# Regarding: Petition of Cools Entertainmentfor an Exemption Pursuantto Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Actof2012 to Operate an Unmanned Aircraft System inthe national airspace system. To whom it may concern: In reference to section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 and 14 C.F.R. Part 11 , Cools Entertainment would like to apply for an exemption from the following Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R) to be allowed commercial operation of lightweight UnmannedAircraft Systems (UAS) for aerial imaging and video in the vicinity and surrounding areas of Las Vegas, Nevada. The UAS's are as follows: DJI Inspire 1, DJI Phantom 3 Professional, OJI S900, DJI S1 000 Please see attached user manuals for details ofsafety and engineering. Cools Entertainment, seeks exemption ofthe following regulations: 14 CFR 21, Subpart H; 14 CFR 45.23 (b); 14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b); 14 CFR 407 (a)(1); 14 CFR 409 (a)(2); 14 CFR 417 (a) & (b).; 14 CFR 45.23(b); 14 CFR Part 21; 14 CFR 61.113(a)&(b); 14 CFR 91, 91.7 (a) 91.9 (b) (2) 91.103(b); 91.105; 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a) & (b); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.417 (a) & (b). Cools Entertainment is an imagery and videography firm comprised of professional engineers and staff professionals that specialize in safe operations of UAS in the acquisition ofour product. Ourstaff professionals have had experience with flying the UAS listed belowfor recreational and research purposes without incident. FlightApplications: The UAS will be flown in airspace under400ft above ground level. Cools Entertainmentwill onlyfly the UAS under controlled conditions on rural, or private property as specified by the exemption. The UAS will be used to acquire imagery and videography requested bythe client within the bounds ofthe exemption. Cools Entertainment proposes exemption under Section 333 to operate commercially in public areas to gain vantage points not accessible through any othertechnology. Our services would also be offered to government entities upon request for search and rescue or any other public need. By utilizing the high definition camera on the UASs the our staff can

# gain new perspectives from safe areas, while still in the line of site ofthe UAS. 

# Regulations forwhichExemptions is Requested andJustification ofNeed as well as Equivalent Level ofSafetyJustification:

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1) Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance ofairworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203 (a) (1). Given the size and limited operating area associated UAS's, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements ofan equivalent level ofsafety under Part 11 and §333 ofthe Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 

# (f)) and §333 ofthe Reform Act both authorize the FAAto exempt aircraftfrom the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximityto airports and populated areas ofthe particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis ofthese criteria demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricted environment and underthe conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate and withoutthe restrictions and conditions proposed.

The UAS's to be operated are lightweightat maximal payload capacity that consists of remote sensing instrumentation. The UAS will not carry any persons, explosives orflammable materials including combustible fuels. Operations underthis exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both the pilot (PIC) and the Spotter if needed. These enhancements to currentsafety practices and regulations, which already apply to civil aircraft, provide a greaterdegree ofsafetyto the public and property owners than conventional aircraftoperations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.P.R. Part21, Subpart H. Lastly, application ofthese same criteria demonstratesthatthere is no intrinsic credible threatto national security posed bythe UAS, dueto its size, speed ofoperation, location of operation, lackofexplosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load. 14 C.P.R. §45.23 (b). Marking oftheAircraft The regulation requires: When marks include only the Roman capital 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, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited;' "restricted;' "light-sport:' "experimental:' or "provisional;' as applicable. Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the UAS will have no entrance to the cabin, cockpitor pilotstation on which the word "Experimental" can be

# placed. Given the size ofthe UAS, two- inch letteringwill be impossible. We understands the need for markings and will mark our UAS in the largest possible lettering by placing theword "Experimental" orassigned numberor name (based on a request or ruling bythe FAA) on itsfuselage as required by §45.29(f) so thatanyone assisting thespotterwill see the markings. Further markings include the use offlashing green & red LED illumination on the underside ofthe UAS frame, which adds contrastagainsta blue orwhite sky. 14C.P.R. §61.113 (a) 

# &(b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command (PIC) §61.113 (a) 

# & (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. 

# Because the UAS will notcarry a pilotor passengers, the proposed operations can achievethe equivalent level ofsafety ofcurrentoperations by requiring a ground crew memberto have a private pilot's license ratherthan a commercial pilot's license to operate this UAS. Unlikea conventional aircraftthatcarries the pilotand passengers, the UAS is remotely controlled with no persons on board. The area ofoperation is controlled, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance. The risks associated with the operation of the UAS are so diminished from the level of risk associated with commercial operations contemplated by Part61 when drafted, that allowing operations as requested with a private pilot in the ground crew exceeds the present level of safety achieved by 14C.P.R. §61.113 (a) & (b). Ourstaffprofessionals have experience flying numerous practiceflights in remote areas as a hobbyist simulating flights to increase the experience and skills needed forflying a UAS. We also owns and practice on a computerized simulated flightsoftwareto increase skill levels and gain knowledge of howto maneuverthe UAS safely at all times. 14 C.P.R. §91.7(a): Civil AircraftAirworthiness The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. 

