PETITIONER: Glen Kitto Steady Sky Photography, LLC, a Texas limited liability company 8723 Bacardi Drive Dallas, TX 75238 Glen.kitto@mac.com (214)415-8877

Dear Sir or Madam, I, Glen Kitto, am writing pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C. F.R. 11, to request that I, Glen Kitto, an owner and operator of small unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed below so that I, Glen Kitto, may operate my small ultra light weight unmanned ai rcraft system (“UAS”) commercially in airspace regulated bythe Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). As described herein I, Glen Kitto, am a licensed Texas REALTOR, at United Real Estate and I am a LICENCED PRIVATE PILOT 1 

# (PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE NUMBER XXXXXXXXX) holding my current INSTRUMENT RATING FOR SINGLE-ENGINE AIRCRAFTand also hold a current THIRD CLASS MEDICAL CERTIFICATE. I also hold an FAA Small UAS Certification of Registration, Number FA4FRH7W4M 2



# . In addition I am experienced in flying hobby aircrafts fo r recreational purposes. I have added a hobby grade DJI PHANTOM 3 PROFESSIONALquad-copter UAS equipped with an include d original equipment manu facturer (OEM) digital camera to my inventory. The intended use of this equipment will be for aerial

# and to augment real estate research of commercial real estate by providing aerial photographs and videos; following exemption and approvalby the FAA. Thereby enhancing the academic research experience for t he greater Dallas / Fort Worth TX metropolitan area.
I have held a Private Pilots Certificate since 1983 and have had no accidents or incidents and I have flown small RC electricand gas aircrafts since 1981 without incident. I am committed to safety with each flight, whether in a certified piston aircraft or a RC electric or gas aircraft. My, Glen Kitto, exemption request would pe rmit operation of an ultra lightweight, unmanned (piloted by remote control) and comparatively inexpensive UAS in controlled and limited airspace . Predetermined in areas away from general public, airports, heliports and vehicular traffic for community photos and videos, and within property boundaries for individual property owners. Currently, similar lightweight, remote controlled UAS' s are legally operated by unmonitored amateur hobbyists with no safety plan or cont rols in place to prevent catastrophe. I, Glen Kitto, have personally instill ed safety protocols and controls 4

# to avoid and prevent public hazard, as well as manned aircraft hazards/catastrophe. This will act to further safety protocols exclusive to lightweight UAS's specific to real estate video and photography usage as I, Glen Kitto, record flight data and other information gained through permitted flight operations to share with the FAA through any required FAA reports to assi st with future protocol and safety regulation. Granting my, Glen Kitto’s, request comports with the Secretary of Transportation’s (FAA Administrator’s) res ponsibilities and authority to not only integrate UAS's into the national ai rspace system, but to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems [UAS's] in the national airspace system” under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act specific to the use of UAS's for real estate/REALTO R purposes. Further I, Glen Kitto, will conduct my operations in compliance with the protocols described herein or as otherwise establishe d by the FAA. For the reasons stated below I, Glen Kitto, respectfully request the grant of an exemption allowing me to operate ultra light weight, remote controlled UAS’s for academic community awareness to benefit/stimulate attraction to the greater Dallas / Fort Worth TX metropolitan area and to enhance real estate research analysis and for-sale listing videos fo r property owners who cannot afford

Both with public safety in mind by keeping heavier manned aircraft containing combustible fuel that that poses potential public hazard.
UAV/UAS/UA Clarification The UAV/UAS/UA which I Glen Kitto, will be operating is the DJI Phantom 3 Professional 5 

