the extent required to allow MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYto determine thatthe DJI Inspire 1 UA is in airworthy condition prior to everyflight by ensuring thatthe UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYseeksthe requested relief because the DJI Inspire 1 UAdoes not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTYwill ensure thatthe DJI Inspire 1 UA is in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) priorto everyflight, and further, determine thatthe aircraft is in condition for safeflight, as stated in the conditions and limitations below. 3. Extent Of Relief MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYSeeksAnd The Reason MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTYSeeks Relief From Section 91.121. Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, may be required to allowflight operations ofthe DJI Inspire 1 UA, which utilizes a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetrydata linkto downlink altitude information from the UAto the PIC atthe ground control station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in feet above ground level (AGL), MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYseeksthe requested relief because the DJI Inspire 1 UA's altimeter may be Page 9 of 133

### set on the ground to zero feetAGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitude, before each flight. Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations, relief from 14 CFR 91 .121 is soughtto the extent necessaryto complywith the applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As morefully setforth herein, an equivalent level of safetywill be maintained since the DJI Inspire 1 UA is equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensuresthat a ground level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information of the UAon the heads-updisplayof the GCS. 4. Extent Of Relief MATTHEW RODERICK SeeksAnd The Reason MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTYSeeks Relief From Section 91.151(b). Relief from Section 91.151 (b) entitled Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions, is requested to the extent required to allowflights of the battery powered DJI Inspire 1 UAduring daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), undervisual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 13.5 minutesto the first pointof intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthatfor at least4.5 minutes. MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYseeks the requested relief because without an exemption from Section 91.151 (b), the flight time duration ofthe battery powered DJI Phantom 2 UAwill severely constrain the practicalityof any aerial video or still photo flight operationsthat MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTY proposes to conduct pursuantto this Petition. Significantly, as setforth below, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2 UA, the DJI Inspire 1 and MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTY'S proposed operating limitations, ensure that MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill safelyoperate the battery powered DJI Inspire 1 UAduring daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), undervisual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to flyfor a total duration of 13.5 minutesto the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthatfor at least 4.5 minutes. 5. Extent Of Relief MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTYSeeksAnd The Reason MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTY Seeks Relief From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) 

### & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) 

### & (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) 

### & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) 

### & (b) only applyto aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTY requests relieffrom these Sections because the OJI Inspire 1 UAdoes not require airworthiness certificates. As setforth morefully below, the DJI Inspire 1 UAS meetsthe conditions of FMRASection 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTYwill use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Page 10of 133

### Furthermore, MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYwill document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJIInspire 1 UAS.

Public Interest UAV video recording reduces the need for larger aircraftflights in and outside cities. This reduces air pollution, sound pollution, and the costto person/business needing areal photos and video. Laminated Pictures also takes it upon ourselvesto educate children and adults who are interested in our craft. For example, I met a 10-year-old boy living in the government housing of New Orleans, after landing my craftwe talked about my UAV, which he had seen manyvideos about itonline but had no access to. Igave him my business card and offered to teach him more aboutthe OJI Inspire 1with his parents present. These sorts of community educational moments occurfrequently. Flightwith public safety in mind help people learn about the limitations and capabilities of UAV's in the US. This education and exposure will helpAmerica be atthe cutting edge of technologies, which can lead to astrongerfuture economy.

Public Safety 1. Reasons WhyThe DJI Phantom 2 UA Meets The Conditions OfThe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333. In consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTY's operation ofthe DJI Inspire 1 UAS meets the conditions of FMRASection 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authorityfor a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and setsforth requirementsfor considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose athreatto national security. Specifically, FMRASection 333 states the following, in part: (a) In Generai.--Notwithstandinganyotherrequirementofthis subtitle, andnotlater than 180days afterthe date ofenactmentofthisAct, the SecretaryofTransportation shalldetermine ifcertain unmannedaircraftsystems mayoperate safelyin the national airspace system before.completion oftheplan andrulemaking rf?quiredbysection 332 ofthisActorthe guidance requiredbysection 334 ofthisAct.

### b. Flight Operations Of DJI Inspire 1 UASAre Limited To The Line Of Sight OfA Certificated Pilot in Command With A Safety Observer. MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill be the only person to act as a pilot in command (PIC) ofthe DJI Inspire 1 UAS. Additionally, a safety observer will assist him during flighttime. 

