# 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 of2012 (the "Reform Act"

or "Section 333"), Subsection (f) of 49 U.S.C. 

# § 44701, and 14 C.P.R. Part 11, McShane

Construction Company ("McShane Construction") seeks an exemption from the Federal

Aviation Regulations ("F ARs") listed below and discussed in 

# Appendix A to allow it to operate

the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K small Unmanned Aircraft Systems ("sUAS").

McShane Construction is a general contractor and construction firm involved in a number of

industries including healthcare, hospitality, industrial, office and corporate headquarters.

McShane Construction plans to use the sUAS for aerial imagery, inspection and data collection

services for its projects at construction sites in various locations across the United States. The

information collected by the sUAS will help McShane Construction inspect, monitor and oversee

its construction projects. This will in turn 

# translate to improved and more real-time decisions in

construction that will enhance overall safety and lead to economic efficiencies.

The safety and public benefits of using the sUAS in commercial construction applications are

significant. The sUAS reduce the need to operate manned aircraft in unconventional operations,

provide more accurate data in a manner that is more safe, economical and efficient, and with a

reduced impact on the environment.

Use of the sUAS also allows McShane Construction to limit inspections and construction site

monitoring that must otherwise be accomplished by using lifts, ladders, scaffolds and other

equipment at heights above work surfaces. Use of the sUAS will result in increased safety for

construction workers and inspectors.

Operations pursuant to the exemption will be subject to strict operating requirements and

conditions to ensure at least an equivalent level of safety to currently authorized operations using

manned aircraft and under conditions as may be modified by the FAA as required by Section

333.

The Yuneec Typhoon q500 4K weighs approximately 60.0 ozs (1,700 grams) with battery and

payload, and is powered electrically via a lithium polymer battery that drives four electric

propellers. It operates at a maximum flight speed of 8 meters per second. This sUAS was

designed with extensive automated control features, redundant systems, and integrated failsafes. Its default maximum flying height is 400ft, and McShane will conduct all operations

underneath the 400' limit.

Flight operations performed pursuant to this exemption will consist of at least two people: a

pilot-in-command (the "PIC") and visual observer. The PIC is responsible for the direct and safe

operation of the sUAS, monitoring their status and flight dynamics while maintaining visual line

of sight and keeping the flight within the manufacturer's specified limits in terms of wind, flight

range, battery life, and other operating limitations. The observer will be responsible for

monitoring the airspace for other aircraft and hazards, advising the PIC before and during flight

of all such observed risks, and monitoring the controlled operating area. The PIC will be a

certificated airman who holds either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational or

sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a

valid U.S. driver's license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory,

possession, or the federal government.

Because the sUAS will be used in lieu of comparatively higher risk operations now conducted

with either fixed wing and rotary manned aircraft or by individuals, McShane Construction's

operations will achieve at least an equivalent level of safety and fulfill the Secretary of

Transportation's responsibilities under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act to "establish

requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system."

The FAA has already granted many 333 exemption requests for operation of the sUAS model

requested here. [See, e.g, 

# FAA Exemption Nos. 11734, 11618, and 11438] Accordingly, it

should grant this exemption request without delay.

14 C.F.R. § 91.409(a)(1)-(2); and

14 C.F.R. § 91.417(a).

THE APPLICABLE LEGAL STANDARD UNDER SECTION 333

Grant of this exemption application for use of the sUAS in aerial photography, data collection

and inspection and monitoring applications will advance the Congressional mandate in Section

333 of the Reform Act to accelerate the introduction ofUAS into the national airspace system

("NAS") if it can be accomplished safely. This law directs the Secretary of Transportation to

consider whether certain UAS may operate safely in the NAS before completion ofthe

rulemaking required under Section 332 of the Reform Act. In

The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to issue exemptions. This

statutory authority, by its terms, includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is defined under

§40101 ofthe Act, from the requirement that all civil aircraft must have a current

airworthiness certificate and those regulations requiring commercial pilots to operate aircraft

in commercial service:

The Administrator may grant an exemption from a requirement

of a regulation prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) of this

section or any of sections 44 702-44 716 of this title if the

Administrator finds the exemption is in the public interest.

