Extent ofand Reasons for ReliefSought
C & C, LLC intends to operate two commercially available Quadrocopter, Model Cinestar 8 for the purpose ofproviding flight demonstration and aerial work under the provisions of 14 CFR Section 119.1 (e)(4)(iii) Aerial photography or survey, and Section 119.1 (e)(4)(vi) Power line or pipeline patrol. C & C, LLC intends to offer commercial "aerial work" services utilizing UAS underthe exemptions to 14 CFR Section 135 granted under 14 CFR 119.1(e) as set forth above. Additionally, C & C, LLC pilot, Kristian Cortes, holds a Airline Transport Pilot Certificate No. 3226654 (Airplane Single & Multiengine Land, Instrument Airplane, Rotorcraft-Helicopter)

Public Interest and Benefit
The above "aerial work" services, normallyprovided in manned aircraft, may be provided with increased safety and at significantly lower cost in situations where the use ofunmanned UAS aircraft would supplement or replace the use ofmanned aircraft as a result ofsafety or economic considerations in certain applications where extended operational range and limitedtime aloft are not a factor. The proposed UAS operations will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack ofcombustible fuel when compared to larger manned aircraft, minimize potential ecological affects or damage, and promote economic growth by providing data information to individuals or companies requiring aerial survey or imaging data. Additionally, the growth ofthe UAS industry has precipitated a large influx of"recreational" UAS pilots without formal knowledge ortraining regarding the effects or potential danger ofUAS flight with the National Airspace System (NAS). While it is unclear what, ifany, pilot certificationrequirements will ultimately apply to UAS pilots operating for commercial purposes underthe final rulemaking process, there is a present need for training and dissemination ofthe applicable federal aviationregulations and flight characteristics ofUAS to the general public; specifically current and potential UAS operators. UAS flight and ground demonstration and instruction for compensation utilizing the current system ofcertificated flight instructors provides economic incentive to accomplish the public goal ofintegration ofbothrecreational and commercial UAS into the NAS while promoting safety and maintenance public awareness ofcurrentregulations affecting UAS operation.
Exemptions Provide a Level ofSafety Equal to or Greater than the Existing Level under Current Regulations
The use ofUAS operated underthe requested exemptions as set forth above have the capacity to operate with less risk ofaccident or injury and the associated loss ofproperty or life while performing the same aerial work services offered in manned aircraft in certain situations where extended operational range and limited time aloft
are not a factor. Likewise, UAS flight and ground demonstration and instruction for compensation promote and encourage the existing system ofcertificated flight instructors to participate inthe public educational process utilizing UAS rather than manned aircraft. Manned aircraft are at risk offuel spillage and fire inthe event ofan incident or accident. The Quadrocopter, Model Cinestar 8 carry no fuel, and therefore the risk offire following

an incident or accident due to fuel spillage is eliminated.

This petition for exemption does not propose an electronic means to monitor and communicate with other aircraft, such as transponders or sense and avoid technology. Rather the risk is mitigated byplacing limits on altitude, requiring stand-offdistance from clouds, permitting daytime operations only, and requiring that the UAS be operated within VLOS and yield right ofway to all manned operations. Additionally, the Proposed Conditions and Limitations provide that the C & C, LLC will request a notice to airmen (NOTAM) priorto operations to alert other users ofthe NAS.

C & C, LLC' UAS has the capability -to operate safely after experiencing certain in-flight contingencies or failures and uses an auto-pilot system to maintain UAS stability augmentation and control. The UAS is also able to respond to a loss ofGPS or a lost-link event withpre-coordinated automated flight maneuvers. These safety features provide an equivalent orhigher level ofsafety comparedto a manned aircraft holding airworthiness certificate (restricted or otherwise) performing a similar operation.

Federal Register Summary
C & C, LLC Exploration Company, including its chiefpilot Craig E Bryan, seeks exemption from the following regulations for the purpose ofconducting flight instruction and commercial "aerial work" flight operations utilizing Unmanned Aerial Systems ("UAS") as set forth under the provisions of 14 CFR Section 119.1 (e)(1) Student instruction, Section 119.1 (e)(4)(iii) Aerial photography or survey, and Section 119.1 (e)(4)(vi) Powerline or pipeline patrol:

Additional Information Offered in Support ofthis Petition for Exemption
C & C, LLC chiefpilot, Kristian Cortes, operated various manned aircraft, including fixed-wing for commercial purposes and rotorcraft recreational including aerial work. Additionally, Kristian Cortes has operated UAS vehicles for the past 10 years for non-commercial personal use in order gain flight experience and familiarity withthe operating characteristics and limitations ofthe UAS and its videography andphotography systems. As

a result it is believedthere are certain aerial work situations, where the range and time aloft limitations ofUAS
are not a factor, whereby aerial workmay be conducted with greater safety and less risk to persons orproperty
onthe ground while offering the same orimproved level ofaerial workproduct.

Manned aircraft platforms such as airplanes and helicopters often subject the occupants as well as persons and property on the ground to higher levels ofrisk for accident or injury even while being operated pursuantto all of the applicable federal aviation regulations.
I In the matter of Douglas Trudeau, Realtor, Regulatory DocketNo. FAA-2014-0481 2 Relieffrom this section is not necessary under the statutory criteriaprovided in Section 333 of P.L. 112-95 in reference to 49 USC Section 44794 given the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated withthe proposed UAS.

The Quadrocopter, Model Cinestar 6 and 8 and DJI innovations Model SlOOO, S900, phantom 3 pro and Hexacopter Align Model M690 UAS are both commerciallyproduced and widely available aerial videography andphotographyplatforms utilizing advanced GPS enabled stability augmentation and control systems including "failsafe" features allowing the operatorto manually take control ofthe aircraft orinitiate an automated "returnto home" feature inthe event ofadverse inflight events. The UAS also incorporates automated "failsafe" features to initiate "returnto home" or "auto-land" commands inthe event ofloss of control signal link or diminished battery output or capacity.

The manufacturer Quadrocopter, Aling and DJI innovations provides comprehensive operational and safety manuals for bothUAS and all flights will be conducted in accordance with the requirements and guidance issued inthese manuals.C & C, LLC states that§ 91.7(a) prohibits the operation ofan aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. C & C, LLC asserts that since there is currently no certificate applicable to his operation, this regulation is inapplicable. C & C, LLC states that§ 91.9(b)(2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft, however since there are no pilots or passengers onboard his aircraft and given its size, this regulation is inapplicable. C & C, LLC further indicates an equivalent level ofsafety will be achievedby maintaining a safety/flight manual with the UAS ground station.
