CWG is seekingthis exemption and grant ofauthorization so that it may lawfullyconduct small UAS operations for the purpose ofperforming loss controVrisk identification inspections, underwriting evaluations, UAS pilottraining and technology evaluation, and general risk management activities relatedto its primarybusiness ofproviding commercial lines property and casualty insurance productsthroughoutthe United States. Below, please find additional discussion concerning the basis for CWG'spetition, andwhy a grant ofthepetition should be allowed inthis instance. 

# I. Overview ofCWG CWG is a wholly owned subsidiaryofW. R. Berkley Corporation, an international insurance andreinsurance holding company. CWG is headquartered in Urbandale, Iowa, and W. R. Berkleyis headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. CWG is a citizen oftheUnited States as defined under49 U.S.C. 

# § 40102(a)(15) (2012). CWG'sprimarybusiness operations involvethe provision ofcommercial and specialty lines insurance productsthroughoutthe CentralUnited States.

# September 29, 2015 Re: Section 333 Exemption Request Page2 Products offered through CWG include commercial property and casualty, commercial liability, workers compensation, employmentpractices liability, and specialtyproducts such as collectorvehicles. The products offeredby CWG are tailoredto appeal tothe small to medium sized business in need ofcomprehensive insurance protection inthe following states: Iowa Michigan Wyoming Illinois Wisconsin Colorado Indiana Ohio Kansas Nebraska Missouri South Dakota Minnesota NorthDakota

CWG offers these products through independent insurance agents located in each ofthese states. CWG also has an operating division housed within itknown as BerkleyAgribusiness Risk Specialists (BARS). BARS operates throughout all fifty states and specializes inthe provision ofcommercial property and casualty insurance products for the agribusiness community. BARS, like CWG, utilizes independent agents for the distribution ofinsurance products. CWGviews the addition ofUAStechnologyto its business operations as a useful tool thatwill result in better management of underwrittenrisks, and the adjustment ofproperty losses resulting inthe potential for improved performance benefiting the company and policyholder alike. In the case ofCWG and BARS the primary clientele served byboth organizations are most accurately characterized as the smallto medium size businessesthat drive economic growth and provide essentialjobsfor many small communities throughoutthe United States. Insureds ofCWG and BARS playvitalroles in their communities. CWG believes that 

# VAS technologies can significantly improve the protection it offers to insureds andthe communities we serve. 

# II. Use in operations 

# CWGis requestingthis exemption so that it may utilize small, low speed UAS systems forthe following purposes:
a. The pre-underwriting inspection ofphysical structures (real property) being considered as potentially insurance property and casualty risk b. The periodic re-inspection ofphysical structures (real property) currently insured through CWGto ensure the risk is appropriately priced and understood c. The adjustment ofproperty and casualty losses necessitatingthe inspection ofroofs or other elevated structures over more than six (6) feet offofthe ground d. The extension ofloss control/loss mitigation preventative services to policyholders insuring physical structures (real property)through CWG e. Training and development CWGbelieves theuse ofUAS systems in the performance ofthe above mentioned insurance related functions will have the following positive impacts on its operations and insureds:

a. Significantreduction in exposure to potential workrelated injury due to falls, slips, and other accidents that can occur while inspectingphysical structures (real property) b. An increased abilityto accurately evaluate and understand the nature and extent ofpossible damage orrisks associated with an insured structure that withoutthe use ofaUAS may otherwise go undetected orbe inaccessible (smarter, more accurate inspections and claim adjustments) c. Expedited abilityto deliver claims adjustment services to communities in need after catastrophic loss events involving extensive physical damageto homes, business, and other structures d. Longterm cost savings opportunities resulting from bettermanaged and understood insured risks (realizedby insureds and CWG alike)I , 

# September29, 2015
. Re: Section 333 ExemptionRequest Page 3 CWG emphasizesthatthe vastmajority ofstructures and other insurable risks that a 

# VAS would be usedto survey and inspectdo notexceed a height of200 feet, and nearly all are under400 feet. Making our intendeduse one ofextremely low altitude, andnarrowlytailored for very specific commercial purposes. 

# III. Safety during operation CWGrecognizes the essential rolethat safetywill play in the intendeduse ofsmall, low speed 

# VAS systems in commercial insurance operations. 

# VAS technology is a powerful, marketchanging force thatwill likely reinventhowrisk is underwritten and evaluated. How safelythis technology is leveragedwill dictate how long itwillremain a useful and lawful tool. Forthese reasons, CWG intends to implementthe following safetyprotocols ifgranted anexemption under this petition:

a. 