# , referred hereafter as Phantom. The inherent safety features, sophistication, programmability, GPS navigation, returnhome capability, airport vicinity no-fly feature and restricted altitude feature, as well as differentiating radio frequency (rf) for aircraft controller/receiver and for the camera make this a much safer UAV for the purposes of thispetition. This is a hobby grade radio controlled UAV that has the capacity for software upgrades. It is light, less than 3 pounds including battery and camera. Incorporated into the programming of the Phantom is an automatic return home feat ure that automaticallydirects the craft back to point of take off should communi cation with the transmitter be lost. The Phantom has a cruising speed of 15 knots, with a maximum speed of 29 knots. Maximum flight time is 23 minutes. Gross weight is 2.82 pounds.
The Phantom has an additional comm unication link between the camera and craft on a different rf for a smart phone connection. Allowi ng the operator or Pilot In Command (PIC) to monitor battery level, altit ude (AGL), distance from PIC, camera imagery, and control camera angle. The DJI Phantom 3 Professional's 2.4 ghz transmitter/controller/receiver rf for managing flightwith a 5.8 ghz rf transmitter/receiver for video/photography functions eliminates possible rf conflict.
The software for the Phantom allows the operator or PIC to set maximum altitude AGL for each flight, allowing customizat ion of flights to no higher than 100 feet, 150 feet, or 250 feet AGL as an examples . Adding to the safety capabilities of this UAV. This UAV is programmed to remain in position when controls are released. Maintaining altitude and GPS location.
The Phantom has an altitude and sonic radarmonitoring function that allows the operator more precise determination of hei ght, direction of flight and distance from the operator PI C. The operator or PIC can monitor GPS lock status while UAV is in flight, with the ability to ant icipate loss of GPS locking so the operator or PIC can land the U AV as a precaution. The Phantom has many inherent safety features, including sophistication, programmability, GPS navigation, return home capability, airport vicinity no-fly feature and restricted altit ude feature, as well as differentiating radio frequency

Zen IMU Similarities, Distinctions and Differences of other approved Exemptions/Petitions As with several other approved similar petit ions and exemptions including that of Astraeus Aerial (FAA-2014-0352), referred he reafter as the Astraeus Petition, and that of Douglas Trudeau (FAA-2014-0481), refe rred hereafter as the Trudeau Petition, this Glen Kitto Petition has a number of similarities, distinctions and differences. Like the Astraeus and Trudeau Petitions, th is Glen Kitto Petition, is for UAV operation without pilot, passengers nor property on board. Understanding that the Phantom UAV is a sophisticated hobbygrade quad-copter with gross weight less than 3 pounds; however, I Glen Kittoam not requesting a waiver or exemption for a private pilot certificate, as I hold a current Private Pilot Certificate and a current Third Class Medical Certificate. As with Trudeau Petition, I Glen Kitto, am using a UAV that has the capability for taking off and landing at a single point, identical to a helicopter. There are no runways, aided take off apparatuses, nor routes that need to be flown to areas being aerial video recorded or photographed. Allowinga reduced and more confined area of flight.

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 5 The Astraeus Petition is for movie sets involving a significant number of people, non-aerial equipment, moving or action sequences, and a potentially broad geographical area where individuals and equipment may be in motion. Requiring extensive observation, awareness, coordination and safety precautions. My Glen Kitto petition is similar to the Trudeau Petiti on in that it is for video/photography of stationary objects requiring briefer periods for recording in a tightly confined area. The stationary setting of objects poses a significantly lower risk for safety, allowing the operator or Pilot In Command (PIC) to focus primarily on stationary objects for shorter periods of time. Withthe movie action scenes, associated with the Astraeus Petition, numerous takes may require repeated flights, whereas a stationary object would in most cases requi re only a single flight. In contrast, however, to the Astraeus petition, the Glen Kitto petition shall involve shorter flights which will typically be operated in areas without many individuals and generally during non-business hours to elim inate excessive human interactions, thereby eliminating many ofthe operational complexiti es granted in the Astraeus petition. As with the Trudeau Petition My Glen Kitto Petition will require property owner written consent for aerial video/photography prior to flight. Signs will be posted cautioning anyone within vicinity to remain back a minimum of 200 feet. Observer(s) to assist and warn/advise the PIC will be utilized in situations where spectators may be within 500 feet of the f light area. As with the Trudeau Petition, I Glen Kitto requests modification, waiver or exemptio n and clarification (within reason) concerning section 91.119 prohibition of flight in congested areas. Such restriction puts home and ot her real property owners in subdivisions at a disadvantage by limiting enhanced market ing of their homes and properties; thereby discriminating against them. Vert ical takeoff and landing while video recording or photographing a home can allow an enhanced perspective for view or proximity of mountains, golf course, manmade lake or other attractions not possible through ground level video recording or photography. I, Glen Kitto, request waiver for this condition to allow reasonable and responsible aerial video/photography in congested areas of subdivisions and neighborhoods. As in the Trudeau Petition the single UAV utilized in my Glen Kitto Petition is a hobby grade quad-copter that does not require an airman certificate for noncommercial flight involving less restrictive less regulated flight. As in the Trudeau Petition the motors, rotors, propellers, body/frame, landing pads, etc. for the UAV utilized in my Gl en Kitto Petition are not complicated. Engineering and design allows layman maintenance. Like the Astraeus and Trudeau Petitions, I Glen Kitto requests waiver or exemption for markings due to the small size of the fuselage for the Phantom 3 Professional.

