Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) 

and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, David Warren Peake, developer and operator of Small Unmanned 

Aircraft Systems (sUASs), equipped to conduct aerial photography for real-estate advertisement 

and general landscape photography, hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal 

Aviation Regulations ("FARs") to allow commercial operation of his sUASs, so long as such 

operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be 

established by the FAA as required by Section 333. 

The applicant is in fact an FAA licensed private pilot - Airplane Single Engine Land rating — 

Certificate # 3437559 with an impeccable record in Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The 

requested exemption would permit the operation of small, unmanned and relatively inexpensive 

sUAS under controlled conditions in airspace that is 1) limited 2) predetermined 3) controlled as 

to access and 4) would provide safety enhancements to the already safe environment of aerial 

photography for the purposes of real-estate advertisement and general landscape photography 

using conventional aircraft. The operator in fact will predominately operate the sUAS at or 

below 200 feet above ground level (agl). Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance 

safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation's (the FAA Administrator's) responsibilities to 

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

airspace system." Section 333(c) of the Reform Act. 

The name and address of the applicant is:

14 CFR 417 (a) & (b) 

This exemption application is expressly submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 

333(a) through (c) of the Reform Act. This law directs the Secretary of Transportation to 

consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace 

system (NAS) before completion of the rulemaking required under Section 332 of the Reform 

Act. In making this determination, the Secretary is required to determine which types of UASs 

do not create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public or pose a threat to national security in 

light of the following: 

• 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. 

Reform Act § 333 (a). Lastly, if the Secretary determines that such vehicles "may operate safely 

in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish reguirements for the safe 

operation of such aircraft in the national airspace system." Id. §333(c) (emphasis added)2. 

2Applicant interprets this provision to place the duty on the Administrator to not only process 

applications for exemptions under section 333, but for the Administrator to craft conditions for 

the safe operation of the UAS, if it should be determined that the conditions set forth herein do 

not fulfill the statutory requirements for approval. 

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 of the Act, that includes sUASs, from the requirement that a11 civil aircraft must have a 

current airworthiness certificate. 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2400 T: (202) 842-7800 F: (202) 842-7899 — 2 

Applicant - David W Peake 
The Administrator may grant an exemption from a requirement of a regulation prescribed under 

subsection (a) or (b) of this section or any sections 44702-44716 of this title if the Administrator 

finds the exemption in the public interest. 49 U.S.C. §44701(f) See also 49 USC §44711(a); 49 

USC §44704; 14 CFR §91.203 (a) (1). 

David Warren Peake's sUASs are rotorcraft, weighting 55 or fewer Ibs. including payload. They 

operate, under normal conditions at a speed of no rnore than 50 knots and have the capability to 

hover, and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. They will operate only in 

line of sight and will operate only within the safety of GPS mode and strictly follow the 

Operations Manual, attached as Exhibit 1(hereinafter "the Manual"). Such operations will insure 

that the sUAS will "not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public." 

Given the small size of the sUASs involved and the safe environment within which they will 

operate, the applicant falls squarely within that zone of safety (an equivalent level of safety) in 

which Congress envisioned that the FAA must, by exemption, allow commercial operations of 

UASs to commence immediately. Also due to the size of the UASs and the restricted areas in 

which the relevant sUASs will operate, approval of the application presents no national security 

issue. Given the clear direction in Section 333 of the Reform Act, the authority contained in the 

Federal Aviation Act, as amended; the strong equivalent level of safety surrounding the 

proposed operations, and the significant pubiic benefit, including enhanced safety, reduction in 

environmental impacts, including reduced emissions associated with allowing UASs for real 

estate advertisement and general landscape photography, the grant of the requested 

exemptions is in the public interest. Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests that the FAA 

grant the requested exemption without delay. 

AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

The applicant 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 equivalent 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 

real estate and general landscape photography operations conducted with conventional aircraft. 

These limitations and conditions to which David Warren Peake agrees to be bound when 

conducting commercial operations under an FAA issued exemption include: 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, 5uite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2400 T: (202) 842-7800 F: (202) 842-7899 — 3 

Applicant - David W Peake 
1. The sUAS wiil weigh less than 55 Ibs. 

2. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the pilot David Warren Peake and/or observer. 

3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be 20 minutes. Flights will be 

terminated at 25°lo battery power reserve should that occur prior to the 20 minute limit. 

4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL or, not more than 200 

feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned. A majority of operations will be 

conducted less than 200 ft AGL. 

5. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUAS Pilot, the Visual Observer. 

6. The sUAS pilot is an FAA licensed airman with at least a private pilot's certificate and third 

class medical. The observer will hold at least a third class medical. 

7. sUAS Pilot will be Pilot in Command (PIC). If a pilot certificate holder other than the sUAS 

Pilot, who possess the necessary PIC qualifications, is also present on sight (i.e. the Aerial 

Coordinator), that person can also be designated as PIC. 

