### VIA FEDERAL DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Re: Exemption Request under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 

### of the Federal Aviation Regulations Dear Sir or Madam Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the "Reform Act") and 14 C. F. R. Part 11, Eagle Sight Photographer LLC, seeks an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") detailed below for the following described Unmanned Aerial System called in this application the ME System, which includes an Unmanned Aircraft (UA) and ground station-based equipment and crew: THE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA): A lightweight (20 lb gross weight with all on-board equipment), manufactured by DJI, Phantom that includes the following equipment in flight; An on-board flight computer with GPS navigation and location ability that receives signals for flight controls from a ground-based transmitter /controller; on-board camera capable of capturing imagery in the form of full color, high definition still photos and video; A 5.8 GHz on-board radio transmitter that transmits live video from the onboard camera.

### THE GROUD STATION -BASED PART OF THE SYSTEM: A Pilot in Command (PIC) in operational control of a flight operation from beginning to end and who controls the UA while in the air; 5.8 GHz radio transmitter/controller operated bythe PIC to control the UA while in flight; A radio receiver receiving live video and flight data from the on-board camera and computer projects it all together onto a screen for the PIC to view during flight;

A Visual Observer (VO) is a person who provides a second pair of eyes to visually track the UAwhile in flight. A Pilot in Command in visual line of sight at all times and NOT flying with any FPV System. IM also An active member of the AMA for the last 14 years and A Pilot instructor with the local R/C flying club.

The requested exemption would support an application for a commercial Certificate of Authorization to use the above described ME System to support Production of promotional materials (video and/or still images) for Real Estate sales Production of promotionalmaterials, (video and/or still images) for Travel and Tourism industries Production of promotional materials, (video and/or stHI images) for commercial businesses, Photography and videography of social events, such as weddings never operating over persons notdirectly involved with the ME system. The UA, powered by batteries, is smaller, lighter and more maneuverable than larger aircraft running on combustible fue.l, it operates at lower altitudes with no people on board and will thereby reduce current risk levels and thereby enhance safety and diminish the likelihood of death or serious bodily injury. With a small payload and maximum flight time of only 18 minutes, this is offers little or no risk to national security. Low-level oblique photos and video from several angles are far more effective than ground- based imagery for displaying the characteristics of large, complex properties with several buildings and large trees. The alternative could be to charter a full-sized helicopter for this purpose, which

### has proven more costly than many potential clients are able to afford. The benefits of reduced cost and improved quality of presentation from the UA will be valuable to and benefit many buyers and sellers of real property and marine property. Additionally, we request that we be allowed to use our system to benefit first responders nearby who might require assistance, including fire fighters, the police, the sheriff, et al., while remaining subject to all limitations cited in this appHcation as we do so. The ME System will be operated in the field with both a PIC and 

# a VO in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" and with the following Restrictions: No flight wilt be made with a UAGross weight exceeding 55 pounds;b) All operations must occur in FAA Class G airspace at no more than 400ft AGL, at anairspeed of no morethan 50 knots and no further than 3/4 NM from the PIC;c) All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The VO and PIC must 

### be ableto communicate byvoice at all times during a flight operation;d) Operations will be restricted to flights over property with the permission ofthe property owner; e) The PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

### § 61.51(b), a minimum of 100 flight cycles and .25 hours oftotal time as a UA rotorcraft pilot and at least ten hours logged as a UA pilot with a similar UA type;f) All required permits will 

### be obtained from state and local government priorto operation;g) The ME System will not be operated over densely populated areas;h) The ME System will not be operated at air shows;i) The ME System witt not be operated over any open-air assembly of people;j) The ME System will not be operated over heavilytrafficked roads;k) The ME System will not be operated within 5 NM of an airport or heliport;!) Operations will be restricted to day only and weather conditions equivalent to VFR;m) The PIC will brief the VO and property owner about the operation and risk before the first flight at each new location;n) No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight Inspection by the PIC before each operation to ascertain that the UA is in a condition safefor flight (see Appendix A). PIC and VO will meet the requirements outlined in FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 16 personnel Qualifications. Additionally, the PIC and VO wilt perform maintenance on the system and will complete a course of maintenance instruction as part oftheir initial training.

### We submit that the combination of the UA's light weight, flight performance and ability, fully qualified flight crew and strict operation under the guidelines established in 8900.227, and under all of the Restrictions (a} through (n) listed above, the FAA can have full confidence that the operation will have an equivalent or greater level of safety than manned aircraft pertorm.ing the same mission.

