RE: Request for Amendment to Exemption No. 11216 issued to Solusia Air, LLC 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act (Docket No. F AA-2014-0912-0002) 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Solusia Air, LLC ("Solusia") was issued Exemption No. 11216 on March 20, 2015, allowing 

commercial operation of UAS to conduct aerial inspections of utility and vertical structures. 

Solusia herby requests an amendment to the Exemption to allow it to use additional 

airframes of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) under the same terms and conditions 

contained in the Exemption. In support of this amendment, Sol usia Air requests that all of 

the documents, submitted in support of Exemption 11216, be considered in the FAA's 

review of this amendment request. 

The additional airframes are as follows: 

1. 3D Robotics Iris+ 

2. 3D Robotics X8 

3. 3DRobotics X8+ 

4. Aerialtronics Altura Zenith ATX8 

5. Aero Vironment Shrike

21. ScoutX4 

22. Skycatch 

23. SkyJib 8 v.2 Heavy Lifter 

24. SteadiDrone 

25. Turbo Ace MATRIX-I 

Sol usia Air, LLC, before operating these UASs, will review the parameters of the operations 

for each of these 25 aircraft under our continuing Safety Management System discipline as 

well as comply with all provisions of our Exemption (mentioned above) and existing 

standard COA. 

Solusia Air submits that the use of the listed additional aircraft will meet the FAA's public 

interest standard for exemptions in that these UAS vehicles will further add to the 

Company's mission to reduce injuries and death as compared to relying on humans 

inspecting the structures under this exemption. In that Sol usia Air took the unique and 

demanding step of subjecting its proposed operations to the state-of-the-art SMS review, its 

flights under this requested amendment to Exemption No. 11216 will provide an 

equivalent, if not superior, level of safety. The terms of the previous exemption Will be met 

under this request for an amendment, if granted. 

All the above UAS platforms have been previously approved by the FAA for commercial 

operations in the United States, including Measure 32, Exemption No. 12646. Thus, 

expeditious treatment is justified in that this request meets or exceeds all of the terms of 

Exemptions Nos. 11216 and 12646. 

Sincerely, 

~~7· Christopher Moccia
