Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from 14 CFR 

Part 21; 91.7 (a); 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.405 (a); 91.407(a) (1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.417 (a) & (b).

To whom it may concern:

In accordance with Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (“Reform Act”) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, 

Sky View Pros, Inc. ("Sky View Pros"), professional operators of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UASs”) for the purpose of

aerial filming and photography for industrial surveys, motion pictures, short films, and commercial filming and/or 

photography, submits this exemption petition application. Sky View Pros seeks exemption from the aforementioned 

listed Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARS”) to permit the commercial operation of its UASs providing that the 

operations are conducted only according to that which is provided in this petition for exemption or as may be currently 

or in the future required by the FAA as found in Section 333, or any other applicable federal regulations.

As outlined below, our request for exemption would allow the operation of small unmanned aircraft systems under 

established preset conditions in the air that are 1) narrow in scope 2) pre-determined 3) conducted in access controlled

or unpopulated areas and 4) improve upon the safety of methods that would conventionally be used in commercial

aerial filming or photography operations (using a manned helicopter or airplane to capture aerial footage). Approval of 

this petition for exemption will improve safety and provide an opportunity for the Secretary of Transportation (the FAA 

Administrator’s) to accomplish their goal to as outlined in Section 333(c) of the Reform Act: “...establish requirements 

for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system.”

The name and address of the applicant is:

Sky View Pros, Inc.

President Orsolya Soos Zsigmond (info@skyviewpros.com, T: 917-547-7292)

806 Brighton Avenue

Staten Island, NY 10301

Additionally, the applicant will conduct all UAS operations under the direct control or supervision of an FAA certificated

airman. The airman's certificate numbers will be forwarded to support this petition in a confidential document via post

if requested by the FAA. The name and address of that airman is as follows:

Pilot Name: Anthony Caccamo

FAA Certificates held: Commercial Pilot: Airplane Single & Multiengine Land; Instrument Airplaine. BE-400 MU300 Type Ratings. Flight Instructor: Airplane Single Engine; Instrument Airplane.

Address: 806 Brighton Avenue Staten Island, NY 10301

Sky View Pros hereby requests an exemption from the following regulations:

● 14 CFR Part 21

● 14 C.F.R. 91.7 (a)

● 14 C.F. R. 91.119

● 14 C.F.R. 91.121

● 14 CFR 91.151 (a)

● 14 CFR 91.405 (a)

● 14 CFR 407 (a) (1)

● 14 CFR 409 (a) (2)

● 14 CFR 417 (a) & (b)
The Sky View Pros exemption application is intended to achieve Congress’ aims in passing Section333(a) - (c) of the 

reform act. The reform act instructs the Secretary of Transportation to give consideration to whether or not particular 

unmanned aircraft systems can successfully achieve sufficient safety measures for inclusion in the national airspace 

system (NAS). Such an exemption from the regulations will only serve as a temporary measure in anticipation of the 

fulfillment of the rulemaking requirement of Section 332 of the Reform Act. In consideration of the petition the 

secretary should consider which UASs are neither a danger to participants of the NAS or the public at large or present 

the potential to threaten the national security of the United States. These factors should be considered according to the 

Reform Act § 333 (a):

• 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.

If the Secretary decides that such vehicles “may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall 

establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft in the national airspace system.” Id. §333(c). Sky View Pros

believes the provisions found in section 333 of the Reform Act creates an obligation for the FAA to process applications 

for exemption and, if necessary, for the FAA to create standards for safe use if such standards proposed in this petition 

for exemption fail to meet statutory requirements for approval.

The authority for the FAA to issue such an exemption is expressly granted in The Federal Aviation Act. This statutory 

authority’s terms include an exemption for civil aircraft, as defined under §40101 of the Federal Aviation Act, and 

includes UASs, with the intent to exempt such from the mandate that every civil aircraft be required to possess a valid 

airworthiness certificate.

If the Administrator finds the exemption request in the public interest the Administrator may grant an exemption from 

requirements of the regulations promulgated under subsections (a) or (b) or sections 44702-44716 of this title. 49 U.S.C. 

§44701(f); See 49 USC §44711(a); 49 USC §44704; 14 CFR §91.203 (a) (1). 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).

