### Dear Sir(s)/Madam(s): Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Actof 2012 ("Reform Act") 

### and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Naylor Solutions Inc., aTexas based company and the operator of a DJI Inspire 1 ("UA''), seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") 

### as listed and discussed below. Naylor Solutions Inc.'steam hasflown its UAS, for recreational purposes, for hundreds of hours without incident. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS are equipped to take aerial videography and photographyto enhance awareness for those individuals and companies unfamiliar with the geographical layout ofcertain areas and augment real estate listings and promote the use of certain real estate properties which provides an enhancementto academic research being performed in certain geographical areas 

### ("purpose"). Naylor Solutions Inc.'s exemption request will permitthe operation of comparatively inexpensive UAS in tightly controlled, predetermined and limited airspace. This airspace will include areas awayfrom general public, airports, heliports and vehicular trafficfor communityvideos, and within property boundaries for real estate listing videos and photos.

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174Currently, similar lightweight, remote controlled UAS are legallyoperated by unmonitored and untrained amateur hobbyists with no safety plan or controls in place to prevent catastrophic events. Naylor Solutions Inc. has safety protocols and controls in place to avoid and prevent public hazards as well as preventing the interference with manned aircraftwhich could cause a hazard orcatastrophe. This actsto enhance safety protocols unique to Naylor Solutions Inc.'s lightweight UAS being utilized specificallyfor real estate videography and photography. Naylor Solutions Inc. hopesto be able to record flight data and other information gained through permitted flight operations which maybe shared with the FAAthrough any required FAA reports to assist with the developmentoffuture FAA protocols and safety regulations. The use of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS for these purposes reduces the need to operate conventional aircraft, typically needed to perform these types of operations, provides an economic benefit to the business consumer as the Naylor Solutions Inc. UAS provides higher quality imagery at a fraction ofthe cost of aerial videography and photography using conventional aircraft. These savings result in notonly enhanced efficiency and productivityfor the affected activities but added environmental and safety benefitsto the public at large. As described more fully below, Naylor Solutions Inc.'s requested exemption would authorize commercial operations of aerial videographyand photography, using Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS, which will be operated undercontrolled conditions atan altitude of no greaterthan three hundred (300) feetAGL in airspace that is limited in scope and will have automated control features. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS will also be operated by an individual who has passed an FAA approved ground training exam, if required bythe FAA. As outlined below, the airspace in which Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS will operate within will be disclosed to the FAA in advance to flight operation. Finally, Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS will be used in lieu of comparatively hazardous operations nowconducted with fixed wing and rotary conventional aircraftwhich should reassure the FAAthatthese operations will achieve at least an equivalent level or greater level ofsafety. In the interestof economic efficiency and public safety, Naylor Solutions Inc. hereby respectfully applies for an exemption from the listed FARs to allow commercial operations of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS, so long assuch operations are conducted within and underthe conditions outlined herein or as may be established bythe FAA as required by Section 333.Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the SecretaryofTransportation's ("Administrator") responsibilities under Section 333(c) ofthe Reform Actto "establish requirements for the safe operation ofsuch aircraft systems in the national airspace system."

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174As discussed above and more fully described below, the requested exemption would permitthe operation ofsmall, unmanned and relatively inexpensive UAS under controlled conditions in airspacethat is limited and predetermined. Approval ofthis exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Administrator responsibilitiesto "
...establish requirements for the safe operation ofsuch aircraftsystems in the national airspace system." Please see Section 333(c) of the Reform Act.

### This exemption application is expressly submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 333(a) through (c) ofthe Reform Act. This law directsthe SecretaryofTransportation to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems mayoperate safely in the national airspace system (NAS) before completion ofthe rule making required under Section 332 ofthe Reform Act. In making this determination, the Secretary is required to determinewhich types of UAS do not create a hazard to users ofthe NAS orthe public or pose athreatto national security in light ofthe following:
•The UA's size, weight, speed, and operational capability; • Operation ofthe UAS in close proximityto airports and populated areas; and • Operation ofthe UAS within visual line ofsight ("VLOS") ofthe operator. Reform Act§ 333 (a). Lastly, ifthe Secretary determinesthatsuch vehicles "mayoperate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements forthe safe operation ofsuch aircraft in the national airspace system." ld. §333(c) (emphasis added).1 The Federal AviationAct expressly grantsthe FAAthe authorityto issue exemptions.This statutory authority by its terms includes exempting civil aircraft, as theterm is defined under §40101 oftheAct; that includes UAS, from the requirementthat all civil aircraft must have a current airworthiness certificate. TheAdministrator maygrant an exemption from a requirement of a regulation prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) ofthis section or any sections 44702-44716 ofthistitle ifthe Administrator finds the exemption in the public interest. 49 U.S.C. §44701(f). See also 49 USC §44711(a); 49 USC §44704; 14CFR §91.203 (a) (1). Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS are rotorcraft weighing lessthan five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg) including energy source(s), equipment and any payload. They operate, under normal conditions at a ground speed of no more than thirty (30) knots and havethe capabilityto hover, and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. The UAS will operate only in line ofsight and within safe operations. Such operations will insurethatthe UAwill "not create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system orthe public."3

