Ill. DESCRIPTION OF FLAMINGO AIR, AND ITS SERVICES Flamingo Air, along with its subsidiaries, Flamingo Flight Academy and Airline Ground Schools, is**<Q>~bliCl** entity that provides, among other things, education and training for unmanned aerial vehicles to users ranging from recreational user to public entities. Flamingo Air's main priority isto promote safety in the national airspace. Our courses train recreational users and emergency services personnel about how to obey the FAA regulations, how to join the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), how to operate a drone, and how tobe sure that all safety standards are being met. Flamingo Air partners with

public entities to ensure they follow FAA regulations to obtain permission to utilize PHANTOM 3 quadcopter during the course of their operations and then to also provide them with training to ensure safe use while minimizing risk to persons and property. The company is headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, and serves customers globally through its campus's in Cincinnati, Miami and Dubai. Currently, Flamingo Air's UAS training courses utilizes DJI product lines with particular focus on the DJI

Phantom 3 Professional. Flamingo Air's main focus isto make sure that new drone operators are being safe and understand the FAA laws and safety regulations. Additionally, demonstrate Operational Control of their UAS platform. Currently, in most regions, aspiring drone operators have little orno options on how to learn tofly UAS's. Our training courses are conducted from an FAA accredited Part 61 and Part 65 flight/dispatch school atan affordable price for new drone operators. This training will address all safety issues identified inthe aerospace industry. We need the 333 Exemption so that we can continue to educatedrone operators on how tobe safe. The FAA tells all operators tobe trained, but most new drone operators cannot finda location tobe trained. Flamingo Air fixes this. We will conduct our training to meet FAA standards and in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations. These courses can be modified to meet FAA inputs or updates to cover additional topics that the FAA deems important. We need to make itless easy for drone operators to "play dumb" and offer reasonable training courses. Flamingo Air's curriculum is based ona stages comprised of varying training segments. Students are expected to take an Introduction (Levell) course which comprises ofa THREE (3) hour lecture, before ever flying their drone. Then, the students go home to practice and complete our "homework" where they gradually build up their proficiency on the drone platform and drone capabilities. The student then comes back for Beginner (Level 2) training. This isa TWO (2) hour lecture course followed bya handson lab. The primary learning objective is focused on setting different flight modes with the drone. This process continues until they demonstrate operational control. Each course provides detailed information about Pre-flight Planning, Emergency Procedures, Safety, and the current Regulations. Students will logallof their flight time in their personal logbook. Students must also demonstrate the appropriate level of proficiency before advancing to the next course. We look toseta standard to ensure that every drone operators has the same level of knowledge, training, and understanding for the FAA airspace environment. At present, Flamingo Air has FOUR (4) Executive Officers. The contact information for the petitioner, Flamingo Airisas follows: David MacDonaldPresident Flamingo Air

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED OPERATIONS Flamingo Air,is requesting exemptions from applicable Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) pursuant to

Section 333 of the Reform Act to perform new user UAS training to persons or organizations that employ the DJI series quad-copter. Flamingo Air's training sessions are provided to ensure (l)public and worker safety; (2) safe, new methods to effectively employ DJI quad-copters; and (3) ensure operators employing DJI quad-copters are fully aware ofall FAA governing regulations and maintain operational control. The exemption will enhance safety by reducing risk to the operator, the general public and property owners from the substantial hazards associated with new drone operators. Currently, there have been numerous reporting's of incidents involving small unmanned aerial systems (UAS). These have created considerable anxiety for local public communities and the FAA in general. Flamingo Air will use the latest information leveraging its skills resources and the FAA's website www.knowbeforeyoufly.com to make sure that UAS operators are aware ofall safety controls and FAA regulations. Flamingo Air recognizes the enormous potential of UAS but also recognizes the need for due diligence and responsibility on the part of the persons that will fly the UAS safely inthe National Airspace System(NAS) with respect to manned aircraft. Flamingo Air will assist with the integration of UAS into the NAS by educating and training operators on this new technology. Flamingo Airis seeking this exemption to ensure that users ranging from recreational to public entities have a reasonable option for

receiving training ona UAS/Drone platform. Flamingo Air's classes are taught ina step-by-step progression where the user has indoor instruction accompanied by outdoor flight training labs. Itis based ona hybrid civilian and military model of classroom instruction, trainer demonstration, and user hands on performance. Understanding and proficiency is determined by knowledge and proficiency testing. Instruction includes the following:

• FAA regulations. • Limitations and restrictions of where and when users can fly. • Pre-flight planning. • Basic weather. • Liability of flying irresponsibly. • Pre, during, and post flight check lists. • Benefits of Academy of Model Aeronautics membership. • Details user types to include commercial, public, and recreational. • Provides information onnofly zones and how to identify them.• Review of knowbeforeyoufly.com. The training sessions will take place in various locations throughout the United States. The sites are publically owned and are reserved to accommodate UAS training. The training sites are located in small parks and training takes place over terrain free of any persons or property. Training is conducted at TWO HUNDRED feet (200ft) Above Ground Level (AGL) or below. Beginner ( Levell) training limits the UAS height to 100 feet. Level II training limits flight heights to 200 feet. The three sites will focus on UAS flight training that trains operator agility and control of the aircraft. The satellite imagery of each site included below confirms that absence of buildings while security at the site during training will include a clearly marked off training area. See figure 1.