Sky View Pros’ UASs are rotorcraft (multirotors) with a combined weight, including any necessary added film or 

photography equipment, of 55lbs or less. The UASs are capable of moving in vertical and lateral directions 

simultaneously. The UASs can also hover and will be restricted to speeds of no more than 45mph, limited by an 

experienced professional operator. UASs operations will always be conducted within the line of sight of the operator 

and will be limited to the confines of a properly secured area or unpopulated/remote area. For the definition of what 

constitutes a properly secured or unpopulated/remote area please see the Sky View Pros Operations Safety Manual;

attached as exhibit 1. This application for exemption strongly expresses that the structure and operations of these UASs 

will “not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public.” Reform Act 333 (b). All UAS operations 

conducted by Sky View Pros will be supervised or directly controlled by the experienced FAA certificated Commercial 

Pilot named earlier in this petition.

It is congress's intent that the FAA allow commercial UAS operations to begin immediately through the process of a 

granted exemption as long as the proposed operations satisfy the proper zone of safety. The limited size, intended cargo 

(filming equipment) and secure locality ensure there is zero national security threat stemming from granting approval of 

the operations of these particular UASs. The administrator should grant this application request because it carries out 

the intent of Section 333 of the Reform Act in addition to the authority of the Federal Aviation Act. The grant is in the 

best interests of the public because it limits harmful environmental factors and enhances the safety of both the public at 

large and filming industry workers. Applicants hereby request their application for exemption be considered and 

approved as soon as it can be processed.

AIRCRAFT CHARACTERISTICS AND SAFETY LEVEL EQUIVALENTS

The applicant seeks to have this exemption cover only civil aircraft as described therein this petition and subject to the 

limitations proposed within this petition or as should be found necessary by the FAA. Commercial motion picture
companies already safely operate conduct aerial operations using conventional manned helicopters or other manned 

civil aircraft to achieve many tasks that lighter and quieter unmanned UASs can accomplish with an equivalent or better 

level of safety. Sky View Pros proposes and agrees to the following limitations and conditions for UAS operations for the 

purpose of commercial filming and photography conducted under a granted FAA exemption:

1. The total combined weight of the UASs and attached equipment will weigh 55lbs or less.

2. At all times the pilot will operate the UAS in an unbroken visual line of sight (VLOS).

3. No flight operations will fly for more than 25 consecutive minutes without first landing and changing the batteries and 

conducting necessary safety checks.

4. Once the battery is at 25% the operator must begin return to ground procedures. The UASs are not permitted to 

operate below 20% battery.

5. Maximum flight altitude shall not exceed 400 feet AGL.

6. A minimum 2 man crew consisting of the UAS Pilot and Visual Observer, is required to conduct operations. When a 

Camera Operator is required, the minimum crew will increase to 3.

7. The UASs Pilot in Command (PIC) must have at least 25 documented hours operating UASs.

8. The PIC must have the requisite knowledge pertaining to the components required to build and maintain the

particular type of UASs type they are operating.

9. The PIC will have a Commercial Pilot’s certificate.

10. A PIC will not operate an UAS within 5 miles of the center of an airport without permission from the local FSDO and 

clearance from the control tower of the airport.

11. The PIC will have at least a third class medical.

12. UASs will only operate in a properly secured area, remote area, or pre-cleared area. Sky View Pros pre flight safety 

procedures require a secured perimeter as described in their Operations Safety Manual.

13. A mandatory briefing that all participating personnel (persons allowed into the filming perimeter) must attend in 

order to go over all pre flight safety issues and procedures for the day.

14. An FAA Form 7711-1, or an equivalent, modified as needed to fit the requested exemption, will be filed with the 

relevant Flight Standards District Office.

15. A UAS may not operate unless persons within 100ft of operations have consented to being in the secured area, as 

provided in the Sky View Pros Operations Safety Manual. With certain enhanced safety procedures the required radius 

may be reduced as low as 30ft as described in the manual. No smaller distance radius shall be allowed without the 

express approval of the relevant FSDO.

16. The relevant FSDO shall receive a written Activities Agenda at least 3 days before a proposed filming date.

17. At all operational times the pilot and observer will be able to maintain contact through voice communication.

18. Operations shall not be conducted in locations without the consent of the property owners.

19. Any necessary required permission and/or permits from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, local law

enforcement, fire department, or appropriate government agencies will be obtained accordingly.

20. In the case of emergency, loss of communications or other malfunction, the UASs are preset to be able to return to a 

pre specified location in a safe manner. The UASs can abort a flight in unexpected situations or other emergencies.

