Additionally, operators must identify the make and model of the aircraft, as well as the proposed operation s. Generally, we do not need the aircraftmanuals to review your pet ition initially. Our team will contact you if any additional information is needed to process your petition. Please carefully revi ew the guidance found here http://www.faa.gov/uas/legisl ative_programs/section_333/ . I strongly recomm end you review the exemption the FAA granted to Aeryon Labs, and the other exem ptions that are refe renced within that. I also recommend you visit regulations.govand review the pet itions that were submitted by these operators. These provide a good set of references for you. Regarding exemptions, 14 CF R part 11 describes t he FAA rulemaking proce ss. Exemptions are considered rulemaking. Please review part 11 and also visit http://www.faa.gov/regulati ons_policies/rulemaking/for more guidance on this process. Part 11 requires that the petitioner identify the s pecific applicable regulati ons from which relief is required and describe how the operator will maintain an equivalent level of safety or no adverse impact to safety. Part 11 also states that operators should petition for exem ption approximately 120 days in advance of the planned o peration. The reference exemptio ns and petitions will help you understand this more thoroughly. Current statutes require that all aircraft operati ons in the National Airs pace System (NAS) be conducted by pilots holdi ng an appropriate airman certificate and for the typical operations conducted under Section 333 related grants of exemption, the FAA determined that they can be conducted safely by airman holding ai rline transport, commercial, private, recreat ional, or sport pilot certificates. The FAA cannot deviate from th is statutory requirement. For more information, visit: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certi ficates/airmen_certification/
