To Whom It May Concern: 

My name is Rick Robinson and I am submitting this request for an exemption of 

section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act and Part 11 ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations 

from 14 C.F.R 45.23(b);14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113( a) & (b);91.7 (a); 91.9 (b) (2);91.103(b);

(1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.409 (a) (2) and 91.417 (a) & (b) 

Background 

I work in the real estate industry and specialize in out-of-state buyers. In fact, 99% 

of my clients are out of state. When purchasing a piece of property, especially the 

size of the properties that are purchased in Idaho, it is of significant benefit to use an 

UAS for aerial photography and videography to help the buyer make an informed 

decision about the piece of property being purchased. This also includes the 

purchase of homes. Many out-of-state buyers see the benefit of being able to see 

aerial photographs and video of high eves, roofs, etc. to note their condition before 

making an offer on a home. 

Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft System 

The UAS I will be using is a small rotorcraft weighing less than 55 pounds with any 

and all payload. These UAS's operate at a speed no greater than 30 knots and can 

climb to an altitude no higher than 400ft AGL. It operates only in the line of my sight 

as the sole operator and within a radius of 300ft. It does, however, have the 

capability of a 1200ft radius of operation, but I have found, in my recreational use, 

that the line of sight is typically within 300ft of the operator. These flight 
EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT n 

restrictions ensure that it is not a hazard to the airspace in which it will be operated. 

This UAS falls within the safety zone that the FAA will, with an exemption in place, 

allow commercial operation of a UAS. 

The particular UAS that will be operated is a DJI Phantom 2 Vistion+. The specific 

specifications are found on the following pages:

As an avid aviation enthusiast, I understand the necessity for safety when flying an 

airplane or an UAS. The procedures for flight are as follows (in no particular order): 

1. With an observer, make a walk around the area that is going to be filmed or 

photographed by the UAS. We will observe the location of trees, power lines, 

or any other obstacle that may interfere with the safe flight of an UAS. 

2. Ensure that nothing will prevent a line-of-sight operation during the flight. 

3. Test batteries in UAS, remote controls, and range extenders. The only 

acceptable battery level will be above 75% before takeoff. The UAS will be 

grounded before the battery level (which is monitored remotely) reaches 

25%. 

4. Conduct a pre-flight checklist (see appendix A) 

5. Review the plan for the flight with the observer. Review altitudes, distances, 

and movements of the UAS. 

6. Ensure the PIC has license and medical on hand. 

7. Establish a security perimeter for observers. Care will also be taken to 

obtain the consent of all persons involved in the area and ensure a perimeter 

of 100ft is kept ofthe flight operation to maintain a sterile area. 

8. The operator will file FAA Form 7711-1 or equivalent, with the appropriate 

Flight Standards District Office. 

9. 3 days prior to the operation of an UAS, the PIC will submit a written plan of 

activities to the FSDO if required. 

10. PIC and observer will maintain communication throughout the entire flight. 

11. Permission from homeowner, landowner, or other property owner will be 

obtained prior to flight. 

12. Permission from the local authorities will be obtains prior to flight. 

13. In the event the UAS loses signal, the built in programming will force the UAS 

to return to is location of take off, and will safely land and power down. 

14. Flights have the capability of being aborted due to unpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies.

EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT " 

Radio Frequency 

This particular UAS operates at a frequency of 5.728GHz- 5.85 GHz. It is compliant 

with the FCC to 800m. The power of the radio falls within the FCC compliance of 

100mW. 

Qualifications of UAS PIC 

At all times, the PIC of the UAS will be an FAA certified Private Pilot with a current 

3rd class medical. Because the UAS will not carry passengers and will fly within a 

restricted area, it will exceed the safety standards set forth in 14 C.F.R 61.113 a & b. 

The PIC will also undergo training that the FAA will require to operate such UAS. 

The PIC will have over 100 hours of flight time. The PIC will also carry at all times a 

portable 2-way radio for air traffic monitoring and announcement of the location of 

the UAS if required by the FAA. At all times there will be an observer who will also 

monitor the UAS, surrounding buildings or obstacles, observers, and will be the 

second set of eyes to warn of any dangers that may affect the safe flight of the UAS. 

