past year and a half, I have logged hundreds of hours flying my DJI Phantom UASs as a hobbyist, (My

older UAS has been sold), with the main focus always being on the safety of those on the ground and in 

the air alike. I have participated in UAS safety courses and have collaborated with other online groups to 

spread the word on the proper use of UASs in the national airspace. I am very meticulous in maintaining 

my UAS and always perform pre-flight checks of conditions and equipment.

The objective of Pro-Formance Computers llc is to provide new and existing business clients with high 

quality imaging for a variety of commercial, public, and residential uses, specifically targeting:

Improving Local News and Community Outlets access to high quality aerial imagery.

As set forth herein, Pro-Formance Computers llc seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C.F.R. 11.61 and