### c. Flights Of DJIInspire 1 UAS Will Be Conducted PursuantTo Specific Operating Limitations. In seeking this exemption, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYproposes to commercially operate DJI Inspire 1 UAS for the special purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States, pursuantto the following specific operating limitations: 1. 

### Operations authorized bythis grantof exemption will be limited to the following aircraftdescribed in the operating documents, rotorcraft UASsweighing less than 55 pounds maximum grossweight: DJI Inspire 1 Unmanned Aircraft System. Proposed operations of anyother aircraftwill require a new petition or a petition to amend this grant. 2. UAS operations underthis exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose of aerial video and photography. 3. The UA may not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 20 knots. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 500 feet above ground level (AGL), as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents unless a special request is made and approved byATC. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feetAGL. 5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) ofthe PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by anydevice otherthan corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC's FAA-issued airman medical certificate. Page13of133

### 6. The use of first person view (FPV) bythe PIC or safety observer (SO) is not permitted. 7. All operations must utilize a safety observer (SO). The SO may be used to satisfythe VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The SO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times. Electronic messaging ortexting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannottransfer his or her designation forthe duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure thatthe SO can perform thefunctions prescribed in the operating documents. 8. The SO must not perform anyother duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions and is not permitted to operate the camera or other instruments. 9. The operating documents and the grantof exemption must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to theAdministrator upon request. If adiscrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations contained in the grantof exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations contained in the grantof exemption take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator mustfollow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator's responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documentsto theAdministrator upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitionsfor extension or amendmentto the grantof exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affectthe basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the operator must petition for amendmentto its grantof exemption. The FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 10. Priorto each flight the PIC must inspectthe UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Station must be included in the preflight inspection. All maintenance and alterations must be properlydocumented in the aircraft records. 11. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterationsthat affectthe UAS operation orflight characteristics, e.g. replacement of aflight critical component, must undergo afunctional testflight. The PIC who conducts the functional testflight must make an entry in the aircraft records. 12. The pre-flight inspection must accountfor all potential discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, items, or equipment, not already covered in the relevant sections of the operating documents. Page14of133

### 13. The operator mustfollow the UAS manufacturer's aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. 14. The operator mustcarry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the operating documents.

Reasons WhyAn Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 61.113(a)And (b) Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTY submitsthatthe equivalent level of safety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJIInspire 1 UAS unlessthat PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimumflight- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safelyoperate the DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistentwith the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distancesfrom people, vessels, vehicles, and structures. Considering MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTY's proposed area of operations and the operating limitations setforth-above, the parallel nature of private pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 11062), and the airmanship skills necessaryto safelyoperate the DJI Inspire 1 UAS, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYsubmits thatthe additional manned airmanship experience of a commercially certificated pilotwould not correlate to the airmanship skills necessaryfor MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTY's specific proposed flight operations. The FAA has previouslygranted relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) specificto UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos.11062, 11063,11064,11065,11066, 11067,11080,11109,11110, 11112,11136,11138, 11150,11153,11156,11158,11159,11160, 11161). MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Inspire 1 UAS unlessthat PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements orthe DJI Inspire 1 UAS training and currency requirements, thatthe PIC Page 17of 133

### is able to safely operate the OJI Inspire 2 UAS in a manner consistentwith this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distancesfrom people, vessels, vehicles, and structures. Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistentwith 14 C.F.R. 

### § 61.51 (b), 25 hours oftotal time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of 5 hours of those hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations underthe exemption). In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). As in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTY's proposed operations. The Administrator has held that prior documented flight experience thatwas obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: In Exemption No. 11062, the FAA required that prior to conducting operationsfor the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistentwith 14 CFR 61 .51 (b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilotwith a multi-rotor UAS. Priorto operations under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations underthe exemption. For clarification, the FAAconsiders these minimum hour requirements to be inclusive rather than additive; i.e. 5 hours make and model time may be included in the 10 hours of multi-rotortime and the 10 hours may be included in the total 25 hours of UAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC mustaccomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAAfinds that at a minimum, the flight-hour requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency in the skills necessaryto safely conductthe petitioner's proposed operations. The FAAalso finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfythis requirement. Training, proficiency, and experience-building flights can also be conducted underthe grant of exemption to accomplish the required flighttime. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights the PIC is required to operate the UAwith appropriate distances in accordance with 14C.F.R 91.119. 

