RE: Exemption Request Under Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act and 14 CFR Part 11.81 ofthe 

Federal Aviation Regulations 

To whom it may concern, 

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

and 14 CFR Part 11.81, Premier Real Estate Services, a Real Estate Broker, hereby applies for an 

exemption from the listed Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") to allow them to operate a 

small Unmanned Aircraft System ("sUAS) under the conditions and limitations set forth in this 

Petition. 

The requested exemption would permit Premier Real Estate Services to operate the 1} DJI S 

Phantom 2 Vision+ and 2} DJI Phantom 3 advanced; primarily to conduct aerial photography 

and videography for homeowners, realtors, home builders, home contractors, and/or home 

inspectors for real estate marketing. 

Granting our request would help seller's market their home and show buyers the full picture of 

the property. Aerial photography is vastly becoming the norm for our area, and for our business 

we feel that it is necessary to offer those services to our clients in order to best represent them 

and compete in the market place. We would be knowledgeable of all rules and regulations. 

We would stay informed of changes to any policies and strictly adhere to them. 
Premier Real Estate Services states that all sUAS flights will occur over private or controlled 

access property will do so with the property owner's consent and knowledge and that only 

people who have consented or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where videography will 

take place.
