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

The regulation requires: Subpart	H,	entitled	Airworthiness	Certifi cates,	establishes	the	procedural	requirements	for	the	issuance	of airworthiness	certificates	as	r equired	by	FAR	§91.203	(a)	(1).

Applicant’s equivalent	level	of	safety : Given	the	size	and	limited	operating	area	associated	with	the	aircraft	to	be	utilized by	the	Applicant,	an	exemption from	Part	21	Subpart	H achieves an	equivalent	level	of	safety	under Part	11 and	Section	333	of	the	Reform	Act. The	Federal	Aviation	Act	(49	U.S.C.§44701	(f))	and	Section	333	of	the	Reform	Act	both	authorize	the	FAA	to determ ine	“...which	types	of	[UAS], as	a	result of	the ir size,	weight,	speed,	operational	capability,	and	proximity	to airports	and	populated	areas ,	and	operation	within	line	of	sight	do	not	create	a	hazard	to	users	of	the	national airspace	system	or	the	public	or pose	a	threat	to	national	security... ” Given	the	small	size,	stringent	procedures, and	controlled	areas	in	which	the	Applicant	intends	to	conduct UAS	operations ,	waiving	the	need for an airworthiness	certificate will not	impose	more	risk	than that realized by	a conventional	aircraft	operating	with	an airworthiness	certificate. The	listed UAS will	not	exceed 55	lbs. gross	weight

, will	carry neither pilot	nor	passenger, no	explosive	materials	or	flammable	liquid	fuels,	and will	operate exclusively	within	a d esignated, secured area. O perations	under	this	exemption	will	be	controlled	and	monitored	by	the	operator	and will	be in	compliance	with local	public	safety requirements. Lastly, there	is	no	threat	to	nat ional	security	posed	by	the	UAS due	to	its	size,

s peed	of	operation,	l ocale of	operation,	lack	of	explosive	materials	or	flammable	liquid	fuels,	and	inability	to	carry

a substantial	external	load.
14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft

The	regulation	requires: When	marks	include	only	the	Roman	ca pital	letter	"N"	and	the	registration	number	is	displayed	on	limited, restricted	or	light

- sport	category	aircraft	or	experimental	or	provisionally	certificated	aircraft,	the	operator	must also	display	on	that	aircraft	near	each	entrance	to	the	cabin,	cockp it,	or	pilot	station,	in	letters	not	less	than	2 inches	nor	more	than	6	inches	high,	the	words	"limited,"	"restricted,"	"light

- sport,"	"experimental,"	or "provisiona l,"	as	applicable.

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : Even	though	the	UAS	will	have	no airworthiness	certificate,	an	exemption	will	be	needed	as	the	UAS	will	have	no entrance	to	the	cabin,	cockpit	or	pilot	station	on	which	the	word	“Experimental”	can	be	placed. Given	the	size	of the	UAS,	two

- inch	lettering	will	be	impossible.	The	word	“Exp erimental”	will	be	placed	on	the	fuselage	in compliance	with	§45.29	(f). The	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	provided	by	having	the	UAS	marked	on	its fuselage	as	required	by	§45.29	(f)	where	the	pilot,	observer	and	others	working	with	the	UAS	will	see the identification	of	the	UAS	as “Experimental.”
14 C.F.R. § 61.113 (a) and (b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command.

The	regulation	requires:Pursuant	to	14	CFR	61.113	(a)	&	(b),	no	person	who	holds	a	private	pilot	certificate	may act	as	a	pilot	in	command of	an	aircraft	that	is	carrying	passengers	or	pro perty	for	compensation	or	hire.

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : An	equivalent	level	of	saf ety	can	be	achieved	by	current	r egulations since	the	applicant’s UAS carry neither occupants nor	property. In	this	case,	a	private	pilot	is	capable	of	managing	the	risk	associated	with	UA S	operations and	t he	operating limitations and	procedures outlined in	the	FOM are	ample to ensure safe	operation.
14 C.F.R. §91.7(a): Civil Aircraft A irworthiness.

The	regulation	requires:
N o	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	unles s	it	is	in	airworthy	condition.

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : No FAA	regulatory	standard s	currently exist	for	determining	airworthiness of	UA S

. Given	the small	s ize	of	the	UA S
, proper main tenance	and	use	of	check lists	prior	to	each	flight will	achieve an	equivalent	level	of	safety.
14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft.

The	regulation	requires: Section	91.9	(b)	(2)	provides: “ No person	may	operate	a	U.S.

- registered	civil	aircraft	...	(2)	For	which	an	Airplane	or Rotorcraft	Flight	Manual	is	not	required	by	§21.5	of	this	chapter,	unless	there	is	available	in	the	aircraft	a	current approved	airplane	or	Rotorcraft	Flight	Manual,	appr oved	manual	material,	markings,	and	placar ds,	or	any combination	thereof. ”

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : There	is	no	need	to	carry	an	Aircraft	Flight	Manual	onboard	an	unmanned	aircraft. An equivalent	level	of	safety will	be	maintained	by	keepin g	the	flight	manual	at	the	ground	control	point	where	the	pilot	flying	the	UAS	will	have immediate	access	to	it.
14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action.

The regulation	requires : E ach PIC	must take	certain	actions	before	flight	to	insure	the	safety	of fligh t.
Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : As	FAA

- approved	rotorcraft or	fixed

- wing flight	manuals	will	not	be	provided	for	the	aircraft

, an	exemption	will	be needed. The PIC	will	take	all	actions	stated	in the	pre

- flight	section	of	the manufacturer ’s	FOM ,	including

, but	not limited	to

, reviewing	weather and applicable aircraft	performance	data prior	to flight.
14 C.F.R. §91.109: Flight Instruction.

