Re: Request for Exemption unde r Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from Certain Provisions of 14 C.F.R.

Robert Weber Photography LLC dba Weber Visuals

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Mo dernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Antonelli Law files this petition for exemption on behalf of Robert Weber Photography LLC dba Weber Visuals (Weber Visuals)

, an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UAs”) f or the commercial purposes of aerial photography and videography

. Specifically, petitioner seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed in Appendix A to allow commercial operation of its UA , so long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA in a grant of this petition. This request is substantially similar to dozens of other aerial photography and videography petitions previously approved, and should be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure.

Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow operation of the DJI Inspire 1 Pro for the proposed uses in Class G airspace nationwide, or as otherwise prescribed by an Air Traffic Organizat ion (ATO) issued COA. The UA covered by this petition have been previously approved for the proposed uses in the exemption grants identified in Section VII of the petition. The UA covered by this petition are small battery

- powered craft, weighing no more t han 7.7 lbs. (3.5 kg), inclusive of battery and payload. Operation of the UA under the strict conditions proposed below will provide an equivalent level of safety, as Congress intended, while still allowing commercial
op erations. Operations using this UA a re far safer than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed

- wing aircraft that weigh thousands of pounds, carry large amounts of highly flammable fuel, and operate in close proximity to the ground, trees, infrastructure, and people.

Congress directed the FAA to consider seven factors in deciding whether to approve Section 333 exemption petitions

- size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight . In this case, each factor supports the exemption re quest. In particular, the UA is small, and will operate at slow speeds and3 Table of Contents I. Publishable Summary

I. Publishable Summary

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed:

Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following rules:

14 C.F.R 21(h); 14 C.F.R. 43.7; 14 C.F.R. 43.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.27; 14 C.F.R. 45.29; 14 C.F.R . 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.103(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.105; 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 91.113(b); 14 C.F.R. 91.119 (c); 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 215; 14 C.F.R. 91.403; 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b) to operate commercially small unmanned aircraft systems (UAs) ( 7.7 lbs . or less).

Approval of the exemption requested by petitioner will allow comme rcial operation of the Inspire 1 Pro for the purposes of aerial photography and videography in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO

- issued COA. The requested exemption should be granted because operation of a small UA weighing no greater than 7.7 lbs. (3.5 kg), inclusive of battery and payload , conducted in the strict conditions outlined below, will provide an equivalent level of safety, while still allowing commercial operations. The lightweight aircraft covered by the exempti on are far safer than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed

- wing aircraft weighing thousands of pounds and carrying large amounts of highly flammable fuel, and operating in close proximity to the ground and people. The seven factors Congress directed the FAA to consider when approving Section 333 exemption petitions

- size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight

– each support the request. I n particular, the aircraft are small, and will operate at slow speeds, and close to the ground. The substantial increase of safety and decrease of risk to human life, coupled with the low risk use of UAs to conduct these operations, weigh heavily in favor of granting the exemption.

IV. Aircraft and Equivalent Level of Safety

Petitioner proposes that the exemption apply to UAs that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations proposed herein. These limitations provide for a level of safety at least equivalent to or higher than manned aircraft operations under the current regulatory structure. Section V below identifies the limitations and conditions to which petitioner agrees to be bound8

when conducting commercial operations under a grant of this petition. Append ix A contains a matrix connecting (i) the specific proposed condition with (ii) the FAR provision for which it provides an equivalent level of safety and (iii) one or more recent Section 333 exemption grants in which the FAA recognized this equivalent leve l of safety.

Approval of the commercial operations outlined in this petition presents no national security issue. The PIC will possess, at minimum, a sport pilot’s certificate . T herefore he or she will have been subject to security screening by the Depart ment of Homeland Security.

V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption

1. The UA, including battery and technical payload, will weigh no more than approximately 7.7 lbs. (3.5 kg).

2. UA operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purposes of aerial photography and videography in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO

- issued COA.

3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a PIC and VO.

4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more t han 400 feet AGL, as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL.

5. The UA will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 35 knots.

6. Minimum flight crew for each operation will c onsist of the UA PIC and a VO.

7. The PIC will possess at a minimum sport pilot license and either a third class medical certificate or a U.S. driver’s license.

8. The petitioner will not permit any PIC to operate the UA unless the PIC meets its qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UA in a manner consistent with how the UA will be operated under this exemption, including evasive a nd emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR §61.51(b). A record of the PIC training will be docum ented and made available upon request by the Administrator. Training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations will b e considered nonparticipants, and the PIC will operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.

9. The VO will not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions, and will not be permitted to operate the camera or other instruments.

10. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not be allowed to transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. Th e PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the functions prescribed in these conditions and the operating documents.9

11. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UA operations prior to each day’s activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties in connection with the operations be present for this briefing.

12. Prior to each flig ht, the PIC will inspect the UA , including the Ground Control Station, to ensure it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection revea ls a condition that affects the safe operation of the UA, the PIC will not operate the UA until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UA is found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenance and alterations will be properly document ed in the aircraft records.

13. Petitioner will conduct a functional flight test on any UA that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UA operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component. The PIC who condu cts the functional test flight will make an entry in the aircraft records.

