Re: Exemption Request Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulation from: 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H; 14 CFR 61.113(a) and (b); 

91.103; 91.105; 91.107; 91.109; 91.119(c); 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.405(a); 91.407(a); 91.409(a)

(1) and (2); 91.417(a) and (b). 

To whom it may concern: 

This document constitutes an exemption Request under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization 

and Reform Act of 2012, and 14 C.F.R. Part 11. Stefan Mitrovich Imaging, an operator of Small 

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) is seeking exemption in order to legally conduct business 

and comply with all Federal regulations and standards put forth by the FAA while operating 

our sUAS. We will be providing services to including but not limited the following industries: 

commercial and private real estate, architecture, marketing, short range inspection, 

surveying and mapping, agricultural, sporting events, oil and gas inspection, special events. 

Stefan Mitrovich Imaging’s requested exemption would permit the operation of sUAS under 

controlled and secure conditions that is: (a) limited, (b) predetermined, (c) subject to 

controlled access, and (d) provide greater safety in connection with aircraft operations. 

As established by the exemptions already granted by the FAA, approval of Stefan Mitrovich 

Imaging’s exemption would enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation’s 

responsibilities to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in 

the national airspace system.” Section 333(c) of the Reform Act. 

Stefan Mitrovich will be using the DJI Phantom 2,3, and Sensibly Ebee Ag.

• Both weigh less than 55 pounds, including the payload (i.e. camera, lens, and 

stabilizing gimbal) 

• Both operate at no more than 50 knots 

• The DJI Phantoms can hover, and can simultaneously move vertically and horizontally. 

• The Sensibly Ebee Ag glides linearly with an anterior propellor.
Aircraft and Equivalent level of Safety 

The operating limitations proposed by Stefan Mitrovich are as follows: 

• All flights will be operated within line of sight of pilot and/or observer 

• Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet 

• Before each flight sUAS will be calibrated, blades will be inspected, batteries will be 

charged, and a short test flight will be performed 

• Flights will be terminated when the battery reaches 25%. This will allow enough 

reserve time to land safely 

• Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet 

• Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUAS pilot, the Visual Observer, 

and the Camera Operator (only when the DJI Phantom is flown) 

• A briefing will be conducted, and all operators will be in attendance prior to flight. 

• The operator will obtain consent of all persons involved and ensure that only 

consenting persons will be allowed within 50 feet of the flight operation. 

• Observer and pilot will be able to communicate by voice and/or text at all times. 

• Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will be obtained. 

• All appropriate permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, 

county, or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other 

appropriate governmental agencies. 

• If the sUAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAS will have capability 

to return to a predetermined location within the Security Perimeter and land. 

• The sUAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies. 

As established by the sUAS exemptions already granted by the FAA, allowing commercial 

operations of sUASs in agriculture, real estate, inspection, surveying, mapping, and special 

events will enhance safety by reducing risk. Current methods use small aircraft, flying at low 

altitudes weighing in around 4,000 pounds and carry fuel (either Avgas, or Jet A). SUAs weigh 

fewer than 55 pounds and are powered by batteries. This eliminates virtually all of that risk 

given the small size and lack of combustible fuel.