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1)

FAR §91.203 (a) (1) requires the establishment of a process for the granting of airworthiness certificates. The process for 

obtaining an airworthiness certificate is provided for in 14 C.F.R., Subpart H, titled Airworthiness Certificates. The small 

size of the UASs and limited perimeter of the secured operations area allow for an equivalent level of safety as outlined 

in Part 11 and Section 333 of the reform act. The FAA is permitted to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate 

requirement as outlined in The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. An 

exemption may be permitted after consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, distance from 

airports and number of persons near the areas of operation. A careful consideration of these factors makes it clear that 

UASs, lacking an airworthiness certificate, but, implementing the proposed conditions and restrictions, can operate just 

as safe if not safer than conventional aircraft with an airworthiness certificate.

The UASs weigh less than 55 lbs with a full payload and cannot carry a pilot or passengers. The UASs do not carry

petroleum based fuel or any other explosive or flammable liquids, and will only be operated within the secured zone as 

provided for in the Sky View Pros' safety manual. The petition for exemption will only allow for highly controlled and 

closely observed operations as described in the Sky View Pros' safety manual. The FAA will be informed in advance of 
the operations area and all local laws will be followed and abided by. Sky View Pros' UAS operations without an 

airworthiness certificate will be safer than any conventional aircraft operating with an airworthiness certificate because 

of the operational limitations and procedures provided for in this petition that are inapplicable to the latter. The UASs 

safety requirements are similar to requirements used in the media production industry for civilian aircraft and 

furthermore, all operations will be conducted under the direct supervision or control of an FAA certificated and highly 

experienced Commercial Pilot. The UASs operations do not pose a threat to the national security of the United States, or 

any locality found within or without the United States. The purpose of the operations of the UASs is to create footage 

and capture images for the film and media production industry and are not intended in any way for hostile acts. The 

size, speed, area of operations, absence of flammable gasoline or other combustible liquids and limitations on payload

weight present no credible threat to the United States of America.

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

A grant of exemption from 91.7 is needed because there will be no airworthiness certificate. The airworthy conditions 

will be determined according to the Sky View Pros' safety manual. The pre flight safety procedures found in the Sky View 

Pros' manual provides for an equivalent or higher level of safety. The PIC will be responsible for making sure the aircraft 

is airworthy before each flight.

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

Section 91.119 establishes the safe altitudes for operations of civil aircraft. This request for exemption asks for the 

submitted UASs to be permitted to operate at altitudes up to 400 feet AGL. All operations will occur in a pre secured 

area and all persons/property present will have given their informed consent. The location, size, weight and speed of the 

UASs provide for an equivalent or greater level of safety. Conventional aircraft flying below 500 AGL present a much 

larger risk to persons and property than small UASs operating at the same altitude. Risks to conventional aircraft that 

are not applicable to UASs include combustible fuel and large payloads as well as injury/loss of life of aircrew. The low 

operating altitude will create a buffer between UASs operating below 400 feet AGL and conventional aircraft operating 

above 500 AGL as required by Section 91.119. Section 91.119(c) provides that no aircraft shall operate within 500 AGL 

of any “person, vessel, vehicle or structure”. Due to the nature of the UASs operations in commercial filming and 

photography, we request filming operations be permitted from much closer distances. Filming will take place in 

accordance with pre flight safety procedures. The operations manual provides that all persons within 100ft must give 

their consent to be present and that such permission may be reduced to 30ft with enhanced safety procedures in place 

in addition to the mandatory safety briefing involving all persons including the PIC. Filming with UASs instead of manned 

helicopters provides an increased level of safety to the public and the crew working on the ground.

14 C.F.R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings

91.121 contains language requiring an aircraft to maintain an altimeter. The UASs do not have a traditional barometric 

altimeter and therefore an exemption may be needed. The UASs are, however, able to provide an equivalent level of 

safety through use of GPS based altitude reporting equipment. The GPS component installed on the UAS uses a 

communications telemetry data link to send real time altitude information to the PIC to effectively monitor safety and 

the flight path. Methods include GPS triangulation, digitally encoded barometric altimeter, radio altimeter or any 

combination. The GPS on the UAS transmits the appropriate data digitally to a ground readout which is visible to the PIC 

at all times PIC. Additionally, the PIC can and will set up the UASs to provide automatic electronic altitude limits that will 

not allow any UAS to be flown above 400 feet AGL.

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

Section 91.151 (a) disallows aircraft from flying without first having at least 30 minutes of fuel beyond their time to take 

off and land under normal conditions if its during the day and 45 minutes for night flights. Since the UASs can only 

operate for a maximum of 30-45mins before landing and replacing their batteries, an exemption may be needed. 