1 Naylor Solutions Inc. interpretsthis provision to place the duty on the Administratorto notonly process applications for exemptions under Section 333, but for the Administrator to craft conditions for the safe operation of the UA, if it should be determined that the conditions set forth herein do notfulfill the statutory requirements for approval. 3 Reform Act Section 333 (b).

Naylor Solutions Inc.-24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174Given the small size ofthe UAS involved and the restricted environmentwithin which theywill operate, Naylor Solutions Inc. falls squarelywithin thatzone ofsafety (an equivalent level of safety) in which Congress envisioned thatthe FAA must, by exemption, allowcommercial operations of UASto commence immediately. Also dueto the size ofthe UAS and the restricted areas in which the relevant UAS will operate, approval ofthe application presents no national security issue. Giventhe clear direction in Section 333 ofthe ReformAct, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended; the strong equivalent level ofsafety surrounding the proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, including enhanced safety, reduction in environmental impacts, including reduced emissions associated with allowing UAS for aerial videography and photography operations, the grantofthe requested exemptions is in the public interest. Additionally, there is economic efficiency created with the use of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS as the typical costto perform aerial videography and photographywith helicopters and airplanes heavily multipliesthe costto business consumers and government agencies, including lawenforcement, forthe services which are to be provided by Naylor Solutions Inc
.. 

### THE EXTENTAND BASIS OF THE RELIEF SOUGHT BY NAYLOR SOLUTIONS INC. Naylor Solutions Inc. submitsthis application in accordance with the ReformAct, 112 P.L. 95 

### §§ 331-334, seeking relieffrom any currently applicable FARs operating that presently prevents Naylor Solutions Inc. from contemplated commercial video-graphic, photographic and other flight operations within the national airspace system. The ReformAct in Section 332 providesfor such integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into our national airspace system as it is in the public's interest to do so. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS meetthe definition of "small unmanned aircraft" as defined in Section 331 and thereforethe integration of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s ultralight weight UAS is expressly contemplated bythe Reform Act. Naylor Solutions Inc. would like to operate its ultralightweight UAS priortothe time period bywhich the Reform Act requires the FAAto promulgate rules governing such craft. Thereby, providing direct experience and valuable information forformal regulation that can be administered uniformlyto all real estate related UAaerial videography and photography. The ReformAct guidestheAdministrator in determining thetypes of UASthat mayoperate safely in our national airspace system. These considerations include: weight, size, speed and overall capabilities ofthe UAS; whether the UAS will be operated near airports or heavily populated areas and; whetherthe UAS will be operated by line of sight. 4Each ofthese items is favorable to the grantofan exemption to Naylor Solutions Inc
.. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS utilizefour (4) counter-rotating propellersfor balance, control and stability. Naylor Solutions Inc. UAS are equipped with GPS and auto return safetytechnology. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS weigh lessthan five (5) pounds including camera and gimbal assembly.

