Re: Petition for Amendment to Add Aircraft to Elevated Productions, LLC’s Exemption. (Docket 

No. FAA-2015-1693)

Dear Sir or Madam:

Elevated Productions, LLC (Docket No. FAA-2015-1693) petitioned for an exemption to 

conduct aerial data collection and closed set TV/movie filming using a custom built x8 using an A2 

flight controller. Elevated Productions, LLC is petitioning to amend to add aircraft.

There is no request for additional relief from any further regulations. Elevated Productions, LLC

requests for an amendment to add onto its fleet the Freefly Systems Alta, the Freefly Systems Cinestar 6, 

the DJI Phantom 3, and the DJI Inspire 1. Granting this exemption would not affect safety but will 

benefit the public because instead of dangerous helicopters being used, safer and quieter unmanned 

aircraft can be used under the restrictions already agreed to under the previous petition. 

The petitioner will operate under the restrictions listed in the manufacturer’s manual.

The Freefly Systems Cinestar 6 manual will be submitted confidentially. Elevated Productions, 

LLC will operate only within the limitations already agreed to in the previous petition and the 

limitations listed in the manuals. The limitations, from the previously petition, will be followed if there 

is a conflict with the manuals.

Since the drones have been previous evaluated in other exemptions, the Freefly Systems Alta in 

Exemption No. 12362, the Freefly Systems Cinestar 6 in Exemption No. 11775A, the Phantom 3 in 

Exemption No. 11581A, and the DJI Inspire 1 in Exemption No. 11607, they will not set any precedent; 

therefore, there is good cause to waive the publishing of this petition in the Federal Register.

Sincerely,
