By letter dated April 20, 2015

, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of New Heights Aerial Media , LLC (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an amendmen t to your current exemption . That exemption from §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal R egulations (14 CFR) allows the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. You requested an amendment to add the 3D Robotics Iris +.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this pe tition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. T he unmanned aircraft authorized in the original grant are comparable in type, size, weight, speed and operating capabilities to tho se in this petition

.

Airworthiness Certification

− 95 in reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited2

operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Sect ion 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator

Conditions and Limitations
