Re: Section 333 Exemption No. 12203 // Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-1876

Mr. Duncan, 

Heli Watch is petitioning for two amendments to the Section 333 Exemption granted to 

us on July 28, 2015. 

1. Heli Watch requests that Limitation #2, prohibiting the use of UAS for closed-set 

motion picture and television filming, be waived. The Heli Watch Motion Picture and 

Television Operations Manual (MPTOM) will be provided under separate cover, as it 

contains proprietary information. Heli Watch will also comply with the conditions set 

forth in items 29, 30 and 31 found on page 7 of our exemption. 

2. Heli Watch requests the addition of the DJI Inspire X5R QuadCopter and DJI S1000+ 

small UAS. The X5R and S1000+ are significantly similar to the small UAS approved 

in our exemption and compiles with maximum weight, airspeed, GPS signal loss 

safeguards and other requirements set forth in the Section 333 Exemption we 

received. For reference, technical specifications of X5R and S1000+ UAS are 

attached. 

Thank you in advance for your consideration. 

Best regards, 

Ralph Rebaya
