Petition for Exemption Luis Lopez Luis Lopez Photography & Video 4102 Ida St Longview, TX 75605 LongviewTx. July 9th 2015

I, Luis Lopez, hereby submitthis petition for exemptionunder Section 333; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, Public Law 112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333. I request this exemptioninorderto operate myUAVIUAS, DJI Phantom 2 Professional Quad copter Aircraft, in orderto provide services for profitto include aerial photography, aerial cinematography, aerial filming and photography for real estate, construction firms, aerial mapping, special events to include butnot limited to weddings, private orpublic parties/events, business advertising, promotional events, geological surveying, and environmental studies. The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals inmy community will benefit them by opening up opportunities they otherwise did nothave before. Traditional methods ofaerial photography/videography are simply notviable options for the average consumer as they are costly and involve greaterrisks to everyone involved; i.e. the use oflarger aircraft carryinghumans andflammable fuel. Byutilizing the UA VIUAS the same results canbe achieved withmuch safer conditions. Priorto each flight/operation ofthe UAVIUAS, I will conduct a Pre-Flight Safety Inspection. Onlythe manufacturers authorized repair facilities/ providers will perform any and all repairs. Flights will not takeplace over densely populated areas orprivateproperty withoutthe owner'spermission. The UAVIUAS will onlybeoperatedwithinvisual line ofsight and will notbe flown near airports or above 400 feet. The FAAcanbe confident that operations ofthis UA VIUAS will achieve at leastthe equivalent orgreater level of safety. Therequests ofthis petition are similarto those of
