I, William E. Chandler, hereby submit this petition for exemption under Section 333; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section

333. I request this exemption in order to operate my recently acquired UAV/UAS, DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter (Aerial HD Camera Platform), in order to provi de services for profit to include low level aerial photography, aerial filming a nd photography for Real Estate, construction firms and special events to include but not limited to private or public parties/events, business advertising, promotional events, geological surveying, and environmental studies.

The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community will benefit them by opening up opportunities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods of aerial photography/videography are simply not viable options for the average consumer as they are costly and involve greater risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carrying humans and flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions.Prior to each flight/operation of the UAV/UAS, I will conduct a Pre- Flight Safety

Inspection. Any and all repairs will be performed only by the manufacturers authorized repair facilities/ providers. Flights will never take place over densely populated areas or private property without the owner’s permission.

The UAV/UAS will only be operated within visual line of sight and will not be flown near airports or above 400 feet in most instances under 200 ft. The FAA can be confident that operations of this UAV/UAS will achieve at least the equivalent or greater level of safety. I will not allow any person without proper licensing to fly or use the equipm ent under any circumstances.

The requests of this petition are similar to those of Mr. Jase W. Robak, M r. Todd Thomas Drone Pics, and Mr. Mike Lloyd Lloyd & Associates, all of whom have received Section 333 exemptions for comparable aircraft for similar operations.

The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exemption are as follows: 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5); 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 61.133 (a); 14 C.F.R. 61.23(a) & (c); 14 C.F.R 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14C.F.R. 91.109(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.119; 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a);14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1);

14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(2}; 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) & (b).

Please find the included references to the DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quad Copter User Manual, Quick Start Guide, Safety Guide, and Intelligent Flight Battery Safety

Guide.

I have become very competent in the operation of this device as a hobbyist owner of the equipment I have purchased and am I now ready to make it a part of my Commercial Photography Business so I can continue to provide outstanding services to my Real Estate clients and other businesses in the future. I have been providing quality land based photographic services and property tours to the Real Estate Industry for over 1 2 years using ground based and contracted aerial services only with piloted aircraft and helicopters. Under the existing circumstances I cannot provide and invoice my clients for commercial aerial services unless I have this exemption to proceed with my

business.

I thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Bill Chandler, President and CEO Greymane Connections, Inc.