### § 333 (a).

Naylor Solutions Inc. - 24165 IH-1OW, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174Naylor Solutions Inc. puts safetyfirst when considering any UAflight. Naylor Solutions Inc's, small UAS are designed to hover in placevia GPS and operate in lessthan a 24 knot (27 mph) wind. In orderto increase safety plus stability and limit harm and financial lossof property, Naylor Solutions Inc. will notfly its UAS in winds exceeding 15 knots (17 mph). Naylor Solutions Inc.'s established safetysystems include a GPS modethat allows its UASto hover in place when radio controls are released. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS have three modesto choose from, Naylor Solutions Inc. utilizes the Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) Flight (with GPS & compass module)5 for aerial videography and photography. This mode isthe safest, most reliable and stable modeto prevent accidents and being a hazard to others. When pilot communication is lost, Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS are designed to return then slowly descend to the point oftakeoff. Naylor Solutions Inc. does not operate its UAS nearairports, hospitals, police heliports or news channel heliports. Naylor Solutions Inc. does notoperate its UAS in areas where general public is within fifty (50) to one hundred (100) yards depending on location, conditions and weather. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s pilots and observers are constantly on alertfor any manned aircraft and prepared to immediately abort and land the UAatthe nearest and safest ground point in the event a manned aircraft approaches orthe NaylorSolutions Inc. pilot or observer suspects a manned aircraft may approach the operating area ofa Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UA. Naylor Solutions Inc's UAS are capable ofvertical and horizontal operations, and are flown onlywithin my line ofsightofthe pilot. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAflights generally last fifteen (15) minutes with an altitude underthree hundred (300) and utilize battery power rather than combustible fuels. Naylor Solutions Inc. does notoperate its UAS belowthe manufacturer's recommended minimum charge levelsfor operation preferring to remain well within a safe operating range to insure adequate communication between radio control and the UAS to eliminate potential for crashes, loss of control or hazard. Fully charged reserve batteries are on hand with to insure replacementfor a sufficiently safe level of operation. Naylor Solutions Inc. operates veryconservatively and does believe in taking risks that maycause a crash orthat could create hazard to the public, property and manned aircraft. NaylorSolutions Inc.'s pilots have logged numerous practice flights in orderto simulate flights forfuture commercial useto gain familiarization with the characteristics ofthis specific UA's performance under differenttemperature and weather conditions. Naylor Solutions Inc. is extremely cautious when operating of its UAS and will not "create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system orthe public.''6 Given the small size and weight of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS, theyfall well within Congress's contemplated safetyzonewhen it promulgated the ReformAct and the corresponding directive to integrate UAS into the national airspace system. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS, utilized in hobbyflight, has a demonstrable safety record and do not pose anythreatto the general public or national security. 5 Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) Flight (with GPS & compass module) includes safe circle for operation, position hold, self-leveling, altitude command, GPS, return home feature, and safety control to return home or land in the event of communication interruption between RC transmitter and UAS.

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174NAYLOR SOLUTIONS INC.'S REQUESTWILL BENEFITTHE PUBLICAT LARGE



### Aerial videography and photographyfor geographical awareness and for real estate marketing and promotion has been around for a long time through the use of manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The challenge of smaller real-estate companies and average landowners is that the expense related to manned videography and photography is cost prohibitive. Typically, only large businesses, large high end real estate companies and high networth landowners are able to absorb such an enormous expense. This deprives non-luxury landowners and small revenue real estate companies from the enjoying the benefitofthis valuable marketing and promotional tool. Manned aircraft pose a clearthreatto the general publicthrough potential catastrophic crashes that mayoccur. The rear many documented events where a manned aircraft has crashed into populated areas with the size and combustibility ofthese manned aircraft causing large property damage, human injuries and loss of life. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS pose no such threat since size and lack of combustible fuel alleviates any ofthese potential threatto the public. With the passage ofthe Reform Act, Congress has already proclaimed that it is in the public's interestto integrate commerciallyflown UAS into the national airspace system. The grant ofthe exemption request by Naylor Solutions Inc. furthers the public interestthrough academic and visual awareness ofthe geographical benefits of certain areas and by making this cost effective alternative available to small real estate companies and the average landowner. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s ultralight UAS are battery powered and create no emissionsthat may harm the environment. In the unlikely event of a Naylor Solutions Inc. UA crash, the consequence is far less than afull size helicopterorfixed wing aircraft, which are heavy and contain combustible fuel, crashing and causing catastrophic devastation to the public. The public's interest is furthered as Naylor Solutions Inc. minimizes ecological and crash threat by permitting aerial videography and photographycaptured through Naylor Solutions Inc.'s battery operated ultralight UA's. Permitting Naylor Solutions Inc. to immediatelyflywithin national air space furthers not only public safety but economic growth. Granting Naylor Solutions Inc.'s exemption request substantiallyfurthers the economic impact for any community and for companies looking to relocate or build in a certain community as well as individuals looking to relocate to a communityfor career advancementthrough academic and geographical awareness provided by Naylor Solutions Inc
.. In the end, the granting ofthis exemption to Naylor Solutions Inc. will serve as a benefit and stimulusto any community.

