Los Angeles, CA 90025

Dear Mr. Robey :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our

decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption,

including the date it ends.

By letter dated June 18, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on

behalf of Drone Ad Sales, LLC ( hereinafter petitioner or operator ) for an exemption . The

petitioner requested to operate an unmanned ai rcraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial

photography , video, and survey for various marketing industries.

.

See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA des cribing the proposed operations and

the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition

in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, a nd any

delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

.

Airworthiness Certification

The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a DJI Inspire 1

.

# 2

The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products

and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria

provided in Section 333 of P ublic Law 112

− 95 in reference to 49 U

. S

. C

. § 44704, and in

consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the

aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft

meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from

14 CFR part 21

, C ertification procedures for pr oducts and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness

Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is

not necessary.

The Basis for Our Decision

You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection 1



# . The FAA has issued grants of

exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition.

In Grants of Exemption No s

. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352),

11109 to Clayco, Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA

− 2014

− 0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Lab s , Inc. ( see Docket No.
FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned

aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the pe titioner and carrying no passengers or

crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in

addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled

by this exemption is in the public interest.

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of

Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 ;

 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and

11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

 A grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision

In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701,

delegated to me by the Administrator, Drone Ad Sales, LLC is granted an exemption from

14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c),

91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to

grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI Inspire 1 when

weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any oth er aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption

.

2. Operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming are not permitted.

3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The

exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine

compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at

airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the

ai rcraft manufacturer.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level

(AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL.

5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times.

This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than
corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

- issued airman medical certificate or

U.S. driver’s license.

6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated w ithin

the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used

to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS

capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times ;

e lectronic me ssaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC

must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the

duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties

required of the V O.

government . The PIC must also meet the flight revi ew requirements specified in

14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

# 5

14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the

ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be

operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and

maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC

qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with

14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs

(traini ng, proficiency, and experience

- building) and determining the PIC’s ability to

safely operate the UAS in a m anner consistent with how the UAS will be operated

under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However,

training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During

traini ng, proficiency, and experience

- b uilding flights, all persons not essential for

flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA

with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.

15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All

operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights

under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.

management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption

holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available

to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

17. The UA may not be opera ted 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.

18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS sign al, the UA must return to a

pre

- determined location within th e pr ivate or controlled

- access property.

19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast

weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the

intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve

power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.

21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All

operations shall be cond ucted in accordance with an ATO

- issued COA. The

exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct

operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA

.

# 6

22. All aircraft operated in accord ance with this exemption must be identified by serial

number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification
(N− Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must

persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that suffi ciently 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 protectio n and are within 500 feet of

the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety

of nonparticipating persons ; and

b. 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 determined that it does not

present an undue hazard.

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") and 14 C.P.R. Part 11, Drone Ad Sales, LLC (Operator)

seeks an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to allow

commercial operations of their UASs (Unmanned Aerial Systems) for the

purpose of conducting aerial photography, video, and survey for various
marketing industries.



# [Ugarding, the Unmanned Aircraft Svstems

1. The requested exemption would support an application for a

commercial Certificate of Authorization (COA) to use the below described

UAS, so long as operations are conducted within and under the conditions

outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section

333. Like the FAA, it is the Operator's mission to provide the safest and most

efficient means of Civil Commercial implementation into the National Airspace
System (NAS). Furthermore, the Operator is comprised of members with the
equivalent of a FAA Commercial Certificate or higher adding an additional
layer of high regard for safe operations as well as the necessary high-level of understanding of the NAS and FARs.

# Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft PIC

4. Operator proposes to operate its UASs with a pilot holding, at a minimum, a private pilot certificate.

• The UAS PIC will be trained in advance for the safe operation of the

UAS to be operated. This will include operation of the UAS both in

normal and emergency modes of operation, and will include

familiarization with the user manual published by the UAS manufacturer.
Training will also include types of maneuvers to be performed and the

safe operation in relation to persons, property and applicable airspace.

• The PIC must have accumulated a minimum of 

# 100 flight cycles and 

# 25

hours of total time as a UAS pilot and at least 10 hours logged as a UAS 's
pilot with a similar UAS type.