# Implementation of company-wide use andoperationspolicy (ExhibitA) 1. 

# VAS is onlyto beusedfor identified andpre-approved commercial purposes in accordance with ExhibitA ii. 

# VAS will notbe loanedto any employee forpersonal use Ill.

# C) 111. 

# UAS shallbe stored in a secure location so as to not allow non-permitted access iv. After any service work is completed or adjustments are madeto the UAS, atestflight shallbe performedto verify airworthiness 

# IV. 

# TheUAS Ifgranted an exemption, CWG intendsto acquire a small fleet notto exceed 25 ofDJIPhantom 3 Unmanned Aircrafts. The Phantom 3 is manufactured byDJI, Incorporated. DJI is a leading designer ofUAS systems, and provides theirproducts on a global basis to a number ofmajorindustries. Detailed specifications concerningthe Phantom 3 may be found in the attached ExhibitD. As a summary, the DJI Phantom 3 is a small UAS weighting 1280 grams or2 pounds and 13.15 ounces. The Phantom 3 is programmable, meaningthat all flights willbe limitedto a speed of3 6 mph and an altitude ofno more than 400 feet. This feature provides us with an essential controlto ensure compliancewith ouroperations procedures. The Phantom 3 also has an automatic flighttermination feature. As a result, and in the interest ofensuring safe operation, all flights willbe terminated at 25% batterypowerreserve, the range willbe limitedto 1,000 feet andthe "Returnto Home" feature will be functional. The operatingfrequency ofthe Phantom 3 will be 2.400 GHz- 2.483 GHz. CWG can also verify thatthis UAS complies with part 15 ofthe FCC rules as noted in the UserManual furtherjustifyingthe airworthiness and safety ofthe model and ourplan for its use. 

# V. Otherjustifications for grant ofexemption In the eventthat CWG is grantedthe requested exemption it is our intentto publishuponrequestthe information ·obtained during ourflight operationsto civilian and governmental authorities in the event ofa catastrophic disaster. Furthermore, this information will result in added cost savings benefits to the many small businesses and commercial operations CWG serves yearlythroughoutthe centralUnited States. (These smallto medium size businesses most oftenrequire the exacttype ofcostandrisk managementthatUAS systems can deliver.) CWGrecognizesthat privacy concernsremain a significantpartofthe policy considerationregardingthe use ofUAS systems for commercial purposes.

# September29, 2015 Re: Section 333 ExemptionRequest Page 

# 5 It is for this reason CWGnot onlywill require permission from the appropriate partypriorto flight as discussed above, butwill never sell information collectedthroughthe use ofa UAS to thirdpartieswithouttheirprior express written consent. Additionally, a grant ofexemption inthis matterwouldbe an action consistentwithprioragency actions as demonstratedthrough

# Matter of StateFarmMutualAutomobileInsurance Company, ExemptionNo. 11188, (2015) 

# Matter of LibertyMutualInsurance Company, ExemptionNo. 11857 (June 19, 2015), and

# Matter of American FamilyMutualInsurance Company, ExemptionNo. 12030 (July 14, 2015). CWGwould also emphasize that our selection ofthe above referencedUAS model is a safe and appropriate selection given our stated intent ofuse dueto its relatively small size, low weight, and low speed. 

# VI. Conclusion Continental Western Group respectfullyrequests that its petition for exemption from Section 333 ofthe FMRA, Part 33 ofthe FAR, and all otherpriorreferencedregulations be grantedbased upon its showing ofits abilityto develop, maintain, and safely operate a UAS program for commercial purposesthatdoes not endangerthe public orpresent otherunreasonable risktoUnited States airspace. CWG is confidentthat ifgrantedthis exemptionthatouruse of UAS systems inthe conduct ofinsurance underwriting operations will result intangible economic and operational benefits to ourorganization, our customers, andthe communities we serve. CWGthanks the United States Department ofTransportation, Federal AviationAdministration in advance for its consideration ofourpetition. Itis our sincere hope we are able to soon begin lawful operation ofourUAS program underthe grant ofauthoritythrough a Section 333 exemption.

## due to weatherrelated concerns. Failureto follow the request process is grounds for disciplinary action includingthe possibility oftermination. 

# VI. Where a UAS may not be used A UAS maynotbe operated nearthe following locations:

• Withinfive miles ofan airports • Military Operations Area(MOA) • Federally owned orcontrolledbuildings orinstallations • Any area deemed vital to the national security interests ofthe United States • Anyfederal, state, or municipal installation orbuildingunless otherwise grantedpermission inwriting • Any location where permissionhas notbeen obtained in writing from the la.wful owner or party authorizedto grant suchrequests • Any locationnotrelated to a permissible use reason as set forth underthispolicy 

# VII. Guidelines for UAS access and use A request for UAS access must meetthe following criteria:



# a. Legitimate business need A legitimatebusiness need for UAS access must exist. A legitimatebusiness need is one of the permissible use examples providedinthis policy. 

