To	whom	it	may	concern: Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC	is	requesting	an	exemption	from	the	regulations	listed
below	until	the	FAA	addresses	and	redefi nes	the	use	and	regulations	of UAV	or	drones
for	commercial	use. Myself

, Paul	Charbonnet owner and	manager	of	Atmosphere	Aerial,

LLC and	my	business	partner	Josh	Rogers	have	been	operatin g	and	building	RC	aircraft and	UAV	for	over	2	years	without incident. We	are asking that Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC

an d	its owners and	operator s of	a UAV, exempted	fro m	the	Federal	Aviation	Regulation
listed	below	so	that Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC may	operate	a UAV commercially	in	Class	G airspace	regulated	by	the	Federal	Aviation	Administration.

The	exemption	request	will	allow	Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC	to	operate	UAV

comm ercially	for	the	purpose	of	video	and	photography. By	having	this	exemption Atmosphere	Aerial	LLC	would	be	able	to	service	the	motion	picture	industry	of	Louisiana and	the	southeast	region	of	the	US.	With	this	exemption	we	would	provide	jobs	of	local peopl e	and	help	bring	a	new	technology	and	industry	to	Louisiana.	It	would	also	allow	us to	operate	during	emergency	and	disaster	recovery	efforts	and	in	hurricanes	and flooding. All	operations	by	4Prop	Production	will	strictly	adhere	to	safety,	applicable

FARs ,	Operator’s	Handbook,	and	all	other	guidelines	from	the	FAA. Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC will,	at	all	times,	conduct	operations	in	a	manner	as	to maintain	the	same	level	of	safety at	is	expected	of	full	sized	manned	aircraft

. We will
operate only in	controll ed	condition s,	within	visual	line	of	sight ,	at	altitudes	of	400	feet above	ground	level. UAV	that	Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC	will	operate	will	be	under	the weight	of	55lbs

. During	every	flight	Atmosphere	Aerial will	have	a lead Pilot	responsible
for maintain in g safe	operations and	meeting	every	FAA	rule

The rule s from	which we seek	the	exemption from

61.113(a)	&	(b) ; The	petitioner	requests	relief	in	order	to	facilitate	the	utilization	of	an experienced	UAS operator	with	the	addition	of	a	trained	observer.	All	pre

- flight inspection,	maintenance	and	flight	logs	will	be	saved	and	made	available	to	the	FAA	and Secretary	of	Transportation	(SoT)	for	review;	with	the	purpose	of	safely	integrating	civil UAS	operati on	in	the	National	Airspace	System.

91.119(c) As	discu ssed	in	Exemption	11138	(DOUGLAS	TRUDEAU),	operations	conducted closer	than	500	feet	to	the	ground	may	require	that	the	UAV	be	operated	closer	than 500	feet	to	essential	persons,	or	objects	that	would	not	be	possible	without	additional relief.	Atmosphere	A erial	requests	modification,	waiver	or	exemption	and	clarification concerning	the	terms “ congested	areas ” and “ densely	populated ”

. The	petitioner requests	waiver	for	this	condition	to	allow	reasonable	and safe operations	in	areas	of subdivisions	and	neighb orhoods as	required. The	petitioner will	primarily	operate	the

UAV between	ground	level	and	400	feet.	The UAV will	be	operated	over	designated

areas with	the	owner ’ s	consent	and	while	maintaining	a	safe	distance	from people

. We will	compile	flight	data	fro m	the	logs.	This	data	may	assist	the	FAA	in	development	of regulations	for	commercial	operations	in	low

- risk,	controlled	environments.

91.121 As	discussed	in	Exemption	11138	(DOUGLAS	TRUDEAU)	is	inapplicable	since	the
UAS	does	not	have	an	altimeter	and	i nstead	utilizes	electronic	GPS	with	a	barometric
sensor	for	altitude	information.

91.151(a) As	discussed	in	Exemption	11136	(ADVANCED	AVIATION	SOLUTIONS	LLC)	prior relief	has	been	granted	for	manned	aircraft	to	operate	at	less	than	the	prescribed

minimum s,	including	Exemption	Nos.	2689,	5745,	and	10650.	In	addition,	similar UAV specific	relief	has	been	granted	in	Exemption	Nos.	8811,	10808,	and	10673	for	daytime,
VFR	conditions.	The UAV provides	battery	power	remaining	in	percent	to	the	PIC.	The
UA	batter ies	provide	approximately	25	minutes	of	powered	flight.	Information	provided in	the	operating	documents	discusses	procedures	regarding	remaining	battery	power management.	Those	documents	contain	a	condition	in	which	the	PIC	will	initiate	a landing	procedur e	when	battery	remaining	reaches	a	specified	level.	Given	the limitations	on	proposed	operations	and	the	location	of	those	proposed	operations,	The FAA	found	that	a	reduced	minimum	power	reserve	for	flight	in	daytime	VFR	conditions
was	reasonable.91.405 (a) ;

_ 91.407(a)(1) ;

_ 91.409	(a)(1)	&	(2) ;

_ 91.417(a)	&	(b) As	discussed	in Exemption	11138	(DOUGLAS	TRUDEAU),	The	petitioner	proposes	to	inspect	and	ensure that	the	UAS	is	in	a	condition	for	safe	flight	in	accordance	with	the	operating
documents.	The	FAA	f ound	that	adherence	to	the	petitioner ’ s	operating	documents	and the	conditions	and	limitations	specified,	describing	the	requirements	for	maintenance, inspection,	and	recordkeeping,	were	sufficient	to	ensure	that	safety	would	not	be adversely	affected.