Operations of the Unmanned Aircraft 

As stated earlier, the UAS will be a tool mostly for out of state real estate clients to 

be able to view properties, view entire structures, and educate them more fully 

before entering into a real estate transaction. 

The flights of the UAS will not pose a safety threat with the proper procedures in 

place as mentioned in the section "Procedures for Flight." As described earlier, 

there will, at all times, be an observer, a safety perimeter of 100 feet, battery levels 

above 75% before flight, a full pre-flight checklist and run-up, review of the flight 

plan, permission of property owners, written plan submitted to the FSDO if 

required, proper communication between PIC and observer, and permission from 

local authorities. Flights will only be conducted during daylight hours. 

The UAS does not have the capability to fly over 29.1577 knots and speeds will 

generally be around 3-10 knots. The UAS will not be operated if clouds are at a level 

below 700ft AGL. This will ensure a safe distance from clouds and any low-flying 

aircraft. 

The indented area of operation will be in rural settings, as well as neighborhoods 

where homes are on lots over one-half acre and have a distance of 75-100 feet 

between homes. It will not be used in high-density residential settings as that could 

pose too many safety concerns. Potential hazards in the intended area of operation 

are trees, power lines, structures, street lights, and fences. Because of the slow flight 

of the UAS when in operation for videography and photography for the intended 

purpose, the PIC and observer will be able to safely maneuver the UAS around the 

obstacles. The UAS also has capabilities of hovering in place which allows it to be 

flown at very low speeds. 

The intended cities and counties of use have small non-towered municipal airports. 

The UAS will never be flown near the airports so as to pose any sort of safety 

Robinson Capital, LLC 12106 E 1000 N I Sugar City, ID 834481 208.360.46881 rick@theidahorealtor.com 
EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT I 

concern to pilots in the area. The altitude of the UAS will barely be above structures 

which should no pose any concern to piloted aircraft in the area. But for added 

safety, a 2-way radio to communicate to air traffic will always be on hand. This UAS 

will NEVER be flown within a S-mile radius of any large international airport. The 

UAS has built in restrictions that prevent flight within those distances from an 

airport. The built in flight restrictions prevent takeoff in a S-mile radius of a large 

International airport such as LAX, SLC, etc. The UAS will also be prevented from 

taking off within .6 miles of a smaller regional airport such as IDA If the UAS is in 

flight and tries to fly into a no-fly zone, the UAS will stop and return back. 

If required be the FAA, I will notify the FSDO of my flight operations prior to flight. 

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, 91.203(a) & (b) Airworthiness Certificate 

Because the UAS is under SSlbs, fully loaded, and does not carry a pilot, passenger, 

any explosive materials or flammable fuel, operates in a fully restricted and 

controlled environment, I request exemption from 91.203 part A & B. 

14 C.F.R. 45.23 B Marking the Aircraft 

The UAS will not have an airworthiness certificate and because there is no entrance 

to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, there is no place inside the aircraft to place the 

word "Experimental." If required by the FAA, I will place the word "Experimental" 

on the exterior of the UAS. However, due to the size, 2 inch lettering will not be 

possible. 

14 C.F.R. 61.113 A & B Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in 

Command 

Unlike civil aircraft, the UAS does not carry living things on board; rather, it is 

controlled remotely via a safe and restricted location. The risks during operation 

are so minuscule that the PIC will exceed the present level of safety required for a 

commercial pilot to operate a rotorcraft with a commercial license. 

14 C.F.R. 91.9 B(2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft 

Because of the size and configuration of the UAS, no such manual can be carried. 

The flight manual will be carried at the ground station where the PIC and observer 

are operating the UAS. 

14 C.F.R. 91.103 B(2): Preflight Action 

A thorough pre-flight inspection and run-up of the aircraft will be performed prior 

to any flight of the UAS. Please see the appendix for the pre-flight checklist. 

14 C.F.R. 91.105: Flight Crewmembers at Station 

Because there are no souls on board a UAS, regulation 91.10S should be exempt 

from my purposes of using a UAS. However, crewmembers will be on the ground 

and in direct communication, namely the PIC and Observer. 

14 C.F.R. 91.109: Flight Instruction 

Robinson Capital, LLC I 2106 E 1000 N I Sugar City, ID 834481 208.360.46881 rick@theidahorealtor.com 
EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT 

The UAS does not have dual controls. The PIC communicates to the UAS via a radio 

control box. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully 

functional dual controls for a number of aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes 

The UAS will never operate at an altitude greater than 400ft AGL. It will be operated 

within a restricted area and with the consent of any and all persons or property 

involved. 