• All operations must utilize Visual Observers (VOs). VOs who are not pilots will attend ground training to understand the roles of an observer,

communication procedures, and proper visual scan techniques, operations

at non-towered airports, and appropriate sections of the Aeronautical

Information Manual.

# 5. The PIC must possess at least a third-class airman medical certificate

for all of petitioner's flight operations.



# Regarding the Operation of the Unmanned AircrafJ.

6. Operator proposes Civil Commercial operation of an UAS to operate in

the following manner:

• Aerial photography and/or video for public and/or private use including real estate, architecture, land surveying, engineering and

other related professional commercial marketing activities.

• Aerial video and/or photography for public and/or private use including television, public events, cinematography and news gathering.

• Aerial inspection/photography of residential/commercial

structures under contract with the owners or local government authority.

• Aerial inspection/photography of residential/commercial utility

infrastructure including but not limited to electrical power lines,

wind turbines and cell towers.

• Aerial video/photography or providing live video feed (so as long

as all other parameters are met contained herein) to assist with

search and rescue operations in cases of an emergency or natural

disaster only when the local authorities or government has requested

it by contract or donation.



# jf3

# • The ability to offer training to persons individually or belonging

to both private and/or public organizations that have interests in the

use and application of a UAS for the purpose of the safe operation

of a UAS to enhance the safety of the National Airspace System

(NAS) as well as for the protection of the persons and property.

• For additional operator adherence:

o Reference-Inspire 1 Safety Guidelines v 1.0

7. The UAS may not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 29

knots (15 m/s). The UAS must be operated at an altitude of no more
than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). 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. UAS operations may not be conducted during
night, as defined in 14 CFR § 

# 1.1.

All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological

conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are

not authorized.

• A briefing will be performed regarding the planned UAS operations

prior to each day's flight consisting of all the days' production activities.

• Flights will be terminated at 20% battery power.

# 8. As described fully above, the requested exemption would permit the operation of an UAS under controlled conditions in the NAS that would

be a) limited b) controlled c) predetermined and d) will provide safety

enhancements to the already safe operations in the industry presently using conventional aircraft. 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."

Given the small size of the UAS and the controlled environment provided, the proposed operations will adhere to the Reform Act's safety requirements. The approval of this application presents no national security issues. Regarding the

level of safety surrounding the proposed operations and the public benefit,

reduction in environmental impacts, including but not limited to reduced

emissions and noise, the grant of the requested exemption is in the public

interest.

9. The UAS may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless a letter

of agreement with the airport's management is obtained, and the operation is

conducted in accordance with a Notice to Airmen (NOT AM), as required by

the operator's COA.

10. The UAS must be operated within the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the

PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement

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

be able to communicate verbally at all times. Electronic messaging or texting is

not permitted during flight operations.

# 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 CFR § 

# 91.203
(a)(1)



# Based on the limited size, weight, operating conditions, design safety features,

and the imposed conditions and limitations, Operator has demonstrated that its operations would not adversely affect safety compared to similar operations

conducted with aircraft that have been issued an airworthiness certificate under

14 CFR part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, as the FAA found for Astraeus Aerial, Exemption 11062, the requested relief from 14 CFR Part 21, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not

necessary.



# 14 CFR § 

# 45.23 (b)

- Display of marks

Since Operator's UAS has no entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station on which the markings can be placed, two inch lettering will be impossible.

Official marking systems for small UAS have not yet been established for operations inside the NAS.

Operator is prepared to mark the UAS with the name of the organization and

location nor origin and fulfill any other request by the FAA to this topic in

accordance with 45.29 (f) 

# where the pilot, observer, and others working with

the sUAS will see the identification of the sUAS. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation, see Exemption Nos. 8738, 10167,

10167A and 10700.



# 14 CFR § 

# 61.113 (a) & 

# (b)- Private pilot privileges and limitations

This regulation provides:

(a) This regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate

may act as pilot in command of an aircraft for compensation or hire.

# (b) This allows a private pilot to act as pilot in command of an aircraft in

connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental

to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers

or property for compensation or hire.

All the requirements of a private pilot certificate will prepare the UAS operator

for the environment that they will be operating in.