**~** 210-336-0174NAYLOR SOLUTIONS INC.'S EXEMPTION WILL NOTADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETYAND WILL PROVIDEA LEVEL OF SAFETYAT LEAST EQUALTO EXISTING FAA STANDARDS 

### Naylor Solutions Inc.'s exemption will not adversely affect safety, as it will in fact enhance safety. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s abilityto log significant, controlled and monitored flight time in FAA controlled airspace will allow Naylor Solutions Inc. to contribute to the innovation and implementation of new, novel and undiscovered safety protocolsfor realtors that may be embraced bythe NAR2 through consistent and ongoing cooperation with the FAA. Additionally, the FAA may utilize the new safety protocols for the use of UAS in FAA controlled airspace for all industries. Naylor Solutions Inc. submits the following representations of enhancements to current aerial videography and photography:
• Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS weigh lessthan 5 pounds (2.26796 Kg) complete

with the camera and gimbal assembly;
• Naylor Solutions Inc. will only operate its UAS belowthree hundred (300) feet

which is well within the four hundred (400) feet ceiling having been established by the ReformActof2012;
• Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS onlyoperateforfifteen (15) minutes perflight;
• Naylor Solutions Inc. lands its UAS priorto manufacturer's recommended minimum level of battery power; • Naylor Solutions Inc.'s pilots operatethe UAS through Visual Line of Sight only;
• Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS have a GPS flight safetyfeature wherebythe UA

hovers and then slowly lands if communication with the pilot is lost;

### • Naylor Solutions Inc. actively analyzes its flight data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance its safety protocols;
• Naylor Solutions Inc. onlyoperates in reasonably safe environments which are strictly controlled and awayfrom power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas; • Naylor Solutions Inc. conducts extensive pre-flight inspections and protocol to ensure safety remains the primary concern;
• Naylor Solutions Inc. always obtains all necessary permissions from the FAA and landowners priorto the operation its UAS and;
• Naylor Solutions Inc. has established safety procedures in place to abortflights in the event of safety breaches or any potential danger. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s safety protocols provide a level ofsafety equal to orexceeding existing FAA rules. It is importantto note that absentthe integration of commercial UAS into our national airspace system, manned fixed wing airplanes and helicopters are the primary means of aerial videography and photographyfor community awareness and real estate uses. While the safety record of such helicopters is outstanding, there have been incidents involving loss of life as well as extensive property damage due to crashes ofthese manned aircraft and it is far safer and less expensive to operate a battery powered Naylor Solutions Inc.'s ultralight UAS to accomplish the sametask. The potential for loss of life is great diminished with a UA as Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS carry no people or fuel on board and the UAS are also very small and versatile which allows Naylor Solutions Inc. to avoid hazards quickly and safely. Accordingly, Naylor Solutions Inc. respectfully requests thatthe FAA grantthe requested exemption without delay. AIRCRAFTAND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

### Naylor Solutions Inc. proposesthatthe exemption requested herein applyto civil aircraftthat have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for at least an equivalent or even higher level ofsafetyto operations underthe current regulatory structure because the proposed operations represent a safety enhancementto the operations conducted with conventional aircraft. The FAA has noted in past exemptions that "Conventional aerial video operations, using jetor piston-powered aircraft present risks associated with aircraftthat weigh in the neighborhood of 5,000 to 7,000 pounds or more, carry large quantities offuel, passengers, and, in some cases, cargo. Such aircraft mustfly to and from the survey location. Please see FAA Exemption 11110.

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174These limitations and conditionsto which Naylor Solutions Inc. agreesto be bound when conducting all operations under an FAA issued exemption include: 1. The UAS will weigh less than five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg). 2. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be fifteen (15) minutes. Flights will be terminated atthirty percent (30%) battery power reserve should that occur priorto the fifteen (15) minute limit. 3. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than three hundred (300) feetAGL. 4. Minimum crew for each operation will consist ofthe UA Pilot and a Visual Observer ("VO"). 5. The UASwill only operate within a safe area. 6. Abriefing will be conducted with regard to the planned UAoperations prior to flight operations. It will be mandatorythat all personnel who will be performing duties with regard to the flight operations be presentforthis briefing. 7. The Pilot and VO will have been trained in operation of UAS generally and received up-to-date information on the particular UAto be operated and the UAwill be operated in conformitywith Naylor Solutions Inc.'s protocols. 8. The PILOT and VO will at all times be able to communicate via voice communication. 9. Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holder(s), ortheir authorized representative(s), will be obtained. 10. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, county or cityjurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies. 11. Ifthe UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAwill return to the launch site ofthe UA, or another more appropriate site, and land. 12. The UAwill have the capabilityto abort aflight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 14 C.F.R. PART 21. SUBPART H: AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATES 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (A) {1) Subpart H, entitledAirworthiness Certificates, establishesthe procedural requirementsforthe issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203 (a) (1 ). Given the size and limited operating area associated with the aircraftto be utilized by Naylor Solutions Inc., an exemption from Part21 Subpart H meetsthe requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 ofthe ReformAct. The FederalAviationAct (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 333 ofthe ReformAct both authorizethe FAAto exempt aircraftfrom the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximityto airports and populated areas ofthe particular UA. In all cases, an analysis ofthese criteria demonstratesthatthe UAoperated without an airworthiness certificate,
Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174

