I, John Jordan, hereby submit this petition for exemption under 

Section 333; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 

112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333.

I request this exemption in order to operate my UAV/UAS, DJI 

Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter Aircraft, in order to provide 

services for profit to include aerial photography, aerial 

cinematography, aerial filming and photography for real estate, 

construction firms, agricultural modeling, crop monitoring operations, 

aerial mapping, special events to include but not limited to weddings, 

private or public parties/events, business advertising, promotional 

events, geological surveying, and environmental studies.

The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and 

individuals in my community will benefit them by opening up 

opportunities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods 

of aerial photography/videography are simply not viable options for 

the average consumer as they are costly and involve greater risks to 

everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carrying humans and 

flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be 

achieved with much safer conditions.

Prior to each flight/operation of the UAV/UAS, I will conduct a PreFlight Safety Inspection. 

Any and all repairs will be performed only by the manufacturers 

authorized repair facilities/ providers. Flights will not take place over 

densely populated areas or private property without the owners 

permission. The UAV/UAS will only be operated within visual line of 
sight and will not be flown near airports or above 400 feet. The FAA 

can be confident that operations of this UAV/UAS will achieve at least 

the equivalent or greater level of safety.

The requests of this petition are similar to those of Mr. Jase W. 

Robak, Mr. Todd Thomas Drone Pics, and Mr. Mike Lloyd Lloyd & 

Associates, all of whom have received Section 333 exemptions for 

comparable aircraft for similar operations.

The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exemption 

are as follows:

14 C.F.R. Part 21;

14 C.F.R. 45.23(b);

14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5);

14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) & (b);

14 C.F.R. 61.133 (a);

14C.F.R. 91.109(a);

14 C.F.R. 91.119;

14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1);

14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(2};

14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) & (b).