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 6 Recording part replacement for this UAV may prove impractical or redundant due to the simplicity of the craft. As in the Therefore Petition, I Glen Kitto, request waiver or exemption for maintenance record s. However, pre-flight inspection for cracks, damage or other physical condition s that could hamper safe flight is a reasonable expectation. As well as post flight inspection that may aid in identifying flight conditionsthat may cause stress to propellers, landing gear, etc. Thorough inspection of UAV shall be conducted and flight response tested should a hard landing or crash occur. Insu ring that the UAV can operate in a safe manner before conducting any further video/photography. As with the Trudeau Petition, I Glen Kitto requests waiver/exemption from Section 91.203 (a) since the Phantom is a hobby grade UAV/UAS that should not require an airworthiness certificate nor a registration certificate. Posting of special flight authorization would not be possible since the Phantom has no cabin and is not large enough to carry a certificate. However, a special flig ht authorization can be maintained by the operator tomake available upon request. In compliance with Section 90.151 (a) the Phantom is a battery operated UAV/UAS with battery level m onitoring capability. Fully charged battery flight time is rated at 25 minutes, wit h videos/photos taking muchless time to record. Operator or PIC is warned when battery level is low.

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 7 The Extent of relief Glen Kitto seeks and the Reason He Seeks Such Relief: I, Glen Kitto, submit this application in accordance with the Reform Act, 112 P.L. 95 §§ 331-334, seeking relief from any cu rrently applicable FARs operating to prevent me, Glen Kitto, contemplated comm ercial cinematic, academic and other flight operations within the national ai rspace system. The Reform Act in Section 332 provides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into our national airspace system as it is in the pub lic’s interest to do so. My, Glen Kitto’s, ultra light weight UAS meets the definit ion of “small unmanned aircraft” as defined in Section 331 and therefore the integration of myultra light weight UAS is expressly contemplated by the Reform Act. I would like to operate my ultra lightweight UAS prior to the time peri od by which the Reform Act requires the FAA to promulgate rules governing suchcraft. Thereby, providing direct experience and valuable information fo r formal regulation that can be administered uniformly to all real estate related UAS aerial video and photography. The Reform Act guides the Secretary in determining the types of UAS's that may operate safely in our national airspace system. Considerations include: The weight, size, speed and overal l capabilities of the UAS's; Whether the UAS will be operated near airports or heavily populated areas; and, Whether the UAS will be operated by line of sight. 112P.L. 95 § 333 (a). Each of these items reflect in favor of an exemption fo r me, Glen Kitto. My UAS utilizes four (4) counter-rotating propellers for balance, control and stability. My UAS is equipped with GPS and auto return safety technol ogy. Weighing less than three (3) pounds (far below the maximum 55-pound limit); including camera with gimbal. I, Glen Kitto, consider safety as foremostwith each flight. My small, unmanned aircraft is designed to hover in place via GPS and operate in less than a 24-knot (15 mph) wind. For safety, stability and fear of financial loss I will not fly in winds exceeding 16 kph (10 mph). Built in safety system s include a GPS mode that allows my UAS to hover in place when radio controls are released. I utilize this mode for aerial videography/photography. Th is is the safest, most reliable and stable mode to prevent accident and hazard. When pilot communication is lost UAS is designed slowly descend to point of take off. I do not operate my UAS near airports, Hospitals nor Police heliports, and do not operate near areas where general public is within fifty toone hundred (50-100) yards depending on location, conditions and weather. I am constantly on alert for any manned aircraft (Police/Medical helicopters , etc.) and prepared to land/abort immediately to the nearest and safest ground point should a manned aircraft approach my location or I suspect manned aircraft may approach n ear my location. My UAS is capable of vertical and horizontal operations, and are flown only within my line of sight of me, as the remote control pilot. Utilizi ng battery power rather than combustible fuels, flights generally lastbetween five (5) to ten (10) minutes, with an altitude under one hundred fifty (150) feet. I, Gl en Kitto, utilize a fresh fully charged battery with each flight as a safety precauti on; full flight time limit for each battery is twenty (20) to twenty five(25) minutes as tested. I do not operate my UAS at or below manufacture recommend minimum charge levels for operation;

