RE: Petition of Drone Inspired, LLC for an Exemption to operate an unmanned aircraft in 

the National Airspace system 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Comes now the Petitioner, Drone Inspired, LLC, a Tennessee limited liability company 

(hereinafter sometimes the "Petitioner"), and hereby formally submits this Petition for an 

exemption to operate an unmanned aircraft in the National Airspace System ("NAS") pursuant to 

Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (hereinafter sometimes the 

"Reform Act"), and in accordance with the requirements of 14 C.P.R. §11.81 submits the 

following information: 

a.) The name, mailing address and contact information for the Petitioner is as follows: 

Drone Inspired, LLC 

1144 Winding Way Drive 

Knoxville, TN 3 7923 

b.) The specific section(s) of 14 C.P.R. from which Petitioner seeks relief are as follows along 

with a statement of why Petitioner should be exempt from each section: 

14 C.F.R., Part 21, Subpart H- Certification procedures for products and parts, Airworthiness 

Certificates 

Pursuant to Regulatory Docket No. F AA-2014-0352, the FAA stated that no exemption is 

necessary from this section if a finding is made under the Reform Act that the UAS selected 

provides an equivalent level of safety when compared to aircraft normally used for the same 

application. Petitioner asserts these criteria are met as stated in section e.) hereinafter, and 

therefore no exemption is necessary. 

14 C.F.R., Part 27- Airworthiness Standards: Normal Category Rotorcraft 

Petitioner asserts that the UAS selected provides an equivalent level of safety when 

compared to aircraft normally used for the same application, and that these criteria are met as 

stated in section e.) hereinafter, therefore as with 14 C.P.R., Part 21, Subpart H, no exemption is 

necessary. 

Page 1 of5 
14 C.FR., Part 45, Subpart C, §45.23(b) -Display of marks; general 

Petitioner seeks exemption from this section with regard to the size requirements of the 

N-Number markings to be displayed on an aircraft. Said requirements are too restrictive as 

Petitioner's selected UAS does not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station, and is of such compact 

size as to limit the placement of the word "EXPERIMENTAL" pursuant to §45.23(b) on the 

aircraft itself. However, in compliance with §45.23 and pursuant to the grant of exemption in 

Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0352, Petitioner will place identification N-Number markings 

on the selected UAS will and said markings will be "as large as practicable." 

14 C. FR., Part 61 -Certification: Pilots, Light Instructors and Ground Instructors 

Petitioner asserts that while the selected UAS will be operated as part of a commercial 

operation, it will carry neither passengers nor cargo of any kind, and that, as in the grant of 

exemption in FAA Docket No. FAA-2014-0352, the operation of such a UAS outside of 

controlled airspace does not warrant the cost and restrictions that come with requiring a PIC to 

have a commercial pilot certificate and class II medical certificate. However, to ensure safe and 

competent operation of the UAS, a PIC will be required to have a minimum of a private pilot's 

license and to comply fully with the flight limitations and restrictions as stated herein. Therefore, 

Petitioner requests exemption from these regulations. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart A, §91. 7(a)- Civil aircraft airworthiness 

Pursuant to Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0352, no exemption is required under this 

regulation provided that the requirements of 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart Hare waived or found to 

be inapplicable. As stated hereinabove, Petitioner asserts that these criteria are met and therefore 

this regulation is waived or inapplicable. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart A, §91.9(b)(2)- Civil aircraft flight manual in the aircraft 

Petitioner's selected UAS does not have the ability to carry a flight manual on the UAS 

itself due to its size, configuration and general load capacity. However, the flight manual for 

Petitioner's selected UAS will be available at the control point during each operation. Therefore, 

Petitioner requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart B, §91.103(b)(2)- Preflight action 

The person in control ("PIC") of Petitioner's selected UAS will be familiar with the 

aircraft operations manual provided by the manufacturer and take all pre-flight actions including 

but not limited to reviewing a pre-flight safety checklist, observing weather conditions, and 

assessing battery charge, landing and take off distances, and contingency landing scenarios, so as 

to safely conduct the operation of the UAS. Therefore, Petitioner requests exemption from this 

regulation to the extent that an FAA approved flight manual is required. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart B, §91.105- Flight crewmembers at stations 

Petitioner's selected UAS is a remotely piloted aircraft, does not have an onboard cabin, 

cockpit or pilot station, and does not have the capacity to carry passengers or flight 

crewmembers. Therefore, Petitioner request exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart B, §91.109- Flight instruction 

Petitioner's selected UAS is a remotely piloted aircraft that does not have functional dual 

controls by design, with flight control accomplished by radio communication from a control unit. 