••" .) ..**::~~** Figure 3 -DJI PHANTOM The UAV/UAS/UA which Flamingo Air, The petitioner, will be operating isthe DJI Phantom 3 Professional, referred hereafter as Phantom. The inherent safety features, sophistication, programmability, GPS navigation, return home capability, airport vicinity no-fly feature and restricted altitude feature, as well as differentiating radio frequency (H) for aircraft controller/receiver and for the camera make thisa much safer UAS for the purposes of this petition. This isa hobby grade radio controlled UAS that has the capacity for software upgrades. Itis light, less than 3 pounds including battery and camera. Incorporated into the programming ofthe Phantom isan automatic return home feature that automatically directs the aircraft back to point of take-off should communication with thetransmitter be compromised. The Phantom hasa cruising speed of15 knots, with a maximum speed of 25 knots. Maximum flight time is25 minutes. Gross weight is 2.75 pounds. The Phantom has an additional communication link between the camera and aircraft ona different RF fora smart phone connection. Allowing the Operator or Pilot in Command (PIC) to monitor battery level, altitude (AGL), and distance from PIC, camera imagery, and control camera angle. The software for

the Phantom allows the operator or PICto set maximum altitude AGL for each flight, allowing customization of flights tono higher than 100 feet, 150 feet, or 250 feet AGL asan examples. The 400 foot maximum AGL is programmed into the UAS's software preflight to insure compliance with FAA standards. Adding to the safety capabilities of this UAS. This UAS is programmed to remain in position (stop all motion) when controls are released. Maintaining altitude and GPS location.

The Phantom has an altitude and radar monitoring function that allows the operator more precise determination of height, direction of flight and distance from the operator PIC. The operator or PIC can monitor GPS lock status while UAS isin flight, with the ability to anticipate loss of GPS locking so the operator or PIC can land the UAV asa precaution. The DJI Phantom 3-2.4 ghz transmitter/controller/receiver RFfor managing flight with a5.8 ghz RF transmitter/receiver for video/photography functions eliminates the RF conflict, andis should be considered adequate for public and NAS safety. Considering the programmability and safety features of this UAS (Phantom 3),it serves as the best option to protect the Public and NAS for the purposes of this petition. Similarities, Distinctions and Differences

Though the petition of Astraeus Aerial (FAA-2014-0352), referred hereafter as the Astraeus Petition and or Petitioner Astraeus, has numerous similarities to that of Flamingo Air, there are some distinct and substantial differences. Like the Astraeus Petition, the Flamingo Airisfor UAS operation without operator, passengers nor property on board. Considering that the Phantom UAS isa sophisticated hobby grade quad-copter with gross weight less than 3 pounds Petitioner Flamingo Air requests waiver or exemption fora private pilot certificate. Aerial basic training operations for this petition provide service for those that are new to the remote control model aircraft genre. Flamingo Airis using aUAS that has the capability for taking off and landing ata single point, identical to a helicopter. There are no runways, aided take off apparatuses, nor routes that need tobe flown to areas being aerial video recorded or photographed. Allowing a reduced and more confined area of flight.

The Astraeus Petition isfor movie sets involving a significant number of people, non-aerial equipment, moving or action sequences, anda potentially broad geographical area where individuals and equipment may bein motion. Requiring extensive observation, awareness, coordination and safety precautions. The Flamingo Air petition isfor the basic training of new Phantom owners that are confined toa designated flight area and restricted toa defined training area and training altitude. The stationary setting of objects poses a significantly lower risks for safety, allowing the Operator or Pilot in Command (PIC) to focus primarily on the student and the aircraft. With the movie action scenes, numerous takes may require repeated flights, whereas a stationary object would in most cases require a single flight.DJI Innovations continues to improve its' products to ensure safe flying near airports. Refer to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoXAMRQoiAA. Training sites will be clearly marked and identified (see Figure 4). Signs will be posted cautioning anyone within vicinity to remain back a minimum of 100 feet (see Figure 5). Observer(s) to assist and warn/advise the PIC will be utilized in situations where spectators may be within 100 feet of the flight area. Training Area ••**~·** s**~:** •• 10'•ls BUFFER ZONE !

Figure 4 Training Site LayoutFigure 5 Caution Sign The single UAS utilized in this petition isa hobby grade quad-copter that does not require an airman certificate for non-commercial flight involving less restrictive less regulated flight. Petitioner requests waiver or exemption from an airman certificate since thisisa sophisticated hobby grade UAS weighing less than three pounds and being flown ina defined and marked area. Additional waiver or exemption for formal health requirements placed on the Operator or PICis requested as the PICisan FAA Certified Flight Instructor that is medically qualified FAA Second Class Medical in accordance with FAA regulations. Petitioner isan AMA member. UAS flight competency can be verified/obtained through AMA standards and procedures.

The motors, rotors, propellers, body/frame, landing pads, etc. for the UAV utilized in this petition are not complicated. Engineering and design allows layman maintenance. Recording part replacement for this UAS may prove redundant due to the simplicity of the aircraft. Therefore, Petitioner requests waiver

or exemption for maintenance records. However, pre-flight inspection for cracks, damage or other physical conditions that could hamper safe flight isa reasonable expectation. As well as post flight inspection that may aidin identifying flight conditions that may cause stress to propellers, landing gear, etc. Thorough inspection of UAV shall be conducted and flight response tested should a hard landing or crash occur insuring that the UAV can operate inasafe manner before conducting any further training.