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 8 preferring to remain well within a safe operating range to insure adequate communication between radio control and U AS to eliminate potential for crash, loss of control or hazard. Reserve batte ries are at hand with each exercise to insure replacement for suffici ent safe level of operation. I do not believe in taking risk that may cause a crash t hat could create hazard to the public/property/manned aircraft, and have nodesire to lose an investment. I have clocked numerous practice flights in remote areas as a hobbyist simulating flights for future commercial use to gain familiari zation with the characteristics of this specific UAS's performance under differenttemperature and weather conditions. I also practice computerized simulated flights to maintain adequate skills and response reflex time. All fo r the sake of safety. I, Glen Kitto’s, am extremely cautious when operating of my UAS/ultra light weight unmanned aircraft and will not “create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public.” 112 P.L. 95 § 333 (b). Given the small size and weight of my UAS it falls well within Congress’s contemplated safety zone when it promulgated the Reform Act and the co rresponding directive to integrate UAS's into the national airspace system. Glen Kitto’s UAS, used in hobby flight, has a demonstrable safety record and does not pose any threat to the general public or national security. How Glen Kitto’s RequestWill Benefit the P ublic As A Whole: Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. For small budget real estate companies and average homeowners the expense of such aerial videography is cost prohibitive. Only large companies and high end REALTORs or luxury homeowners can affo rd to absorb such expense. Depriving non-luxury homeowners and lower budget R EALTORs from a valuable marketing tool. Manned aircraft pose a threat to t he public through potential catastrophic crash that the Dallas and Fort Worth community has experienced in the past with commercial and military aircraft and medical helicopter crashes within the city of Dallas and Fort Worth. Each resulting in sometimes catastrophic loss of life. Each with combustible fuel that exploded and burned on impact. Even Dallas Police helicopters have made emergency hardlandings within city limits. My, Glen Kitto's, UAS pose no such threat since size (only approximately 18” square) and lack of combustible fuel hugely reducesany potential threat to the public. Congress has already proclaimed that it isin the public’s inte rest to integrate commercially flown UAS's into the nat ional airspace system, hence the passing of the Reform Act. Granting my, Glen Kitto’s, exemption request furthers the public interest through academic/visual awareness of the geograph ical benefits in and around the metro Dallas and Fort Wort h area. My ultra li ghtweight UAS is battery powered and creates no emissionsthat can harm the environment. The consequence of my ultra light weight U AS crashing is far less than a full size

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 9 helicopter or fixed wing aircraft; which are heavy, contain combustible fuel and can cause catastrophic devastation to the public. The public’s interest is furthered by mini mizing ecological and crash threat by permitting aerial video/photo capture through my battery operated ultra lightweight UAS's. Permitting me, Glen Kitto , to immediately fly within national air space furthers economic growth. Granti ng my exemption request substantially furthers the economic impact for the metro Dallas and Fort Worth community for companies looking to relocate or build inthe Dallas and Fort Worth metro area as well as individuals looking to relocate for career advancement through academic and geographical awareness. Both of wh ich serve as a stimulus to the community. Reasons Why Glen Kitto’s Exemption Will Not Adversely Affect Safety Or How The Exemption Will Provide a Level of Safety At Least Equal To Existing Rule: My, Glen Kitto’s, exemption will not adverselyaffect safety. Quite the contrary, for the reasons stated permitting me, Glen Kitto , to log more flight time in FAA controlled airspace, with commu nication with the FAA, will allow me to contribute to the innovation and implementation ofnew and novel, as of yet undiscovered safety protocols. In addition I, Glen Kitto, submit the following representations of enhancements to current aerial videographyand photography for real estate:

