### 3. Airbotsy Pilots

Airbotsy pilots will hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot

certificate. The PIC w ill also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license

issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal
Government. The PIC also will meet the flight review requirements sp ecified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft
in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. As the FAA’s UAS regulations are evolving, all

Airbotsy pilots will uphold any training revisions mandated by the FAA.

Airbotsy Pilot

- in

- Command (PIC) that cond uct filming will be included in the Plan of Activities to be filed at least three (3) days prior to each scheduled filming (Discussed in Section 7 ), with the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) having jurisdiction over the area of proposed filmin g. The list of pilots will include each pilot’s pilot certificate number as well as special pilot authorizations or endorsements, if applicable.



### 4. Aircraft Specifications (Make, Model, and Registration Number )

All aircraft to be used appears in Appendix B o f this document, as well as the Section 333 exemption dated
August 28, 2015, and the amendment dated December 24, 2015. All aircraft listed in Appendix B have been

approved by the FAA in other exemptions and weigh less than 55 pounds with payload. In parti cular, the list
of Appendix B has been taken from Exemption No. 12646, where all 324 aircraft were approved. With no
additional aircraft added or deleted from the approved list in Exemption No. 12646, Airbotsy requests to utilize the same aircraft (note: thi s amendment to Airbotsy ’s Exemption has been submitted separately,
and dated December 24, 2015).

I n the proposed filming , the aircraft utilized will be documented by make, model

, and serial number ( or registration number ) in the Plan of Activities to be fil ed at least three days prior to each scheduled filming
(Section 7 ), with the local FSDO having jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming.



### 5. Revision s
This MPTOM and all revisions will be promptly distributed to all personnel involved in sUAS operation.

Recipients will be required to always ensure their MPTOM’s are up

- to

- date. Amendments in FARs,
additions, deletions, or corrections of selected subject matter in this manual will be issued periodically to

reflect all changes. If u sers of the MPTOM observe or experience a need for change , they are encouraged to
submit their suggestions to the Chief Operations Officer for review and consideration. Revisions to the

MPTOM will be forwarded to the FSDO at least 15 days before the proposed effective date. Revisio ns will

be noted on the Notice of Revisions Page at the front of this MPTOM and will be noted in bold in thisMPTOM

. To ensure prompt notifications and communication, e ach subsequent revision of the MPTOM will

be distributed to all company personnel involv ed in sUAS operation

.



### 6. Authorized Person ne l

During filming, CFR Section 91.119(c) is waived only with respect to those participating persons, vehicles,

and structures directly involved in the performance of the actual filming. The PIC and certificate holde r shall
ensure that no persons are allowed within 500 feet of the area except those consenting to be involved and
necessary for the filming production. This provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet in the event
that a suitable, equivalent level of safety can be achieved. An equivalent level of safety may be determined
by evaluation of the filming production area and the degree of terrain features, infrastructure, etc. that will
provide a safety barrier to observers. Prior to any filming, the PIC an d certificate holder shall be responsible
for obtaining signed consent forms from any person who is allowed within 500 feet (or 200 feet as outlined
above) of the filming. Such consent forms shall be maintained by the operator for a period of at least six (6)

months following the filming.



### 7. Plan of Activities

Airbotsy will submit a written plan of activities to the local FSDO a t least three (3) days prior to any

scheduled filming . This will be submitted to the FSDO that ha s jurisdiction over the area of propose d
filming. The plan of activities shall include the following:

a) Dates and times for all flights
b) Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under this grant of
exemption c) Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on

- scene operation of the UAS
d) Make, model, and serial or N−Number of UAS to be used
e) Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming
f) A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials
to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made
available to the inspector upon request g) Signature of exemption holder or representative; and
h) A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the
operation.



### 8. Operat ing Permission

Prior to any flight i s conducted at less than 500 feet under the provisions of the certificate of waiver and

this Manual, the operato r will obtain permission to conduct these operations from property owners and
local officials as necessary or appropriate. Persons from whom permission may be required are listed

below:

1) Property owners
2) Law enforcement officials
3) Fire department officials
4) Local, state and federal government

Airbotsy personnel obtaining such permission will do so in writing (which includes emails) whenever
practical; however, verbal permission is acceptable otherwise. A standard permission form is provided in

Appendix A an d may be used when obtaining written permission. Written permission forms will be
maintained at the job site until flight operations are completed, and then turned over to Airbotsy to bekept on file for a minimum of six (6) months. These forms will be made available for inspection by the FAA

or other official personnel upon request.



### 9. S afety and S ecurity

Before any flight, the PIC will work with the appropriate production personnel to devise a plan of securing
the area(s) of operation from all unauthorized per sons, vehicles

, and aircraft. Provisions will be made to
immediately discontinue operations should the area(s) become unsecured or for any other reason in the

interest of safety.



### 10. Briefing and Communication

Before any flight operation is commenced, under th e provisions of this MPTOM , the PIC will conduct a
briefing of all procedures to participating personnel of the risks involved, emergency procedures, and
safeguards to be following during the filming production event. Personnel will also be briefed on any
additional provisions that may be issued by the local FSDO, including the location of boundaries or any

other time limits.

Prior to operations, the PIC will formulate a plan to provide communications capability to all participants

during the actual operati on and filming. Oral, visual , and/ or radio communications may be used as long as it
is effective and is capable of keeping the participants continuously apprised of the current status of the

operation

.



### 11. Certification and Airworthiness

T he PIC will conduct a pre

- flight inspection in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) parts 43 and 91 and applicable operating limitations. The pre

- flight inspection will account for all

potential discrepancies ( e.g. inoperable or damaged componen ts, items

, or equipment (also outlined in

Airbotsy exemption submitted August 28, 2015) )

. In the event that the inspection reveals a condition that
affects the safe operation of the sUAS, the aircraft will be prohibited from operation until the necessary

mai ntenance has been performed and the sUAS is in a condition for safe flight. Airbotsy will follow the
sUAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, in s pection

, and life limit requirements for the
aircraft and aircraft components. Each sUAS operated under this exemption will comply with all
manufacturer safety bulletins. The aircraft to be used may be certificated in any category , including
experimental, provided the re quirements of 14 CFR part 91, § 91.7, 91.9, and 91.203 are met.



### 12. Limitations

UAS ope rations will follow the limitations set forth in Airbotsy ’s request for a limited exemption, dated

August 28 , 2015. The aircraft will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level
(AGL). The aircraft will not be operated during ni ght , as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1, unless the aircraft is flown
where artificial lighting is equivalent to daylight conditions (e.g. inside well

- lit structures such as filming

studios, outside in well

- lit areas such as stadiums). Such artificial lighting would allow the PIC, Visual
Observer, and all personnel to clearly visualize the UAS location, distance, and elevation with the same
spatial depth perception as during safe daylight conditions. To increase the safety during any flight using
artificial lighting, operations would be restricted to the PIC maintaining VLOS of the UAS within a distance

of 1,000 feet or less.



### 13. Accident Notification

In the event of an accident or incident requiring notification of the National Transportation Safety Board
( NTSB ) occur, t he operator would immediately notify the NTSB pursuant to 49 CFR § 830 and take steps to

preserve and protect the accident scene.

### 14. Recall/Stop Procedures

Radio communication, oral, visual or a combination will be utilized to keep the participants continuous ly
apprised of the current status of operation

.



### 15. Aerobatic Competency

If the filming operations require the issuance of FAA Form 8710

- 7, see Volume 5 Airman Certification

, Chapter 9 Other Airman Authorizations , Section 1 Issue/Renew/Rescind a Statement of A crobatic

Competency.