The	regulation	requires:
Section	91.103 stipulates that	no	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	(except	a	m anned	free	balloon)	that	is	being used	for	flight	instruction	unless	that	aircraft	has	fully functioning	dual	controls.

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : UAS	and	remotely	piloted	aircraft,	by	design ,	are	not	capable	of	dual	control

. Flight	control	i s	accomplished through	the	use	of	a remote	control that sends	flight	commands via	radio frequency communications. The	FAA	has approved	exemptions	for	flight	training in	several	aircraft	not	equipped with dual	controls and	the	applicant believes	that	an	eq uivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	maintained	by	adherence	to	SOP.
14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes.

The	regulation	requires: Section	91.119	establishes	safe	altitudes	for	operation	of	civil	aircraft. Section	91.119	(d)	allows	helicopters (in	our

case,	a UA S capable	of	similar

- to

- helicopter	performance) to	be	operated	at	less	than	the	minimums	prescribed, provided	the	person	operating	the	helicopter	complies	with	any	route	or	altitudes	prescri bed	for	helicopters	by	the
FAA.Applicant’s	equivalen t	level	of	safety : The	listed	aircraft	will be	operated in side a controlled area	with a defined perimeter.		Operators	will	have	written consent	of	all	personnel	within	the	controlled	area

. Flight	operations	will	be	conducted	at	a	safe	distance	from	all bu ildings	with	prior,	written consent	obtained	from	the	owner s	or other responsible	party. Flights	conducted	in the	low

- altitude	environment create	vertical	separation between	UA S and	conventional	aircraft that are	in compliance with	Section	91.119.

14 C.F. R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings.

The regulation	requires : E ach person	operating	an	aircraft	must maintain	cruising	altitude	by referencing	an altimeter	that	is	set	“...to	the elevation	of	the	departure	airport	or	an	appropriate	altimeter	setting	available b efore	departure.”

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : The UAS is	equipped	with GPS	altitude information	versus	barometric ;	therefore, an	exemption is needed. The	PIC

, through	use	of	live flight data	monitoring, will observe and	control the	altitude	of the UA S

. Additionally,	the	PIC will	note the launch	site elevation	from	UA S ’s GPS	altitude read

- out prior	to each flight.
14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions

The	regulation	requires: Section	91.151	(a)	prohibits	an	ind ividual	from	beginning	“a	flight	in	an	airplane	under	VFR	conditions	unless (considering	wind	and	forecast	weather	conditions)	there	is	enough	fuel	to	fly	to	the	first	point	of	intended landing,	and,	assuming	normal	cruising	speed

– (1)	During	the	day,	t o	fly	after	that	for	at	least	30	minutes;	or (2)	At	night,	to	fly	after	that	for	at	least	45	minutes.”

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : The	battery	powering	the	UAS	provides	approximately 30 minutes of	flight;	since normal	flight	operations	will	k eep the	UA S with in	a	small	operating	area ,	the	requirement	for	fuel	reserves	does	not	apply.		The	PIC	will	ensure	that flights	terminate	with	a reasonable level	of battery	reserve (at	least	5	minutes	of	flight	time	remaining	or	with	the

reserve	power	recom mended	by	manufacturer

, if	greater ).
14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration

The	regulation requires :

“ Except	as	provided	in	§	91.715,	no	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	unless	it	has	within	it	the	follow ing:	(1)	An appropriate	and	current	a irworthiness	certificate... (b)	No	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	unless	the airworthiness	certificate	required	by	paragraph	(a)	of	this	section	or a	special	flight	authorization... is	displayed	at the	cabin	or	cockpit	e ntrance	so	that	it	is legible	to	passengers	or	crew.”

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : The	PIC	will	keep these	documents	at	the	ground	control station from where flight	operations	are	being conducted.		Documents	will	be	presented	at	the	request	of	a n	appropriate	authority.
14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections.

The	regulation	requires:
A n	aircraft	operator	or	owner	“shall	have	that	aircraft	inspected	as	prescribed	in	subpart	E	of	this	part	and	shall b etween	required	inspections,	except	as	provided	in	paragraph	(c)	of	this	section,	have	discrepancies	repaired	as prescribe d	in	Part	43	of	this	chapter

. ”

Applicant’s	equivalent	level	of	safety : Given	that the	listed section s, and	Part	43

, apply	only	to	airc raft	with	an	airworthiness	certificate,	these	sections do not	apply	to	the	applicant or	the	listed	UA S

. An	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	achieved by	performing
maintenance ,	overhaul,	replacement, inspections ,	and	life

- limit	requirements	for	the	aircr aft	and	aircraft components in accordance	with	the m anufacturer’s FOM and	any	other	pertinent	documentation.

### Summary

The	Aerospace	Group	is	committed	to	safe	integration	of	UAS	into	the	NAS,	bringing	the	highest	levels	of	safety and	service	to	its	future customers,	and believes	that	approval	to	operate	commercially	will	be	to	public	benefit. The	listed	UAS	have	greatly	reduced	visual	and	audible	signatures,	do	not	produce	harmful	chemical	emissions, and	thus will	reduce	the environmental	impacts of	fligh t	operations	writ	large,	while	meeting or exceeding	current safety	levels.

In	consideration	of the	information	herein	provided,	The	Aerospace	Group,	LLC	believes that it	will	meet the	intent of	Section	333	by	operating	in	a	consistent,	safe	manne r	as	laid out	in	this	petition	and	respectfully	requests authorization	to	conduct	commercial UAS	operations
