Dear Mr. Duncan and FAA Flight Standards Service Department, I am petitioning on behalf of myself as the owner/operator of Double U Productions an exemption under Section 333 to operate the DJI Inspire 1 unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial photography and videography for my company Double U Productions

. The specific sections of 14 CFR that I seek an exemption are 14 CFR part 21, Certification pro cedures for products and parts, s ubpart H Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36. In addition , I seek exemption from 61.23(a) and ( c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b)

. I am seeking the relief from these sections due in considerat ion of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft system in its operation. By granting my request you would be benefiting public interest as this UAS will provide an additional tool for aerial photography and videography industry that adds a greater degree of flexibility and supplements the current capabilities offered by larger manned aircraft within our targeted industries of employment. By granting this exemption you would not adversely affect safety due t o the UAS not carrying passengers or crew in addition to flammable fuel. In addition, the safety provided by supplementing a UAS for these purposes in the aerial photography and videography industries would decrease the risk to public safety. The UAS will be operated by a licensed private pilot with a class 3 medical certification at all times . This UAS will also be flow with consideration and in accordance to FAA restrictions, and conditions and limitations set forth by previously granted exemptions of Section 333 to UAS. The proposed operations/mission that this UAS of Double U Productions would include: Aerial photography and videography for the purposes of but not limited to construction/infrastructure sites inspection and monitoring, real estate, insu rance, marketing, tourism, special interests, farmland, and landscape.Aerial photography and videography for special events including but not limited to private or

public parties/events, business advertisement(s), promotional events, festivals, concerts, and sports events. Aerial photography and videography for footage for personal use and stock footage sales, and educational/academic purposes, cinematography live feed and live newsgathering, motion picture production, television, and closed

- set filming The make and model I would use for our proposed operations is a DJI Inspire 1. The Inspire 1 UAS is 438x451x301 mm in size and has a max flight speed of 22 m/s with no wind. This UAS is a four rotor model with detachable propellers. The max flight time is approximately 18 minutes with a flight distance of up to 5 km or 3.1 miles (unobstructed, free of interference) when FCC compliant. To support my request for exemption I cite previous grants of exemption including No. 11153 to Burnz Eye View, Inc. (see D ocket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0519) and No. 14059 to HI Vantage LLC. (see Docket No. FAA

- 2015

. I thank you for your time and consideration when reviewing my petition. Sincerely, Zachary B. Weidkamp Owner/Operator Double U Productions Lincoln, CA