Like the Astraeus Petition, Petitioner Flamingo Air requests waiver or exemption for markings due to the small size of the fuselage for the Phantom 3 Professional. Petitioner Flamingo Air requests modification, waiver or exemption and clarification (within reason) concerning section 91.119 prohibition of flight in congested areas. Petitioner Flamingo Air requests waiver for this condition to allow reasonable and responsible flight training in congested areas of subdivisions and neighborhoods. In compliance with Section 90.151 (a) the Phantom isa battery operated UAV/UAS with battery level monitoring capability. Fully charged battery flight time is rated at25 minutes, with videos/photos taking much less time to record. Operator or PICis warned when battery level is low.Petitioner Flamingo Air requests waiver/exemption from Section 91.203 (a) since the Phantom isa hobby grade UAV/UAS that should not require an airworthiness certificate nora registration certificate. Posting of special flight authorization would not be possible since the Phantom has no cabin andisnot large enough to carry a certificate. However, a special flight authorization can be maintained by the operator to make available upon request. B. Flamingo Air, Proposed Operations Demonstrate an Equivalent Level of Safety 1. General Description of Proposed Flight Operations Flamingo Air, proposes to operate only on the listed Sites and within the limitations and performance specifications listed inthe Manuals, which are summarized below. These limitations provide forat least an equivalent, or higher, level of safety for operations under the current regulatory structure because the proposed operations represent a safety enhancement to the protocols. The proposed operations do not create any hazard to users of the national airspace system or pose a threat to national security. The aircraft isa battery operated quad-copter with a maximum flight time of 25 minutes. The vehicle weighs approximately 2.75 pounds. Ithas vibration dampers and small frame air incline. The vehicle's ground speed hasa maximum of25 mph butitwill be operated between 2and5

miles per hour, anditwill operate ator below 200 feet AGL. Manned aircraft are at risk of fuel spillage and fireinthe event ofan incident or accident. The PHANTOM carries no fuel, and therefore the risk offife following an incident or accident due to fuel spillage is eliminated. Compared to manned aircraft, the unmanned aircraft being operated by the petitioner reduces the risk to participating persons in close proximity to the aircraft due to the limited size, weight, operating conditions, and design safety features of the PHANTOM. Flamingo Air, operations will bein remote areas at least 5 miles from any airport and away from population centers, as demonstrated by Figure 1 (Training Sites). The PHANTOM will be operated only on the sites, which are listed. The FAA has determined that the risk of not having an electronic means to monitor and communicate with other aircraft, such as transponders or sense and avoid technology, is mitigated by placing limits on altitude, requiring stand-off distance from clouds, permitting daytime operations only, and requiring that the aircraft be operated within visual line of sight and yield right of way toall other manned operations. Additionally, the operator will request a NOT AM prior to operations to alert other users of the NAS. See Exemption No. 11062, Docket No. FAA 2014-0352, at p.13. The petitioner's aircraft has the capability to operate safely after experiencing certain in- flight failures,

as specified above inthe description of the V2 Flight Control System. The aircraft isalso able to respond toa lost-link event with a pre-coordinated, predictable, automated flight maneuver. 2. Specific Limitations on Proposed Flight Operations Given the small size involved, the restricted environment within which they will operate, the procedures listed below, and operator certification requirements, Flamingo Air, proposed operations using thePHANTOM would "not create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system or the public or pose a threat to national security." Reform Act Section 333(b)(l). 1. The aircraft is approximately 2.75 pounds. 2. The aircraft will be identified by serial number, registered with the FAA, and have identification (N-Number) markings as large as practicable. 3. Flights will be operated within visual line of sight ofthe Operator or Pilot in Command (PIC). 4. Prior to each flight, azero altitude initiation point will be established and confirmed for accuracy by PIC. 5. Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be TWENTY-THREE (23) minutes. 6. The aircraft will be safely landed with no less than the greater of(a) TWENTY percent (20%) battery life remaining or(b) FIVE (S)minutes of flight time remaining. 7. The aircraft will be operated during daylight and inVFR conditions. 8. Flights will not exceed 200 feet AGL, soasto basic flight training. 9. Flights will be operated ata lateral distance ofat least FIFTY (SO) feet from any persons or property not associated with the operation who have not given prior permission. 10. Flights will be limited toa groundspeed of FIVE (S) miles per hour. 11. Minimum crew for each flight will consist ofaPIC and an Observer. 12. The PIC will possess at least a private pilot certificate, a third class medical certificate, or have held aUS Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 15W Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operator, USMC MOS 7314/7316 -- Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Air Vehicle Operator, and/or ISOU Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems (TUAS) Operations Technician, Navy MOS NEC 8362, NEC 8363, NEC 8364, NEC 8366, NEC 8367, and NEC 8368. Pilots with this training are considered trained and currently fly throughout the United States for the United States military. Pilots with military training will be required to hold a security clearance. Having a government furnished security clearance ameliorates

