Dear Sir or Madam: 

I, Brandon Farley, a licensed Real Estate Agent am requesting exemption from the Federal 

Aviation Regulations ("F ARs") listed below and pursuant to the FAA Modernization and .' 

Reform Act of2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11. so I may commercially 

operate a small ultra light unmanned aircraft system ("UAS"), specifically the Phantom 3 and 

Inspire 1 ·Quadcopter Unmanned Aircraft (UAS) or equivalent and ground station~based 

. equipment and crew for the purpose of photography/videography of commercial and residential 

properties, Residential I Commercial inspections, public weddings, Arerial photos/videos of 

resorts, Aerial surveying, aerial inspection, real estate surveying and mapping operations. 

I have Been a licensed Real Estate agent since February 2012 with The Keyes Company: Within 

the company I pay per year to have legal protection for real estate liabilities. I want to· work in 

Residential and Commercial photography/videography services to be included in my portfolio. I 

will be soon opening an LLC specifically related to my drone business where 1 will be utilizing 

the drone for the activities mentioned above. 

With the advancement of Internet technology and consumer adoption of shopping for properties 

online, the demand for high-resolution aerial graphics and video is unprecedented. As a real · 

estate professional I understand the seriousness, necessity and importance of pre-flight and inflight safety measures to ensure public safety. As. a pilot of an UAS, all UAS pertinent safety and 

risk management measures as specified in the FAA's Risk Management Handbook shall be . 

complied with. A grant of my exemption request, by the FAA, would permit operation of ultra 
light weight and unmanned UAS to operate in predetermined areas away from the general public, 

airports, heliports and vehicular traffic, primarily over individual properties/communities for the 

purpose of recording real-estate listings (photo/video). 

All flights shall be logged and recorded to minimally include the date and time of flight, name of 

pilot and Visual Observer (YO), address O"r location of flight, duration of flight, weather 

conditions and "flight notes" to include ma"Xirrium altitude and speed along with signatures of the 

PIC and YO. A copy of the images s~all also·be retained for a minimum of 12 months from the 

date of flight. 

In summary and in accqrdance with this request of exemption reque~t as authorized and outlined 

by the FAA under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act specified for use ofUAS' "for 

· photography/videography of commercial and residential properties, Residential I Commercial 

inspections, public weddings, Aerial surveying, aerial inspection, real estate surveying and 

----- ~---mapping·operations:-I-Brahaon .tewis-Farley will adhere to all FAA:regulatioris-anill-time-s-a:n·d--------

shall conduct all flight operations in strict compliance and safety protocols as mandated imd · 

required by regulations and best practices. Respectfully, I request the grant of exemption to 

operate ultra light weight, remote controlled UAS's for commercial purposes as described in this 

request and as allowable by law. This grant of exemption will allow me to offer Sl;LCh services to 

private entities, individuals needing we~ding pictures, realtors and individual homeowners who 

have little to no experience piloting UAS's but have a need to market their property in order to 

compete within an ever demanding technology driven real estate market. I submit that this 

application has been prepared by myself and-not an attorney using personal knowledge. The 

essence ofthis application is to decla~e that I, Brandon Lewis-Farley, meet and exceed the FAA's 

expected competency for piloting my UAS. for commercial purposes and that my UAS meets and 

exceeds· the safety requirements as set forth by the Secretary ofTransportation thereby 

prompting my request for COA under Section 333.

·----·-----------------

III. The extent and reason of relief I seek: 

1, Brandon Lewis Farley, am seeking relief from existing FARs that currently prohibit my use of 

UASs from operating commercially for the purpose of aerial photography/videography in 

accordance \vith the FAA Modernization and Reform 

Act of2012 112 P.L. 95 § 331-334. The Reform Act Subtitle B: Unmanned· 

Aircraft Systems- (Sec. 332) "Requires the Secretary to develop a plan to accelerate safely the 

integration by September 30, 2015, of civil unmanned aircraft systems (UASes, or drones) into 

the national airspace system." Accordingly, I attest that my personal qualifications as well as my 

ultra lightweight UAS meets the definition of such approved drones (UAS) as defined in Section 

331 and allows for exemption status consideration. Further, I humbly request that I be allowed to 

. commercially operate my UAS during the time period the FAA is further establishing rules and 

regulations governing the operations of such craft. The Secretary of Transportation has been 

asked by Congress to, among other things, .consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems 

may operate safely i~ the national airspace system before completion of the rulemaking required 

under Section 332 of the Reform Act. In making this determination, the Secretary is req.uired to 

determine which types of UASs do not create a hazard to users of the National Airspace System 

or the public or pose a threat to national security in light of the following: 

[JOTheUAS's size, weight, speed, and operational capability; 

0 0 Operation of the U AS in close proximity to airports and populated _,areas; 

and 

OOOperation ofthe UAS within visual line of sight (VLOS) ofthe Pilot and . 