14 C.F.R. 91.121 Altimeter Settings 

The UAS that will be used does not have an altimeter. Rather, it uses GPS to 

determine the altitude. Since the normal protocol is to set your altimeter to the 

barometric pressure reading at the time of flight, an exemption will be needed. A 

safety check will be performed before each flight ensuring that the GPS altitude is 

reading correctly. 

14 C.F.R. 91.151: Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions 

The battery in the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ is capable of 25 minutes of powered flight. 

Given that the UAS will never be further than 300ft away and 400ft AGL, the longest 

possible time it could take the UAS to return to the ground safely is approximately 

1.5 minutes. I categorize battery life under 10 minutes as the danger zone. The UAS 

will automatically return to its point of origin and safely land when the battery life 

reaches 2 minutes. Battery life as well as flight-time remaining is displayed on the 

screen visible to the PIC and observer. For safe flight, I will never fly the UAS with 

under 10 minutes of battery life. 

14 C.F.R. 91.203 A & B: Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration 

The UAS weighs under 55 pounds and does not have an on-board pilot operating it. 

The UAS is not capable of carrying such documents should they be required. These 

documents, if required by the FAA, will be carried by the PIC and will be accessible 

upon request immediately. 

14 C.F.R. 91.405 A; 407 A(1); 409 A (2); 417 A & B: Maintenance Inspections 

This regulation applies to aircraft that have an airworthiness certificate and should 

not apply to the operation of my intended use for the UAS. However, regular 

maintenance, checks, and cleaning of the UAS will be performed before each flight 

and if required by the FAA, can be logged into a log book and surrendered upon 

request. Regular maintenance will include cleaning of the 4 motors on the UAS 

Rotorcraft, motor testing, flight control testing, checking lights, and a cleaning of the 

entire UAS. 

Should a mechanical issue arise during a flight, the UAS will land immediately and 

should not pose a safety concern because of its lightweight, restricted flying area, 

and low and slow maneuvering.

The Remote Controller Power LED will blink red and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 

3.9V and automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the 

Remote Controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during flight, it will cause the Phantom to enter 

Failsafe mode which cannot be interrupted (refer to Failsafe Function (Page41) for details). Replacing 

batteries immediately after the low voltage warning (3.9V-4.5V) is strongly recommended. 

5.4 Antenna Orientation 

Keep the antennas pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground for maximum communication range during flight.

6 Preparing the Range Extender 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz 

frequency band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the 

Phantom 2 Vision+. In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can 

be reduced by trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that 

you ensure the Range Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device 

and the Phantom 2 Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the label 

as 'Phantom_XXXXXX '. The 'XXX XXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the 

Range Extender. This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

4 Failsafe Function 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control 

System will automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the' Ready to Fly status (non-GPS) ',the 

GPS coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

1) When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point 

coordinates and land. 

2) Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft {shown as 

"Distance" on the GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

3) After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

4.1 When will Failsafe Activate? 

1. The Remote Controller is powered off. 

2. The Phantom has flown out of effective communication range. 

3. The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. 

4. There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes. 

Ready to Fly (non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Flight Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the 

descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly-- Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land. 

The below demonstrates the complete Ready to Fly Failsafe landing process.

6 Flight Limits 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO 

(International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight 

limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function 

includes height, distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly 

(non-GPS) status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

Default parameters in Assistant Software are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. ~ (Refer to Airspace Classification to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to 

configure these parameters to comply with these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ 

Assistant (Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

3 Troubleshooting (FAQ) 

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute 

the CSC and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. 

(l) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the 

Phantom 2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 

Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. 

(2) The Remote Control sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Control calibration. 

(1) Connect to Assistant Software, tap Basic-> RC ->Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Control 

sticks through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

(b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

(c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Control to DJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SD card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 

seconds for the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, 

and land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and 

that you are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be 

connecting to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the l080i60 video files. 

3.7 iOS Albums fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below. Enable the Settings-> Private-> Photos-> DJI 

VISION. Otherwise Albums will fail to synchronize with your mobile device.