I am a current and licensed instrum ent-rated private p ilot with a current Third Class Medical Certificate

My UAS weighs less than 5 pounds complete with the OEM digital camera;

I only operate my UAS below 200 feet maximum altitude (within the 400 foot permissible ceiling set by t he FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012);

My UAS will be operated generally fo r only 5-10 minutes per flight;

I land my UAS prior to manufacturer recommended minimum level of battery power;

I pilot my UAS through remote control only by line of sight and with a line of sight spotter by my side asI operate as PIC of the UAS;

My UAS has GPS a flight safety feature whereby it maintains and hovers to a pre-set altitude of 150 feet AGL (to avoid any potential collisions with trees, buildings or power lines) and then sl owly lands vertically in the exact position of takeoff, if communication wit h the remote control pilot is lost;

I actively analyze flight data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance safety protocols;

I only operate in reasonably safe environm ents that are strictly controlled, are away from power lines, elevated li ghts, airports and actively populated areas;

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 10 I conduct extensive pre-flight inspecti ons and protocol, during which safety carries primary importance;

I always obtains all necessary landowner permissions prior to operation; and,

I have procedures in place to abort fli ghts in the event of safety concerns or potential dangerous situations.

The UAS that I fly; the Phantom 3 Professional has a built in safety feature called the “No Fly Zones Feature”7 thatprevent the UAS from taking of or flying near busy airports. My, Glen Kitto’s, safety protocols provide a level of safety equal to or exceeding existing rules. It is important to note that absent the integration of commercial UAS into our national airspace system, helicopters are the primary means of aerial video and photography for communityawareness and real estate. While the safety record of such helicoptersis remarkably astounding, there has been local incident involving loss of life as we ll as extensive property damage; it is far safer to operate a battery powered ultra light weight UAS.

First, the potential loss of life is diminished because UAS's carry no people on board and I only operate my UAS in specific areas away from mass populations.

Second, there is no fuel on board a UAS and thus the potential for fire or explosions is greatly diminished.

Third, the small size and extreme m aneuverability of my UAS allow me to remotely pilot away from and avoid hazards quickly and safely.

Lastly, given its small size and weight, even when close enough to capture images, my UAS need not be so close tothe objects they are focused on through the technology and use of post editing software allowing pan and zoom. Accordingly, my UAS has been experimentally operated for familiarization / competency and will continue to operate at and above current safety levels. A Summary The FAA May Publish in the Federal Register:
14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 91: Airworth iness Certificates, Manuals and The Like. 14 C.F.R. 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Ce rtificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR § 91.203(a)(1). The size, weig ht and enclosed operat ional area of my, Glen Kitto’s, UAS permits exemption from Part 21 because my UAS meets (and exceeds) an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 U.S. C. § 44701 (f)) and Sect ion 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 11 airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. My, Glen Kitto’s, current UAS meet or exceed each of the elements. 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibitsthe operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such ce rtificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is inapplicable. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are no on board pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a safety/flight manual8 delin eating areas of where safety can be defined.10 The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 9565B, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700 and 32827. 14 C.F.R. § 91.121 regarding alti meter settings is inapplicable insofar as my UAS utilizes electronic global positioni ng systems with a barometric sensor. 14 C.F.R. § 91.203 (a) and (b) provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and registrations. They are inapplicable for the same reasons described above. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining any such required certifications and registrations by me, Glen Kitto. 14 C.F.R. § 45.23: Marking of The Aircraft. Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to certain specifications. My UAS are, by definition, unmanned. They therefore do not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot stat ion on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, two-inch lette ring is difficult to place on such small aircraft with dimensions smaller than the minimal lettering requirement. Regardless, I will mark its UASs in the largest possible lettering by placing the word “EXPERIMENTAL” on its fuselage as required by 14 C.F.R. §45.29 (f) so that I the pilot, or anyone assisting me as a s potter with the UAV will see the markings. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation through Exemptions Nos. 8738, 10167, 101 67A and 10700. 14 C.F.R. § 61.113: Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: PIC. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b), private pilots are limited to noncommercial operations. I, Glen Kitto, can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current Regulat ions because my UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. Further, while helpfu l, a pilot license will not ensure remote control piloting skills. The risks attended tothe operation of my UAS is far less than the risk levels inherent in the co mmercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, et seq. Thus by allowing me, Glen Kitto, to operate my UAS, having held my

