– 2015

– 1249

Mr. Justin H. Adams President UAVRG, LLC 16335 Redbud Berry Lane Cypress, TX 77433

Dear Mr. Adams:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted y our petition for an amendment. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists any changes to the original conditions and limitations.

By letter posted to the public docket on July 2, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Admi nistration (FAA) on behalf of UAVRG, LLC (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an amendment to your current exemption . That exemption from §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. You requested an amendment to add the Precision Hawk Lancaster Hawkeye Mk

III

.
In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this pe tition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. T he unmanned aircraft authorized in the original grant are comparable in type, size, weight, speed and operating capabilities to those in this petition

.

Airworthiness Certification

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

− 95 in reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Sect ion 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary.

Our De cision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 11899 remains valid and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority contained in 49 U.S.C

. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, the operator is granted an amendment to add new aircraft to its UAS operations.

The operator shall add this amendment to its original exemption.

Conditions and Limitations

All conditions and limitations within Grant of Exemption No. 11899 remain in effect except as follows. Condition No. 1 has been updated to reflect the additional aircraft

.
Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immedi ate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspire 1 , and Precision Hawk Lancaster Hawkeye Mk

- III when weighing less than 55 pounds inc luding payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption.

T his exemption terminates on June 30, 2017 , unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely, / s/ John S. Duncan Director, Flight Standards Service