8. The UAS will only operate within a recommended specification as defined in the Manual and 

use the sUAS checklist, attached as Exhibit 2, (hereinafter "the checklist") 

9. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned sUAS operations prior to each day's 

production activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties within 

the boundaries of the operation be present for this briefing. 

10. Pilot and observer will have been trained in operation of UAS generally and received up-todate information on the particular UAS to be operated. 

11. Observer and pilot will at all times be able to communicate by voice and/or text. 

12. Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will be obtained. 

13. AII required permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, county or city 

jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies. 

14. If the sUAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAS will have capability to 

return to a pre-determined location within the operational area and land. 

15. The sUAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies.

Applicant - David W Peake 
14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1) 

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

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

limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, 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. In ali cases, an analysis of 

these criteria demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the 

restricted environment and under the conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than 

a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate 

without the restrictions and conditions proposed. 

The sUAS to be operated hereunder is less than 55 Ibs. fully loaded, carries neither a pilot nor 

passenger, carries no explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusively 

within a secured area as set out in the Manual. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations under this 

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

Manual's requirements, and under the requirements and in compliance with local public safety 

requirements, to provide security for the area of operation as is now done with conventional 

filming. The FAA will have advance notice of all operations. These safety enhancements, which 

already apply to civil aircraft operated in connection with motion picture and television 

production, provide a greater degree of safety to the public and property owners than 

conventional operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. Part 

21, Subpart H. Lastly, apptication of these same criteria demonstrates that there is no credible 

threat to national security posed by the UAS, due to its size, speed of operation, location of 

operation, lack of explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry a 

substantial externat load. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft 

The regulation requires: 

When marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed 

on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated 

aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, 

or pitot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited," 

"restricted," "light-sport," "experimental," or "provisional," as applicable. 

Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as 

the UAS will have no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2400 T: (202) 842-7800 F: (202) 842-7899 — J r

Applicant - David W Peake 
"Experimental" can be placed. Given the size of the sUAV, two-inch lettering will be impossible. 

The word "ExperimentaP' will be placed on the fuselage in compliance with §45.29 (f}. 

The equivalent level of safety will be provided by having the sUAV marked on its fuselage as 

required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working with the sUAV will see the 

identification of the UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has issued the folfowing exemptions to this 

regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 10167A. 

14 C.F.R. § 61.113 (a) &(b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command. 

Sections 61.113 (a) &(b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Because the UAS 

will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level of 

safety of current operations by requiring the PIC operating the aircraft to have a private pilot's 

license rather than a commercial pilot's license to operate this small UAS. Unlike a conventional 

aircraft that carries the pitot and passengers, the sUAS is remotely controlled with no living thing 

on board. The area of operation is controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and 

coordinated in advance as set forth in the Manual. The level of safety provided by the 

requirements included in the Manual exceeds that provided by a single individual holding a 

commercial pilot's certificate operating a conventional aircraft. The risks associated with the 

operation of the sUAS are so diminished from the level of risk associated with commercial 

operations contemplated by Part 61 when drafted, that allowing operations of the sUAS as 

requested with a private pilot as the PIC exceeds the present level of safety achieved by 14 

C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b). 

14 C.F.R. §91.7(a): Civil aircraft airworthiness. 

The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy 

condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this 

exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. 

Given the size of the aircraft and the requirements contained in the Manual for maintenance and 

use of safety check lists prior to each flight, as set forth in Sections J, L and 0, an equivalent 

level of safety will be provided. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. 

Section 91.9 (b) (2) provides: 

No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft ... 

(2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, 

unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, 

approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2400 T: (202) 842-7800 F: (202) 842-7899 — 6 

Applicant - David W Peake 
The sUAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a flight manual 

on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is no room or 

capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. 

The equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground 

control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to it. The FAA has 

issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 

9299A, 9565, 956513, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 32827, and 10700. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight action 

This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the 

safety of flight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft an 

exemption will be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be provided by the use of the 

checklist. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, 

landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight. 

14 C.F.R. §91.109: Flight instruction: 

Section 91.103 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free 

balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual 

controls. sUASs and remoteiy piloted aircraft, by their design do not have fully functional dual 

controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that communicates with 

the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training 

without fully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft and for flight instruction in 

experimental aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K & 9862A. The equivalent level of safety 

provided by the fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and by the 

size and speed of the aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum safe altitudes 

Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows 

helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating 

the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. As this 

exemption is for a sUAS that is a helicopter and the exemption requests authority to operate at 

altitudes up to 400 AGL, or not more than 200 above an elevated platform from which filming is 

planned, an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As set forth herein, except for 

the limited conditions stated in the Manual, the UAS will never operate at higher than 400 AGL. 

It will however be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, where buildings and 

people will not be exposed to operations without their pre-obtained consent. 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2400 T: (202) 842-7800 F: (202) 842-7899 — 7 

Applicant - David W Peake 
The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, speed of the UAS as well 

as the location where it is operated. No flight will be taken without the permission of the property 

owner or local officials. Because of the advance notice to the property owner and participants in 

the filming activity, all affected individuals will be aware of the planned flight operations. 