49 U.S.C. §44701(t). 

# See also 49 USC §44711(a); 49 USC §44704.

The grant of the requested exemption is in the public interest based on the clear direction in

Section 333 of the Reform Act; the additional authority in the Federal Aviation Act, as

amended; the strong equivalent level of safety surrounding the proposed operations; and the

-3-

# ~JoHNSON CHARTERED

# ~ 

# significant public benefit, including enhanced safety and cost savings associated with

transitioning to UAS for aerial imagery, data collection and inspection services. McShane

Construction therefore respectfully requests that the FAA grant the requested exemption

without delay.



# Airworthiness of the Yuneec 0500 4K

One element ofthe exemption application involves evidence ofthe airworthiness of the sUAS.

McShane Construction believes that the sUAS has been shown to be airworthy and compliant

with a significant level of safety. The previous 333 Grants of Exemptions by the FAA further

highlight that operations of the sUAS will not adversely affect safety when compared to similar

operations conducted by aircraft that have been issued an airworthiness certificate under 14

C.P.R. Part 21, Subpart H. [e.g.,FAA 

# Exemption Nos. 11734, 11618, and 11438]

To enhance safety, it is also important to note that the sUAS are equipped with automated

features which enhance safe takeoff, flight, and landing in many conditions, further details of

which are provided in the applicable YUNEEC Q500 4K User Manuals. 3



# To maintain airworthiness, McShane Construction will follow the inspection and maintenance

programs designed specifically for the sUAS by the manufacturer, YUNEEC. Those programs

are enhanced by an inflight monitoring system for the sUAS that monitor current position,

wind speed and direction, battery charge, flight time, and altitude, including both above the

takeoff location and above sea level. If onboard sensors detect a critical situation at any time

(low battery, close proximity to the ground, weak data link signal, etc.) the sUAS will

automatically initiate a preprogrammed safety procedure. In the event of any malfunction, the

sUAS will undergo all maintenance required by the manufacturer and undergo flight testing

before recommencing commercial operations.



# Proposed Operations and Associated Conditions

McShane Construction intends to use the YUNEEC Typhoon q500 4K, weighing about four

pounds with battery and payload (significantly less than 55 pounds), for the purpose of

collecting aerial photography and data, as well as aerial inspection and monitoring

applications at commercial construction sites.

All of the sUAS operations will occur under tightly controlled conditions on privately owned

land with the landowner's request and consent, solely during daylight hours, and at altitudes

well below that which would pose a risk to other aircraft. The operations will take place in

areas away from people, crowds and airports. Moreover, due to the nature and purpose ofthe

operations, McShane Construction anticipates that it will fly the sUAS at relatively low

altitudes and speeds and always below 400 feet AGL. The risk of interference with another

aircraft is therefore minimal.

Grant of this exemption to McShane Construction will be subject to the conditions listed in



# Appendix B, which are based upon the operating conditions required by the FAA's previous

-4-

# I •

STONE 

# & JOHNSON

CHARTERED

# ~ 

# grants of exemptions. The sUAS are characterized by a high degree of pre-programmed control

and various built-in technical capabilities that limit the potential for operation outside of the

conditions set forth in Appendix B

. 

# They were also designed with internal functional and

safety features to assist the operator in safe and reliable operation. With pre-programmed flights

and manual control, operators can easily maintain separation from manned aircraft operations

and avoid other hazards. In the controlled environment under the operations conditions in

Appendix B, 

# operations will remain within visual line-of-sight (VLOS) and below 400 feet

AGL.

Operator Requirements



# As a condition to the grant of the exemptions, McShane Construction will require that the PIC

hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational or sport pilot certificate. The

PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license

issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, possession, or the federal

government. The PIC will also be subject to the flight review requirements pursuant to the

Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs").

