Dear Sir :

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 SkyHigh ATL , a Limited Liability company and the operator of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) 14 CFR 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), to the extent necessary to allow SkyHigh ATL to operate a UAS to perform aerial
i magery and data collection

.

You will find that my request is similar to relief previously requested, and the UAS proposed by SkyHigh

ATL , including the DJI Phantom 3 , has been approved in multiple Grant of Exemptions. The requested

ex emption would permit SkyHigh ATL to commercially operate UAS for the following purposes :

1 . Real Estate Promotion & Property Inspectio n 2. Emergency Services and Disaster Recover y

- Assistance with search and rescue operations in cases of an emergency or natural disaster or when otherwise approved by local authorities, government o r other agency in charge.
3. Public events, private events (e.g. reunions, weddings, etc.), tourism promotion, a nd news gathering. 4. Inspection and marketing of private facilities (e.g. golf courses, resorts, corporate facilities, etc.

5 . Infrastructure & Utility Aerial Inspectio n 6 . Construction Monitorin g

T he SkyHigh ATL mission, under the expertise and guidance of Jason L Miller , is to assist other industries and municipalities by providing safe and efficient UAS support. The uses of UAS to perform airborne photography and videography, as well as aerial i nspections and surveying, have two major benefits. First, small UAS are considerably safer than using manned aircraft in the previously mentioned tasks, and also reduces the fall risk of workers. Second, UAS allows the completion of many tasks at a fractio n of the cost using traditional methods

.

Granting this exemption is in the public interest because it will dramatically enhance safety, lower aerialinspection costs by making it more efficient and effective versus alternatives. SkyHigh ATL will conduct

o perations using the using the following UAS: DJI Phantom 3. The listed UAS is small, weighs less t han 25 pounds, and has advanced navigation syst ems , along with automated control features that enhance safety incl uding redundant failsafe settings, a Return

- to

- Home feature and battery voltage fail safes. The
UAS that will be used with this exemption has been previously approved in other Section 333 exemption
requests

.

The Pilot in Charge (PIC) and owne r of SkyHigh ATL , Jason Miller , is a licensed private pilot

– Certificate
number # 3659559 with over 250 hours in a Cessna 172SP

. Mr. Miller also has experience building and flying radio controlled fixed

- wing aircraft and multi rotors for hobby purposes utilizing the same style of controllers currently u tilized to operate UAS.

All SkyHigh ATL UAS operations will strictly adhere to FAA regulations with safety being the number one priority. All operations will be conducted via unaided visual line

- of

- sight, below 400 feet AGL and 5
nautical miles outside o f any controlled airspace unless the controlling agency gives express permission. Additionally, SkyHigh ATL will not fly the UAS within 3 nautical miles of a non

- controlled airport with instrument flight procedures, 2 nautical miles for a non

- controlled ai rport without instrument flight procedures and within 2 nautical miles of a Heliport with published flight procedures. Flights will be daylight only and maintain speeds less than 100 mph and VFR weather conditions of at least 3 miles of visibility from the ground control station

.

SkyHigh ATL respectfully submits a Section 333 Exemption Request, and believes it is in the public's best interest because the use of small UAS, in lieu of comparatively more expensive and hazardous rotary and fixed wing aircraft or other conventional manned methods of photography, video and inspection, greatly enhances operational efficiency and achieves a level of safety that is significantly higher with less liability.

Furthermore, SkyHigh ATL will assist other industries in t he safe application of UAS and promote the benefits of safe UAS operations. Approval of this exemption will enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation's responsibility under the section 333(c) of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of
2012 to establish requirements for the safe operation of such UAS in the national airspace system