### in the restricted environment and underthe conditions proposed will be at least as safe, orsafer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The UAS to be operated hereunder is less than five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg) fully loaded, carries neither a pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusivelywithin a secured area. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations underthis exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both the operator, and underthe requirements and in compliance with local public safety requirements, to provide securityfor the area of operation as is now done with conventional aerial videography and photography. Lastly, application ofthese same criteria demonstratesthatthere is no credible threatto national security posed bythe UAS, dueto its size, speed ofoperation, location of operation, lack of explosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and inabilityto carry a substantial external load. 14 C.F.R. 

### § 45.23 (8). MARKING OFTHEAIRCRAFT The regulation requires: When marks include onlythe Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited," "restricted," "light-sport," "experimental," or "provisional," as applicable. Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the UAS will have no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the words "limited," "restricted," "light-sport," "experimental," or "provisional," may be placed. Given the size ofthe UAS, two-inch lettering will be impossible. The word "experimental," or anyotherterm as is so required, will be placed on the fuselage ofthe UAS in compliance with §45.29 (t). The equivalent level of safetywill be provided by having the UAS marked on its fuselage as required by §45.29 (t) where the pilot, observer and others working with the UAS will see the identification ofthe UAS as "Experimental."The FAA has issued the following exemptionsto this regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700,8738, 10167 and 10167A.

### § 61.113(A) & 

### (8): 61.133(A): PRIVATE PILOT PRIVILEGESAND LIMITATIONS; PILOT IN COMMAND; COMMERCIAL PILOT PRIVILEGES

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174AND LIMITATIONS: PILOT IN COMMAND Section 61.113(a) 

### & (b) limit private pilotsto non-commercial operations. Unlike a conventional aircraftthat carries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, the UA in this case is remotely controlled with no passengers or property ofothers on board. Section 61.133(a) requires an individual with a commercial pilot's license to be pilot in command ofan aircraftfor compensation or hire. Naylor Solutions Inc. respectfully proposesthat operator requirements should take into account the characteristics ofthe particular UA. Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS havevarious built-in technical capabilities that strictly limitthe potential for operation outside ofthe operating conditions setforth in the exemption application including a fly backto launch pointto terminate the flight. Since hobbyists are not required to have a pilot license, Naylor Solutions Inc. requests exemption for the need ofthe pilotto be licensed as a pilot bythe FAA.

• Detection of lost GPS or of insufficient satellites initiates an immediate return to launch location.
• Low power on the aircrafttriggers escalating alarms at 30% and 15%levels.
• The aircraft weighs lessthan five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg), fully loaded. Given these safetyfeatures, Naylor Solutions Inc. proposesthatoperators ofthe UAS should only be required to hold a private pilot's license and not a commercial pilot's license. Naylor Solutions Inc. notesthatthe FAA has found that safetyfactors permitted operation of UAS byoperatorswith these qualifications in the case ofoperations pursuantto public COAs where the mandatoryoperating conditions specified above are present. Please see Federal Aviation Administration, Notice N-8900.227, UnmannedAircraft Systems (UAS) Operational Approval, at20-21 (July30, 2013). The FAA hasthe statutory authority, granted at 49 U.S.C.§44701(f) to waive the pilot requirements for commercial operations. Given these conditions and restrictions, an equivalent level ofsafetywill be provided byallowing operation of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS without a commercial pilot's license, underthe conditions setforth herein. The risks associated with the operation of Naylor Solutions Inc.'s UAS (given its size, speed, operational capabilities, and lack of combustible fuel) are so diminished from the level of risk associated with private pilotoperations orcommercial operations contemplated by Part 61 with conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft), that allowing operations ofthe UAS as setforth above meetsorexceedsthe present level of safety provided under 14C.P.R. § 61.113(a) &

