Dear Sir or Madam:

Please accept this letter as a supplement to the exemption request submitted by Professional 

Drone Imaging LLC (“PDI”). PDI’s exemption request is currently pending under

Docket Number FAA-2015-1977.

We are petitioning for exemption to enable Professional Drone Imaging LLC (PDI) to operate a 

series of UAS platforms that have been previously approved by exemption. Namely:

DJI Phantom 2 - Exemption 11398

DJI Phantom 2 Vision - Exemption 11310

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ - Exemption 11398

DJI Inspire - Exemption 11398

DJI S1000 - Exemption 11416

DJI S900 - Exemption 11401

Flamewheel 550 - Exemption 11397

eBee AG - Exemption 11339

3DRobotics IRIS+ - Exemption 11419

RF-70 - Exemption 11295

DJI Phantom 3 Professional - Similar to Exemption 11310

DJI Phantom 3 Advanced - Similar to Exemption 11398

These UAS all weigh less than 55 lbs, have a built- in capability to limit the height flown above 

the ground, to limit the radius of the distance it flies from the operator and to exclude it from Class B, C 

and D airspace including a no fly zone feature. Each system also has the failsafe function of the autopilot 

system, which means when the communication between the Main Controller and the transmitter is lost, 

the system will automatically trigger Return to Home and will land safely.
