Exemption Request for commercial operation of Unmanned Aircraft Systems under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform

Act of 2012 and 14 C. F. R. Part 11

Dear Sir or Madam,

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization a nd Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) and 14 C. F. R. Part 11, Tyrmata hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") to allow commercial operation of its small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASs), so long as such ope rations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined in this petition for exemption, the enclosed Motion Picture and Television Operations Manual (MPTOM), the enclosed sUAS operations and/or instructions manuals, or as may be established by the F AA as required by Section 333.

As described more fully below, the request exemption permit commercial operation by Tyrmata, which will utilize the 3DRobotics

X8 series , 3DRobotics Aero, 3DRobotics IRIS series , DJI Phantom 2, DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJ I Phantom 3, Tyrmata QTR01, Yuneec Q500 series, and DJI Inspire 1 small Unmanned Aircraft Systems for flight training, aerial photography, videography, digital imagery,and data acquisition to be used specifically for closed

- set motion picture and telev ision filming, search and rescue operati o ns, journalism and news gathering, special events, real estate, precision agriculture, information and data acquisition, humanitarian operations, education, news, environmental management, scientific analysis, fire spotting/monitoring, law enforcement support operations, and for inspection of land, structures, and construction projects.

Commercial operation under this exemption shall be limited to operations in day VFR conditions at low altitude in airspace that i s permitted in accordance with the approved Certificate of Authorization (COA) at the time of operation and shall be subject to strict operating requirements and conditions set forth below to ensure at least an equivalent level of safety to those of curren tly authorized operations utilizing manned aircraft. Approval of this exemption would ultimately provide safer operation, improved quality, and improved affordability to the existing industry currently utilizing manned aircraft thereby promoting industry growth and fulfilling 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. "

For your convenience, Tyrmata has organized this exemption request as follows:

II. Relevant Statutory Authority

This petition for exemption is submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 333(a) through (c) of the Reform Act. Congress has directed the FAA "to safely accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system. " Pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act, the FAA Administrator is to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the National Airspace ("NAS") before completion of the formal UAS rule making, based on the following considerations:

• The UAS's size, weight, speed and operational capability;• Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; and • Operation of the UAS within visual line of sight of the operator.

If the Secretary determines that such vehicles "may operate safely in the National Airspace System, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft in the National Airspace System".

Additionally, the FAA Administrator has general authority to grant exemptions from its safety regulations and minimum standards when the Administrator decides a requested exemption is in the public interest. A party requesting an exemption must explain the reasons why the exemption: (1) wou ld benefit the public as a whole, and (2) would not adversely affect safety (or how it would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rules).

The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to issue exemptions. This stat utory authority, by its terms, includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is defined under 40101 of the 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.

III. Qualifications for Approval Under Section 333 of the Reform Act

The proposed operations in this petition for exemption qualify for expedited approval under Section 333 of the Reform Act. Each of

the statu tory criteria and other relevant factors are satisfied.

The proposed operations would permit Tyrmata the use of small UAS under controlled conditions in airspace that is: (1) predetermined; (2) controlled as to access; and that (3) provides an

Increased level of safety beyond that existing when fixed or rotor wing aircraft are used to accomplish the same purpose.

Tyrmata utilizes multi

- rotor sUASs that weight far less than 55 pounds and operate at speeds of no greater than 50 mph. These

multi

- rotor s ystem s allow the UASs to hover and move freely andsimultaneously in the vertical and horizontal plane. Tyrmata shall operate its UASs within visual line of sight, during day VMC conditions, and shall only operate within a sterile area as approved by the ATO through the COA. Unless otherwise authorized by the FAA, Tyr mata shall operate at or below 5 00 feet AGL and shall obtain required permissions and permits from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies prior to all operations.

Given the small size of the s UASs involved and the restricted sterile environment within which they will operate, this exemption falls within the zone of safety and demonstrates an equivalent level of safety, in which Congress desired the FAA to permit commercial UAS operations by exe mption while pending completion of formal rule making. Also, due to the size of the sUASs and the confined area in which the sUASs will operate, approval of the application presents no significant hazard in the NAS.

Considering the clear direction in S ection 333 of the Reform Act, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, the equivalent level of safety surrounding the proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, the grant of the requested exemptions is also in the public interest.

IV. Description of Proposed Operations

Tyrmata proposes that the exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for at least an equivale nt or even higher level of safety to operations under the current regulatory structure because the proposed operations represent a safety enhancement to the already safe aerial photography and cinematography filming operations conducted

with conventional m anned aircraft.

To assist the FAA in its safety assessment of Tyrmata's proposed sUAS operations, below is a summary of operational limitations and conditions that will ensure an equivalent or higher level of safety to operations conducted under current regulatory guidelines:1. The sUASs shall weigh less than 55 lbs including payload.

