Dear Sir or Madam,

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) and 14 CF.R. Part 11, James Street Creative, LLC., hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to allow business use (commercial operation) of its UAS, so long as as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333.

I'm submitting my Petition for Exemption for Unmanned Aircraft Systems operations. I've been flying RC aircraft for the past 10 years and have been working in all capacities of video production for 15 years. I take the operation of UAS very seriously and I understand the safety precautions that need to and will take place before, during & after every flight. With my clear understanding of FAA rules, awareness of operational and restrictive airspace and my attitude of safety first, before, during & after every flight, I should be granted an exemption.I recognize the importance of extreme privacy as I've been in situations where I have had to adhere to an environment based on such privacy.

M y request for a waiver of FAA Section 333 is to operate a UAS for “commercial purposes". To record digital video data and other aerial photography data for private owners of real estate; construction sites to assist in the promotion of their parcel of land for disposition and sale and other promotional purposes in addition to TV/Commercials and Films; and all work for hire. Any complaint by any member of the public complaining of invasion of privacy will instantly be honored resulting in immediate termination of aerial operations.

I'm currently seeking exemption of:

Section of 14 CFR: parts 21 Subpart H, 27, 45.23(b), 45.27(a), 61.113{a) and (b), 61.133(a), 91.7(a), 91.9(b)(2), 91.103, 91.109(a), 91.119, 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.203(a) and (b), 91.319(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2), 91.417(a) and (b). If I have erroneously omitted any other relevant section or, overstated and relevant section for my intended operations, please feel free to suggest the missing or overstated section(s).

Suggested Public Federal Register Summary:

The petitioner is seeking an exemption to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) under the new FAA “Summary Grant" approach, announced April 9th, 2015 http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/? newsld=82485 that will help speed up Section 333 exemption approvals for many commercial UAS operators prior to finalizing the small UAS proposed rules published this past February.

It is my understanding that the FAA will still review each Section 333 petition individually. However, I am hoping that the agency will accept my particular petition, and include it in the next summary grant, andissue me an exemption on the presumption that the FAA "already granted a previous exemption similar to this request".

Apparently, the new interim policy includes the granting of a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) for flights at or below 4 00 feet to any UAS operator with a Section 333 exemption for aircraft that weigh less than 55 pounds, operate during daytime Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, operate within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the pilots, and stay certain distances away from airports or heliports such as 5 nautical miles from an airport having an operational tower; or 3 NM from an airport with a published instrument flight procedure, but not an operational tower; or 2 NM from an airport with a published instrument flight procedure. It is also understood that the “blanket" 200 foot COA allows flights anywhere in the country except restricted airspace and other areas, such as major cities, where the FAA prohibits UAS operations.

Description of UAS

I will be using a Yuneec q500+ http://www.yuneec.com/SpecificationsTyphoon-Q500plus In the event a loss of communications occurs the craft will rise up vertically to a safe height before beginning an automatic return to home function. The control signal may be reconnected in flight and the pilot can take over safe operations again if communication is reestablished. However in case of a GPS failure the craft will be able to be manually flown to a safe landing by the pilot. The craft operated electrically, carries no flammable fuel, has an integrated GPS pilot system, provides location information along with height AGL, speed, battery life, has programmed no-fly zones for controlled airports, and provides direction of travel distance from the pilot.

Flight Operations

I'm aware of conducting safe flight operations and planning flight paths that minimize any over flight of crowds. Operations will not occur under IFR conditions. Once battery level reaches 30 percent flight(s) will end. All preflight and post-flight checklists and UAS examinationswill help detect any abnormalities prior to flight and after flight. If my UAS is unable to satisfy safety checklists, it will be removed from service until the issue can be resolved.

Granting this request would not adversely affect safety since operations would be in accordance with current UAS rules.

Section 333 Compliance and Appropriateness:

Based on the size of the craft, experience of the pilot and operational goals, this request appears to be well suited for approval using the current criteria outlined in Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (including new interim policies)

Respectfully,

Daniel Bowers