14 C.F.R. 91.119: Minimu m Safe Altitudes. 14 C.F.R. § 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. My UAS will never operate at an altitude greater than 200 feet AG L. I, Glen Kitto, will however operate my UAS in safe areas away from public and traffic, providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe altitudes. Given the size, weight, m aneuverability and speed of my UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved. E. 14 C.F.R. 91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections. The above-cited Regulations require, am ongst other things, aircraft owners and operators to “have [the] aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter”. These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. They will not, therefore, apply to my, Glen Kitto's, UAS.

The size, weight and enclosed operational area of my UAS permits exemption from Part 21 because my, Glen Kitto’s, UAS meets an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of t he Reform Act.

In summary, Glen Kitto seeks an exemption from the following Regulations: 14 C.F.R. 21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. §91.7 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2); 14 C.F.R. § 91.103( b); 14 C.F.R. § .109; 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) and (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. § 91.409 (a ) (2); and, 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.417 (a) & (b) to commercially operate my, Glen Kitto's, small unmanned vehicle/lightweight unmanned aircraft vehi cle in community awareness and real estate operations, and to develop economic platforms for real estate to enhance the understanding and experience of those seeking real estate information or to relocate to the greater Dallas/ Fort Worth metropolitan area. Currently, area awareness and real estateaerial videography/photography relies primarily on the use of larger aircraft running on combustible fuel. Posing potential risk to the public. Granting my , Glen Kitto’s, request for exemption will reduce current risk levels and thereby enhan ce safety. My UAS craft does not contain potentially explosive fuel, is sma ller, lighter and more maneuverable than conventional real estate video and photographic aircraft with much less flight time. Further, I operate at lower altitudesand in controlled airspace eliminating potential public risk flying to and from established airfields. I, Glen Kitto, have been informally analyzin g flight information and will compile safety protocols and the implementation ofa flight operations manual for real estate usage that exceeds currently accepted means and methods for safe flight. Formal collection of information shared with the FAA will enhance the FAA's internal efforts to establish protocols for complying with the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. There are no personnel on board my, Glen Kitto’s, UAS and therefore the likelihood ofdeath or serious bodily injury is significantly diminished. My, Glen Kitto’s, operation ofmy UAS, weighing less than 5 pounds and travelling at lower speeds within limited areas will provide an equivalent level of safety as that achieved under current FARs. Accordingly I, Glen Kitto, (Licensed Private Pilot Certificate Number 3514267) respectfully request that the FAA grant my exemption request and am willing to cooperate in sharing information to benefit the FAA, safety of manned aircraft, and the general public at large.