security concerns over civil UAS operations conducted in accordance with Section 333. Any designee from Flamingo Air, will have completed a Factory Certified Basic Operator Course for the PHANTOM. 13. Prior to the flight, a Mission Plan will be created setting forth the limitations for the flight as well as contact information for the PIC. 14. The flight operations will yield the right of way to other manned aircraft operations. 15. All persons who are not involved with training class will be required to stay 25 feet from the edge ofthe training perimeter. 16. The aircraft will only operate within the listed sites. 17. Flamingo Air will provide NOT AM details to the FAA 24 hours prior to each flight. 18. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from territory, state, county or city jurisdictions prior to flight.19. Prior to commencing operations, Flamingo Air will obtain a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) from the FAA. 20. Ifthe aircraft loses communications, itwill have the capability to return toapredetermined location within the operational area and land. 21. Ifthe aircraft loses its GPS signal itwill have the capability of being flown manually toa predetermined location within the operational area and land. 22. The flight will be aborted in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 23. Each flight will be recorded inan Operations Log Book. 24. Maintenance on the aircraft will be recorded ina Maintenance Log Book. 3. Flight Recovery, Lost Communications, and Lost GPS Procedures The flight recovery, lost communications, and lost GPS procedures are documented above, and are more fully documented inthe attached NAZA-M V2 Quick Start Guide (See Attachment 5). 4. Proposed Flight Areas Flamingo Airis requesting to operate inthe various sites listed in their site chart. V. SPECIFIC FAR EXEMPTIONS REQUESTED Flamingo Air seeks an exemption from several interrelated provisions of14 C.F.R. Parts 21, 45, 61, and 91 for purposes of conducting the requested operations using the PHANTOM. Listed below are (1) the specific FAR sections for which exemption is sought, and (2) the operating procedures and safeguards that Flamingo Air has established which will ensure a level of safety better than or equal to the rules from which exemption is sought. Sec 14 C.F.R. § 11.81 (e). A. 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H -Airworthiness Certificates and 14 C.F.R. § 91.203(a)(1) The FAA has stated that no exemption is needed from this section ifa finding is made under the Reform Act that the UAS selected provides an equivalent level of safety when compared to aircraft normally used for the same application. These criteria are met, and therefore no exemption is needed. See Grant of Exemption to Astraeus Aerial, Docket No. FAA 2014-0352 at 13-14, 22.If, however, the FAA determines that there are some characteristics of the PI-IANTOM that failto meet the requirements of the Reform Act, an exemption is requested. Equivalent Level of Safety: The PHANTOM is safe when taking into account its size, weight, speed, and operational capability. The PHANTOM weighs approximately 2.75 pounds and will be flown at speeds less than 5 miles per hour, in visual line of sight of the operator, and in remote and unpopulated airspace, specifically on the sites. The PHANTOM does not carry pilots, passengers, explosive materials, or flammable liquid fuels. The PHANTOM will be operated within the parameters of the Manuals. Flamingo Air will also provide the FAA with advance notice ofall operations via NOT AM and coordination with the local FSDO. The proposed operations will beat least as safe as,or safer than,conventional rotorcraft operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed here. The proposed operations will also beas safe, or safer than, traditional power line monitoring and/or wind turbine inspection methods. B.14 C.F.R. Part 27 Airworthiness Standards: Normal Category Rotorcraft 14 C.F.R. Part 27 sets forth the procedural requirements for airworthiness certification of normal category rotorcraft. To the extent the PHANTOM would otherwise require certification under Part 27, Flamingo Air, seeks all exemption from Part 27's airworthiness standards for the same reasons identified inthe request for exemption from 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. C.14 C.F.R. §- 45.23(b), 45.27(a) and 91.9(c): Aircraft Marking and Identification Requirements 14 C.F.R. §45.23{b), Markings of the Aircraft states: When marks include only the 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," "lightsport, "experimental," or "provisional," as applicable. 14 C.F.R. § 45.27(a) states: Rotorcraft: Each operator ofa rotorcraft must display on that rotorcraft horizontally on both surfaces of the cabin, fuselage, boom, ortail the marks required by§ 45.23. 14 C.F.R. § 9 1.9(c) states: No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft unless that aircraft is identified in accordance with part 45of this chapter. Ina previous Grant of Exemption, the FAA determined that exemption from these requirements was warranted provided that the aircraft "have identification (N-Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart Cifthe markings are lias large as practicable." See Exemption No. 11062, Docket No. FAA 2014-0352, atp.14. Equivalent Level of Safety: Flamingo Air will mark all PHANTOMs with their N-Number ina prominent spot on the fuselage with markings that arcas large as practicable. D.14 C.F.R. § 61.113: Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations Flamingo Air seeks exemption from 14 CFR§ 61.113, which restricts private pilots from flying aircraft for compensation or hire and would also require a second class medical certificate. The purpose of Part 61isto ensure that the skill and competency of any PIC matches the airspace in which the PIC will be operating, as well as requiring certifications ifthe pilot is carrying passengers or cargo for hire. While the PHANTOM will be operated as pall ofa commercial operation, it carries neither passengers nor cargo. Inthe Grant of Exemption in FAA Docket No. FAA-2014-0352, the FAA determined that the unique characteristics of UAS operation outside of controlled airspace did not warrant the additional cost and restrictions attendant with requiring the PICto have a commercial pilot certificate anda class II medical certificate. The FAA has also determined that the required knowledge fora commercial pilot

covers the same fundamental principles asa private pilot. The PIC will possess at least a private pilot certificate, a third class medical certificate, or have held aUS Army Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 15W Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Operator, USMC MOS 7314/7316 --Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Air Vehicle Operator, and/or ISOU Tactical unmanned Aerial Systems (TUAS) Operations Technician, Navy MOS