T he	UAS The	DJI	Inspire	1	is	a	highly	successful	consumer	grade	small	rotorcraft	in	the quadcopter	configuration	with	an	advertised weight	of	less	than	2935	grams designed primarily	to	carry	aloft	a	high	definition	camera.	It	has	an	advertised	maximum	spee d	of
less	than 23	m/s and	a	maximum	climb	rate	of 5 m/s).	It	is	powered	by	four	electric
motors	with	a	distance	between	motors	of	less	than 581mm .	It	utilizes	an	internal inertial	measuring	unit	(IMU)	with	integrated	barometric	sensor	augmented	with	global positioning	system	(GPS)	to	maintain	its	geospatial	orientation	and	position.	It	is controlled	primarily	through	an	FCC	certified	radio	control	(RC)	unit.	Real	time	video	and telemetry	information	is	transmitted	back	to	a	ground	control	station	allowing	t he operator	and/or	PIC	to	monitor	battery	level,	GPS	signal	strength,	altitude	(AGL), and
distance from	PIC,	camera	imagery,	and	control	camera	angle.	It	has	failsafe	modes	of operation	for	either	loss	of	RC	or	GPS	signal. The	onboard	flight	controller	can limit
altitude and	maximum	altitude	can	be	preprogrammed	by	the	PIC.	Battery	life	limits flight	times	to	approximately 15 minutes.	The	onboard	flight	controller	will	warn	the pilot	via	telemetry	and	external	lighting	cues	before	reaching	a	low	battery	sta te.	An automatic	termination	of	flight	and	landing	will	be	initiated	when	the	battery	reaches	a predetermined	low	state.	It	is	anticipated	that	flights	will	usually	last	less	than	12

minutes.

Risk	Reduction Atmosphere	Aerial	has	reviewed	FAA	exemptions	r eference ’ s	1

- 3 Conditions	and

Limitations section	and	believes	that	the	procedures	specified	therein	are	reasonable and	will	be	utilized	in	order	to	control	and	mitigate	risk	and	ensure	safe	operation	and safety	of	property	and	those	around.	A	preflight	ch ecklist		(attached)	will	be	exercised	to
ensure	that	the	UAV	airworthiness	will	be	verified	before	launch.	Airworthiness	will	be maintained	by the	pilot	and performed	in	as	routine	inspections before	each	flight, maintaining	flight	and	maintenance	logs	to record	time	on	failure	prone parts .	These
documents	will	be	made	available	to	the	FAA	and	SoT	to	assist	in	future use of	safety standards	and	regulations. Atmosphere	Aerial will	only	operate	the UAV over designated	properties	with	the	owner ’ s	consent.	Flig ht	plans	will	be	predetermined	to
limit	the UAVs flight	time	and to	reduce	safety	concerns.	Atmosphere	Aerial will keep	in
mind distance	from	persons	and	potential	flight hazards prior	to	operating	the UAV

. O peration	will	always	be	within line	of	sight	and o f	the	PIC	and	the	observer.Benefit	the	Public By	having	this	exemption	Atmosphere	Aerial	LLC	would	be	able	to	service	the	motion picture	industry	of	Louisiana	and	the	southeast	region	of	the	US.	With	this	exemption we	would	provide	jobs	of	local	people and	help	bring	a	new	technology	and	industry	to Louisiana.	It	would	also	allow	us	to	operate	during	emergency	and	disaster	recovery efforts	and	in	hurricanes	and	flooding. We	also	have	plains	to	team	up	with	local	schools in	teaching	UAV	safety	and	scienc e	behind	how	UAVs	work.

In	Summary Atmosphere	Aerial,	LLC	is asking	for this	exemption	for	the	purposes	of “ aerial photography,	cinematography,	videography,	inspections	and	other	flight	operations ”

. We are	asking	for	such broad	based	request for	the	purpose that	the Atmosphere	Aerial wishes to	utilize	a	business	strategy	of growing potential to	better serve	the	industry	and	the technology markets

. Atmosphere	Aerial ’ s goal	is	to	use	the	new and	growing technology to

secure	our place	in	the	market	so	we	maybe	able to	provide	for	our	families