VO Accordingly, all flights. will be conducted by a PIC and aVO in accordance with 

FAA Policy N 8900.227 Sectioi;J. 14 "Operational Requirements for UASs" and with 

the following restrictions: 

a. All aircraft wi II be made with a U A Gross weight of less than 55 pounds 

(my exemption request is for an ajrcraft less than 5 lbs.) 

·b. All_flights will occur only during ·daylight hours. 

c. All flights will occur at or below 200 feet AGL 

d .. 5 nautical miles from an airport having an operational control tower; or 

e. 3 NM from an airport with a published instrument flight procedure, but 
not an operational tower; or 

f. 2 NM from an airport without a published instrument flight procedure or . 

an operation tower; or 

g. 2 NM from a·heliport with a published instrument flight procedure. 

h: For safety, ho flight·with winds over 10 mph. . . 

i. Flight only in GPS mode that allows UAS to hover in place when radio controls are released. 

All operations to be conducted in GPS mode only. 

IV. How my request will benefit the public as awhole: 

Aerial photography is a critical component of marketing commercially available property. With 

today' s high-tech Internet market and ever demanding consumer, it" is more important.than ever 

for wedding photography, realtors, have listings appear near or at the top oflntemet searches. 

The Multiple List Service (MLS) typically lists home searches in hierarchy based on number of 

"images" or "videos". To grab the attention of the buyer, it is important for them to se~ the entire 

-- . ---··-prop·eny-and·th·e-area a~ound it:All of these elements combine to-have-a-trem·enabus·impact on· -- · -------

the outcome of a commercial real estate transaction. It is much too dangerous and expensive to 

hire a manned aircraft to take these aerial images thereby making the UAS option more cost · 

effective and safer. There simply is not enough UAS Pilots to cover the demand for these 

images, which is leading to unlicensed UAS operators which ultimately results in untrained and 

unqualified operators. 

V. Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect_safety; or how the 

exemption would provide a level for safety at least equal to the existing rule: 

An exemption would not adversely affect safety because this application applies only to aircraft 

characteristics and applications within FAA specified limitations. These limitations provide for 

at _least an equivalent ~afety standard. However, my experience as a certificated instrument rated 

Private Pilot allows me to utilize my experience in UAS operations thereby exceeding safety and 

improving airspace operations by allowing aerial imaging clients to choose an experienced Pilot 

that knows how to pilot an aircraft safely and within regulated limits. In addition, by providing 

unmanned services to the market place, there will-be less of a demand for manned operations, 

which will provide for safer and quieter residential aerial photography. 

As· previously stated, all flights will be conducted by a·PIC and aVO in accordance with FAA 

Policy N 8900.227 Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UASs" and with the following 

restrictions: 

a. All aircraft will be made with a UA Gross weight of less than 55 pounds 

(my exemption request is for an aircraft less than 5 lbs.) 

b. All flights will occur only during daylight hours. 

c. All flights will occur at or below 200 feet AGL 

·_d. 5 nautical miles from an airport having an operational control tower; or 

e. 3 NM from an airport with a published instrument flight procedure, but_ 

not an operational tower; or 

f. 2 NM from an airport without a published-instrument flight procedure or· 

an qperation towe~-P~ _ _ . ,__ . . _ . 

g. 2 NM from a heliport with a published instrument flight procedure. 
h. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be 15 minutes. 

Flights will be terminated at 25% battery power reserve should that occur 

prior to the 15 minute limit. . 

i. Extensive, pre-flight briefings are required between the PIC and the YO. 

j. A flight plan is required prior to each flight. 

k. All aircraft operations must be conducted within manufacturer 

recommended specifications. 

· I. All site permissions must be obtained prior to flight.· 

VI. A summary the FAA may publish in the Federai·Register: 

a. 14 C.F .R. 21 and 14 C.F .R. 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals and 

The Like. 

14 <;::.F.R. 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for 

procurement of necessary airworthiness certi'ficates in relation to FAR §91.203(a)(l ). The size, 

weighnmd endo-seo operational·area-ofmy·UA.S-permicexemptiorffrom-Part 21 because my 

UAS meets (and exceeds) an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 ofthe 

Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate 

requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both 

pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate 

requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, maneuverabilityand proximity to areas 

such as airports and dense populations. My current and projected UAS's meet or exceed each of 

the elements. 14 C.F.R. 9L7(a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness 

certificate. As no such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the F ARs, this 

Regulation is inapplicable. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. 