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174(b) and does not rise to the level of requiring a commercial pilot to operate the aircraft under §61.133(a). Sections 61.113 (a) & (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Because the UAS will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level of safetyofcurrent operations by requiring the PILOToperating the aircraftto have a private pilot's license ratherthan a commercial pilot's license to operate these small UAs. Unlike a conventional aircraftthat carries the pilot and passengers, the UAS are remotely controlled with no living thing on board. The area of operation is controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance. The level ofsafety provided by Naylor Solutions Inc.'s exceeds that provided bya single individual holding a commercial pilot's certificate operating a conventional aircraft. The risks associated with the operation ofthe UAS are so diminished from the level of risk associated with commercial operations contemplated by Part61 when drafted, that allowing operations ofthe UAS as requested with a private pilot asthe PILOT exceedsthe present level ofsafety achieved by 14C.P.R. §61
.113 (a) & (b). 14 C.F.R. §91.7(A): CIVILAIRCRAFTAIRWORTHINESS The regulation requires that no person mayoperate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. Asthere will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will existfor determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraft and the requirements for maintenance and use ofsafety check lists priorto each flight. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (B) (2): CIVILAIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL IN THEAIRCRAFT Section 91.9 (b) (2) provides: No person mayoperate a U.S. registered civil aircraft
... (2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 ofthis chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. The UAs, given their size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but becausethere is no room or capacityto carry such an item on the aircraft.

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174The equivalent level ofsafetywill be maintained by keeping at the ground control point where the pilotflying the UAS will have immediate accessto it. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Please see FAA Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565,95658, 10167, 10167A, 10602,32827, and 10700. 14 C.F.R. § 91.103: PREFLIGHTACTION This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety off light. As FAA approved rotorcraftflight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft an exemption will be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be provided. The PILOTwill take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation offlight. 14 C.F.R. §91.109: FLIGHT INSTRUCTION Section 91.109 provides that no person mayoperate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used forflight instruction unlessthat aircraft has fullyfunctioning dual controls. UAS and remotely piloted aircraft, bytheir design do not have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control boxthat communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptionsforflight training without fully functional dual controlsfor a number ofaircraft and forflight instruction in experimental aircraft. Please see FAA Exemption Nos. 5778K 

### & 9862A. The equivalent level of safety is provided as neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and bythe size and speed ofthe aircraft. 14 C.F.R. §91.119: MINIMUM SAFEALTITUDES Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119(d) allows helicopters to be operated at lessthan the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating the helicopter complies with any route oraltitudes prescribed for helicopters bythe FAA. As this exemption is for UAS that are a helicopter and the exemption requests authorityto operate at altitudes up to three hundred (300) feetAGL, an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As setforth herein, exceptfor the limited conditions, the UAS will never operate at higher than three hundred (300) feetAGL. It will however be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre- obtained consent.

### (a) Except as provided in § 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within itthe following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate
.... (b) No person mayoperate a civil aircraft unlessthe airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) ofthis section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed atthe cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. The UAS fully loaded weight is no greaterthan five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg) and is operated without an onboard pilot. As such, there is no abilityor place to carry certification and registration documents orto displaythem on the UA. An equivalent level of safetywill be achieved by keeping these documents atthe ground control pointwhere the pilotflying the UAwill have immediate access to them to the extentthey are applicable to the UA. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample ofother exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 10700.

### (2); 417(A) & 

### (8): MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS These regulations require that an aircraft operatororowner "shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E ofthis part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part43 ofthis chapter
...," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given thatthese section and Part 43 apply onlyto aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate, these sections will not applyto Naylor Solutions Inc
.. Maintenance will be accomplished bythe operator pursuantto the flight manual and operating handbook.An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because these small UAS are very limited in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areasfor limited periods oftime. If mechanical issues arise the UAS may land immediately and will be operating from no higherthan three-hundred (300) feet AGL. The operator will ensure thatthe UAS are in working order priorto initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person mostfamiliar with the aircraft and bestsuited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety.