# NO OTHERJUSTIFICATIONS FOR USE ARE ALLOWED. USE OFAUAS FOR BORROWED RECREATIONAL REASONS OR NOVELTY IS NOT PERMITTED. b. 

# Weather conditions Weather is a significant factor inUAS operation. Weather conditions for UAS access must align withtheweathercriteriafor Visual Flight Rules (VFR) and Visual Metrological Conditions (VMC) as setforth bythe FAA. VMC general exists during fair to good weather. VMC no longerexists whenvisibility falls below 3 statute miles, orthecloud ceiling drops below 1,000 feet AGL Flights are also only permitted betweenthe hours of8:00am and 5:00pm.


# c. Availabilityof equipment & 

# records Ifno UAS is available atthe time a request is made then approval will not be granted. A user is required to complete all forms and checklists as included withthis Manual. d.

## GLOSSARY OF KEY TERMS Above GroundLevel (AGL) AGL stands for Above GroundLevel. AGL is the actual elevation represented by measurement in feet above the ground. AGL is different from above mean sea level. 

## FederalAviationAdministration (FAA) The FAA is a federal agency that is part ofthe USDOT. TheFAAhasjurisdictionto regulate all aspects ofU.S. civil aviation. The FAA is also the primary regulatory agencythat oversees issuance ofUAS exemptions and operations. 

## FederalAviationAdministration Modernization and ReformAct of2012 (FMRA) FMRA is a multi-part enacted federal lawthatimpacts boththe funding and agency objectives as relatedto the FAA. 

## MilitaryOperationsArea (MOA) MOA is airspace thathas been specially designated to separate militarytraining activities frotn InstrumentFlight Ruletraffic dueto ahigh frequency orpropensity for the presence ofmilitary aircraft. MOAisto be considered offlimits to CWGUAS operations. 

## Person In Control (PIC) A PIC is the individual operating aUAS. A PIC must meet allleg41 and CWGgenerated requirements to qualify as aPIC. Any individual who does notmeetthese requirements cannotoperate anDAS on behalfofCWG. Direct communicationbetween the PIC and the VO mustbe maintained at alltimes. 

## Visual Flight Rules (VFR) VFRare regulations established bythe FAAthatprovide cloud andvisibility minimums for specifictypes of airspace and altitudes. VFRuse the principle of"seeand.avoid" which.is a presumptionthat aircraft flying at lower altitudes will be moving more slowly orunderpositive control and thus. donotrequire as much flight visibility or as much distance from clouds to 

## see andavoidothertraffic. 

## (Fo.tpurposes ofthis Manual a PIC is to be considered the pilot.) 

## United States DepartmentofTransportation (USDOT) The USDOT is a federal agency that has primaryresponsibility for regulatingthe multiple facets ofthe United States transportation infrastructure. This includes land, sea, and air modes oftransportation. 

## UnmannedAerial System (UAS) A UAS, also commonlyreferredto as a dtone, is a powered, unmanned aircraft system operated in the national airspace. A UAS can come inmany shapes and sizes. It

## may also be used for avariety ofpurposes. Operation ofa UAS is aregulated activity subjecttothe oversight oftheFAA. 

## VisualMeteorological**Conditio~\** 

## (VMC) VMC is an aviationflight categoryin which VFRflight is permitted. When VFRflight is permitted, flight conditions provide a pilot sufficientvisibilityto fly the aircraft while maintainingvisual separation from the ground and other aircraft. 

## Visual Observer (VO) AVO is an individual meeting the requirements ofthis Manual that assists the PIC during the operation ofa UAS for a permitted purpose as explained in this Manual. Directcommunicationbetweenthe PIC and the VO mustbe maintained at all times. 

## Visual Line ofSight (VLOS) VLOS means unobstructed, and unaided line ofsight ofaUAS while in operation (excludingthe use ofprescription glasses orcontact lenses). VLOS is aimed at ensuring safety, since an operatorthat is unable to see her aircraftmay find it harderto "see and avoid" other aircraft in the vicinity.

# Fly Safe

DJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Professional in a sale, responsible, and smart way. To do this, it is important to understand some basic flight guidelines, both loryour protection and lorthe safety of those around you. 1. Fly in Open Areas: Always fly in locationsthat are tree and clearofbuildings, trees, power lines, and other obstacles. Do notfty above

or near people oranimals. 2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using DJI autopilot functions such as Auto-Takeoff, Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to

Home, always keep your hands on the Remote Controller and maintain control ofyour aircraft when it is in flight. 3. Maintain Line ofSight: Keep your aircraft in sight at all times, and avc>d llying behind buildings orother obstacles that may blockyourview. 4. MonitorYour Altitude: For the safety of lull-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always fty at altitudes less than 400feet (120 meters)

above ground level, or in line with your local laws and regulations. Visit http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly for more information on critical safety features such as No-Fly Zones. 