*Please reference Grant of Exemption No. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (Astraeus),

the FAA determined that a PIC with a private pilot certificate operating a UAS

would not adversely affect operations in the NAS or present a hazard to

persons or property on the ground.



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.7 (a) & (b)- Civil aircraft airworthiness

This regulation provides:

(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition.

(b) The pilot in command of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining

whether that aircraft is in condition for safe flight. The pilot in command shall

discontinue the flight when unairworthy mechanical, electrical, or structural

conditions occur.

While the operator's UAS will not require an airworthiness certificate, operator

is required to ensure that its aircraft is in an airworthy condition

- based on compliance with the operating documents prior to every flight. As previously

determined with Astraeus Aerial, Exemption 11062, relevant materials may be
kept in a location accessible to the PIC in compliance with the regulations.



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.9 (b)(2)- Civil Aircraft Flight Manual, marking, and placard
requirements

# 14 CFR § 

# 91.203 (a) & 

# (b)- Civil aircraft: Certifications required

As previously determined with Astraeus Aerial, Exemption 11062, relief from

these sections are not necessary. Relevant materials may be kept in a location

accessible to the PIC in compliance with the regulations.



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.109- Flight instruction: Simulated instrument flight and

certain flight tests

This regulation provides that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is
being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual

controls."

The controls for a UAS do not currently have a set of fully functioning dual

controls. If a UAS's pilot is being trained, the pilot performing the training

would be directly supervising and could take over the controls from the pilot in
training if the need arose. This would be similar to the technique of a "throwover type" control wheel in some fixed wing aircraft. We feel that this
technique meets the intent 91 .109 and provides an equivalent level of safety.



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.119- Minimum safe altitudes

This regulation provides that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot

be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

Since the typical mission of this UAS would be photography or survey of

persons, vessels, vehicles or structures it would be necessary to operate closer

than 500 feet to the items listed. Operations will only be flown over property or

persons where permission has been obtained, and careful pre-planning has been
performed. Further, UAS aircraft operate at a very slow airspeed, and a low

mass, and do not need as much space to operate safely, as outlined in 91.119.

We believe the slower speed, smaller mass and careful pre-planning would
provide an equivalent level of safety. Furthermore, Operator can place barriers

and/or structures to sufficiently protect nonparticipating person from the UA or

debris in the event of an accident.

# 14 CFR § 

# 91.121- Altimeter settings

This regulation provides that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by

reference to an altimeter setting available within 100 nautical miles of the

aircraft.

The UAS will normally 

# be flying close to the ground, and in line of sight of the

PIC or an observer. This line of sight operation will provide separation from

other aircraft, obstructions and terrain providing an equivalent level of safety. Additionally, the altitude information generated by onboard GPS equipment

installed on the aircraft will aid in estimating the altitude.



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.151- Fuel requirements for Hight in VFR conditions

This regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day- VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of

intended landing and to fly after that for at least 30 minutes. We feel the

intention of this paragraph it to provide a reasonable reserve of energy to plan

for a safe landing should there be a delay in landing. Given the close proximity

to the ground station, the ability for the UAS to land in a very small space and

the built in energy level monitoring of the UAS there is a resulting equivalent

level of safety if the flight is planned to be completed with 20% battery energy remaining. We request an exemption to the word "fuel" and ask for an equivalent interpretation with the word "energy".



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.205 (b)- 

# Powered civil aircraft with standard category U.S.

airworthiness certificates: Instrument and equipment requirements

Since the Operator's UAS does not have a standard category U.S. airworthiness

certificate, relief from 14 CFR § 

# 91.205 is not necessary.

# 14 CFR § 

# 91.215- ATC transponder and altitude reporting equipment and

use

Section 91.215 (b )(3) includes provision for aircraft not originally certificated

with an engine-driven electrical system or which has not subsequently been

certified with such a system installed. For UAS not equipped with a transponder, sub-paragraph (d)(3) authorizes requests for ATC authorized

deviations made to the ATC facility having jurisdiction over the concerned airspace within the time periods specified. For operation of an aircraft that is

not equipped with a transponder, the request must be made at least one hour

before the proposed operation.



# 14 CFR § 

# 91.401-91.417- Maintenance, preventive maintenance, and

alterations

This regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with