Addendum containing Exemption Requests and Equivalent Level of Safety Appendix 

### A - Flight Manual'sAppendix B - Owner's Manual for UA

### ADDENDUM EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY Eagle Sight Photographer LLC requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any additional regulations that maytechnically apply to the operation of the ME System: 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates This part establishes the procedures for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. While the FAA continues to workto develop airworthiness standards for Unmanned Aerial Systems, we request an experimental certificate be issued for the ME System under either or both ofthe following provisions: 21.191 Experimental certificates. Experimental certificates are issued for the following purposes: (a) Research and development. Testing new aircraft design concepts, new aircraft equipment, new aircraft installations, new aircraft operating techniques, or new uses for aircraft.(b) Showing compliance with regulations. Conducting flight tests and other operations to show compliance with the airworthiness regulations including flights to show compliance for issuance oftype and supplemental type certificates, flights to substantiate major design changes, and flights to show compliance with the function and reliability requirements ofthe regulations. Sincethe experimental certificate can be used for commercial purposes such as market surveys, sales demonstrations, and customer crew training, we would expect that an experimental certificate would permit our commercial purpose as well. The aircraft will not carry persons or property, will not carry fuel, and will only fly under strict operational requirements. Combined with the UA's light weight, being constructed primarily of carbon fiber and plastic, we propose that the UAwill be at least as safe, if notsafer, than a conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same mission. If an experimental airworthiness certificate is not appropriate for this application, then we request an exemption of 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H, and the requirement for an airworthiness certificate in general, citing the equivalent level of safety outlined in the previous paragraph.

### 14 CFR 91.203(a) 

### & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required.The regulation providesthat an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the aircr

..aft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be 11

### displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. 11

### At a maximum gross weight of 6.5 pounds, the UA is too small to carry documentation, does not have an entrance, and is not capable of carrying passengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, we propose that documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft bythe FAA will be co-located with the crew at the ground control station and available for inspection upon request In order to identifythe aircraft, we propose that the information found on airworthiness and registration certificates be permanently affixed to the aircraft via placard containing the following information plus the word 11

### EXPERIMENT AL11 

### to satisfy the requirement of 14 CFR 45.23, which follows immediately after the proposed placard description below:

Appendix A EXPERIMENTAL Manufacturer: DJIInnovations, Inc. 14th Floor, West Wing, Skyworth Semiconductor Design Building, No.l8 Gaoxin South 4th Ave, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China, 518057., 

### 14 CFR 45.23 Display of marks; general and 45.29 Size of marks.These regulations provide that each aircraft must display 11 

### N" and the aircraft's registration number in letters at least 3 inches high. Additionally, the aircraft must display the wordll EXPERIMENTAL"in letters at least 2 inches high near the entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station. The UA does not have an entrance in which the word "EXPERIMENTAL"can be placed, and may not have a registration number assigned to it bythe FAA. We propose to achieve an equivalent level of safety by including the word" EXPERIMENTAL"in the placard on the top of the aircraft, as shown above, where the PIC, VO and others in the vicinity ofthe aircraft while it is preparing for launch will be able to see the designation. Additionally, we

### feel that the permanent placard discussed in the previous paragraph will provide the aircraft's registration information at the ground station. Finally, we will display at the ground station a high contrast flag or banner that contains the words Aircraft Ground Stationllin letters 3 inches high or greater. Since the aircraft will operate within 3/4 NM ofthe ground station, the banner should be visible to anyone that observes the aircraft and chooses to investigate its point of origin. 14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements.This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual is in the aircraft. We assume that the intent of this requirement is to ensure that flight manual information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. We request an exemption to this requirement since the aircraft is not only too small to carry documentation, the documentation would not be available to the crew during flight operations. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a current, approved UA Flight Manual (Appendix A) must be available to the crew at the ground station anytime the aircraft is in, or preparing for, flight. 14 CFR 61 .113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in Command and 61 .133 Commercial pilot privileges and limitations.The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private pilot to act as pilot in command 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 aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. Our proposed operations require thatthe PIC must either 1 . Hold a Sport Pilot Certificate issued bythe FAA, and have logged 25 hours offlight experience in this type of UA, or 2. Meetthe requirements of 8900.227 para 16(c)(2)(c) llOperations without a pilot in which the PIC is required to complete 11 

