I am requesting an exemption to utilize my DJI Phantom 3 Professional Drone for the sole purpose 

of conducting aerial videography, cinematography and photography of real estate properties, 

agricultural areas, building exteriors for the purpose of real estate transfers and geospatial mapping 

as well as for Special Events. I am a licensed Professional Geologist in the State of Illinois (Illinois 

Licensed Professional Geologist 196.000229) as well as a certified GIS Professional (GIS 

Certification Institute #90211) I am requesting to use a UAS for aerial data collection and mapping.

I believe that the use of the video footage is in the public interest when marketing real estate 

properties in the area I live and work in. I also believe that it is in the public interest for the transfer of 

real estate for other buildings not used for residence. I will also be using the maps and videos for 

teaching purposes as I am the national Associate Director for the National Geospatial Technology 

Center of Excellence (GeoTech Center; http://geotechcenter.org), headquartered at Jefferson 

Technical and Community College in Louisville, KY. That use is in the public interest for teaching 

and educational purposes such as public webinars for educational purposes. Lastly, it is in the 

interest of agricultural farmers to use the UAS for the purpose of detecting flaws and weeds in the 

mapping of acreage for agricultural purposes.

Pursuant to FAA Laws and regulations footage would be in conducted following criteria stated in 

previous cases where exemptions have been granted.

They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 

11062, 11109, 11112, 11213, and 12645; The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption 

Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, 11213, and 12645 also apply to the situation you present; and grant of 

exemption is in the public interest.