Naylor Solutions Inc.- 24165 IH-10W, Suite 217-456- San Antonio, TX 78257 - 210-336-0174************ Pursuantto 14C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: Naylor Solutions Inc. seeks an exemption from the following rules: 14C.F.R. §21, subpart H; 14C.F.R 45.23(b);14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113( a) & (b);91.7 (a); 91.9 (b) (2);91.103(b);91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151 (a);91.203(a) and (b); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) {1); 91.409 (a) (2); 91.409 (a) (2) and 91.417 (a) & (b) to operate commercially a small unmanned vehicle weighing lessthan fifty-five (55) pounds (25 Kg) in its operations. Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operations of UAS in the purposes outlined above (or similar operations) will enhance safety by reducing risk. Conventional aerial videography and photography operations, usingjetor piston power aircraft, operate at extremely low altitudesjust feet from the object being photographed and often in extreme proximityto people and structures; and presentthe risks associated with vehiclesthatweigh in the neighborhood offour thousand (4,000) pounds, carrying large amounts ofjetA or other fuel (one hundred and forty (140)gallons forjet helicopters). Such aircraft mustflyto and from the site's location. In contrast, a UAweighing lessthan five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg) pounds and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all ofthat risk given the reduced mass and lack of combustible fuel carried on board. The UA is carried to the site ofthe purposes outlined above (or similar operations) and notflown to the site. The UAwill carry no passengers orcrew and, therefore, will not expose them to the risks associated with manned aircraftflights.
The operation ofsmall UAS, weighing lessthan five (5) pounds (2.26796 Kg), conducted in the strict conditions outlined above, will provide an equivalent level ofsafety supporting the grantof the exemptions requested herein, including exempting Naylor Solutions Inc. from the requirements of Part 21 and allowing commercial operations. These lightweight aircraft operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in a sterile environment and, as a result, are far safer than conventional operations conducted with turbine helicopters operating in close proximityto the ground and people. PRIVACY All flights will occur over private, controlled or approved propertywith the property owner's, or their authorized representative, prior consent and knowledge. The aerial videography and photography will be of structures and propertywhose owner, or authorized representative, has consented to the aerial videography and photography orotherwise have agreed to be in the area where aerial videographyand photographywill take place. The grantofthis exemption request will provide improved safety in all operations.

# INSPIRE 1 Maintenance Manual (V1.0]2015.2

To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, it is recommended that comprehensive maintenance be performed after every 200 flights or 50 flight hours. This manual is intend to help users maintain their aircraft and maximize its continued reliability.

I. Checking the Battery

1. Check the battery for damage and deformities. If

there are any signs of damage to the battery, stop using it and discharge the battery to 10% or below for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any reason. 2. Check the battery pins and rub them clean with an

eraser if any residue is observed. This will help to ensure a more reliable connection. 3. Check the metal battery power connectors for

damage. If the connectors appear burnt, try to clear them. This can be done by inserting a piece of sandpaper (1 mm thick) into the connectors to polish the metal. 4. Check the contact pins in the battery compartment to ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able to establish easy contact with the battery connectors and should not be bent. 5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear burnt, polish them with sandpaper. If there is serious erosion, send the battery in for repairs. 6. Check the plastic components of the battery bracket

to see it is in good condition and that all screws are secure. This prevents the battery from becoming loose during flight. 7. Check the power cables between the arms and the

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 8. For long term storage, please refer to the "Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the battery once a month to prevent the battery cell from being damaged. 9. Run the DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells are at similar voltage levels and stay at the same level when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain voltage levels above 3.7V but any cell is 0.2V higher or lower than the others, contact OJI for analysis. You can also check the battery cell warning history. If any warning are reported, contact DJI. II. Checking theTransformation System 1. Check the servomotor cables for wear. Also confirm

that the connection points are still in good condition. 2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Support

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is discovered. Clean the lead screws with WD-40 spray ifthey show signs of rust. 3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation,

if there is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the servomotors worn. 4. After the landing gear rises, check the lead screws

and bearings. If any dirt or dust is found, clean and greasethe bearings. 5. Check the lead screws. If there is any scratches,

dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact OJI Supportto arrange repairs.

Ill. Checking theAircraft 1. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately

tightened. 2. Check the aircraft for breaks or damage. If there is any reason to believe that detectable damage might affectflight safety, consult with OJI Support. 3. Checkthe carbon tubes ofthe arms for damage. 4. Checkthe dampers on the landing gears. If they are loose, secure them with 502 glue. 5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the GPS module or around the antennas on the landing gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with conductive material) that might affect or block the signal. 6. Checkthat the right and left landing gear rest at the same tilt angle.