In addition, the PIC must complete a training program for each sUAS that he or she will operate

for McShane Construction. This training familiarizes the PIC to the operations and limitations

of the sUAS. Training will also include discussions on the basic fundamentals ofUAS

aerodynamics and technical limitations, as well as the more general topics of weather, the

National Airspace System, and the regulatory framework.

Public Interest



# The use of the sUAS in lieu of comparatively hazardous operations currently conducted with

manned aircraft offers a net safety benefit and will achieve an enhanced level of safety, as

mandated under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act. Approval of this application will also benefit

the public interest by allowing better, safer, and more cost efficient information for McShane

Construction and the public. Moreover, it will lessen the need for inspections by individuals that

must often use equipment to observe construction sites from heights above the surface.

Conventional aerial photography, inspection and monitoring operations using manned aircraft

involve heavy aerial aircraft that must transit from airports to the operational location, carrying

significant amounts of combustible fuel, and a multi-person crew. Manned aircraft are also at

risk of fuel spillage and fire in the event of an accident or incident. By contrast, use of the

sUAS is safe, economical and efficient.

No national security issue is raised by the grant of the requested exemptions. Given the size,

load-carrying capacity, the speed at which the sUAS operates (less than 25 meters per second),

and the fact that they do not carry explosives or other dangerous materials, the use of the sUAS

pose no threat to national security. In fact, the threat of causing damage to property is



# significantly reduced with the extremely low weight of the sUAS and limited operating areas.

Any other security concerns are ameliorated by the fact that all individuals holding an FAA

airman certificate are subject to a security screening by the U.S. Department of Homeland

Security. 49 U.S.C. 

# § 44903G)(2)(D)(i).

The grant of the requested exemption is in the public interest based on the clear direction in

Section 333, the Federal Aviation Act, the high and equivalent level of safety ofthe proposed

operations, and the significant public benefit, including enhanced safety and cost savings to be

realized as a result of the use of the sUAS for aerial imagery, data collection and inspections. It



# is also in-line with the previous Grants of Exemption by the FAA for the same sUAS model.

[FAA Exemption Nos. 11734, 11618, and 11438.] Accordingly, McShane Construction

respectfully requests that the FAA grant an expedited exemption.

EXEMPTION REQUEST AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL 

# 0 FSAFETY SHOWINGS

UNDER APPLICABLE RULES SUBJECT TO EXEMPTION

14 C .F.R.Part21,SubpartH :Airworthiness

Certificates 14 C FR § 91.203(a)(1)

Section 91.203(a)(l) requires all civil aircraft to have a certificate of airworthiness. Part 21,

Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the

issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR§ 91.203(a)(1). Given the very small

size of the aircraft and the limited operating area associated with their utilization, it is

unnecessary to go through the certificate of airworthiness process under Part 21 Subpart H to

achieve or exceed current safety levels.

Such an exemption meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and

Section 333 of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act and Section 333 of the Reform

Act both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness

certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, and

proximity to airports and populated areas of the UAS involved.

In this case, an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that the sUAS operated without an

airworthiness certificate, under the conditions proposed herein, will be at least as safe, or

safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) with an airworthiness certificate.

The Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K weights about 60 ounces with battery and payload. It does

not carry a pilot or passenger and does not carry flammable fuel, and will operate exclusively

within an area pre-disclosed and in compliance with conditions set forth herein. Operations

under this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by the operator, pursuant to the

conditions set forth in 

# Appendix B, the applicable Yuneec manuals, and by local public

safety requirements.

Receipt of the prior permission of the land owner (or lessee), the size of the aircraft, the lack of

flammable fuel, and the fact that the aircraft is carried to the location and not flown there all

establish the equivalent level of safety. The sUAS provide at least an equivalent level of

safety to that of such operations conducted with conventional manned aircraft that would be

orders-of-magnitude larger and would be carrying passengers, cargo, and flammable fuel. The

safety features including the Home feature, as described in the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K User

Manuals, and throughout this document, underscore the importance placed on safety and

reliability in the design and manufacture of the sUAS.