### 3. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.7(a) Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. · The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.7(a) will be maintained because prior to everyflight, MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYwill ensure thatthe OJI Inspire 1 UAS is in an airworthycondition based upon the UAS' compliance with its operating documents and as stated in the conditions and limitations herein. Page 18of 133

### Additionally, the FAA has previouslygranted relief from Section 91.7(a) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161}. 

### 4. Reasons WhyAn Exemption FromThe Requirements Of Section 91.121 Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.121 will be maintained because the altitude information ofthe OJI Inspire 1 UAwill be provided to the PIC via GPS equipment and a radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinksfrom the UAto the GCS for active monitoring ofthe flight path and altitude. This altitude information, combined with MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTY's operation of the OJI Inspire 1UAwithin visual line of sight, ator below 500feetAGL, will ensure a level ofsafetyequivalentto Section 91.121. The altitude information will be generated by GPS equipment installed onboard the aircraft. Priorto each flight, a zero altitude initiation point is automatically established bythe UASs at ground level. The FAA has previouslygranted relief from Section 91 .121 specificto UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11112, 11136,11138,11150,11153,11156,11157,11158,11159,11160, 11161}. 

### 5. Reasons WhyAn Exemption FromThe Requirements OfSection 91.151(b) Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. Agrantofthis exemption would ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 91.151 (b) as a resultof (1) the technical specifications ofthe OJI Inspire 1 UAS; (2) the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and (3) the location of the proposed flight operations. Accordingly, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill ensure that itwill safelyoperate the battery-powered OJI Inspire 1 UAduring daylight hours in VFR conditions, with enough battery powerto flyfor a total duration of 13.5 minutesto the first pointof intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after thatfor at least 4.5 minutes. Here, as in Exemption No. 11109, the technical specifications ofthe OJI Inspire 1 UAS, the limitations on the proposed flight operations, and the location of the proposed operations, will ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14C.F.R. Section 91.151(b). Furthermore, safetywill be ensured as the OJI Inspire 1 UAS provides audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS when the UAexperiences low battery voltage, the firstwarning occurring at approximately33% remaining battery power, and again at approximately 10% remaining battery power. Atthe critically low battery level, the DJIInspire 1 UAS will descend and land automatically. Significantly, previous exemptions granted bythe FAA concerning Section 91.151 establish that safety is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and Page 19of 133

### operating limitations of the UAS are considered. Relief has been granted for manned aircraftto operate at less than the minimums prescribed in Section 91.151, including Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. Moreover, the FAA has previouslygranted relief from Section 91.151 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 8811, 10808, 10673, 11042, 11062,11063,11064,11065,11066,11067,11080,11109,11110,11136,11138, 11150, 11153,11156,11157,11158,11159, 11160, 11161). 6. Reasons WhyAn Exemption From The Requirements Of Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) 

### &(a)(2), And 91.417(a) 

### &(b) Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. In seeking this exemption, MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTYsubmitsthatthe equivalent level of safetywith regard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) 

### & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

### (b) will be met because MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTYwill use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e. The Monthly Maintenance Log and DJI Phantom 2 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYwill documentand maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 UAS. Since the DJI Inspire 1 UAS will be inspected as prescribed bythe operating documents, MATTHEW HERRIER & JEFF MORIARTYwill maintain the equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1), and 91.409(a)(2). Acopyof the DJIInspire 1 User Manual is attached hereto asAppendixA; a copy ofthe DJI Inspire 1 UAS Maintenance LOG is attached hereto asAppendix B. Likewise, the exemption soughtwill not adversely affectsafety because MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTYwill use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents. Furthermore, the exemption soughtwould maintain an equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maintenance of the DJI Inspire 1 UAS will be performed bytrained technicians. Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the monthly maintenance log. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAAconcerning Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & 

### (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

### (b) establish that safety is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations ofthe UAS are considered. In consideration of MATTHEW HERRIER & 

### JEFF MORIARTY's proposed operating limitations, the operating documents, and the technical aspects of the DJI Inspire 1 UAS, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### &JEFF MORIARTYsubmits thatsafetywill not be adversely affected by granting exemption from 14C.F.R. Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a) Page 20of 133

### (1) and (a)(2), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b). The FAA has previously granted relief specific to UAS in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160' 11161) . 7. The FAA May PrescribeAny Other Conditions For Safe Operation. In accordance with Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) and 14C.F.R. 

