Expanded 14 CFR sections exemption is requested and why: 

§61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command. 

Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (h) of this section, no person who holds a private pilot 

certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for 

compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an 

aircraft. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

The UAS Samet Corporation intends to operate is the DJI Phantom 3. It cannot 

exceed 50 mph of forward flight, cannot carry cargo or passengers, weighs less than 

6lbs and is limited to 23 min flight time. The DJI Phantom 3 will never operate in 

any airspace that could potentially interfere with air traffic. The PIC will have full 

authority and responsibility towards the safe operation of the UAS. The PIC will 

have logged training flights that include emergency, evasive, and high wind 

procedures to ensure mission safety. 

Level of safety retained: 

Internal pilots will be trained extensively in UAS operation and safety procedures 

along with logging several training hours before flying on site. Besides UAS 

operation, no additional training would be required to achieve the safety and 

preflight planning that a higher certificate would enable, such as a commercial or 

airline transport certificate. 
§91. 7 Civil aircraft airworthiness. 

(a} No person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based o~: 

At this time, no airworthiness certification exists for the DJI Phantom 3. However, 

DJI has run extensive flight testing of the Phantom 3 prior to release of their 

product. DJI has ensured that all FCC considerations and regulations have been met. 

UAS preflight inspections will be mandatory prior to each flight to ensure safe 

operation. Manufacturer guidelines as well as Day VFR flight rules and other 

atmospheric condition requirements will be taken into consideration prior to each 

flight. We feel that by conducting all flights using this equipment, and following all 

manufacturer and FAA atmospheric condition requirements, retains the intent of 

the testing and validation that an airworthiness certificate provides. 

Level of safety retained: 

·The DJI Phantom 3 is a professionally built UAS that has undergone extensive 

testing. The Phantom has preprogrammed no-fly zones, GPS location guidance and 

numerous fail-safes to minimize safety risks. The flight path will not be over 

persons on the ground and will remain over privately owned property. Both the PIC 

and VO would be required to undergo multiple training scenarios using the same 

UAS prior to field flights. 
r J i; ~· 

§91.103 Preflight action. 

Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information 

concerning that flight. This information must include-

(b) For any flight, runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the following takeoff and landing 

distance information: · 

(2) For civil aircraft other than those specified in paragraph (b)(l) ofthis section, other reliable 

information appropriate to the aircraft, relating to aircraft performance under expected values of 

airport elevation and runway slope, aircraft gross weight, and wind and temperature. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

Prior to all flights, Samet Corporation will conduct a strict preflight inspection. 

However, items such as "runway lengths", "runway slope" and "gross weight" will 

not be applicable to UAS inspections. 

Level of safety retained: 

Preflight inspections will include: Manufacturer's recommended inspection 

procedure, weather conditions will be assessed based on VFR minimums, on-site 

project leaders will be informed of UAS presence, and flight path will be determined. 
§91.105 Flight crewmembers at stations. 

(a) During takeoff and landing, and while en route, each required flight crewmember shall-· 

(1) Be at the crewmember station unless the absence is necessary to. perform duties in connection 

with the operation of the aircraft or in connection with physiological needs; and 

(2) Keep the safety belt fastened while at the crewmember station. 

(b) Each required flight crewmember of a U.S.·registered civil aircraft shall, during takeoff and 

landing, keep his or her shoulder harness fastened while at his or her assigned duty station. This 

paragraph does not apply if-

(1) The seat at the crewmember's station is not equipped with a shoulder harness; or 

(2) The crewmember would be unable to perform required duties with the shoulder harness 

fastened. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

Samet Corporation intends to operate a DJI Phantom 3, which has a total weight of 

less than 3 lbs. and is incapable of carrying any crewmembers onboard. 

Crewmembers, as it relates to our operation, will consist of a Pilot in Command & a 

Visual Observer who will both be on the ground. 

Level of safety retained: 

It is the intent of this regulation to ensure that flight crewmembers are in a position 

to immediately conduct emergency procedures and maintain constant positive 

control of the aircraft With the flight crew of the UAS consisting of a PIC and VO, the 

PIC will be able to maintain constant positive control of the UAS with verbal cues 

from the VO, as well as the VO being able to assure obstruction and person clearance 

and constant escape route planning during each phase of flight. 
§91.109 Flight instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests. 