© 2015 OJI. All Rights ReservedIV. Checking the Motors 1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have not

become loose. 2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen carefully. If there is any abnormal noise, please replace the motors. This may be a sign that the bearings have been worn out. 3. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Carefully examine the edge of the rotor and confirm that the shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If any problems are detected, contact DJI Supportto order replacement motors. 4. Check for deformities by confirming that the gap between the motor and motor base is even. If not contact DJI Supportto order replacement motors. 5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor base are tight and the plastic components around the motors are in good condition. If not please tighten the screws and contact DJI to repair any broken plastic components.

V. Checking the Propellers 1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending, breakage or cracking on a propeller, do not use it. 2. Attach the propeller to the motor, turn on the aircraft, and place it on the ground. Stand 1 meter away from the aircraft and observe the rotating propellers. Ifyou can see two distinct propeller outline layers, when looking at a spinning propeller from the side, this propeller is damaged and should not be used.

VI. Checking the IMU 1. Open DJI Pilot app to check the condition ofthe IMU

and perform an advanced IMU calibration. Please place the aircraft in a cool environment and on a flat, stable surface (if the landing gear is damaged, support the aircraft with four objects of equal height). Do nottouch the craft during the calibration. 2. Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise or vibration from the fan located on the front of the aircraft. If any irregularity is detected, replace the fan.

VII. Checking the Control and Video Transmission System 1. Checkthe 4 antennas on the landing gear to ensure

that they are secure. Also check for any bending or damage. 2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for damage 3. Check the neck strap for damage or wear, replace if necessary. VIII. Checking the Gimbal and Camera 1. The quick-mount connector for the camera is a

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal fails to initialize when turned on, fails to work after initialization, or fails to transmit video to the app (while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount connector may be worn. In this case, replace the rubber mat, circuit board, and/or connector on the gimbal quick-mount. 2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount connector board, if any contact is bent, replace the quick-mount connector. 3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount connector board, if there is any dirt, rub it clean with an eraser. If any contact pins are worn out it should be replaced. 4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 5. Listen for any abnormal noise from the fan when the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual vibration and the fan should be replaced.

IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 1. Check the lens of the camera. If any dirt or residue

is detected, gently clean the lens. 2. Check for and remove objects that might block the sensors. 3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely installed on the aircraft. 4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is active, the Vision Positioning System should function normally.

These includewind speed exceeding 1 Om/s, snow, rain, smog, heavywind, hail, lightning, tornado or hurricane. 2. Do notusethe aircraft in dustor sandstorms. 3. Fly in open areas, as tall buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass

and blockthe GPS signal. 4. Keep the aircraft away from obstacles, people, animals, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of

waterwhen in flight. 5. Avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment. Make sureto turn offthe

Wi-Fi on your mobile device. 6. Do not fly near areas with magnetic or radio interference. These include but are not limited to: high

voltage lines, large scale power transmission stations, mobile base stations and broadcasting towers. Failing to do so may compromise the transmission quality of this product, cause remote controller and video transmission errors may affect flight orientation and location accuracy. The aircraft may behave abnormallyorfall outofcontrol in areaswith too much interference. 7. Pmode is unavailable in polarzones. Users can useA Til mode instead. 8. Do notflythe aircraftwithin no-flyzones specified by local laws and regulations. 

### Flight Warnings

1. Return to Homewill notwork ifthe GPS signal is insufficientor GPS is not active. 2. Press the RTH Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point instead of

turning offthe remote controller. 3. Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 4. Makesure to alwaysflythe aircraftwithin the transmission range ofthe remote controller. 5. When updatingthe Home Point, do not blockthe GPS signal ofthe remote controller and ensure the new

Home Point is correctonthe live map. 6. Do not update the Home Point near tall buildings, as the GPS may be blocked and lead to an incorrect

location being stored. 7. Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by

the weather, the environment, or any nearby magneticfields.

. When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may

pushthethrottle upward to hoverthe aircraftand navigate itto a more appropriate locationfor landing. 2. When battery warnings are triggered, please bring the aircraft back to the Home Point or land to avoid

losing powerduringflight.

1. The Vision Positioning System cannot work properly over surfaces that do not have pattern variations.

The effective altitudeforVision Positioning Systemtofunction correctly is lessthan 2.5 meters. 2. Vision Positioning System maynotfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater. 3. Vision Positioning System may not beableto recognize patternsonthe ground in low lightconditions (less

than 100 lux). 4. Keep your pets away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning System is activated, as the sonar sensors

emit highfrequency sound that is only audibleto some pets. 5. Note thatVisual Positioning System may notfunction properlywhenthe aircraft isflying too fast ortoo low. 4
