### Request for exemption under 14 CFR § 11.81 I am amending m y original comment once again. I missed part of the required content when I originally petitioned for this exemption.

 I would like to be exempted from the 500ft. from object or persons rule. I w ill be fly ing a small 3dr solo quadcopter equipped with blade guards, backup return
- to - home position parameters, and a level of experience and skill to safely

fl y said vehicle.  I would like to fly

over private property

when given permission to capture phot o and video data, thermal images, etc. I will not fly over other properties in order to get the images and data I need. Ihave a wide angle lens attached to the camera which will allow me to fly in close proximity to whatever I need to capture. Others use normal angle lenses for a higher quality image, but this causes them to fly further away

to get a good angle and may endanger aircraft or people.  I do not plan to fl y at night and do not need exempted from that rule at this time. **Some of the reasons my s UAS is safe** 

 It is less than 4lbs when equipped with camera and fly ing.  It has GPS functionality which allows it to be very stable in flight.  There is a backup to loss of radio connectivity where it will climb to 150ft. and return to the point of take off and descend slowly until it lands or regains signal. The 150ft. was chosen to clear obstacles such as trees or tall houses or other objects. This amount can be adjusted to any amount as I see fit in the case there was a higher object to clear.  3D Robotics has a very low amount of crashes or fly
- away s compared to other leading manufacturers.  The batteries are a “smart” battery that alway s lets me know the condition of. I also keep a log of charge cy cles in order to calculate the health of the battery based of flight and charge times. This allows me to only fl y with healthy batteries and not use excessive risk when fly ing due to a likel y battery failure.  It runs on dual ly

nux computers for redundancy . It also has separated the flight computer from the autop ilot so that if there is a catastrophic failure with the flight computer, the autopilot will guide the multi
- rotor back to the point of take off as described earlier. **Some of the reasons I will be a safe operator**

 I have flown R/C planes, helicopters, and multi
- rotors since 1999.  My Academ y of model aeronautics # is 8433. It has been shortened due to the fact that I am a contest director for R/C related events. I was chosen to do this for my

experience, safe practices, and knowledge of the hobby
. I have be en trained by Sky Op to fl y multi
- rotors and instruct a class on them.  I currently

teach a class on sUAS. Iknow all the rules of being safe and use them on a dail y basis in order to teach my students best practices.  I alway s use a flight observer when fl yi ng, even if I’m not performing an y kind of FPV flight.  I have a safet y check list that Ifollow each and every time I fl y m y multi
rotor.  I will establish a flight plan if the exemption is granted for each of m y flights. I will log each flight with gps dat a to a computer with a backup server.  I have a current medical. **Reasons why my services will benefit the public as a whole**

 I am an advocate for this ty pe of technology

and through m y safe practices, others will hopefully follow suit and take necessary classes or pursue proper training to improve their skills and lessen their chances of a catastrophe.  I hope that though m y experience I will gain the necessary skills to perform tasks that were too difficult or impossible before for emergency responders, law enforcement, etc. I full y plan to donate my time and skill to those institutions if Iwere ever asked. I have already been in communication with an Oklahoma City Major on the Firefighter force regarding training for their personnel when the legislatur e opens that possibility
.  I plan to eventuall y take thermal images of homes and buildings to help the owner become more efficient with their utility heating and cooling bills; this will impact the environment and community by lowering energy use and the re lease of green house gases. **Reasons why my exemption will be as safe as before exemption**

 By making the rules so strict that I cannot do this, it will open up the possibility

that others that are far less qualified and experienced will take to the sky s and respond to the demand that is out there for this kind of footage currentl y.  I have been in communication with several realtors regarding m y future services and they

say they are already

receiving these ty

pes of jobs by those that are not exempted and do not plan to, they are just skating through carefully

and not getting caught. They have told me they

would prefer to have me do it once I am exempted and legal. This would get some of the more dangerous operators out of the national airspace. **Brief summar y publishable in the Federal Registry** I, Shane Sny der, want to be exempted from the rule stating no flight shall happen

within 500ft. of an individual(s) or structure. I plan on using m y 3DR Solo quadcopter to take video and still pictures for real estat e use. I will use my multi
- rotor in a safe manner as stated in the faa guidelines and rules. I will also exceed many of the rules. Inever plan to exceed 200 ft agl. and will likely onl y regularl y fly

as high as 100ft. agl. I plan to do this commercially and will contact the tower and get permission when fl yi ng within 5 miles of an airport. I understand airspace classifications and airspace regulation greatl y. Thanks for your time, I know this was a great long list to go along with my other comments.