NEC 8362, NEC 8363, NEC 8364, NEC 8366, NEC 8367, and NEC 8368 and will have completed aDJI Factory-Certified Basic Operator Course for the PHANTOM. This isa 3-day program that includes ground school and flight training. The FAA stated inits grant ofan exception to Astraeus Aerial the "the FAA considers the overriding safety factor for the limited operations proposed by the petitioner tobe the airmanship skills acquired through UAS-specific flight cycles, flight time, and specific make and model experience, culminating in verification through testing." See Exemption No. 11062, Docket No. FAA 2014-0352, atp.18. The

proposed operations can achieve an equivalent level of safety by requiring the knowledge and experience in PHANTOM operations described above. Furthermore, the security screening conducted by the Transportation Security Administration of

certificated airmen satisfies the statutory requirement of Section 333 for operations to not pose a threat to national security. The restrictions Flamingo Air has placed onits PHANTOM operations meet or exceed the restrictions similarly imposed on Astraeus Aerial in FAA Docket No. FAA-2014-0352. Flamingo Air will operate in restricted areas (the sites) away from persons and property not involved inthe operation. The aircraft will be flown based on VLOS ator below 400 feet AGL, soasto accommodate inspections of wind turbines on specified sites. A NOT AM will be issued at least 24 hours before the flight isto occur, and the flight will be coordinated with the applicable FSDO. E.14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Flamingo Air seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a), which requires that acivil aircraft bein airworthy condition tobe operated. The FAA has stated that no exemption is required to the extent that the requirements of Part 21 are waived or found inapplicable. Accordingly, Flamingo Air requests that the requirements for Section 91.7 be treated in accordance with FAR Part 21 Subpart H. See Grant of Exemption No. 11062, p.19.

F.14 C.F.R. § 91.9(b)(2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual inthe Aircraft; 14 C.F.R. §- 91.203(a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and RegistrationPursuant to 14C.F.R. § 91.9(b)(2): (b}No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft- (2)For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is required by§ 21.5of this chapter, unless there is available inthe aircraft a current approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. Pursuant to14 C.F.R. § 91.203(a) and (b): (a)Except as provided in§ 91.715, no person may operate acivil aircraft unless ithas within it the following: (1)An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate. (b}No person may operate acivil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) ofthis section ora special flight authorization issued under§ 91.715 is displayed atthe cabin or cockpit entrance so that itis legible to passengers or crew.

Flamingo Air does not request an exemption from this section but instead notifies the FAA that, in accordance with FAA Office of Chief Counsel's Opinion dated August 8,2014, the UAS flight manual, registration certificate and other documentation will be kept atthe control station with the PIC during flight. The Chief Counsel's Office has held that forall UAS operations, this alternate method constitutes full compliance with the regulations. See also Grant of Exemption No. 11062, pp. 19-20, and Grant of Exemption No. 8607. G. 14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action

Flamingo Air seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.103, which requires aPICto become familiar with

specific information before each flight, including information contained inthe FAA-approved Flight Manual on board the aircraft. The aircraft will not have a Flight Manual on board. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight. Under these circumstances, the FAA has stated that no exemption is required. See Grant of Exemption No. 11062, p.20. An exemption is requested to the extent that an FAA-approved Flight Manual is required. Equivalent Level of Safety: An equivalent level of safety will be provided by following the Manuals. The PIC will take all required preflight actions- including performing all required checklists and reviewing weather, flight requirements, battery charge, landing and takeoff distance, aircraft performance data, and contingency landing areas- before initiation of flight. The Manuals will be kept atthe ground station with the operator atall times. H. 14 C.F.R. § 91.109(a): Flight Instruction

Flamingo Air seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.109(a), which provides that "[n]o person may

operate acivil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless thataircraft has fully functioning dual controls." UASs and remotely operated aircraft, by their design, do not have functional dual controls. Instead, flight control is accomplished through the use of the A2 Flight Control System/Ground Control Station (GCS) that communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. Equivalent Level of Safety: When flight instruction is performed, no operator will beon the aircraft and the GCS will beasafe distance from the aircraft and the public, causing no safety hazard. Given the size and speed of the PHANTOM, an equivalent level of safe training can still be performed without dual controls because no pilot or passengers are aboard the aircraft, and all persons will beasafe distance away inthe event that the aircraft experiences any difficulties during flight instruction. In addition, Flamingo Air will conduct flight training ata remote facility away from population centers. These training flights will be conducted on the sites and will otherwise comply with the provisions inthe Manuals. Accordingly, Flamingo Air proposed method of operation provides superior levels of safety. I.14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitudes in Uncongested Areas Flamingo Air requests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude requirements of14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c). Section 91.119(c) prescribes that an aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. The Manuals provide for operations away from congested populations areas on the sites. The FAA has already determined that relief from Section 91.119(c) is

warranted for UAS operations in uncongested areas with similar flight restrictions as those imposed by