### FAA private pilot ground and pass "the FAA Private Pilot written Since there are currently no means available for the pilot of a UAS to gain the experience in an equivalent category and class in order to apply for a commercial pilot's license, we propose to generate an

### equivalent level of safety by requiring our pilots to complete, at a minimum, FAA commercial pilot ground instruction and pass the FAA Commercial Pilot written examination in addition Appendix A to completing the private pilot requirements. Since the aircraft cannot carry passengers or property, we feel we meet the intent of 61.113 Subparagraph (b) even though the intent ofthis application is to conduct a business. 14 CFR 91.109 Flight Instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight testsThe regulation states that 11 

### No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." The ME System ground-based control station consists of a small hand-held radio transmitter and while it does not offer a second set of llControlsllwill, operate the single set of controls simultaneously. With both student and instructor having 11 

### hands-On 11

### the controls during flight, we feel that this technique meets the intent 91.109 and provides an equivalent level of safety. 14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.The regulation states that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the aircraft will be operating at a maximum of 400 feet AGL, we cannot comply with this requirement. In orderto provide an equivalent level of safety we will onlyfly over private property with a size of at least two acres with the permission ofthe owner of the property flown over. The aircraft will not be operated over congested areas or over any open-air assembly of persons. The property owner will be briefed on the expected route of flight and the associated risks to persons and property on the ground. The aircraft will be operated at a low altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. Therefore we maintain that due tothe small size of the UA, the hazard to persons, vehicles and structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in granting the exemption. 14 CFR 91 .121 Altimeter settings.The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimeter setting available

### within 100 NM of the aircraft. The UA will always fly below 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cruising altitudes in order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An Above Ground Level altimeter measurement above the takeoff point is transmitted via radio from the UA on-board computer to the display screen held bythe PIC, providing a constantly updated AGL readout. 14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions.The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after Therefore we maintain that due to the small size ofthe UA, the hazard to persons, vehicles and structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in granting the exemption. 14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings.The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimeter setting available within 1 00 NM ofthe aircraft. The UA will always fly below 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cruising altitudes in order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An Above Ground Level altimeter measurement above the takeoff point is transmitted via radio from the UA on-board computer to the display screen held by the PIC, providing a constantly updated AGL readout. 14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions.The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after

Therefore we maintain that due to the smaU size ofthe UA, the hazard to persons, vehicles and structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in granting the exemption. 14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings.The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising attitudes by reference to an altimeter setting available within 100 NM of the aircraft. The UA will always fly below 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cruising altitudes in order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An Above

### Ground Level altimeter measurement above the takeoff point is transmitted via radio from the UA on-board computer to the display screen held bythe PIC, providing a constantly updated AGL readout. 14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for ftight in VFR conditions.The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for at least 30 minutes. We feel the intention ofthis paragraph is to provide an energy reserve as a safety buffer for delays to landing. The UA is battery operated and the maximum duration of flight from a single battery charge is 18 minutes with a 20°/0 reserve. Since the aircraft will never fly more than 

### 314 NM from the point of intended landing, a full battery charge at launch will ensure that we meet the reserve energy requirement of this paragraph. We request an exemption to the word "fuel" and ask for an equivalent interpretation with the word "energy". 14 CFR Subpart E (91.401
- 91.417)- Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Alterations The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require that the aircraft be "approved for return to service by a person authorized under 43.

### T' after maintenance and inspection. It is our intention that the PIC perform maintenance and inspection of the aircraft and "be authorized to approve the aircraft for return to service." As provided in the Pre-Flight Checklist in Appendix A, the PIC will ensure that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition prior to every flight and in addition conduct detailed inspections after every two hours offlight. Maintenance performed bythe PIC is limited to repairing small cracks, replacing a propeller, checking electrical connections and updating software and firmware for the on-board computer. All other maintenance will be performed by the manufacturer or their designated repair facility. The PIC will document work performed in accordance with 91.417. We feel that due to the size, construction, and simplicity of the aircraft, the PIC can ensure an equivalent level of safety. 8900.227 Paragraph 16(c)(4) PIC Medical. and Paragraph 16(e)(1) Observer Medical.This policy provides that both the PIC and VO must have a valid FAA second-class medical certificate issued under part 67 in order to perform as a pilot or observer. The UA maximum gross weight is 6.5 pounds, it is constructed of carbon fiber and plastic and the PIC is not on

### board. Both the PIC and the VO are required to be in VLOS. Given the unlikely event that both the PIC and VO become medically incapacitated while the aircraft is in flight, the UA will return autonomously to the site of launching and land without crew intervention. Therefore, requiring the PIC and VO to meet the same medical requirements as a commercial pilot carrying passengers in a large aircraft is an unnecessary burden. We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision corrected to 20/20 and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that the PIC and VO can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is medically qualified to operate a much larger vehicle.