14. The petitioner will carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the UA manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul,

r eplacement, inspection, and life limit requirements set forth in the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts will be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, descr iption of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UA to service. The authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections.

15. The U A will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses. PIC and VO will at all times be able to communicate verbally. The y will not be permitted to use electronic messaging or texting to communicate during flight operations.

16. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and prepare to land with at least 25% battery power remaining.

17. Actual total flight time for each operational flight will result in no less than a 25% battery

reserve.

18. The UA will have the capability to abort a flight in case of un expected obstacles or emergencies.

19. The UA will be programmed so that if it loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will return to a pre

- determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operati ng documents

20. If the UA and its radio control link disconnect during flight, the system’s failsafe protection will be triggered and the multirotor will return to home and land automatically, rather than flying off uncontrollably or landing at an unknown location.

21. The operating documen ts required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be maintained and available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UA any time the UA is operating.10

These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the exemption grant and the procedures outlined in the operating documen ts, the grant conditions and limitations will take precedence and will be followed. Otherwise, the petitioner will follow the procedures outlined in its operating documents. If it updates or revises its operating documents, it will present updated and revi sed documents to the Administrator upon request. If the petitioner determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the Petitioner will petition for an amendment to the grant of exemption.

22. Petit ioner will obtain written and/or oral permission from the landowners/authorized agents of the landowners over which flights will be conducted.

23. Petitioner will obtain all required permissions and permits from territorial, state, county or city jurisdiction s, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies.

24. UA operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights wil l not be conducted under special visual flight rules (SVFR).

25. The petitioner will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. Petitioner wil l request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 24 hours prior to the operation. All operations will be conducted in accordance with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA, including class of airspace, altitud e level and potential transponder requirements.

26. The UA will not be operated within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management has be en obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator’s COA. Any letter of agreement with the airport management will be made available to the Administrator upon request.

27. The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below, or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from, a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

28. All operations shall be conducted in Class G airspace or as otherwise prescribed in an ATO issued COA.

29. All aircraft opera ted in accordance with this exemption will be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N

- Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large as practicable.

30. B efore conducting operations, petitioner will ensure that the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UA complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements.11

31. The U A will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.

32. The UA will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle.

33. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 500 feet fr om all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless one of the following three conditions is met:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonpa rticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The petitioner will ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection an d are within 500 feet of the UA , the PIC will en sure that flight operations cease immediately. b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of o perating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard.

c. Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a).

34. Petitioner will report any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours. Petitioner will report accidents to the Nati onal Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

.

VI. Privacy

There is little concern that the proposed flights will cause invasions of privacy. All flights will occur over either (a) public rights of way where there is no expectation of privacy; or (b) over private property with permission of the landowner/authorized agent and consent of participating individuals.

If data collected is made available for public view, al l images containing uninvolved persons will be blurred or blacked

- out. No attempt will be made to identify any individuals filmed during the flights except in cases where they are trespassing upon or damaging customer property, or interfering with the peti tioner’s or its customers’ operations.

For more information concerning Weber Visuals privacy policy, please ref er to Exhibit 1: Weber Visuals Flight Operations Manual ; Section 6: Privacy.

VII. Public Interest and Safety

The planned UA use will increase ground safety for aerial photography and videography

. This type of data collection has previously been performed by manned aircraft or by individuals on the ground. Both are more time consuming and are more expensive than u sing UAs. Use of manned aircraft also poses enhanced risk to the pilot and onboard crew, who would be several hundred feet in the air.
The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using UAs and carrying12

no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater mass, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UA operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest.

Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012

– size, weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security

– provide more than adequate justification for the grant of the requested ex emption allowing commerci al operation of petitioner’s UA for aerial photography and videography pursuant to Weber Visuals ’ rules of operation.

The FAA has previously determined that using the DJI Inspire 1 family for aerial photography and videography is in the public interest in the following Exemption Nos.: Exemption No. 12220 (aerial photography, videography ); Exemption No. 12222 (aerial photography, cinematography, inspections and videography); Exemption No. 12224 (aerial photography, cinematograph y, videography); Exemption No. 12230 (aerial photography and videography); Exemption No. 12233 (aerial photography, cinematography, videography); Exemption No. 12241 (aerial photography, inspection, and videography); Exemption No. 12247 (aerial photography , videography); Exemption No. 12262 (inspection, documentation, videography and photography); Exemption No. 12270 (aerial photography and videography); and Exemption No. 12273 (aerial survey, photography, inspection and videography).13

http://www.dji.com/product/inspire-1-pro-and-raw [1/4/2016 12:17:59 PM] COMPLETE CONTROL

Use the Inspire 1 Pro or Inspire 1 RAW just like you would a camera, with a shutter button for stills and a record button for video built into the remote control. It also features a jog dial that allows you to change camera settings quickly, and customizable buttons for you to personalize. Plug the DJI Focus into the remote control to extend its reach as far as the Inspire 1 Pro or Inspire 1 RAW flies.

REMOTE FOCUS

Take control of your focus for the first time, and combine it with aperture control for another layer of creative freedom. Do you want to start on a shallow depth-of-field of your subject and then bring the background into sight? With remote focus control you can, with a tap of the screen inside the DJI GO app. Using the DJI Focus, you can even turn a dial just like you would turn a lens allowing for even
more refined control.
