- 3075 Grussendorf	Nursery/	DronezWork	is seeking	exemption	to	operate	Unmanned Aircraft	Systems	for	the	purpose	of	aerial	image	for real	estate ,	special	events, golf courses, weddings	and	landscaping	in	areas within	the	United	States.
DronezWork will be providing clients with the knowledge of such equipment while submitting them with aerial photographs of there property to use for there industry as they se e fit. I currently have a landscaping business a nd the option to photograph landscaping jobs would be a useful asset to both the myself and the clients. **Equipment Yuneec	Q500	Typhoon**  **Payload	is	cgo2	high	definition	camera** I	am	seeking	this	exemption	for	the	Yuneec	Q500	series	Unmanned	System.	The Q 500	has	a	vertical	take	off controlled	by inputs	by	the	operator.	It	is	efficient	in small	maneuvers	with	an	extremely	reliable	“return	to	home”	function.	The	Q500	is guided	by	satellite	GPS	and	holds	position	within	+

- 3	inches.	The	Q500	has	a	max ground speed	of	no	more	then	15	MPH	and	a	take	off	speed	of	no	more	then	10	MPH. The	Q500	has	a	b attery	run	time	of	up	to	25	min	and	auto	land	is	battery	exceeds low	voltage.	The	Q500	has	4	main	electric	motors	with	warning	lights	on	the	ends.	I have	the	Q500	re gistered	with	the	Yuneec	California	Company. **Ground	Station ST10+**  The	ground	station	to	operate	the	Q500	Has	3	levels	of	flight. 1) Safety	mode **2)** Angle	Mode **3)** Return	to	home	modeThese	are	setting	used	by	the	operator	depending	on	there	level	of confidence,	experience	and	project	goals. The	controller	has	a	max	range	of	2000’	distance	and	1000’	altitude,	which can	be	configured	and	locked	to	meet	FAA	guidelines.		The	controller	al so utilizes	a	5.5”	Screen	with	a	5.8	grtz	down	link	so	the	image	can	be scene directly	at	the	operator’s	hands.	In	case	of	“Loss	Of	Link”	the	Q500	with automatically	return	back	to	home	position	until	connection	is	reestablished.
**GPS** The	Q500 utilizes multiple	satellites	to	pinpoint	its	location	and	maintain altitude	and	drift.	Along	with	the	GPS	that	is	in	the	ground	station	and	the GPS	in	the	Q500	this	is	the	most	reliable	connection	in	any	unmanned aircraft.
**Return	to	Home** In	at	any	point	if	the	operator	feels	that	there	is	a	safety	issue	with	either	his equipment,	himself	of	others	they	have	the	option	the	hit	the	“return	to home”	function	and	the	Q500	will	ascend	to	60’	and	begin	to	fly	back	to	the operator.	When	the	Q500 has	reached	10’	of	the	operator	it	will	begin	a	slow decent	at	approx.	3	MPH,	land	and	shut	down.	At	any	point	when	the	return to	home	function	is	activated	the	operator	to	take	control	and	maneuver	as they	see	fit. **Line	of	site	Flying**
With	the	work that	will	be	done	using	unmanned	aircraft	will	have	no	reason to	be	leave	that	flying	out	of	the	line	of	site	will	be	a	concern.	Keeping	a	close visual	of	the	Q500	is	important	with	the	performed	task. **Q500	powered	source** The	Yuneec	Q500	is	powered	by a	5400	mAh	Lithium	Polymer	battery	with	a run	time	of	approx.	25	min. **Vertical	Take	off/	landing** The	Q500	Has	a	vertical	take	off	along	with	a	vertical	landing.
**Maintenance** Q500	will	maintain	daily	inspections	along	with	inspections	log.	Daily	flight log	will	also	be	reordered**The	propose	of	seeking	relief	for	this	exemption	is	in	such	cases	the**

**photograph	methods	I	am	perusing	by	using	unmanned	Aircraft	is	a	safe alter**  **native	then	using	manned	aircraft.	The	operator	will	only	fly	for	a deration	of	25	min	at	a	celling	of	400’	or	less,	within	the	line	of	site,	and	will**  **terminate	the	flight	if	safety	to	others	is	a	factor.	The	aircraft	will	be	under	the regulation	55lb	weig** **ht	limit	and	at	no	time	will	exceed	that.**
