RE: Amendment to Exemption 11270 issued pursuant to Section 333 of the

FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations in

Regulatory Docket NO. FAA-2014-930

Dear Sir or Madam:

Elevated Perspective Media, INC.(hereinafter EPM) was issued an Exemption numbered 11270

(hereinafter the Exemption) for the purpose of aerial cinematography and

videography on closed sets,. EPM requests an amendment to the exemption to

allow data collection:

1. Real estate video showcasing of residential and commercial grade properties for the purpose of

resale

2. Aerial Mapping And Plotting Of Commercial And residential land.(ie:topography for new

construction, agricultural planning and inspection of new and existing crops)

3. Imaging for photogrammetry for the Architectural, Engineering and Construction industry

4. The Ability To Offer Training To Persons individually or belonging to both private and/or public

organizations that have interests in the use and application of sUAS for the purpose of the safe

operation of sUAS to enhance the safety of the National Airspace System(NAS) as well as for the

protection of the persons and property.

5. Aerial video/photography or providing live video feed to assist with search and rescue

operations in cases of an emergency or natural disaster only when the local authorities or

government has requested it by contract or donation. as defined in 14 CFR 1.1.

EPM would like two (2)) types of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) currently listed on EPM’s

current 333 Exemption be made available for data collection: Vulcan with DJI A2 flight controller and the

DJI s1000 with the DJI A2 flight controller. In addition, EPM would also like to add the DJI Phantom 3 to

EPM’s list of sUAS to use for data collection.

As established by the UAS exemptions already granted by the FAA to Elevated Perspective Media, allowing

commercial operations of sUAS in agriculture, real estate, inspections and search and rescue will enhance

safety by reducing risk. Conventional survey, agricultural, mapping, inspection, and film operations, using

turbine aircraft, operate at low altitudes and present the risks associated with aircraft that weigh around

4,000 pounds, and which carry large amounts of fuel. Such aircraft must also fly to and from the target

location. A sUAS weighing fewer than 55 pounds and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all of that

risk given the small size and lack of combustible fuel. The sUAS is carried, and not flown, to target site. The

sUAS carries no passengers or crew and, therefore, will not expose them to the risks associated with

manned flights. The operation of our sUAS conducted in the strict conditions outlined in the FOPM will

provide an equivalent level of safety supporting the grant of the amendment to the exemption requested

herein. The sUAS operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in secure environments. As a result,

they are far safer than conventional operations conducted with conventional aircraft flying near the

ground and people.
All flights will occur over private or controlled access areas with the property owner’s prior consent and

knowledge. Recognizable images will only be recorded of people who have given their consent or

otherwise have agreed to be in the area where active image acquisition will take place. Satisfaction of the

criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012 (size, weight, speed, operating capabilities,

proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security)

provide more than adequate justification to grant Elevated Perspective Media’s requested amendment to

the exemption, allowing for Elevated Perspective Media’s sUAS commercial operations for the listed

industries pursuant to the previous FOPM.

Please contact the undersigned should you have any questions concerning

this request for an amendment to the Exemption.

Sincerely,

Thomas Webb, secretary

Elevated Perspective Media
