**Information for 4K Aerial Imaging**

**Sections we are seeking relief from**  Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the “Reform Act”) (“Section 333”), Subsection (f) of 49 U.S.C. § 44701, and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, 4K Aerial Imaging, LLC requests an exemption from the following Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”): 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.119(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)( 1); 14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(1) and (2); 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b).
**Public Interest** 4K Aerial Imaging’s use of UAS for videoing and photographing utility components (e.g., powerlines, powerline p oles, and transformers) as well as survey mapping can reduce the required manpower as well as the likelihood of inspection related injuries. A small UAS can be used to safel y inspect powerlines instead of a large helicopter hovering within a close proximity

of powerlines carrying persons onboard with hundreds of gal lons of combustible fuel. The environmental impact can also be reduced when using small UAS instead of traditional methods of utility inspection. Small UAS can inspect, photograph and collect data in hard to reach areas that otherwise would require worker inspection. Manned aircraft have a greater possibility of becoming a threat to the general public through potential catastrophic crashes resulting in loss of life

. Our small UAS pose no such threat due to their small size ( each weighing less than 10 pounds ), no onboard pilot, and lack of combustible fuel . This alleviates a large amount of potential threat s to the public. Additionally , small UAS reduce the environmental impact by dramatically decreasing the energy

used for aerial imaging. Our two UAS are pow ered by Li

- Po batteries , which are much safer than combustible aviation fuel. **Safety Precautions** 1.) The UAS will weigh less than 10 pounds. 2.) Flights will be operated within visual line of sight of the pilot. 3.) Maximum total flight time for each operational flight per UAS will not exceed 30 minutes

. 4.) Flights will be operated normally at approximately

25 feet AGL, never exceeding 200 feet AGL. 5.) Vertical and h orizontal flight speed will not exceed 20 miles per hour (mph). 6.) Crew for each operation will consist of the UAS Pilot who will keep the UAS within his/her visual line of sight at all times and a Visual Observer who will also keep the aircraft within line of sight as well as watch for other aircraft or personnel that might enter the operations area. 7.) Pilot and Visual Observer will keep in constant verbal contact throughout the duration of each flight. If conventional aircraft or unauthorized personnel enter the flight operations area unexpe ctedly , the flight will be terminated immediately

. 8.) The UAS pilot will be trained in flight, operations, checklists and safety procedures pertinent to each UAS.9.) The UAS will only operate in a confined predetermined area around which a security perimeter will be established for flight operations. 10 .) A briefing will be cond ucted in regard to the planned UAS operations prior to each flight. 11 .) Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will be obtained where necessary

. 12 .) All required permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire or other appropriate governmental agencies when required. 13 .) The pilot will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requi rements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight. 14 .) If either of our UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will be set to automatically

return to a predetermined location within the security perimeter and land. 15 .) The pilot will abort a flight (return to home) in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies with the push of a button. 16.) UAS will not be flown within 5 miles of airports as shown on current FAA

published aeronautical char ts unless authorization has been granted b y the controlling ATC facility

governing that airport. 17 .) Pilot will preflight/inspect UAS for airworthiness prior to each flight including the Ground Control station. 18 .) Pilot will maintain each UAS and prop erl y document all maintenance and alterations as conducted b y the pertinent manufacturers. 19 .) Pilot will conduct a functional test flight after all maintenance prior to the next operational flight. 20.) All flights will be flown only during daylight hours under visual meteorological conditions (VMC).