2. All sUASs used for operations shall be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (NNumber ) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings shall be as large as practicable.

3. All sUAS's maintenance, and repairs shall be completed pursuant to the flight manual, operating handbook, and

manufacturer technical support as appl icable and available to each

individual sUAS.

4. At least 45 days prior to any scheduled filming a Certificate of Authorization (COA) request shall be submitted to the Air Traffic Organization via UAS COA Online System.

5. Documents used by the ope rator to ensure the sa fe operation and flight of the U AS and any docume nts required under 14 CFR §§

91.9 and 91. 203 shall be available to the Pilot In Command (PIC) at

the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documen ts shall be made available to the administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

6. Flights shall be operated within line of sight of a pilot and/or

visual observer.

7. UAS operations shall be conducted during during day visual

meteoro logical conditions (VMC), as defined in 14 CFR § 1. 1.

8. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight shall be

limited to the amount of time the sUAS can be flown and still maintain enough available power for the UA to conduct the

intended o peration and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if
greater.

9. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 5 00 feet AGL or, not more than 200 feet above an elevated plat form for which filming is planned. 10. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less

than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

11. All Flight operations shall be conducted a t least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500

feet of the UA S , flight operations shall cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determine d that it does not present an undue hazard; or Flight operations closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be involved are necessary for the filming production, as specified in the enclosed MPTOM. 12. Minimum crew for each operatio n will consist of the sUAS Pilot in Command and a Visual Observer. Additional crew may consist of a Camera Operator. 13. Observer, PIC, and any other crew required shall at all times be able to communicate by voice and/or two

- way radio communication

sy stem. 14. The Pilot in Command shall hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC

shall also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid

U.S. driver's license issued by a state, t he District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC shall meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61. 56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

15. N o pilot shall be permitted to operate unless the pilot demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with the enclosed MPTOM including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency shall be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51 (b). 16. Flights for the purposes of training PICs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experience

- building) and determining the PIC's ability to safely operate the UAS shall only be conducted duringdedicated training sessions. During such training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations shall be considered nonparticipants , and the PIC shall operate the UA S with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91. 119. 17. All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO

issued COA. If there is intent to conduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA, Tyrmata shall apply for a new or amended COA. 18. The UAS shall not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport's management is obtained or otherwise permitted by the issued COA.

The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon
request. 19. Tyrmata shall submit a written "Plan of Activities" to the local Right Standards District Office (FSDO) having jurisdicti on over the area of proposed filming three days in advanced of operations during film or movie productions.

20. If applicable, all required permissions and permits will be obtained from relevant property owners, controllers, or representatives and/or t erritorial, state, county, or city jurisdictions to include local law enforcements, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies.

21. A preflight briefing including all involved parties shall be conducted in regards to the planned sUAS operations p rior to each day's production activities to include a site inspection, weather brief, identification of potential hazards and risks, and risk mitigation. Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight,

become familiar with all available informatio n concerning that flight.

22. The PIC shall ensure that the sUAS remains clear and gives way to all manned aviation operations and

activities at all times.

23. The UAS shall not be operated from any moving device or

vehicle.24. In the event of an accident involving an MDV sUAS, they will cease operations and report the accident to the NTSB and AFS

- 80.

25. If the event that a sUAS loses communications signal, the sUAS shall have the capability to return to a pre

determined an d pre

- set location within the Sterile Area and land.

26. In the case of an in

- flight emergency to include loss of communication between the pilot and the observer, the PIC shall (I) maintain control of the sUAS to the max extent possible, (2) Ry the

U AS to a safe area free of persons or property, (3) Abort the operation, (4) land the sUAS as soon as practicable as determined by the PIC. Right operations shall not be resumed until the cause of the emergency is identified and corrected.

27. Any inci dent, 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 t o the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site.

A. 14 CFR §61. 113(a)&(b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations;

Pilot in CommandTyrmata respectfully requests and exemption from 14 CFR §61. 1 13(a)&(b) which limits private pilots to non

- commercial operations.

Unlike a conventio nal aircraft that carries a pi lot, passengers, and cargo, Tyrmata’s sUASs are remotely controlled with no passengers or property on board, no flammable fuel, and weight less than 55lbs. Therefore, Tyrmata proposes that the actual operation of a

sUAS does require that the pilot at the controls hold a conventional pilot certificate. Nevertheless, Tyrmata also proposes that a PIC is required at the Ground Control Station that holds at least an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pi lot certificate. This requirement is necessary because of the need for understanding of different airspaces and current FAA regulation applicable in sUAS operation. Not unlike conventional manned aircraft the pilot at the controls may not necessarily be the pilot in command. Also as in conventional manned aircraft, the PIC shall

have direct two

- way communication with all crew, shall be responsible for the overall safety of flight operations including extensive knowledge of applicable regulations and airs pace, and shall have the capability to assume control of the sUAS at any time in the case of necessity or emergency.

