### Regarding the Unmanned A **ircraf t PIC**  Donald V iv ier has about 100 hrs flying various forms of UA V. The combined staff at price of his toys (priceofhistoys.com) has upwards of 1000 hrs. In addition most of the staff is either involved in or has been inv olved flying (Private Pilots). I do not fully understand what you want in terms of medical certifications. I fly light sport aircraft and I do not need a class 3 medical.



### Regarding the **Operation of the Unmanned A ircraf**  **t** Our consumer quad copters would be used to film car shows and racing events as well as the occasional real estate or conservation area. We would have an average speed of 3

- 10mph, Max height of 200ft and a radius of about 1000f t . This would allow us to film away from people and wildlife. I t is our intention to not operate near airports, military bases, and other areas were GA, Milit ary, or Commercial Aircraf t may be present. Our consumer quad copter will operate within VLOS. Our consumer quad copters are outfitted with with GPS and other fail safes. Once such fail safe is we are able to set a maximum height and dist ance from our t ake of f point to no exceed. For example. If I set it for a maximum lif

t height of 100f

t it will get to 100 and the system will not allow it to continue on its ve rtical path. The same with dist ance from the start point. In the event that communication is lost they are designed and programed to return to the spot they took of

f from.

On another note I can underst and why the F AA feels that these Consumer Quad Copt ers fall under any rule regarding aircraf t. I ask that you consider and approve this exemption.

Thank you Donald V iv ier April 5 2014