Allowing UAS operations until battery life has reached 20% of its full strength will ensure an equivalent level of safety 

compared to conventional aircraft operations with 30 minutes extra fuel. The UAS is set to automatically return to a pre 

determined, GPS directed landing spot in the case of emergency and this can be accomplished very quickly. 

Conventional aircraft have much less flexibility for landing than a small lightweight UAS.
14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections

These regulations are for conventional aircraft with an airworthiness certificate and are therefore incompatible with the 

operations of an UAS. Sky View Pros' UAS operators are the best suited people to perform maintenance on the UASs. 

This is because they have specialized knowledge regarding the components that a typical aviation inspector would lack. 

Sky View Pros' operators have experience in building UASs from scratch and will use this knowledge to maintain the 

production models mentioned in this petition. The size, payload, location restrictions and height limits allow for an 

equivalent level of safety. Maintenance shall be performed on a daily basis as required and a log of all maintenance 

activities kept for each different model in separate logbooks.

************************************

In accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 11, the summary below is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be 

determined that publication is warranted:

Applicant seeks an exemption from the following rules:

14 C.F.R. §21, subpart H; 91.7 (a); 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.409 (a) (2) and 

91.417 (a) & (b) to operate for commercial purposes small unmanned aerial systems (weighing less than 55lbs) for aerial 

filming and photography for industrial inspections, surveying, films, motion pictures, and commercial filming. Approval 

for this section 333 exemption will increase public safety and reduce the risk to personnel and property and property on 

the ground. Currently, most aerial filming is done using manned airplanes and helicopters. These aircraft weigh

thousands of pounds and require the use of combustible liquids (fuel) in order to operate. They also require aircrew 

members on board. In comparison, an Unmanned Aerial System can accomplish the same low level aerial 

filming/photography operations with an equivalent or better level of safety because they are lightweight, battery 

operated, and not equipped to carry persons into the National Airspace System.

The exemption should be granted to allow the commercial operation of Sky View Pros UASs under the strict conditions 

outlined above. The UASs are much slower than conventional aircraft and will be operated in a pre secured area, 

therefore, providing an equivalent or greater level of safety. The UASs pose a reduced risk to ground crew, and other 

persons/property on the ground when compared to conventional aircraft operating near persons and/or property. 

Additionally, Sky View Pros will conduct all UAS operations under the supervision/control of the Commercial pilot named 

in this request, thereby enhancing the safety of all flights.

Permission from property owners will be obtained prior to filming. UAV operations may not proceed unless persons 

proximate to the filming have been consented and are fully aware of the planned flight operations.

The UASs size, weight, speed, operating capabilities and proximity to airports and populated areas all satisfy Section333 

of the reform act. All operations occur within the visual line of sight of the operator and pose no threat to national 

security. Sky View Pros' kindly requests consideration to receive a Section 333 exemption grant to allow the commercial 

operation of Sky View Pros UASs in the commercial filming and photography industry in accordance with the conditions 

required, or as may be required, and in accordance with the rules and procedures found in the attached safety manual.

Sincerely,

Subject: Statement from FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot

I am adding this letter in support of the petition from Sky View Pros Inc. and to express my reasons for becoming 

involved in flying UASs with this company.

Short background: I hold a BS in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a minor in 

aviation safety and in addition to my FAA issued CMEL and CFII ratings I also have experience flying large jet cargo 

aircraft. I believe that my aviation experience will help me ensure the safe operations of lightweight UASs.

I've been flying and building multi-rotor aircraft for 3 1/2 years and in that time I have witnessed and taken part in the 

evolution of these new aircraft. It has come to the point where the technology has increased the capabilities of these 

aircraft so much that a novice operator unfamiliar with aviation, FARs, and the National Airspace System (NAS) has 

access to a flight envelope that in the past was only accessible to accomplished and seasoned model aircraft hobbyists. 

In the interest of public safety and the safety of full scale aircraft operating in the NAS; I believe it is important to have 

rated pilots like myself out there in the field conducting UAS flights with an aviation minded approach that is focused on 

preventing any incidents, accidents, or mishaps.

My primary mission with Sky View Pros is to conduct and supervise all UAS operations and do so with the safety of the 

public and that of full scale aircraft at the forefront of every flight undertaken. I believe my real world aviation 

experience will greatly contribute to the safety of UAS operations conducted by Sky View Pros Inc. and that I will help 

create a positive impact on this new sector of aviation and aviation business.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to conduct a phone interview or if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Sky View Pros Operations Safety Manual

Conduct of all UAS operations by Sky View Pros will prioritize the safety of full scale aircraft, persons and property on the ground, 

and ground crew personnel.