# 14 C .F.R.§ 91.7 (a)-(b);Civil Aircraft Airworthiness

Section 91.7(a) requires that a civil aircraft must be in airworthy condition to be operated. In

previous grants of exemption for the sUAS, the FAA concluded that an exemption was

required under 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a). In each instance, the FAA granted relief under§ 91.7(a)

1

# through a requirement that each petitioner ensure that the sUAS is in an airworthy conditionbased on compliance with the User Manual- prior to every flight. McShane Construction

therefore requests that the FAA find similar relief under the same conditions here.

Section 91.7(b) places responsibility on the PIC to ensure an aircraft is in a condition safe

for flight. In prior grants of exemption to the sUAS, the FAA determined that exemption

from this section was not necessary. [See, e.g., 

# Exemption No. 11191; 11195; 11120.] To

the extent that the FAA determines an exemption is required here, McShane Construction

respectfully requests that the FAA find compliance with the manufacturer's manuals, and

requirements of the grant of exemption, a sufficient means for ensuring that the sUAS are in

a condition for safe flight.



# 14 C .F.R.§ 91.113;Right-of-WayRules

Section 91.113 requires that vigilance be maintained by each person operating an aircraft to

see and avoid other aircraft. Unlike manned aircraft, the sUAS pilot is not on-board the

aircraft to observe and avoid other aircraft, operating the sUAS from the ground.

McShane Construction's proposed operating conditions will achieve an equivalent or greater

level of safety. All operations will involve two individuals-one FAA certificated pilot as the

PIC and one visual observer who will monitor the immediate and surrounding airspace of the

operation for potential obstruction hazards and other possible intrusions. The sUAS will also be

limited to designated areas below 400 feet AGL.



# 14 C .F.R.§ 61.113(a)& (b);61.133(a):Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations; Pilot

in Command; Commercial Pilot Privileges and Limitations

Section 61.113(a) 

# & (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Unlike a

conventional aircraft that carries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, the sUAS are remotely

controlled with no passengers or property of others on-board. Section 61.133(a) requires an

individual with at least a commercial pilot's license to act as pilot in command of an aircraft for

compensation or hire.

McShane Construction respectfully proposes that operator requirements should take into

account the characteristics of the particular UAS. Here, the sUAS have a high degree of preprogrammed control and various built-in technical capabilities that strictly limit the potential

for operation outside of the operating conditions set forth in 

# Appendix B and the exemption

application. The small size, endurance, range and payload capacities ofthe sUAS mean that no

passengers and/or cargo will ever be carried by the aircraft. Rather, commercial operations will

be strictly limited to acquiring aerial imagery, data collection and inspections.

Considering these conditions, operating limitations and restrictions, an equivalent level of

safety will be provided by allowing operation of the sUAS by McShane Construction with

individuals who possess a valid FAA airline transport, commercial, private, recreational or

sport pilot certificate. The risks associated with the operation of the sUAS (given their small

size, speed, operational capabilities and limitations, and lack of combustible fuel) are so

diminished from the level of risk associated with commercial operations (and even operations

2

# '·



# permitted with a private pilot certificate) contemplated by Part 61 with manned aircraft, that

allowing operations of the sUAS as set forth in Appendix B 

# meets and exceeds the present

level of safety provided under 14 C.F .R. § 61.113(a)-(b ), and does not call for a commercial

pilot certificate as set forth in§ 61.133. [FAA Exemption No. 11357 (requiring at least a

recreational or sport pilot certificate, and a current FAA airman medical certificate or valid

U.S. driver's license).]

14 C FR § 91.119:Minimum Safe Altitudes



# Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Specifically, 91.119( c)

limits aircraft flying over areas other than congested areas to an altitude of 500 feet above the

surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may

not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

As set forth herein, the sUAS will not operate at higher than 400 feet AGL. The sUAS will,

however, be operated to avoid congested or populated areas. Because aerial photography,

data collection and inspection work must be accomplished at relatively low altitudes and at

altitudes less than 500 feet AGL, an exemption from Section 91.119( c) is needed.

