Re: Re: Docket FAA 2G l 4-G4GG, Petition for Amendment to Exemption No. 1115GB 

Dear Mr. Lawrence: 

This firm represents AeroCine Ventures fnc, (formerly AeroCine, LLC), which received FAA 

Exemption No. ll15G on January 23, 2G15 authorizing AeroCine under section 333 of the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 to operate its unmanned aircraft system ("UAS") for 

purposes of capturing high definition feature film quality aerial cinematography. On April 29, 

2015, AeroCine received amended Exemption No. 11150A to operate the same UAS - the 

Kopterworx Hammer X12 - for additional purposes, namely real estate photography and 

videography, agriculture, inspections of oil and gas facilities, flare stacks, and bridge 

infrastructure, wildlife preservation industries, and search and rescue operations, and to operate 

the DJI SlGGG and Aerobo UAVs for such purposes. On October 27, 2G15, AeroCine received 

amended Exemption No. 11150B to operate the DJl Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAVs. In that 

Exemption letter, the FAA stated that the other authority AeroCine requested - to operate the 

Aerobo X12 and to revise several of the standard conditions and limitations - remains under 

review. 

In this present petition for an amendment, AeroCine seeks to operate additional types of UASs 

for the purposes listed above, in compliance with the conditions and limitations set forth in 

Exemption Nos. 1115G, 111 5GA and 115GB, as may be later modified pursuant to AeroCine's 

pending request that remains under review. The list of additional models of UASs is contained

in Attachment 1. The list of UASs in Attachment I is the identical list of UASs for which 

Measure received authority to operate in Exemption No. 12646 dated August 28, 2015. 1 

Because the requested amendment to add UASs would not set any precedent or otherwise raise 

any novel issue, AeroCine respectfully requests the FAA to detem1ine that good cause exists to 

dispense with publication of a summary of this petition in the Federal Register and grant the 

requested amendment by summary means. 

Thank you for your consideration oftbis petition.