Equivalent Level of Safety shall be maintained because Tyrmata will utilize both a PIC and a Pilot crew system. This system will add a level of safety to the current safety requirements being authorized by the FAA because it will allow the pilot at the controls to concentrate on flying and filming while while the PIC is free to concentrate on the safety of the entire operation. It will a lso alleviate the undo burden of expensive and timely conventional flight training for sUAS pilots which does not directly translate into the necessary skill set for a pilot to safely fly/operate a sUAS. Minimum Requirements for qualification as both Pilo t and PIC are

established in the enclosed MPTOP.

B. 14 CFR Part 21 Subpart H, §91. 203(a)(1): Airworthiness

Certificates

Tyrmata respectfully requests an exemption from 14 CFR Part 21 Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, which establishest he procedural requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91. 203(a)( 1). Given the small size and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by Tyrmata, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U. S. C. §44701(f)) 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 particular UAS.

Equivalent Level of Safety shall be maintained because an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that an sUAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricted environment and under the proposed operational conditions conditions will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional manned aircraft operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and Proposed Operational conditions. Additionally, the PIC shall be responsible for determining whether the sUAS is in condit ion for safe flight and shall discontinue any flight when an unairworthy mechanical, electrical, or structural condition occurs.

C. 14 CFR §45. 23(b): Marking of the Aircraft

Tyrmata respectfully requests an exemption from 14 CFR §45. 23(b) which re quires that the applicable category of the aircraft be displayed "on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station" and that the lettering for the category and the N registration number be "not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high. " The sUAS has no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which any word can be placed and given the size of the sUAS, two

- inch lettering would be impossible. Tyrmata proposes placing the lettering for the category of aircraft and N registration number in a location visible in flight and that the lettering shall be as large as practicable.

D. 14 CFR §91. 203(a)(2), §91. 9(b)(2): US. Registration Certificate & Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in theAircraft

Tyrmata respectfully r equests an exemption from 14 CFR §91. 203 and 14 CFR §91. 9(b)(2) which require that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless an appropriate and current registration certificate and a flight manual are available inside the aircraft. The

sUAS with its size and configuration, has no ability or place to carry a registration certificate or flight manual inside the aircraft nor is there a need to carry such items inside given that there will be no pilot or crew on board.

The equivalent level of safety w ill be maintained by keeping the appropriate and current registration certificate and flight manual at the Ground Control Station where all crew and involved personnel will have immediate access to them as required.

E. 14 CFR §91. 119: Minimum Safe Alt itudes

Tyrmata respectfully requests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude requirements of 14 CFR 91. 119 that prescribes the minimum safe altitudes under which aircraft may operate:

• Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1 ,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the

aircraft.

• Over other than congested areas at an altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or s parsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

Given the small size, limited speed, and lack of flammable fuel a sUAS, the danger in flying a sUAS is not to " persons or property on the surface" but rather to other aircraft flying above. Therefore, Tyrmata proposes that a minimum safe altitude it is not required and that, in lieu, a maximum safe altitude be established in order to ensure separation between the sUAS and those conventional aircraft that are required to comply with Section 91. 119.Equivalent Level of Safety shall be maintained because the risk associated with low level sUAS operation is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 AGL in the aerial photography and cinematography industry. To mitigate the risk of low

- level flight to persons and property and to ensure separation between the sUAS and conventional aircraft, Tyrmata shall comply with l imitations established in the approved COA for each operation.

F. 14 CFR §91. 121: Altimeter Settings

Tyrmata respectfully requests an exemption from 14 CFR 91. 121, which requires a person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude or flight level by reference to an altimeter that is set to the elevation of the departure airport or barometric pressure. An exemption is required because the sUAS does not have a barometric altimeter, but rather a GPS altitude read out.

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved through the use of the Preflight Check List located in the respective UAS's user manual. The pilot, pursuant to the Preflight Check List, shall confirm the

altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitud e indicator before flight and shall utilize the GPS altitude indicator to constantly monitor the UAS's height; thus ensuring operation at

safe altitudes.

G. 14 CFR §91. 151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR

Conditions

Tyrmata requests an exempti on from 14 CFR §91. 15l(a) which mandates that during daytime operations no person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing to fly after that for at

least 30 minutes. The batteries powering Tyrmata's UASs provide approximately 23 minutes of powered flight when fully charged. It is therefore impossible to comply with the 30 minutes reserve requirement in 14 CFR §91. 151. Tyrmata proposes that it shall maintain enough a vailable power for the sUAS to conduct theintended operation and to operate after that for at least five

minutes.

Equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the UASs shall be operated within a limited, predetermined flight area and the takeoff and landing site shall therefore be the same. In addition, the UAS's program gives ample warning when battery power drops below 33% and also automatically calculates a bingo battery life with included reserve based on altitude, distance, and required RTB flight profile.

