amend this exemption. 

2. Operations for the purpose of clo~cd-sct motion picture and television filming are not permitted. 

3. The UA may not be opcrl!tCd at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use 

either groundspeed or calibrated ail'$pccd to detennine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will 

the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft 

manufacturer. 

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude oftto more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be 

reported in feet AGL. 

S. ihe UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the Pre to be 

able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC's FAA-issued 

airman medicill certificate or U.S. driver's license. 

6. All operations tnust utilize a visual observer {VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line of sight 

(VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC 

always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all time::;; electronic 

messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and 

cannot rransfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perfonn the 

duties required of the VO.

SIMILAR EXEMPTIONS 

Tiley ar·e similar in all/or many material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 

11109,) 1112, and 11213 

Public _Benefit and Safety 

Unmanned Aircraft System sUA Vs are often seen as superior to helicopters as an aerial video gathering platfonn due 

to the smaller devices cheaper equipment and personnel cost, reduced noise and as such, a much smaller 

environ·mcntal impact which promotes public safety. 

Walter Lee Downey, lll is petitioning for an exemption to operate a DJI Phantom 3 with a built·in stabilized HD 

camera and GPS safety features which limit its ability to limit the height it flies above ground level (AGL), to limit 

the radius ofthe distance it flies from the operator and to ClCcludc it from operation~ within de~ignatcd Class B, C 

and D airspace including a no-fly zone feature. 

The DJI Phantom 3 also has a failsafe function that is triggered in the event communication is lost between the sUAS 

and the main controller transmitter. At that time, the sUAS will return to its point of takeoff and land safety. lfthe 

connection is restored, the PIC can regain control of flight and land manually. 

These specifications meet with the Model Aircraft Operating Standards as set below: 

The petitioner will only operate its sUAS in line-of-sight of a pilot and/or observer and will operate at sites that arc 

'sufficient distance' from populated areas within the sterile area described in the FOPM. Such operation~ will ensure 

that the sUAS will "not Cl'l)atc a ha:;..ard to users of the national airspace system or the public." 

When llying the sUAS within three (3) miles of an airport, airport operators will be notified and the operator will 

give the right·of·way to avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Maximum flight time for each operation 

will be 30 minutes. 

FlighLs will be terminated when baltery levels reach 25%, allowing sufficient reserve flight time to safely land the 

sUAS. 

The slJAS will be programmed so it will not be operated at an altitude that exceeds 400 feet AGL, and not more 

than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which videography is planned. 

Minimum crew for each operation shall consist of: sUAS pilot, a visual sUAS observer, and the camera operator. 

The sUAS PIC will be an FAA licensed ainnan holding a minimum of a Private Pilot certificate and a current FAA 

medical certificate. 

The sUAS operated by the petitioner weighs le:;s than 25 pound:;, including all payload (i.e. camera. lens, and 

stabilized gimbal). 

The sUAS will operate at speeds of no more than 50 knots, can hover, and can simultaneously move vertically and 

horizontally. 

Given the small size of the sUAS and the restricted sterile environmcnl within which it will operate, Phantom 3 

operations adhere to the Reform Acl's safety requirements.