# As therewill be no airworthiness certificate issued forthe aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will existfor determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraftand the requirements contained in the Manual for maintenance and use ofsafety checklists priorto each flight, thatwill provide equivalent level ofsafety. 14C.P.R. §91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in theAircraft. §91.9 (b) (2) provides: No person may operate a U.S. -registered civil aircraft

... (2) Forwhich an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 ofthis chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. 

# The UAS, given its size and configuration has no abilityto carry a physical flight manual on the aircraft. The equivalent level ofsafetywill be maintained by keeping the flight manual

# atthe ground control pointwhere the pilotflying the UAS will have immediate access to it. The FAA has issued the following exemptions tothis regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738,9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 32827, and 10700.

14 C.P.R. §91.1 03: PreflightAction This regulation requires each Pilot in Command (PIC) to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety offlight. 

# As FAA approved rotorcraftflight manualswill not be provided forthe aircraftan exemptionwill be needed. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoffdistances and aircraft performance data before initiation offlight. Further, wewill employ manufacturer recommendations to guaranteethat best practices are implemented. 14 C.P.R. §91.109: Flight Instruction §91.1 03 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used forflight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. 

# UAS's and remotely piloted aircraft, bytheir design do not have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use ofa control boxthat communicates with the aircraftvia radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptions forflighttraining withoutfully functional dual controls for a numberof aircraftand forflight instruction in experimental aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K 

# & 9862A. The equivalent level ofsafety provided bythe factthat neithera pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and bythe size and speed ofthe aircraft. Enhancing this safety isthe technology inherent in the remote controls utilizing digital communications, which is paired to the UAS making it nearly impossibleto unintentionallyor intentionally have the control communications interrupted. 14 C.P.R. §91.119: Minimum SafeAltitudes §91 .119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. §91 .119 (d) allows helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. 

# As this exemption isfor a UAS that closely mimics the behavior ofa helicopter, and the exemption requests authorityto operate ataltitudes up to 400 feetAGL, an exemption may be needed to allowsuch operations. As setforth herein, the UAS will never operate at higherthan 400 feetAGL or beyond unaided visual line ofsight, whichever is closer. Itwill however be operated with individuals tasked with ensuring public safety, and where buildings and people will not be exposed to operationswithouttheir pre-obtained consent and training. The equivalent level ofsafetywill be achieved given the size, weight, speed ofthe UAS as well as the location where it is operated. All affected individuals will be aware ofthe planned flight operations. Our UAS's proposed herein and the lack

# offlammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraftoperating at or below500 AGL. In addition, the low-altitude operations ofthe UAS will ensure separation between these small- UAS operations and the operations ofconventional aircraftthat mustcomplywith §91.119. 14 C.P.R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings §91.121 requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by reference to an altimeterthat is set"

... to the elevation ofthe departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure:' 

# As the UAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an exemption may be needed. An equivalent level ofsafetywill be achieved by the operator, confirming the altitude ofthe launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. The operator (PIC) will also ensure effective pairing with multiple GPS sources to guarantee accurate detection of height. 14C.P.R. §91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions §91.151 (a) prohibits an individual 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, to fly afterthatfor at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly afterthatfor at least45 minutes." 

# The batteries powering the UAS's provide approximately 20 minutes of powered flight in hover modewithout payload. Our UAS'swill not be able to meetthe 30-minute reserve requirement in 14CPR §91.151. Operating the small UAS's, in a tightly controlled area with less than 30 minutes of reserve power, does notengenderthe type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed ofthe small UAS's. We believes thatan equivalent level ofsafety can be achieved by limiting flights to 10 minutes or25% ofbattery powerwhichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the UAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area. Similarexemptions have been granted to otheroperations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673, and 10808. 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) & 

# (b): Carrying CivilAircraft Certification and Registration The regulation provides in pertinent part: (a) Except as provided in §91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate

... (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this section ora special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. 

# The UAS's fully loaded are lightweightand are operated withoutan onboard pilot.As such, there is no ability or placeto carry certification and registration documents orto displaythem on the UAS's.An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved by keeping these documents atthe ground control point

# where the pilotflying the UAS will have immediate access to them, to the extentthey are applicableto the UAS's. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample ofotherexceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797 A, 9816A, and 10700. 14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) 

# &(b): Maintenance Inspections These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E ofthis part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 ofthis chapter

... ;' and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part43. 