Flamingo Air. See Grant of Exemption No. 11062, p. 20-21. Equivalent Level of Safety: Compared to flight operations with rotorcraft weighing far more than the

maximum weights proposed herein, and given the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations isfar less than those that presently exist with conventional aircraft. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the PHANTOM, as well as the locations where itis operated -the sites. In order to avoid any risk to aircraft, flight operations will be restricted to 200 feet AGL or below. As set forth inthe Manuals and herein, the PHANTOM will be operated inthe remote sites, away from persons or structures not involved inthe operation. All persons who are not involved with Flamingo Air operations will be required tobeat least 25 feet from the training perimeter. J.14 C.F.R. § 91.121: Altimeter Settings This petition seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.121, which requires a person operating an aircraft

to maintain cruising altitude or flight level by reference toan altimeter that issetto the elevation ofthe departure airport. The PHANTOM uses both barometric pressure sensors and GPS to determine altitude but does not have the ability tosetina current altimeter setting. An exemption is required to the extent that the PHANTOM does not have a barometric altimeter setting. The altitude ofthe aircraft is monitored by the PIC on the ground control station and by the visual observer. Equivalent Level of Safety: The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved ifthe aircraft will be operated ator below 400 feet AGL and within visual line-of-sight in addition to GPS based altitude information relayed in real time to the operator. See Grant of Exemption No. 11062, p. 20-21.As the attached Manuals indicate, the PHANTOM will be operated ator below 400 feet AGL and complies with the limitations inthe Grant of Exemption No. 11062. K.14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a}: Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions Flamingo Air requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.15 l(a)'s fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Section 91.151 states: (a) No person may begin a flight inan airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel toflyto the first point of intended Landing and, assuming normal cruising speed - (1) During the day, tofly after that forat least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, tofly after that forat least 45 minutes. Here, the technological limitations on PHANTOM battery power means that no meaningful flight operations can be conducted while still maintaining a30 minute reserve. The aircraft is battery powered with a maximum flight time of25 minutes. Flamingo Air proposes that the maximum flight time for each operational flight will be20 minutes. The aircraft will be safely landed with no Less than the greater of (a) 20% battery Life remaining or(b) five minutes of flight time remaining. Equivalent Level of Safety: The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety is provided ifthe UAS flight is conducted under daytime VFR flight conditions using VLOS, and terminated with at least 25% reserve battery power still available. See Grant of Exemption No. 11062, p. 21-22. The Manuals providing an equivalent level of safety by safely landing with no less than the greater of(a) 20% battery Life remaining or(b) five minutes of flight time remaining and otherwise complying with the flight restrictions above.

L.14 C.F.R. §"' 91.40S(a}, 91.407(a}(1}, 91.409(a}(2}; 91.417(a} and (b): Maintenance InspectionsFlamingo Air seeks an exemption from the maintenance inspection requirements contained in14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a}, 91.407(a)(l). 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b). These regulations specify maintenance and inspection standards in reference to14 C.F.R. Part 43. See, e.g., 14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a) (stating that each owner or operator ofan aircraft "[s]hall have the aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart Eof this part and shall between required inspections ... have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43of this chapter"). An exemption from these regulations is needed because Part 43 and these sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which the PHANTOM will not have. Equivalent Level of Safety: An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accordance with the Manuals. This includes maintenance, overhaul, replacement, and inspection requirements for the aircraft and procedures to document and maintain maintenance records for the aircraft. This also includes preflight inspection procedures. See Exemption No. 11062, Docket No. FAA 2014- 0352, atp. 14-15.As provided inthe Manuals, flights will not be conducted unless a flight operations checklist is performed that includes all ofthe aircraft's components. The Manuals also set requirements for maintenance log books and record keeping as well as routine and post-flight maintenance. The Manuals set requirements for both annual maintenance and preventative maintenance. VI. PUBLIC INTEREST Granting Flamingo Air's petition for exemption furthers the public interest. National policy set by Congress favors early integration of UAS into the NAS in controlled, safe, working environments such as the sites proposed in this petition. By granting this petition, the FAA will fulfill Congress's intent of allowing UAS to operate safely inthe NAS before completion ofthe rulemaking required under Section 332 ofthe Reform Act. Moreover, use of unmanned aircraft operations will improve awareness of FAA regulations and provide a standard level of training forall PHANTOM operators. The use of the PHANTOM will also decrease safety-related incidents involving new users of quad-copters. PHANTOM flight training will increase the effectiveness of new users, decrease their safety risks, and reduce the number of incidents between unmanned and manned aircraft.

Thus, the use proposed here will allow Flamingo Airto determine the efficacy of the PHANTOM for increasing public safety. The PHANTOM is approximately 2.75 pounds, carries no passengers or crew, and has no flammable fuel, as opposed to larger and more powerful helicopters and small airplanes. This program may prevent accidents and injuries, and there isa strong public interest in making these operations more safe and effective through the use of UASs. VII. Privacy

All flights will occur over the identified sites. All flights will be conducted in accordance with any federal, state or local laws regarding privacy.