# Appendix C Personal Protocols and Controls

PERSONAL PROTOCOLS AND CONT ROLS FOR GLEN KITTO I, Glen Kitto, follow a strict protocol and use a series of controls for every flight of the UAS that I utilize. My pre-flight checklist is as follows: 1. Remote controller, Inte lligent Flight Battery and the mobile device (iPad Mini tablet or iPhone Six +) are fu lly charged prior to each flight to avoid any potential for flight interruption or loss of signal between the RC and the UAS. 2. We fully inspect all propeller blades and check all functionality on the remote control to make absolutely certain that all systems are operational. 3. We regularly update the firmware for the UAS and the RC device offers warning messages should any operati onal aspect of the UAS be out of compliance or not functioning. If this is the case then we abort the flight and take the appropriate corrective action. 4. We make certain that no ferromagneticinterference is present during compass calibration which involves staying clear of all power lines and keeping items like keys, smart phones, underground steel struct ures, and clear from the UAS. We also insure that calibration activitiesare performed only outdoors at the takeoff point and performed strictly by the manufacturer’s guidelines fo r safe calibration. The UAS will then give a green light and signal when it is clear to fly in GPS mode, meaning all systems are ready. 5. The UAS’s propellers are mounted correctly and firmly then tested during the warm-up period.
6. We make certain that the motors can start and are functioning normally. 7. We calibrate the compass of the UAS and make sure the RC offers the message that we are clear to fly in GPS mode which offers far greater control.
8. We make certain that the UAS’s vi sion positioning system is functioning and enabled which allows for greater control, stability and the ability to offer a safe and stable takeoff. 9. Start up allows for the blades to turn and we can observe the connection between the RC and the UAS, make note of any unusual sounds or noises and make certain that all systems are operational and functional.

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 18 Take/Off and Landing Procedures are as follows: 1. After placing safety cones and awareness placards in a conspicuous location, I place the aircraft in an open, flat area away from any obstructions, buildings and people with the battery indicator lights on the UAS facing towards the pilot.
2. I turn on the RC and mobile device first and then turn on the intelligent battery on the UAS as recommended by the manufacturer. 3. I launch the DJI Pilot app which allowsfor all system controls and real-time images to be sent to the RC device at all times. 4. I always fly the UAS in P-mode which means that my UAS is making use of both GPS and vision positioning systems to allow for the safest and most stable flight. 5. After calibrating it’s GPS location byway of manufacturer’s recommendations, I wait until the Aircraft Indicators on the RC blink green which means the Home Point is duly recorded and it is safe to fly.If they blink yellow we do not takeoff because this means the Home Point is not recorded. 6. We push the throttle up slowly to ta keoff or use auto takeoff to hover the machine at 4 to 5 feet for 30 seconds. Thisallows us to inspect the UAS’s hover, listen for any abnormal noises, inspect for lack of control or anything abnormal prior to flight while the UAS is still close at hand.
7. To land I hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle to descend. I always land at the original HomePoint. In the event of a need to abort a flight because of the inabi lity to return the UAS to the Home Point we can use the Auto land function if there is anytype of malfunction because we always maintain line of sight control over the UAS. 8. After landing I hold the throttle at its lowest position until the motors stop. 9. After landing we turn off the IntelligentFlight Battery first and then the RC unit as per the manufacturer’s recommendation.

Protocols are as follows: 1. I shall primarily not fly over 200 feet and can have automatic altitude limitations of 200 feet set so that t he UAS may never exceed 200 feet AGL. Most of the flights are conducted at 15 to 50 feet AGL, so I seldom go above 50 feet as over 90% of my operations are conducted between 15 and 50 feet.

# Docket	No.	FAA−2015−2901	–	Kitto	–					Page: 19 2. I stay more than 5 miles away from all controlled air space for operational commercial airports during all flight operations. 3. I only fly in VFR conditions and never fly when conditions are rated as MVFR or IFR. 4. I never fly in areas that are subject to high pedestrian traffic, near tall buildings, in restricted airspace or in any area that may pose a threat to human health, safety or welfare. 5. I always fly the UAS in line of sight never losing visual contact, utilizing a spotter to maintain line of site with the UAS. In distance terms this means a limitation of 1,000 lineal feet or less. The majority of my operations are conducted at less than 100 lineal feet. 6. I never fly the UAS unless all systems are listed as functional and operational on the RC. 7. I record all flight data including altitude, flight duration and speed, location via GPS mapping, engine and system informati on and this is permanently logged and stored on the flight controller for my UAS. 8. I perform regular maintenance incl uding firmware updates, installing new propellers as needed and servicing the UAS with an authorized dealer in the event that any systems become nonfunctio nal. Should a system show a lack of functionality on the RC then we ground the UAS until the system is repaired. 9. We always research the weather th rough NOAA to make certain that IFR conditions will exist for our flights and if they do not then we do not fly because our UAS cannot fly with any type of precipitation. This list represents our protocols and controls.