As set forth more fully below, Eagle Sight Photographer submits that an equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the 

### Dll Phantom 1 UAS unless thatPIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating thatthe PIC is able to safely operate eitherthe 

### Dll Phantom 1UAS ina manner consistent withthe operations specifications as described inthis exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Further, Eagle SightPhotographer submits that all flights ofthe 

### Dll Phantom 1UASs, conductedbythe PIC pursuantto the grant ofthis Petition: (1) will be incidental to Eagle Sight Photographerbusiness; and (2) will not carry passengers orproperty for compensation orhire. 2. Extent OfRelief Eagle Sight Photographer Seeks And The Reason Eagle Sight Photographer Seeks ReliefFrom Section 91.7(a)Relieffrom Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraftairworthiness, is requestedto the extent required to allowEagle SightPhotographer to determine thatthe 

### Dll Phantom1 UASs are in airworthy conditionpriorto every flight by ensuring thatthe UAS is in compliance with the operating documents. Eagle Sight Photographer seeks the requested reliefbecause the

### 4. Extent OfReliefEagle SightPhotographerSeeks andthe Reason Eagle Sight Photographer Seeks ReliefFrom Section 91.151(b)

Relieffrom Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements for flight inVFR conditions, is requested to the extentrequired to allow flights ofthe battery powered 

### Dll Phantom1 UA during daylight hours invisual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 16 minutes to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthatfor at least 4 minutes. Eagle Sight Photographer seeks the requested reliefbecause without an exemptionfrom Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration ofthebatterypowered 

### Dll Phantom 1UAs will severely constrainthe practicality ofany aerial video or still photo flight operations that Eagle Sight Photographer proposes to conduct pursuantto this Petition. 

### 5. Extent OfReliefEagle Sight Photographer Seeks And TheReason Eagle Sight Photographer Seeks ReliefFrom Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & 

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

### DllPhantom 1UAS do notrequire airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the 

### Dll Phantom 1UAS meetthe conditions ofFMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, Eagle Sight Photographer will use trained technicians to performmaintenance, alterations, orpreventive maintenance onthe UAS using the methods, techniques, and practicesprescribed inthe UAS operating documents Furthermore, Eagle Sight Photographer will document and maintain all maintenance records for the 

### Dll Phantom 1 UASs. 

### D. The Reasons Why GrantingEagle SightPhotographerRequestWould Be Inthe PublicInterest; ThatIs, How It

### Would Benefit ThePublic As A Whole. Granting the presentPetition will further the public interest by allowing Eagle Sight Photographer too safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography for real estate, special events, and landscape over certain areas ofthe United States. Additionally, use ofthe 

### Dll Phantom 1UAS will decrease congestion ofthe NAS, reduce pollution, and provide significantbenefits to the economy. Notably, thebenefits ofEagle Sight Photographerproposed operation ofthe 

### DllPhantom 1 UAS will be realized without implicating any privacy issues. 1. 

### ThePublicWill BenefitFrom Decreased Congestion OfTheNAS. The 

### DllPhantom 1 UA are batterypowered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. Byreducing the amount ofmanned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use ofa 

### Dll Inspire 1UAS would reduce the amount ofmanned aircraft intheNAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safety oflife andproperty inthe air and onthe ground. Furthermore, byreducing the number ofmanned aircraft operating inthe NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The 

### Dll Phantom 1UA does notrequire an airport to takeofforland. Likewise, a reduction ofmanned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result infewer aircraftthatmustbe handledby air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases offlight operations. 