However the lack of functional dual controls does not reduce the level of safety during the 

Page 2 of5 
training of a PIC due to the size and speed of the UAS and the inability to carry pilots or 

passengers. All training of PICs by Petitioner will be done in a restricted, open area in 

compliance with the operating manual and information provided by the manufacturer. Therefore, 

Petitioner requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart B, §91.119-Minimum safe altitudes 

Petitioner asserts that the operation of the selected U AS will be conducted without hazard 

to persons or property on the surface and be restricted to 500 feet AGL or below. An equivalent 

level of safety will be achieved due to the UAS's weight, size, speed, and lack of on-board 

combustible fuel or passengers. Therefore Petitioner requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart B, §91.121 -Altimeter settings 

Petitioner's selected UAS has a GPS altitude readout, but does not have a barometric 

altimeter. However, an equivalent level of safety will be achieved as the UAS will be operated 

within visual line-of-sight and the PIC will receive real time GPS altitude information. 

Therefore, Petitioner requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart B, §91.151-Fuel requirements for flights in VFR conditions 

Petitioner's selected UAS is battery powered and the limitations on such an aircraft 

prevent it from complying with this regulation. However, an equivalent level of safety will be 

achieved as Petitioner asserts that all flight operations will be terminated with a minimum of 

25% battery charge still available, so as to ensure the safe landing of the UAS. Therefore, 

Petitioner requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart E, §91.405- Maintenance required; 14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart E, 

§91.407- Operation after maintenance; 14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart E, §91.409- Inspections; 

14 C.FR., Part 91, Subpart E, §91.417 -Maintenance records 

Petitioner asserts that these regulations are not applicable to Petitioner's selected UAS as 

said regulations specifically apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which Petitioner's 

selected UAS will not have. Therefore, Petitioner requests exemption from these regulations. 

c.) The extent to which Petitioner seeks relief and the reason Petitioner seeks relief are as 

follows: 

Petitioner seeks an exemption of the above-stated code sections for the purpose 

operating an unmanned aircraft system ("UAS") to capture high quality aerial 

photography and videography for commercial purposes including but not limited 

to residential and commercial real estate listings, geographical mapping and 

surveying, and cinematography. 

d.) The reason(s) why granting Petitioner's request for relief would be in the public interest I 

benefit the public as a whole are as follows: 

The granting of Petitioner's request for relief would be in the public interest and 

benefit the public as a whole because Petitioner will be able to capture and 

provide high quality aerial photography and videography to consumers and the 

Page 3 of5 
public at large without the potential hazards or costs associated with using 

traditional low-flying, manned aircraft or helicopters. Furthermore, the UAS's 

compact size, lack of an on-board combustible fuel source, zero emissions and 

ecological impact, and its ability to be safely operated from the ground, make it 

the ideal alternative to traditional methods of aerial videography with regard to 

public safety and security in an increasing crowded airspace. 

e.) The reasons(s) why granting the requested relief would not adversely affect safety, or how the 

exemption would provide a level of safety at least equal to that provided by the rule from which 

Petitioner seeks exemption are as follows: 

Petitioner asserts that the UAS selected by Petitioner is more than safe 

considering its size, weight, operating velocity, and operational capacity. The 

selected UAS weighs 6.5 lbs and will be flown at less than 50 mph miles per hour 

and outside of controlled airspace. Furthermore, the selected UAS does not have 

the ability to carry pilots or passengers, has no on-board combustible fuels or 

other explosive or flammable materials, and will be operated exclusively pursuant 

to the parameters as stated in the Operator's Manual and Operations Limitations. 

All operations under granted exemption will be closely controlled and monitored 

by the operator and conducted in compliance with all local public safety 

regulations and guidelines to assure the safety of everyone in and around the area 

of operation. 

In every respect, Petitioner's selected UAS, operated under the conditions as set 

forth herein, will be at least as safe as, or safer than conventional rotocraft 

operating with an airworthiness certificate, but without the restrictions and 

conditions ofthe proposed UAS operations as stated herein. 

f.) A summary of Petitioner's request for exemption for publication in the Federal Register, if 

necessary, is as follows: 

Petitioner, Drone Inspired, LLC, requests exemption from the following regulations: 

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H