VIII. SUMMARY FOR FEDERAL REGISTER Pursuant to14 C.F.R. Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication inthe Federal Register, should itbe determined that publication is needed: Flamingo Air seeks an exemption from the following rules for the commercial operation ofa small unmanned aerial system to inspect wind turbine blades and towers for the renewable energy industry: 14 C.F.R Part 21, Subpart H;14 C.F.R Part 27; 14 C.F.R § 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. § 45.27(a); 14 C.F.R § 61.113; 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; 14**C.F.R~** 91.109(a); 14 C.F.R § 91.119; 14 C.F.R § 91.121; 14 C.F.R § 91.151(a) &(b)14 C.F.R § 91.203 (a)&(b); 14 C.F.R § 91.40S(a); 14 C.F.R § 91.407(a)(l); 14 C.F.R § 91.409(a)(2); 14 C.F.R §91 .417 (a)& (b). The exemption will enhance safety by reducing risk to the operator, the general public and property owners from the hazards associated with new Phantom operators.IX.

Lli3Q_c;2LlgCD• AiThis section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery 10;= AircraftFlight Controller The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including anew flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft ifthe control signal islost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight tothe on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability andanew air braking feature.Flight Mode

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected bythe Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength isnot sufficient. The aircraft is using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically return tothe home point ifthe control signal islost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated inthis mode. For more information

about IOC, refer tothe IOC section inthe Appendix .

.jJ; Use the Right Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, refer tothe "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26for more information. Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEOs are shown inthe figure below: FrontLEO**·-----~'""":""~ ~·**  '-<r**--llff"""~~** Aircraft Status Indicator The Front LEOs show the orientation ofthe aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned onto indicate the front (or nose) ofthe aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status ofthe flight controller.

or tap the RTH button inthe DJI GO app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return tothe last recorded Home Point. You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft. 12Phantom 3 Professional User Manual Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the OJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted toa point that may affect the safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI GO app will display a notice when alow battery warning is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return tothe Home Point ifno action is taken after a ten-second countdown. The

user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller. The thresholds

for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distance from the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically ifthe current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough

The maximum operating distance may vary depending on conditions in your immediate surroundings."• Fly Safe DJI encourages you to enjoy flying your Phantom 3 Professional ina safe, responsible, and smart way. Todo this, itis important to understand some basic flight guidelines, both for your protection and for the safety of those around you. 1 .Flyin Open Areas: Always flyin locations that are free and clear of buildings, trees, power lines, and other obstacles. Do notfly above or near people or animals.

2. Maintain Control atAll Times: Even when using DJI autopilot functions such as Auto-Takeoff, Auto-Landing, and Auto-Return to Home, always keep your hands on the Remote Controller and maintain control of your aircraft when itisin flight. 3. Maintain Una of Sight Keep your aircraft in sight atall times, and avoid flying behind buildings or other obstacles that may block your lieN. 4. Monitor Your Altitude: For the safety of lull-sized aircraft and other air traffic, always flyat alititudes less than 400 feet (120 meters) above ground level, orinline with your local laws and regulations. Visit http://llysafe.dji.com/no-fly for more information on critical safety features such as No-Fly Zones. 0 • Calibrating the Compass: Make sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. Tha compass is very sensitive to electrcmagnetic interference, which

can cause abnormal compass data, leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance.1.DO NOT calibrate your compass where there isa chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 2.DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 3.DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 4.Ifthe Aircraft Status Indicators are showing solid red, then tryto calibrate again. Ifthey are blinking red and yellow atternately after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. • Environmental Considerations: 1.Do notflyin severe weather conditions. This includes high winds (speeds of22 mph or10 m/s or more), snow, rain, and fog. 2. Only flyin open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy ofthe on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds,**h~h-vottage** power lines, trees, and bodies of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations, radio transmission towers, or Wi-Fi hotspots. 5. Aircraft and battery performance are subject to environmental factors such asair density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 19,600 feet (6km) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may not beat peak efficiency. 6. The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate inP Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only ATn Mode and the Vision Positioning system will ba operational. •P Mode: Inthis mode, the Phantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the Vision Positioning system, allowing itto hover accurately in position indoors and out. When GPS is available, a Home Point willba locked so that the Phantom 3 Professional can Return to Home Ifthe Remote Controller

signal islost.**~** To enable P Mode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch totheP position. There are three states inP mode: P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors andina wide open area. Your Phantom 3 Professional uses GPS to hover in place when there isa

strong GPS signal. P-OPTI: IfGPS isnot available, the aircraft can use the VISion Positioning system to hover accurately. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor the Vision Positioning system are available.

Tha aircraft will only use its barometer for attitude and other on-board sensors for attitude stabilization.

Note that the Vision Positioning system may not work properly whan

the Phantom 3 Professional is flying over water, over surfaces without

a clear pattern, orina low-light environment. X Return to home**~** ...,,.**~** GPS Positioning**~ ~'X~**  9feet10inches • Vision PositioningAltitude1foot • Return to Home: When there isa strong GPS signal, tha aircraft willbe able to record a Home Point and return to that Home Point when required. The Home Point location is recorded when the GPS

signal icon inthe DJI GO appis either yellow or green.