# Given that these section and Part43 apply only to aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate, these sectionswill notapplyto the applicant. The operator, pursuantto the flight manual, will provide maintenance. An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved because these small UAS's are very limited in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods oftime. Ifmechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higherthan 400 feetAGL. We will ensure thatthe UAS is in working order priorto initiating flightand keep a log ofany maintenance performed. Moreover, ourtrained staff professionals are familiar with the aircraftand are bestsuited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level ofsafety.



# Conditions and Limitations We have reviewed the conditions and limitations given belowfrom one ofthe recent Section 333 exemptions granted and we are willing to abide by the rules outlined below. New rules that are not listed belowwill also be followed if required for an exemption. 1. Operations authorized bythis grant ofexemption are limited to the specific UAS listed when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations ofany other aircraftwill require a new petition

# ora petition to amend this exemption. 2. Operations forthe purpose ofclosed-set motion picture and television filming are not permitted. 3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UAbe operated at airspeeds greaterthan the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feetAGL. 5. The UA must be operated within visual line ofsight (VLOS) ofthe PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device otherthan corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC's FAA-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver's license. 6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line ofsight (VLOS) ofthe PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times; electronic messaging ortexting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation forthe duration ofthe flight. The PIC must ensure thatthe VO can perform the duties required ofthe VO.
7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this grant ofexemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to theAdministrator upon request. Ifa discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, 4 the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must followthe procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator's responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to theAdministrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendmentto this grant ofexemption. Ifthe operator determines that any update or revision would affectthe basis upon which the FAAgranted this exemption, then the operator must petition for an amendmentto its grant ofexemption. The FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted ifquestions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation orflight characteristics, e.g. replacement ofa flight critical

# component, must undergo a functional test flight priorto conducting further operations underthis exemption. Functional testflights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional testflight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. 10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, items, orequipment. Ifthe inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation ofthe UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. 11. The operator mustfollow the UAS manufacturer's maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements forthe aircraft and aircraft components. 12. Each UAS operated underthis exemption must complywith all manufacturer safety bulletins. 13. Underthis grant ofexemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAAairman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license issued by a state, the District ofColumbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, orthe Federal government. The PIC must also meetthe flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR 

# § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. 14. The operator may not permit any PJC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with howthe UAS will be operated underthis exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

# § 61.51(b). Flights forthe purposes oftraining the operator's PIGs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experience-building) and determining the PIC's ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistentwith howthe UAS will be operated underthis exemption are permitted underthe terms ofthis exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential forflight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UAS with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR 

# § 91.119.

# 15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR 

# § 1.1. All operations must be conducted undervisual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 16. The UAS may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAAAirport/Facility Directory (AFD) orfor airports not denoted with an ARP, the center ofthe airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA-published aeronautical chart, unless a letterofagreement with that airport's management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letterofagreement with the airport management must be made available to theAdministrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud orwhen visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 18. Ifthe UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAmust return to a pre-determined location within the private or controlled-access property. 19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available powerfor the UAto conduct the intended operation and to operate afterthat for at leastfive minutes orwith the reserve power recommended bythe manufacturer if greater. 21. AirTraffic Organization (ATO) Certificate ofWaiver orAuthorization (COA). All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO-issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct operations that cannot be conducted underthe terms ofthe attached COA. 6 22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part47, and have identification (N-Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable. 23. Documents used bythe operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR 

# §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC atthe Ground Control Station ofthe UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 24. The UA must remain clear and give wayto all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 25. The UAS may not be operated bythe PIC from any moving device or

# vehicle. 26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: a. Barriers or structures are presentthat sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UAand/or debris in the event ofan accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet ofthe UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and b. The owner/ controller ofanyvessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closerto those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk ofoperating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. The PIC, VO, operatortrainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating persons underthis exemption. 27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 28. Any incident, accident, orflight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries ofthe operational area as defined bythe applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov.

# "f:l,~ti~Q~n\f?ti~~" The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, Including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft If the control signal is lost The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides Increased stability and 

### a new air braking feature.

# ~~~~ftJ!o~~ Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below:**P~mode** (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal 

### is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors :

P-GPS: GPS and VIsion Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: VIsion Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using only the VIsion Positioning System for positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vtslon Positioning is avaUable. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (\OC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section in the Appendix.**~\;i:-** Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto**the~** Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information. 

# •**"Fri~~f,~~nts)ndioal~r•.•** The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEOs are shown Inthe figure befow:**f~IWrJI!:)(Jlu~** lnd