As there are no on board pilots or passengers, and given the size of the 

UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by 

maintaining such manuals on location with the Pilot. The 

FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation· in Exemption 

Nos. 8607,8737,8738,9299, 9299A, 9565,95658, 10167, 10167A, 

10602, 10700 and 32827. 14 C.P.R.§ 91.121 regarding altimeter settings is inapplicable insofar 

as my UAS utilizes electronic global positioning systems with a barometric .sensor. 14 C.P.R. § 

91.203 (a) and (b) provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and registrations. They 

are inapplicable for the same reasons described above. The equivalent level of safety Will be 

achieved by maintaining any such required certifications and registrations with the 

Pilot.b. 14 C.P.R. § 45.23: Marking of The Aircraft. 

Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to certain . . specifications. My UAS are,_ by definition, unmanned. They therefore do not have a cabin, 

cockpit or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, two-inch lettering is 

difficult to place on such small aircraft with dimensions smaller that minimal lettering 

requirement. Regardless, I will mark its UASs in the largest possible lettering by placing the 

word "EXPERIMENTAL" on its fuselage as required by 14 C.P.R. §45.29 (f) so·that I the pilot, 

or anyone assisting me' as a spotter with the UA V will see the markings. The FAA has previously 

issued exemptions to this regulation through Exemptions-Nos. 8738, 10167, 10167A and 10700. 

C. c. 14 C.P.R.§ 61.113: Private 'Pilot Privileges and Limitations: PIC. Pursuant to 14 C.P.R.§'§ 
61.113 (a) & (b), private pilots are limite~ to non-commercial operations. I, Brandon Lewis 

Fadey, can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved 'by current Regulations because my 

UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. 

The risks attended to the operation of my UAS is far less than the risk levels inherent in the 

commercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, et seq. Thus, allowing me to operate my UAS 

and meet and exceed currenfsafety levels in relation to 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b). d. D. 14 

C.F.R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. 14 C.F.R. § 91.119 prescribes saf~ altitudes for the 

operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain 

conditions. My UAS will n·ever operate at an altitude greater than 200 ft AGL; safely below the 

standard of 400 AGL. I will also operate my UAS in safe ar~as away from public and traffic, 

providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe 

altitudes. Given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed of my UAS, an equivalent or higher 

level of safety \Viii be achieved. e. E. 14 C.F.R. 91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): 

------Maintenance· Inspections. - -·· ---- -··- -- -----·--

The above-cited Regulations require,.amongst other things, aircraft owners and operators to 

"have [the] aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required 

inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as 

prescribed in pan 43 of this chapter. .. " 

These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. 

They will not, therefore, apply to my UAS. However, as a safety precaution I inspect my UAS 

before and after each flight. A Summary the FAA May Publish in the Federal Register: A. 14 

C.F.R. 21 and.l4 C.F.R. 91: Airwort~iness.Certificates, Manuals and The Like. 14 C.F.R. 21, 

Subpart H, entitled ~irworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of 

necessary airworthiness certificates in relationto FAR§ 91.203(a)(1). The size, weight and 

enclosed operational area of my UAS permit exemption from Part 21 because my UAS meets an 

equivalent !~vel of safety pursuant to Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to 

exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 

U.S.C. § 44 701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the 

FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the 

weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense 

populations. My UAS meets or exceeds each of the elements. 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibits the 

operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no s·uch certificate will be 

applicable in the form contemplated by the F ARs, this Regulation is inapplicable. 14 C.F.R. § 

91.·9 (b) (2) requires an ai~craft fljght manual in the ~ircraft. As there are no pilots or passengers, 

and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety 

will be acpieved by maintaining a manual. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this 

regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167, 

maintenance program that involves regular software updat~s and curative measures for any 

damaged hardware. Therefore, an equivalent level of safety will be achieved. 
In Summary: 

I, Brandon Lewis Farley, ~espectfully request that the FAA grant my exemption request and 

further volunteer any information gathered during flights in the event the 

FAA is interested in live field data. I do agree and attest to adhere to any further limitations the 

FAA imposes, now or in the future. Satisfaction of the current criteria provided in Sec_tion 333 of 

the Reform Act of 20-12 - size, weight, speed, operating capabilities," proximity to airport-s and· 

populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security- provide more 

than adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemptions allowing commercial 

operation of my UAS for commercial purposes. I look forward to support the FAA and UAS 

community in its quest to establish proper regulations and protocols· for the safe introduction of 

unmanned aircraft into the national airspace. 

Sincerely,