(a) No person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that 

aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. However, instrument flight instruction may be given in an airplane that is equipped 

with a single, functioning throwover control wheel that controls the elevator and ailerons, in place of fixed, dual controls, 

when-

(1) The instructor has determined that the flight can be conducted safely; and 

(2) The person manipulating the controls has at least a private pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings. 

(b) An airplane equipped with a single, functioning throw over control wheel that controls the elevator and ailerons, in place of 

fiXed, dual controls may be used for flight instruction to conduct a flight review required by §61.56 of this chapter, or to obtain 

recent flight experience or an instrument proficiency check required by §61.5 7 when-

(1) The airplane is equipped with operable rudder pedals at both pilot stations; 

(2) The pilot manipulating the controls is qualified to serve and serves as pilot in command during the entire flight; 

(3) The instructor is current and qualified to serve as pilot in command of the airplane, meets the requirements of §61.195(b), 

and has logged at least 25 hours of pilot-in-command flight time in the make and model of airplane; and 

(4) The pilot in command and the instructor have determined the flight can be conducted safely. 

(c) No person may operate a civil aircraft in simulated instrument flight unless-

(1) The other control seat is occupied by a safety pilot who possesses at least a private pilot certificate with category and class 

ratings appropriate to the aircraft being flown. 

(2) The safety pilot has adequate vision forward and to each side of the aircraft, or a competent observer in the aircraft 

adequately supplements the vision of the safety pilot; and 

(3) Except in the case oflighter·than-air aircraft, that aircraft is equipped with fully functioning dual controls. However, 

simulated instrument flight may be conducted in a single-engine airplane, equipped with a single, functioning, throwover 

control wheel, in place of fiXed, dual controls of the elevator and ailerons, when-

(i) The safety pilot has determined that the flight can be conducted safely; and 

(ii) The person manipulating the controls has at least a private pilot certificate with appropriate category and class ratings. 

(d) No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for a flight test for an airline transport pilot certificate or a class or 

type rating on that certificate, or for a part 121 proficiency flight test, unless the pilot seated at the controls, other than the 

pilot being checked, is fully qualified to act as pilot in command of the aircraft. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

With the aid of experienced multi-rotor UA operators, Samet Corporation will 

provide in-house training to all PIC and VO who intend to operate a UA. These 

instructors will be at least of private pilot certification and have experience either in 

a commercial or hobby use setting. A training program will be developed by Samet 

Corporation to cover normal operations as well as emergency and evasive 

operations. While Samet Corporation will refer to these individuals as "instructors", 

they will be unable to meet the criteria listed in this regulation due to certification 

not existing as well as aircraft requirements not being able to be met. 

Level of safety retained: 

FAA certified flight instructors will be used, whenever possible, to ensure that all 

new operators understand and follow FAA guidelines. Before becoming a PIC all 

student operators will be trained in at least preflight actions, weather knowledge, 

and good aeronautical decision making and will build upon that with controlled 

flights. 
§91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General. 

Except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below the following 

altitudes: 

(b) Over other than congested areas. An altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open 

water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 

feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

The FAA ruling, as it pertains to UAS, requires operators to stay below a 400' AGL 

ceiling to remain out of the path of manned air traffic. For our intended purpose, 

UAS will not fly above this ceiling. 

Level of safety retained: 

Staying below the 400' ceiling will keep our UAS operation away from manned 

aircraft. A trained PIC and VO will monitor the airspace during flight to ensure that 

no manned aircraft is present in that space at all times. 
§91.121 Altimeter settings. 

(a) Each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising altitude or flight level of that 

aircraft, as the case may be, by reference to an altimeter that is set, when operating-

(!) Below 18,000 feet MSL, to-

(i) The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 100 nautical miles of 

the aircraft; 

(ii) lfthere is no station within the area prescribed in paragraph (a)(l)(i) of this section, the current 

reported altimeter setting of an appropriate available station; or 

(iii) In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the departure airport or an 

appropriate altimeter setting available before departure; or 

(2) At or above 18,000 feet MSL, to 29.92" Hg. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

The DJI Phantom 3 uses an onboard GPS, Barometer and Vision Positioning System 

to accurately calculate altitude. At initial take off, the Barometer is set to Zero (0), 

which helps ensure that the UA remains below the 400' AGL ceiling throughout the 

flight. Altitude information is displayed on the ground control display and the 

Phantom 3 has safety features that keep it from gaining too much altitude. 

