Dear Sir or Madam :

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the reform act) and CFR Part 11; ProArts Media, owner of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS ), request to be exempted from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) listed below so that ProArts Media may operate our UAS commercially in airspace regulated by the FAA., as lon g as such operations
are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as maybe established by the FAA as required by Section 333.

ProArts Media is a marketing company that specializes in videography and photography based
out of Chambersb urg, Pennsylvania. We have been in operation since 1989 providing these professional services to local, regional, and national based clients.

The UAS we currently operate with is a DJI Phantom 3 Professional . It’s primary uses are for video and photo cap turing as per contracted by clients for such things as real estate listings, promotional videos, marketing videos, events, landscape photography, magazine photography,

etc. We currently have 3 trained operators with several hours of flight research, experi ence, training, with our UAS. As with all of our equipment we ensure we know all aspects of its capabilities before using it on a shoot. The 3 operators that would also serve as the observers during a video or photography shoot would be Joseph Trace, Doug Huber, and Laura Schale. We would be the only 3 of responsibility for the UAS at any point and time.

It operates at a speed less than 50 knots and has the capability to hover and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. It has an auto re turn to launch point when battery power is under 25%. The UAS will operate within the line of sight with in a protected flight area
as described below and at 200 feet AGL or less with an observer located close at hand as to make voice communication possibl e. These operations will not create a hazard to users of the nation airspace, public nor the environment.ProArts Media respectfully request the grant of an exception to the following specific sections of
the Title 14 Code of Federal regulations allowing it to operate lightweight UAS for commercial use, 14 CFR 21, subpart H, 14 CFR 45.23 (b) 14 CFR 91.7 (a), 91

. 9 (b) (2) 91

. 103 (b), 91.109, 91.119, 91.121,91.151,(a), 91.203(a) &(b),91.405(a),91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)&(b).

ProArts Media submits this applic ation in accordance with the Reform Act ,112 P.L. 95 331

- 334, seeking relief from any currently applicable FAR'S operating to prevent ProArts Media future
commercial use of small UAS to operate in the national airspace system as described below.
The reform Act section 332 provides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft into our national airspace system as it is in the public's interest to do so. Please review the specifications of our UAS to see that it does meet the requirements of the exemption as listed below.

DJI Phantom 3 Professional weighs less than 55 lbs. and operate s at speeds less than 50 knots
and has the capability to operate in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. The UAS will operate only within the line of sight of the operator within a protected flight area and at 200
feet AGL or less. The DJI Phantom 3 Professional has a built in GPS enabled feature allowing advanced control options including a “Home” button for ease of landing but most importantly
incredible control while in flight with very little instability. These will not present a hazard to the national airspace nor the public.

The very small nature of these UAS combined with the safe guards presented below, will allow
for the safe operation greater than that e nvisioned by Congress for the FAA to establish and by exemption allow commercial operations of UAS to commence immediately. Also due to the size
of UAS and the areas and altitudes they will operate approval of this exception presents no national security i ssues and absolutely minimal safety concerns which have been mitigated through our rigorous risk management process. Given the clear direction given in Section 333 of the Reform Act, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended, the stro ng equivalent level of enhanced safety, reduced emissions utilizing UAS verses traditional aircraft as well as the economic impact of greatly reducing the cost of aerial photography thereby benefiting the greater public's interest. Accordingly, the applica nt requests that the FAA grant the requested exemption without delay.

The following will be incorporated to the Standard Operating Procedures and committed to
ProArts Media in use with our UAS

.

1. Flights will o nly occur during the day time hours
2. Flights will be operated in the line of sight of the operator and observer 3. Flights will be terminated at any time variables are presented that determine unsafe flight conditions
4. The UAS will weigh less than 55 lbs.
5. Flights will be op erated at 200 feet AGL or less

.6. Crew will always contain a minimum of an operator and an observer and/or camera operator
7. Operator and crew will remain in contact during the flight operation, 8. The UAS operator will perform a check of the flight area for all structures, persons, animals, vehicles and other objects for stability and safety prior to flight.
9. Consent will be obtained from all persons with in the video capabilities of the units to further reduce the chance of vi olating anyone's privacy. 10. All required FAA clearanc es will be obta ined and required distances f rom airports strictly observed by operator

. Locations will also be checked prior to any scheduled shoot to check distance from any known FAA regulated airspace.
11. “Return Home” Feature will be checked prior to flight to ensure sa fety during shoot in case of low battery or emergency landing deemed by manufacturer setting.
12. Our UAS has a display function on the control to tell operator the measurements of distance of height from the operator to ensure it stays within FAA regulated l imits. To be noted that the operated may also set a maximum distance perimeter, which is a feature of the DJI GO mobile application we use where the UAS will stop automatically once it has reached the maximum distance set. 13. The operator and observer will b e in constant communication during active flight.
14. ProArts Media obtains all consent from all clients, owners, property owners, personnel, or alike prior to any video or photography shoot.

We appreciate the time taken to read our exception request. We will provide any additional need information, data, or documentation at your request.