# ((;A 

# 'C)
• Calibrating the Compass: Make sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data, leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance. 1. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and

steel reinforcements underground. 2. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 3. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 4. II the Aircraft Status Indicators are showing solid red, then try to calibrate again. II they are blinking red and yellow alternately after

placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. • Environmental Considerations: 1. Do not fly in severe weather conditions. This includes high winds (speeds of 22 mph or 10 m/s or more), snow, rain, and fog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid obstacles. crowds, high-voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic ·Interference by avoid'1ng areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations,

radio transmission towers, orWi-Fi hotspots. 5. Aircraft and battery performance are subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when

flying 19,600 feet (6 km) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may not be at peak efficiency. 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate in P Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only ATII Mode and the Vision Positioning

system will be operational. • P Mode: In this mode, the Phantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the Vision Positioning system, allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors and out. When GPS is availalble, a Home Point will be locked so that the Phantom 3 Professional can Return to Home it the Remote Controller signal is lost.



# B To enable P Mode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to the P position.
There are three states in P mode: P-GPS: GPSworks best when outdoorsand in awide open area. Your Phantom 3 Professional uses GPS to hover in place when there is a strong GPS signal. P-OPTI: II GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the Vision Posrrioning system to hover accurately. P-AITI: Neither GPS nor the Vision Positioning system are available. The aircraft will only use its barometer for altitude and other on-board sensors for attitude stabilization. Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly when the Phantom 3 Professional is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low-light environment.

# ~- - - - - - - "'( I Return to home GPS Positioning

• Return to Home: Vision Positioning Altitude

1foot
When there is a strong GPS signal, the aircraft will be able to record a Home Point and return to that Home Point when required. The Home Point location is recorded when the GPS signal icon in the OJI Pilot app is either yellow or green. The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically in the following scenarios (all require a strong GPS signal): Smart RTH: When the RTH button on the Remote Controller or in the OJI Pilot app is pressed. Low-Battery RTH: A notification will appear in the DJI Pilot app requesting the pilot to take action when the battery level falls undera certain level. Failsafe RTH: When the Remote Controller's signal is lost.

• While returning to the Home Point, the aircraft's altitude can be adjusted to avoid obstacles. Tall buildings may affect the Remote

Controller's signal. The Failsafe Return to Home procedure will be triggered if the signal is lost. Be sure to fly higher than any nearby buildings to avoid crashing.

# Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings Flight Modes [&WARNING) To avoid serious injury and property damage, observethefollowing rule: 1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with

the aircraft's behavior for each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unableto land the aircraft safely. 

# [ NOTICE 

# I
P mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious when flying in A mode. 1) P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states

of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: a) P·GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. b) P·OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment. c) P·ATTI: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home if the Remote Controller signal is lostand if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar with IOC functions before use. If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to acceptthe prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and maintained on a DJI designated server. 

## Failsafe and Return to Home 

# [ NOTICE 

# I 1) The Return to Home feature will NOTwork if the GPS signal is insufficientor ifGPS is notactive. 2) Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point instead ofturning offthe remote controller. 3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 

### 4) Make sure to always fly the aircraftwithin the transmission range ofthe remote controller. 5) Only use the Failsafe and Return to Horne functions in case ofemergency, as they may be affected bythe

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields. 

### 136) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate Failsafe altitude before each flight. 7) When flying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when flying above the surfaces that do

not have a clear pattern. Refer to the "Vision Positioning System" section for complete indoorflying criteria.


## Low Battery 

# [ NOTICE 

# I 1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may

push the throttle up to maintain the aircraft's altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. 2) When battery warnings are triggered, promptly bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid losing power during flight and causing damageto the aircraft, property, animals, and people.


## Vision Positioning System 

# [ NOTICE 

# I 1) The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do NOT have pattern variations.

The effective altitude for the Vision Positioning System to function correctly is less than 2.5 meters above ground level (AGL). 2) The Vision Positioning System may NOTfunction properly when the aircraft is flying overwater. 3) Keep your pets away from the aircraft when the Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar sensors emit a high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets. 4) Notethatthe Vision Positioning System may NOTfunction properly when the aircraft is flying too fast ortoo low. 5) Operatethe aircraftcautiously when in any ofthe following situations:

a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces; c) Flying at high speeds (over Bm/s at2 meters or over4m/s at 1 meter); d) Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces; e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects; f) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically; g) Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces; h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., thick carpet). i ) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture; j) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design); k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves awayfromthe aircraft 6) In the event of loss ofthe remote controller's signal, the aircraftwill hoverfor 8 seconds and then auto-land if it is in "P" mode.