1. Sky View Pros will utilize only models named in this operations manual for UAS operations. Sky View Pros will operate the 

following UAS aircraft: a) DJI Phantom 2, b) DJI Phantom 3 Professional, c) DJI Inspire 1, d) DJI Spreading Wings S900, e) DJI 

Spreading Wings S1000 Series. All UASs will weigh less than 55 pounds, including payload.

2. All operations will occur at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level and at airspeeds of 45 miles per hour or less.

3. All UASs will be operated as directed by manufacturer guidelines, procedures, limitations, and specifications for the particular 

make and model of aircraft.

4. The UAS will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. The PIC will use human vision, unaided by any 

device other than corrective lenses or sunglasses, as specified on the PIC's FAA-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver's 

license.

5. All UAS operations will utilize a visual observer (VO). The UAS will be operated within VLOS of both the PIC and VO at all times. 

The PIC and VO must be able to communicate verbally at all times. The PIC will be designated before the flight and cannot transfer 

his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC is responsible for ensuring that the VO can perform the duties required 

of the VO.

6. All operating documents, including those issued by the FAA will be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the 

Administrator upon request. Sky View Pros will revise and update operating documents to reflect the latest manufacturer 

information regarding aircraft operating parameters and procedures as well as any information pertinent to the safety of flight.

7. Maintenance. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect UAS operation or flight characteristics must 

undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations. Functional test flights will only be conducted by a PIC with a 

VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test will be conducted in such a manner so as not to pose 

an undue hazard to persons or property. Sky View Pros will follow the UAS manufacturer's maintenance, overhaul, replacement,

inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. Sky View Pros will comply with all manufacturer 

safety bulletins.

8. Sky View Pros is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. Prior to 

each flight, the PIC will conduct a pre-flight inspection to determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre-flight inspection 

will account for all potential discrepancies and will follow all available manufacturer guidelines. If the inspection reveals that the 

UAS is not in a condition for safe flight, Sky View Pros will not operate the aircraft until the necessary maintenance has been 

performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight.

9. The PIC will hold a commercial pilot certificate and a current FAA airman medical certificate, or a valid U.S. driver's license issued 

by a state.

10. Sky View Pros will only conduct operations under visual meteorological conditions.

11. Sky View Pros will not conduct operations within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current 

FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD), or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the 

current FAA-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport's management is obtained or otherwise 

permitted by a COA issued to Sky View Pros. The letter of agreement must be made available to the administrator or any law 

enforcement official upon request.

12. Sky View Pros will not operate a UAS 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. 

13. Emergencies. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. If the UAS loses 

communications or it's GPS signal, the PIC will return the UAS to a pre-determined location within the private or controlled-access 

property. If the UAS suffers a flight malfunction which allows limited control effectiveness, the PIC will immediately land the UAS in 

a clear area so as not to cause any undue hazard to persons or property on the ground.
14. The PIC will not begin a flight (considering all factors to include wind and weather conditions) unless there is enough available 

power for the UAS to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least 3 minutes or with the reserve power 

recommended by the manufacturer.

15. The PIC will insure that the UAS remains clear of and gives way to all manned aviation operations and activities.

16. Sky View Pros will conduct all UAS flight operations at least 100 feet laterally and vertically from all non-participating persons, 

vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a) Barriers or structures are present and sufficiently protect non-participating persons from the UAS and/or debris in the 

event of an accident. Sky View Pros will ensure that non-participating persons remain under such protection. In this case 

the PIC will not operate any closer than 30 feet to protected non-participating persons. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 100 feet of the UAS, flight operations must cease immediately in 

manner ensuring the safety of non-participating 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 pose 

an undue hazard.

c) The PIC, VO, operator trainees, or essential persons are not considered non-participating persons.

17. All UAS operations shall be conducted over a private or controlled-access property with permission from the property 

owner/controller or other authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will 

be obtained for each flight to be conducted. UAS operations may also be conducted in non-privately owned areas (wilderness, 

remote areas, over water, public spaces where UAS operations are not prohibited) if all other safety requirements outlined in this 

manual are met.

18. Sky View Pros will create a secured area or perimeter when needed, to ensure that non-participating personnel do not enter a 

UAS operations area. The secured area or perimeter will be created with plainly visible markings such as tape or rope as well as 

signs which indicate "Drone Operations in Progress: KEEP BACK". If necessary, observers will be placed as needed to ensure people 

do not cross into the secured area unintentionally.