Compared to flight operat[ons with aircraft or rotorcraft weighting far more than the maximum 

551bs. proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations 

is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 

AGL in the real estate advertising and general landscape photography industry. In addition, the 

low-altitude operations of the sUAS will ensure separation between these small-UAS operations 

and the operations of conventional aircraft that must compiy with Section 91.119. 

14 C.F.R. §91.121 Altimeter Seftings 

This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by 

reference to an altimeter that is set "...to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate 

altimeter setting avaitable before departure." As the sUAS may not have a barometric altimeter, 

but instead a GPS altitude read out, an exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safety 

will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the Manual and Safety Check list, confirming the 

altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. 

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

Section 91.151 (a) 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 battery powering the sUAS provides approximately 25 minutes of powered flight. To meet 

the 30 minute reserve requirement in 14 CFR §91.151, sUAS flights would be limited to 

approximately 5 minutes in length. Given the limitations on the UAS's proposed flight area and 

the location of its proposed operations within a predetermined area, a longer time frame for 

flight in daylight or night VFR conditions is reasonable. 

Applicant believes that an exemption from 14 CFR §91.151(a) falls within the scope of prior 

exemptions. See Exemption 10673 (allowing Lockheed Martin Corporation to operate without 

compliance with FAR 91.151 (a)). Operating the small UAS, in a tightly controlled area where 

only people and property owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be 

allowed, with less than 30 minutes of reserve fuel, does not engender the type of risks that 

Section 91.151(a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed of the small UAS. 

Additionally, limiting sUAS flights to 5 minutes would greatly reduce the utility for which the 

exemption will be granted. 

Applicant believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 20 

minutes or 25% of battery power whichever happens first. This restriction would be more 

1299 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004-2400 T: (202) 842-7800 F: (202) 842-7899 — $ 

Applicant - David W Peake 
than adequate to return the sUAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited 

operating area. 

Sirnilar exemptions have been granted to other operations, inctuding Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 

10673, and 10808. 

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration 

The regulation provides in pertinent part: 

(a) Except as provided in § 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it 

the following: 

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate. ... 

(b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by 

paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is dispiayed 

at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. 

The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 55 Ibs and is operated without an onboard pilot. As 

such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents or to display 

them on the sUAS. 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control 

point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to them, to the extent they are 

applicable to the sUAS. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A 

represenfiative sample of other exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 

9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 10700. 

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

These regulations require 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) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this 

chapter...," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. 

Given that these section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, 

these sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accompiished by the operator 

pursuant to the flight manual and operating handbook as referenced in the Manual. An 

equivalent level of safety will be achieved because these small UASs are very limited in size 

and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods of time. If 

mechanicai issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higher 

than 400 feet AGL. As provided in the Manual, the operator will ensure that the UAS is in 

working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any 

maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person most

Applicant - David W Peake 
familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to 

provide the equivalent level of safety. 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal 

Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: 

Applicant seeks an exemption from the following rules: 

14 C.F.R. §21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R 45.23(b);14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113( a) &(b);91.7 (a); 91.9 (b) 

(2);91.103(b);91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a);91.203(a) and (b); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 

91.409 (a) (2); 91.409 (a) (2) and 91.417 (a) &(b) to operate commercially a small unmanned 

vehicle (551bs or less) in real estate advertisement and general landscape photography 

operations. Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operations of sUASs in the real estate 

advertisement and general landscape photography industry will enhance safety by reducing 

risk. Conventional operations, using jet or piston power aircraft, operate at extremely low 

altitudes just feet from the real estate and landscape being filmed and in extreme proximity to 

people and structures; and present the risks associated with vehicles that weigh in the 

neighborhood of 4,000Ibs., carrying large amounts of jet A or other fuel (140 gallons for jet 

helicopters shown below). Such aircraft must fly to and from the film location. In contrast, a 

sUAS weighing fewer than 55 Ibs. and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all of that risk 

given the reduced mass and lack of combustible fuel carried on board. The sUAS is carried to 

the the location and not flown. The sUAS wiA carry no passengers or crew and, therefore, will 

not expose them to the risks associated with manned aircraft flights. 

The operation of small UASs, weighting less than 551bs., conducted in the strict conditions 

outlined above, will provide an equivalent level of safety supporting the grant of the exemptions 

requested herein, including exempting the applicant from the requirements of Part 21 and 

allowing commercial operations. These lightweight aircraft operate at slow speeds, close to the 

ground, and in a sterile environment and, as a result, are far safer than conventionai operations 

conducted with turbine helicopters operating in close proximity to the ground and people. 

Privacy 

AII flights will occur over private or controlled access property with the property owner's prior 

consent and knowledge. 

Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012--size, weight, 

speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within 

visual line of sight and national security — provide more than adequate justification for the grant 

of the requested exemptions allowing commercial operation of applicant's UAS in the real estate 

advertisement and general landscape photogray industry pursuant to the Manual appended 

hereto. 

Sincerely,
