a pproximately

6.5 pounds. The Inspire is also equipped with four motors that are powered by rechargeable batteries. The Inspire is also equipped with a camera with capabilities to capture video and still photographs. This UAS has a maximum speed of 22 Kts. I am also requesting exemption to be inclusive of any newer technologies that become available.Richard B.Prevatt, a current private pilot, will be the PI C for the UAS aforementioned. Iam

respectfull y requesting exemption for a Visual Observer and Assistant, as needed, to the PIC. I will be providing a professional service to include but not limited to the following:

1.) Real Estate: Residential & Commercial 2.) Land Management / Land Surveying for public/ private / commercial use 3.) Marketing / Advertising for public / private / commercial use 4.) Agriculture for private / commercial use 5.) Special Events for public/ private / commercial use 6.) Economic Development & Tourism 7.)

Aerial Photograph y/Video and or live video feed for cases of Natural Disaster, States of Emergency , Search & Rescue assistance where requested and a pproved by

local authorities. 12.) Free Services to Non

- Profits and Community Org anizations

All such operations will be conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein as described by the FAA as required by Section 333. These operations will be conducted in a safe environment with all needed approvals. Iwill be conducting pre

- flight inspections of the UAS. I will be checking the weather via local and all available weather instruction . I will be checking and/or filing Notam and checking TFR’s. I will be utilizing strict maintenance protocols established by the manufacturer of the UAS. Iwill be creating a hard log book for hours flown and any maintenance done to the UAS. I will also be utilizing a Safety Officer when necessary. The UAS ’ that I will be flying contain on board built in safety mechanisms. They have onboard GPS systems and sensors which a lot for a more controll ed and safer flights. They will be set to fly

within a given distance and altitude which I will be using as a standard. I w ill only be flying line of site and maintaining full control at all times. Knowledge of use is imperative as a private pilot and as such I will be also using Know Before You Fl y.com to keep up to date in regards to No Fly Z ones, etc.

I believe there will be many b enefits to the public interest / community m ost of which are not even known yet. Free services to Non

- Profits and Community Organizations seem just the beginning. Teaching and speaking at Exchange Clubs and other venues will educate others about this new and exciting field. The use of unmanned aircraft instead of manned aircraft wi ll greatl y reduce levels of air and noise pollution and greatl y reduce the carbon footprint.

I appreciate and enjo y being a pilot and look forward to utilizing this new format to further m y knowledge of flight outside of the cockpit. Thank you for your time and consideration of my exemption request.

Best Regards, Richard B. Prevatt