Max operating altitude ( 400') is often under Minimum safe altitude as described in 

regulation. However, the UAS will not carry peoples and will be operated from the 

ground as to provide no danger to persons or property. Operations will be limited to 

current Samet Corporation job sites and/or owned property and structures. The UA 

will never be operated over employees or the general public. The flight will be 

planned with jobsite leadership to ensure flight path while maintaining safety. 

Level of safety retained: 

Adjustments for changing barometric pressure is not required as the UAS will be 

operated in line of sight. Also, as the Phantom is able to calculate altitude via three 

separate sources along with a programmed 400' AGL safeguard, PIC and VO will be 

able to ensure that the UA remains below the 400' AGL ceiling at all times during the 

flight. 
§91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. 

(a) No person may begin 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 after that for at least 30 minutes 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

The Phantom 3, which Samet Corporation intends to operate, is powered solely by 

DJI approved batteries. The batteries will be maintained and operated per 

manufacturer's recommendations. Flight length will take place under the minimum 

requirement for VFR fuel reserves. Battery capacity will be monitored during flight 

via the ground control station and auto return and land settings will require the UA 

to land prior to reaching dangerously low battery levels. 

Level of safety retained: 

The DJI Phantom 3 has safeguards in place to both warn the PIC and auto land in the 

event of battery starvation. These safeguards and that fact that neither cargo nor 

passengers will be carried assure the level of safety that 14 CFR 91.151 desires. 
§91.405 Maintenance required. 

Each owner or operator of an aircraft-

(a) Shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between 

required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired 

as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter; 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

UAS will be maintained per manufacturer's recommended procedures and repair 

stations as needed. 

Level of safety retained: 

Mandatory preflight inspections, as well as following manufacturer's recommended 

procedures, will ensure that all components of the UAS are in working order. If any 

component is found to be in disrepair, the flight will be immediately aborted and the 

component will be replaced with manufacturer recommended parts. The repair 

work will be completed by either the manufacturer when able or a knowledgeable 

repair facility. 
§91.407 Operation after maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding. or alteration. 

(a) No person may operate any aircraft that has undergone maintenance, preventive maintenance, 

rebuilding, or alteration unless-

(1) It has been approved for return to service by a person authorized under §43. 7 of this chapter; 

and 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

Return to service test flights will be conducted by a fully trained operator as 

recommended by the manufacturer. 

Level of safety retained: 

Return to service flights will take place in a controlled environment void of all 

obstacles, people and property. During a comprehensive test flight the repaired 

component and all phases of flight will be tested and logged. 
§91.409 Inspections. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, no person may operate an aircraft unless, · 

within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has had-

(1) An annual inspection in accordance with part 43 of this chapter and has been approved for return 

to service by a person authorized by §43.7 of this chapter; or 

(2) An inspection for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate in accordance with part 21 of this 

chapter. 

No inspection performed under paragraph (b) of this section may be substituted for any inspection 

required by this paragraph unless it is performed by a person authorized to perform annual 

inspectionsand is entered as an "annual" inspection in the required maintenance records. 

Samet Corporation requests exemption based on: 

Preflight and system monitoring will be in accordance with manufacturer's 

recommendations which do not comply with standard aircraft inspection 

requirements. However, if at any point a system is found to be defective or no longer 

operational, it will be removed and/or replaced with an operational replacement 

part All maintenance records will be logged and available to the PIC prior to each 

. flight. 

Level of safety retained: 

Repairs and inspections will be conducted by the manufacturer or a knowledgeable 

repair facility in order to ensure proper repairs in accordance to manufacturer 

recommendations. 
§91.417 Maintenance records. 

(a) Except for work performed in accordance with §§91.411 and 91.413, each registered owner or

Unmanned Aircraft Description 

Samet Corporation intends to operate the DJI Phantom 3. The Phantom 3 is a quadcopter UA with an attached 4k video camera. The video is transmitted live during 

fight to a ground control station mounted on the remote control. The Phantom 3 is 

controlled directly by the controller along with GPS positioning and a vision 

positioning system that pro~ides low height precision control and obstacle 

avoidance. Altitude limits may be set which will not allow the Phantom 3 to exceed 

the 400' AGL ceiling. A Return to Home feature automatically returns the UAS to the 

takeoff location as battery reaches a critical low or if communications between the 

UAS and the controller are disrupted. 

Following the petition summary are documents provided by the manufacturer: 

A. -Phantom 3 User Manual 

B. -Phantom 3 Safety Guidelines 

Radio Frequency Information 

The controller that comes with the Phantom is listed by the manufacturer to be CE 

and FCC compliant. Controller and video link transmission operate at 2.4GHz and 

have a maximum range of 2 kilometers. 