### 2. ThePublicWill Benefitfrom the Safety and Efficiency OfThe DJIPhantoml UAS. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the 

### Dll Phantom 1 UAS, instead ofmanned aircraft, will greatly benefitthepublic by drastically reducing the levels ofair and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. Byusing battery power and electric motors, 

### Dll Phantom 1 UAS produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft thatare typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gallons perhour ofleaded aviation fuel. The Dll Phantom 1 UA, while reducing the carbon footprint ofaerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAis propelledby battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using Dll Phantom 1 UAS to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial riskto life and property in the air and onthe ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack offlight crewmembers located onboardthe aircraft, the Dll Phantom 1 UA (weighing 6 pounds 7.5 ounces respectively, at maximum gross weight with length of 17.3 inches respectively, width of 17.7 inches respectively, and withno fuel onboard), has less physicalpotential for collateral damage to life and property onthe ground, and inthe air, compared to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan ofapproximately 42 feet, a length of34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons). 

### 3. PerformingAerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 1 UASs Will Benefitthe Economy. In additionto being safe and efficient, the Dll Phantom 1UAS are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraftto conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation ofDll Phantom 1UAS will allow United States based companies, like Eagle SightPhotographer , to remain competitive and contribute to growth ofthe U.S. economy. Specifically, withthe rising cost of aviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in orderto remain competitive. Operating the battery powered Dll Phantom 1UAS is one suchtechnology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, butprovides such flexibility withoutthe high operational cost ofa traditional manned aircraft. By operating the Dll Phantom 1 UAS, companies such as Eagle Sight Photographer , canremain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greaterjob stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contributeto growth ofthe U.S. economy. Improved financial performance ofU.S. companies, through commercial use ofthe Dll Phantom 1 UAS, provides a stable workforce thatincreases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest inresearch and development in order to remain competitive both inthe United States and abroad. 

### 4. ThereAre No Privacy Issues. Similarto the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, Eagle Sight Photographer , LLC proposed operation ofthe Dll Phantom 1UASs will not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the

### Dll Phantom 1 UASs will be operated only in compliance with operating documents whichrequires property owner involvement and inaccordance withthe Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.P.R. § 91.119. 

### E. The Reasons Why GrantingTheExemptionWouldNot Adversely Affect Safety, Or How TheExemption Would ProvideA Level OfSafety AtLeastEqual To That ProvidedByThe Rule FromWhich Eagle SightPhotographerSeeks Exemption. 1. 

### Reasons WhyDJI Phantom 1 UA Meet The Conditions OfTheFAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA) Section 333. In consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associate withthe unmanned aircraft and its operation, Eagle SightPhotographer operation ofthe 

### Dll Phantom1 UAS meetthe conditions ofFMRA Section 333, and will notrequire an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazardto users oftheNAS orthepublic, or otherwise pose a threatto national security. In seeking this exemption, Eagle Sight Photographer submits thatthe 

### DllPhantom1 UAS can operate safely inthe NAS pursuantto FMRA Section 333, as demonstratedby: (a) the characteristics ofthe 

### Dll Inspire 1 UAS; (b) the pilot certificationrequirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations. 

### Flight Operations ofDJIPhantom 1 UAS AreLimited to theLine OfSight The UAmay not operate within 5 nautical miles ofan airportreference point as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chartunless a letter ofagreement withthat airport's management is obtained, and the operation is conducted inaccordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator's COA. The letter ofagreement withthe airport management mustbe made available to the Administrator uponrequest.
Ifthe UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it mustreturnto a predetermined location withinthe planned operating area and land orbe recovered in accordance with the operating documents. The PIC must abortthe flight in the event ofunpredicted obstacles oremergencies in accordance withthe operating documents. The PIC is prohibitedfrom beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enoughpowerto fly atnormal cruising speedto the intended landing point and land the UA with 25% battery power remaining.Tau image Without ACE

## 7. GPS &Compass Calibration Ifthe Compass Module is not used, you can skip this step.

The GPS module has a built-in magnetic field sensor for measuring the geomagnetic field, which is not the same in different areas. The GPS module will not work unless the Compass Module has been connected. Make sure the Compass Module connections are correct. Please always keep the compass module away from the magnet. If this situation occurs please change the compass module before flying. Otherwise it may damage the compass module and lead the aircraft to work abnormally or even be out of control. ferromagnetic substance and other electronic equipment when calibrating or flying. If you keep having calibration failure, it might suggest that there is magnetic interference or other ferromagnetic substance, please avoid flying in this