### § 21.16 entitled Special Conditions, MATTHEW HERRIER 

### & JEFF MORIARTY requests thatthe FAA prescribe special conditionsfor the intended operation ofthe OJI Inspire 1 UAS, which contain such safety standards thatthe Administratorfinds necessaryto establish a level of safety equivalentto that established by 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, and 14 C.F.R 

### §§ 61.113(a) 

### &(b), 91.7 (a), 91.121, 91.151 (b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & 

### (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

### (b). Such special conditions will permit safe operation of the UAfor the limited purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas ofthe United Statesfor compensation or hire. FMRASection 333 sets forth the requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users ofthe NAS or the public, or otherwise pose athreatto national security; and further, provides the authorityfor such UAS to operate without airworthiness certification in accordance with any requirements that must be established for the safe operation of the UAS in the NAS. Likewise, the Administrator may prescribe special conditions pursuantto 14 C.

# Aircraft Flight Controller Page 41 of 133The Inspire I 's flight controller is based on OJI flight controller with several enhancements such as newflight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensurethe safe return ofyour aircraft ifthe control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight. 

### Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (Positioning) : Pmode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire I depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available butthe GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. Usethe Flight Controller mode switch to changethe flight mode of the aircraft, refer tothe "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

### Flight Status Indicator The INSPIRE I comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below: Aircraft Status Indicator Front LED Rear LED The Front and Rear LED showthe orientation of the aircraft.

### Vision Positioning System OJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image datato helpthe aircraft identify its current position. With the help ofVision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of OJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera. Aircraft Using Vision Positioning [1] Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available. 16 © 2015 DJI. All R1ghts Reserved. [2] INSPIRE 1 User Manual

Follow the steps belowto use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Placethe Inspire 1 on aflat surface. Noticethatthe Vision Positioning system cannotwork properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicatorwill flash twice in green light, which indicatesthe Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push thethrottle up


### Page 51 of 133to lift off, and the Inspire 1will hover in place. The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subjectto the surfaceyou are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be ableto accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraftwill switch from "P" modeto "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operatethe aircraft cautiouslywhen in any of the following situations: Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 1 0) or bright (lux 

### > 10,000) surfaces. Flying over surfacesthat can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). Flying over inclined surfacesthat will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hoverfor 8 seconds and then auto-land if it is in "P" mode. Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0to 2.5 meters. Vision Positioning system may notfunction properly when the aircraft is flying over water. Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 1OOiux). Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequency of 40KHzwhen Vision Positioning system is in operation. Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying closeto the ground (below0.5 meters) in fast speed. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audibleto some animals. 

### Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device ofthe aircraft. User can gain access to these datathrough the DJI Pilot app. This includesflight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters. 

### Attaching and Detaching the Propellers Use only DJI approved propellers with your Inspire 1. The grey or black nut on the propeller indicatesthe rotation direction ofthe propeller and where it should be attached. To attach the propellers properly,

### Page 91 of 133to lift off, and the Inspire 1will hover in place. The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subjectto the surfaceyou are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be ableto accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraftwill switch from "P" modeto "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operatethe aircraft cautiouslywhen in any of the following situations: Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. Flying over moving surfaces or objects. Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. Flying over extremely dark (lux < 1 0) or bright (lux 

### > 10,000) surfaces. Flying over surfacesthat can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). Flying over inclined surfacesthat will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hoverfor 8 seconds and then auto-land if it is in "P" mode. Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0to 2.5 meters. Vision Positioning system may notfunction properly when the aircraft is flying over water. Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light conditions (less than 1OOiux). Do not use other ultrasonic deviceswith frequency of 40KHzwhen Vision Positioning system is in operation. Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying closeto the ground (below0.5 meters) in fast speed. Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audibleto some animals. 

### Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device ofthe aircraft. User can gain access to these datathrough the DJI Pilot app. This includesflight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to usethe flight simulatorto learn howtofly safely. Ensurethat all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not usethe aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 1Om/s ,snow, rain and smog.
2. Onlyfly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affectthe accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS signal.
3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water.
4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by notflying in areawith high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subjectto environmentfactor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

### Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details oftheseflight limits are described in thefollowing section. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, theflight limits function is enabled by default to help users usethis product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. Max Height & Radius Limits 

### Page 105of 133Max Height & Radius limitflying height and distance, and the user may changethese settings in the OJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1will fly in a restricted cylinderthat is determined bythese settings. The tables below showthe details ofthese limits.