The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, speed, and material with

which the sUAS are built. Also, all flights will be conducted over private and/or controlledaccess property with the permission of the land owner or those who control the land. Because of

the advance notice to the landowner, all affected individuals will be aware of the flights.

Compared to operations conducted with aircraft or rotorcraft weighing far more than the

sUAS, and carrying flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations will be

significantly less than those currently allowed with conventional aircraft operating at or below

500 feet AGL. Indeed, the low-altitude operations of the sUAS will maintain separation from

operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with Section 91.119.

14 C .F.R.§ 91.151(a):Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions



# This regulation prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under VFR

conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly

to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) 

# During the day,

to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes."

The Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K is powered by a removable, rechargeable, lithium-polymer

battery that provides approximately 25 minutes of powered flight. Without an exemption from

§ 14 CFR 91.151, flights by McShane Construction would not be possible. Given the

limitations on the proposed operations and their locations, a less burdensome reserve

requirement for flight in daylight VFR conditions is reasonable. Moreover, the Yuneec

Typhoon Q500 4K provides low battery warnings that indicate the PIC must command the

aircraft's return to the launch point when low battery capacity voltage is reached. A critical low

battery warning is also provided. The aircraft will initiate an automatic descent and landing at

the critical low battery warning.

3

# An exemption from 14 CFR 

# § 91.151(a) is safe and within the scope ofthe prior exemptions

for the sUAS. 

# [See, e.g., Exemption Nos. 11734, 11618, and 11438] In line with the previous

grants of exemption, McShane Construction requests that the FAA grant relief under the

condition that the PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather

conditions) there is enough power to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming

normal cruise speed, land the sUAS and to operate after that for at least 5 minutes. 

# [See

Exemption No. 11325.]



# 14 C .F.R.§ § 91.9(b)(2);91.203(a)-(b);Carriage of Civil Aircraft Airworthiness

Certificate and Registration

Sections 91.9(b) and 91.203(a)-(b) require an aircraft operator to carry airworthiness

documents and other aircraft manuals onboard the aircraft at all times. Because the sUAS

are small in size and do not contain a cabin or flight deck, carriage of such documents and

manuals is impossible.

The intent of these regulations is to ensure that the PIC has access to important documents

during flight. Here, an equivalent level of safety is achieved if the PIC has access to the

applicable sUAS manual(s), registration certificate and other required documents from the

Ground Control Station from which he or she is conducting operations. This is consistent with

a prior opinion of the FAA Office of the Chief Counsel, and other grants of exemptions for

commercial UAS operations. 

# [See Memorandum from Mark Bury, FAA Assistant Chief

Counsel for International Law, Legislation and Regulation, to John Duncan, FAA Flight

Standards Service (Aug. 8, 2014).]



# 14 C .F.R.§ 91.121:AltimeterSettings

Section 91.121 requires that each individual operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising

altitude or flight level of that aircraft, as the case may be, by reference to an altimeter that is

set, when operating below 18,000 feet MSL to:

0 

# The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 100

nautical miles of the aircraft;

0 

# If there is no station within the area prescribed in paragraph (a)(l)(i) of this section,

the current reported altimeter setting of an appropriate available station;

0 

# In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the departure

airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure.

To provide an equivalent level of safety, the sUAS autopilot calculates the reference altitude

(ground level) with on-board GPS. The altitude information generated from the GPS is

transmitted to the PIC. The PIC shall confirm the altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS

altitude indicator before flight. The FAA has granted relief from this section in prior grants of

exemption under the condition that the operator set the altimeter to zero feet AGL rather than

local barometric pressure or field altitude before each flight. [Exemption Nos. 11062 and

11067.] A similar grant of exemption is thus warranted here.

