LW Survey, Co. ("LWS") herewith applies for the issuance ofan exemption under Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 based upon Exemption 11110 issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd. ("Trimble") on December 10, 2014 in FAA Docket 2014-0367
. The requested exemption would allow LWS to operate the UX5, UX5 HP and ZX5 aircraft manufactured byTrimble or other Trimble aircraft approved for commercial operations under Exemption 11110, as amended, such as the UX5, UX5 HP and ZX5 for which an amendment has been filed. The Trimble UX5 will be used to evaluate information, including but not limited to: Topographic characteristics, volumetric estimates, slope and terrain impediments, Natural and cultural resource identification, As-built feature identification and analysis, hazard evaluation, and environmental monitoring evaluations. LWS notes that the FAA recently authorized use ofthe Trimble UX5 by a third party in Exemption No. 11257, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0889, on April 2, 2015, under updated conditions, and LWS hereby confirms that it will accept such conditions as well as those set forth in Exemption No. 11240, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0894.

### ZX5 from Trimble and will operate it in strict compliance with the conditions set forth in Exemption 11110, as such conditions may be amended or modified by the FAAfrom time to time, as was done in Exemption Nos. 11240 and 11257, or such other conditions as the FAA shall specify LWS acknowledges that under current FAA guidance a separate Certificate ofWaiver orAuthorization ("COA") is required tofly at altitudes in excess of200 feet AGL, and it will apply for COAs where required. LWS hereby requests a blanket COA for flights up to 200 feet AGL in the form approved by the FAA. LWS will also file NOTAMs for its flights, as required.U.S. Department ofTransportation February 5, 2016 Page2
To the extent necessary, LWS refers the FAAto the original exemption and the amended exemption requests submitted by Trimble in Docket FAA-2014-0367 for demonstr ation ofthe public interest and an equivalent level ofsafety
. Because the UX5, UX5 HP and ZX5 specified in this request are the same or, essentially the same, as the craft already approved in Exemption 1 1110, and LWS will operate the aircraft in strict compliance with the conditions in existing exemptions previously granted by the FAA, or as they may be amended , notice need not be provided in the Federal Register nor public comment solicited