The aircraft wm return tothe Home Point automatically inthe following scenarios (all require a strong GPS signal):

Smart RTH: When tha RTH button on the Remote Controller orinthe DJI GO appis pressed. Low-Battery RTH: A notification will appear intha DJI GO app requesting the pilot to talke action when the battery level falls under a certain level. Failsafe RTH: When the Remote Controller's signal islost. • While returning tothe Home Point, the aircraft's altitude can be adjusted to avoid obstacles. Tall buildings may affect the Remote Controller's signal. The Failsafe Return to Home procedure willbe triggered**~**the signal islost. Be sure tofly higher than any nearby

buildings to avoid crashing.•• Appendix •Airaaft Weight (Including Battery) Max. Ascent Speed Max. Descent Speed Max. Speed Max. Flight Altitude Max.

refer to the following list and aids troubleshooting. (1) "System initializing and self-checking LED flashes" are not correct (eeoeeoeeoeeee Red LED appears in the last four green flashes). The autopilot system works abnormally. Please contact your dealer. (2) LED blinks Yellow 4 times quickly (0000). The system is warming up. You cannot start the motors until the4 rapid yellow flashes disappear. Ifthe warm up waiting is longer than 2 minutes, please power off for

5 minutes, cold start, and then connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" ->IMU calibration, carry out the Advanced calibration. (3) After the system start and self-checking has finished, ifthe LED blinks Red, Green and Yellow <••o) continually. Sensor error is too big. Please connect the assistant software, enter the "Tools" ·> IMU calibration, carry out calibration. (4) At the first motors start, the system will check the sensors Bias and you are asked to keep the aircraft stationary (no need of horizontal level). Ifyou cannot start the motors and the LED blinks Green 6 times

quickly ( •••••• },it means that the sensor error istoo big. Please connect the assistant software,

enter the "Tools" ->IMU calibration, carry out basic calibration. Note: after the first successful motors start, this checking will be disabled anditisno need any more to keep the aircraft stationary during starting motors. (5} The system blinks Red LED quickly during flying. Low-voltage protection is triggered. Please land the aircraft ASAP. (6) The system blinks Yellow LED quickly during flying. FailSafe Mode is triggered. Pay attention that there is no tall buildings and trees to block your aircraft during go-home. (7) The LED blinks Red and Yellow alternately ( ). Compass error istoo big. a) There may bea ferromagnetic substance close to the Phantom. Lift the aircraft up about lm from the ground, if there isno Red and Yellow flashing, then itwill not affect the flight. b) Otherwise, re-calibrate the compass. c) If re-calibration does not work, please connect to the Assistant Software, select the ''Tools" and follow the tips to carry out the required operation. Fix the TBE {Toilet Bowl Effect) Problem When flying in GPS ATTl. Mode and the compass calibration has been done correctly, should you find the aircraft rotating (Toilet bowl effect), or drifting when hovering. Please check the GPS module mounting orientation and then

re-do the compass calibration. Carry out the following procedure to re-mount the GPS module. ©2015 DJI.

Motors Start failure caused by TX stick(s) mid-point error too big J Ifthe TX stick(s) mid-point error is too big, Motors Start will fail when you execute the Combination Stick Commands (CSC) and lead to the aircraft will not takeoff .. And the LED will blink Red four times per second continually to warn you. TX stick(s) mid-point error too big can be caused by the following reasons: (1) There isTX stick (except the throttle stick) notat center when power on the autopilot system. (2) The TX sticks has been trimmed, which leads to the large deviation of mid-point. For example, the SUB-TRIM has been adjusted for Futaba transmitter. {3) The TX stick(s) travel has larger asymmetry. For the reason {1), please put allTX sticks at the mid-point, and then power cycle the autopilot system to re-record the mid-point. Ifthe problem continues, that can be caused by the reason (2)or reason (3), you need to adjust the output range of your TX, and then use the Assistant Software to redo the TX calibration. Please carry out the following procedures. (1) Connect to the Assistant software, click Basic-> R/C-> Command Sticks Calibration, and push allTX sticks throughout their complete travel range to seeifany stick cannot reach its largest position. (2) Adjust the largest travel ofTX stick until the cursor on the Assistant software can reach both end positions, according to your TX manual. (3) Power cycle the autopilot system, note that power cycle is required. (4) Redo the TX calibration according to the Assistant software. e>2015 OJI.All Rights Reserved. 30I••w Attitude Controllable When One Motor Output is Failed For Hexa-rotor, including Hexa-rotor I, Hexa-rotor V, Hexa-rotor IV and Hexa-rotor Y, aircraft is attitude controllable when one motor output is failed.

The NAZA-tvl can still control the attitude of the Hexa-rotor fora safe landing when one motor output of the Hexa-rotor has failed, for example, one motor is stopped or one propeller is broken, etc. The control mode of NAZA-tvl should bein Atti. tvlode or GPS Atti. tvlode. The aircraft will rotate, due to an imbalance of torque; however, it can still be controlled by the Transmitter. Select Course lock or home lock mode for flying the aircraft into a safe area to land when the aircraft isfar away or

the attitude can't be recognized. Even when the multi rotor is rotating, using Course lock or home lock mode will allow you to move the multi rotor in the corresponding Transmitter stick direction. When used with other DJI products The NAZA-tvl system communicates with other DJI products (e.g. H3-2D gimbal, BTU module, iOSD mini and iOSD tvlark II)via the CAN-Bus port (C!lr-") of the NAZA Ptv\U V2. You can plug new DJI products into any spare CAN-Bus port, since CAN-Bus ports on NAZA-tvl, CAN HUB, GCU, iOSD mini, iOSD tv\arkII and 2.4G Bluetooth Datalink are

the same for the communications. When there are not enough CAN-Bus ports for additional DJI products, then a DJI CAN HUB module is recommended. The following diagram isfor your connection reference.