H. 14 CFR §91. 405(a), §91. 407(a)(l), §91. 409(a)(2); §91. 417(a)&(b): Maintenance Inspections

Tyrmata respectfully requests an exemption from the maintenance inspection requirements contained in 14 CFR §91. 405(a), §91. 407(a)(l), § 91. 409(a)(2); §91. 417(a)&(b). These regulations specify maintenance and inspection standards in reference to 14 CFR Part 43. 14 CFR §91. 405(a) mandates that each owner or operator of an aircraft "shall have the aircraft inspected as prescribed in subp art E of this part and shall between required inspections ... have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of t his chapter." Given that these sections and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these sections will not

app ly if a civil aircraft airworthiness (14 C. F. R. §91. 7(a)) exception is granted.

Equivalent level of safety will be achieved due to the simplicity, light weight, and versatility of the sUASs which lack the moving parts and complicated systems that co nventional manned aircraft possess. Small UASs therefore require far less maintenance and are far less likely to experience a system failure than a conventional aircraft. Furthermore, an in

- flight system failure of a sUAS poses significantly less risk to persons and property. In the case of an in

flight emergency/system failure of a sUAS, the PIC shall abort the operation and the sUAS shall be landed as soon as as soon as practicable. Inspections, maintenance, and repairs shall be completed pursuant to the flight manual, MPTOM, and

manufacturer technical support as applicable to each individual

sUAS.I. 14 CFR §91. 109: Flight Instruction

Superior Perception respectfully requests an exemption for 14 C. F. R. §91. 109 which mandates that no person m ay operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. UASs are remotely piloted aircraft and by their design do not have fully functional dual control s. Right control is accomplished through the use of a single control box that communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. Tyrmata proposes that training be conducted with the instructor pilot within arms length of the

trainee and that the sU AS be placed on its available training mode until the instructor pilot is confident that the trainee is ready to fly in normal flight mode.

Equivalent Level of Safety is provided by the fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in the air craft, by the small size and slow speed of the aircraft, and by the designated and confined area of operation of the aircraft. Additionally

, the instructor pilot shall be at a distance to quickly assume the controls as necessary.

VI. PUBLIC INTEREST

Granting Tyrmata an exemption will further the public interest by enhancing safety and improving industry through reduced cost and improved quality. Conventional commercial aerial photography and cinematography use turbo

- jet or piston powered aircraft whi ch carry large amounts of combustible fuel, weight over 3000 lbs, and

must be in

- flight ferried to and from location of operation. Therefore, when operated at low altitudes, they pose a significantly greater risk to crew, and persons and property below in addition to being costly to operate and very limited in their capabilities. Tyrmata’s sUASs carry no combustible fuel, weigh less than 55 lbs, are much more maneuverable, and are inexpensive to operate. These characteristics allow Tyrmata to offer the s ame service at significantly reduced risk, reduced cost, and improved quality over the use of conventional manned aircraft. In addition, UASs are not required to be in

- flight ferried to and from location therebyeliminating the associated additional cost to the client and eliminating additional risk to crew, persons, and property. For these stated reasons, it is clear that allowing the specified commercial operation of sUASs as described is ultimately in the best interest of the public.

VII. Federal Registry Summary Pursuant to 14 CFR Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed:

Tyrmata, Inc. seeks an exemption from the following regulations:

14 CFR §6l. l13(a)&(b), 14 CFR Part 21 Subpart H, §91. 203(a)(l), 14 CFR §45. 23(b), 14 CFR §91. 203(a)(2), §91. 9(b)(2), 14 CFR §91. 119, 14 CFR §91. 121, 14 CFR §91. 15l(a), 14 CFR §91. 405(a), §91. 407(a)(l), §9l. 409(a) (2); §91. 417(a)&(b), 14 CFR §91. 109

App roval of this exemption would permit commercial operation by Tyrmata, which will utilize sUASs for flight training, aerial photography, videography, digital imagery, and data acquisition to be used specifically for closed

- set motion picture and television filming, journalism and news gathering, special events, real estate, precision agriculture, environmental management, scientific analysis, and for inspection of land, structures, and construction projects.

VIII. Conclusion

The approval of the requeste d exemption herein is in the public interest because allowing the specified commercial operation of sUASs as described will ultimately reduce risk, reduce cost, improve quality, and promote industry growth all while maintaining at least an equivalent level of safety to that of the operation of conventional manned aircraft. Additionally, the grant of the requested exemption will alleviate undue burden from the specified FAA regulations that were created outside the scope of sUAS operation and thereby

unnece ssary for the safety of such operation.Considering the equivalent level of safety surrounding the proposed operations, the significant public benefit, and the potential to promote industry growth, Tyrmata submits that the exemption

herein fulfills all statute criteria set forth in Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and respectfully request approval without delay.