PIC Qualifications 

Each pilot of the UAS will have logged training for multi-rotor UAS flight consisting 

of takeoff and landing, emergency and evasive actions, and scenario based mission 

training. 
Description of Intended UAS Operations 

Samet Corporation intends to use the Phantom 3 to conduct inspections, jobsite 

surveys and photography. Samet Corporation will be able to accomplish this goal 

while following Federal Aviation Regulations. All flights will remain below the FAA 

set 400' AGL altitude ceiling and will be conducted outside a 5 nautical mile radius 

of any and all airports. If it is required that we operate within 5 nautical miles of an 

airport a letter of agreement will be obtained from the airport's management, and 

the operation will be conducted in accordance with a Notice to Airman as required 

by the Certificate OfAuthorization. 

1. DJI Phantom 3 when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload will be the 

only UA operated per this exemption. 

2. The UA will not be permitted to operate at airspeeds greater than the Maximum 

speed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer in any case. Groundspeed or 

calibrated airspeed may be used to determine UA speed. 

3. The UA must remain below altitudes of 400' AGL at all times and will be limited to 

this altitude using DJI software. · 

4. The PIC must maintain visual line of sight (VLOS) of the UA at all times during 

operation. The PIC must have visual contact using unaided by any device other than 

corrective lenses. 

5. All operations will be conducted by a two person team consisting of a Pilot in 

Command (PIC) and a Visual Observer (VO). The VO must be designated before 

flight operations and remain the designated VO throughout the duration of the 

flight. PIC and VO must maintain visual line of sight (VLOS) of the UA at all times 

and be able to communicate verbally during flight operations. 

6. If an UAS operated by Samet Corporation must undergo maintenance that could 

potentially alter operational or flight behavior, the UAS will be flight tested prior to 

returning to the field. All test flights will be conducted in an open environment at 

least 500' from other people. 

7. Prior to every flight, the PIC must inspect the UAS to determine if it is safe to fly 

by conducting the manufacturer's recommended preflight inspection instructions. 

8. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer's maintenance, overhaul, 

replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft 

components. Training flight hours must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 

CFR § 61.51(b). Flights conducted for the purpose oftraining PICs and VOs will be 

permitted under this exemption provided that the training flights take place in · 

dedicated training areas void of all other people and property that could be 

damaged. 
9. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. 

10. UAS operations will not be conducted within 5 nautical miles or and airport 

reference point (ARP). If it is required that the UAS operate within 5 mil.es of an 

ARP, a letter of agreement must be obtained from the airport's management. 

11. Prior to takeoff, a predetermined location void of any obstruction, is set and if 

the UAS loses R/C communication or the battery reaches critical lows the UAS will 

return to that location . 

. 12. All operations must immediately cease in the event of unpredicted weather, 

obstacles or emergencies. 

13. All flights will begin with a fully charged battery and will end with at least 5 

minutes of reserve battery to ensure no battery starvation occurs during flight. 

14. As is required in 14 CFR part 47, all UAS operated within this exemption must 

be registered and be marked with the identification number assigned to each UAS 

15. Proper documentation as required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be 

readily available to the PIC during all flight operations. These documents must be 

present~d to the administrator or law enforcement if requested. 

16. Under no circumstance may the UA operate knowingly in the path of a: manned 

aircraft. 

17. PIC must remain on the ground and not-operate UAS from a moving vehicle. 

18. All nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles and structures must remain at 

least 500 feet away from UAS during operation unless permission has been granted 

from the owner /manager to operate within a 500 foot range and the PIC has taken 

all precautions to ensure that the proximity does not cause an additional threat to 

safety. 

The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered 

. nonparticipating persons under this exemption. 

19. All UAS operations will take place over privately owned property and will only 

be conducted with permission from the property owner or owner representative. 

20. ·If at any time during UAS operation an accident should occur, the PIC will 

report the accident to the FAA's UAS Integration Office within 24 hours. 
Benefits of the utilization of UAS 

Samet Corporation will utilize UAS to increase job site safety. Certain external 

structural inspections will be done using a UAS where previously a person would be 

required to put themselves in potentially high-risk situations. Using UAS for aerial 

photography would minimize the need to use manned aircraft which would lower 

emissions and Air Traffic Control strain.