# 14 C .F.R.§ § 91.405(a);407 (a)(1);409(a)(2);417 (a):Maintenance Inspections



# Section 91.405(a) requires that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected

as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as

provided in paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of

this chapter

.... " Section 91.407 similarly makes reference to requirements in Part 43; Section

91.409(a)(2) requires an annual inspection for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate.

Section 91.417(a) requires the owner or operator to keep records showing certain maintenance

work that has been accomplished by certificated mechanics, under Part 43, or licensed pilots

and records of approval of the aircraft for return to service.

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the sUAS are small in size, will solely

operate in limited and predetermined areas, and are not large, complex mechanical machines.

McShane Construction will perform all maintenance and inspections in accordance with the

manufacturers' manuals and any required manufacturer Safety or Service Bulletins. In

addition, the PIC will conduct a pre-flight inspection of the sUAS and all associated

equipment to account for all discrepancies and/or inoperable components. Maintenance will be

performed and verified to address any conditions potentially affecting safe operation of the

sUAS and no flights will occur unless and until all flight critical components of the sUAS have

been found to be in a condition for safe operation. A functional flight test will be conducted

following the replacement of any flight-critical components.

# APPENDIXB

MCSHANE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OPERATING RESTRICTIONS AND

LIMITATIONS

1) Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the Yuneec Typhoon

Q500 4K. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a

petition to amend this grant.

2) The sUAS shall not be flown at a ground speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour).

3) Above Ground Level ("AGL") altitude shall be restricted to 400 feet. All altitudes

reported to Air Traffic Control ("ATC") shall be in feet AGL.

4) The sUAS shall be operated within Visual Line-of-Sight ("VLOS") of the pilot-incommand ("PIC") and visual observer at all times. The PIC must use human vision

unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC's FAAissued medical certificate.

5) All operations must utilize a visual observer ("VO"). The VO may be used to satisfy the

VLOS requirement as long as the PIC maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must

be able to communicate verbally at all times. The PIC must be designated before the flight

and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight.

6) Any and all additional requirements identified in the exemption grant by the FAA shall

be added to the sUAS Operations Documents ("OD"). The OD must be maintained and

made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the

conditions and limitations in the granted exemptions and the OD, the conditions and

limitations in the granted exemptions shall take precedence and must be followed.

Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures outlined in the OD.

The operator may update or revise its OD. It is the operator's responsibility to track such revisions

and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon the request. The operator

must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for an extension or amendment of

the granted exemptions. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the

basis upon which the FAA granted the exemptions, then the operator must petition for

amendment to its exemptions. The FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted if

questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the OD.

7) Prior to each flight the PIC must inspect the sUAS to confirm that it is in a condition for

safe flight. The preflight inspection shall account for all discrepancies 

# (i.e., inoperable

components, items, or equipment). The PIC shall not operate the aircraft if the inspection

reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the sUAS until the necessary

maintenance has been performed and the sUAS is found to be in a condition for safe

flight. The Ground Control Station ("GCS") shall be included in the preflight inspection.

# 8) Any sUAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the sUAS operation

or flight characteristics (e.g., 

# replacement of a flight critical component) must undergo a

functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make an entry

in the sUAS aircraft records.

9) McShane Construction must follow the manufacturer's aircraft/component maintenance,

overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements.

special visual flight rules (SVFR) shall not be conducted.

27) The sUAS shall not be operated from any moving device or vehicle.

28) The sUAS shall not be operated closer than 500 feet below or 2,000 feet horizontally

from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

29) Operations will not be conducted within a 5 NM range ofthe geographic center of an

airport as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless permission

has been obtained from the local control tower or, in the case of a non-towered airport,

# written notice has been provided to the airport's management, and the operation is

conducted in accordance with a NOT AM as required by the grant of this exemption.

30) All operations shall be conducted over private and/or controlled-access property with

permission from the landowner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from

the landowner, controller, manager or authorized representative will be obtained for each

flight to be conducted.

31) Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical

boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA shall be reported to

the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents shall be

reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained
