RE: EXEMPTION REQUEST SECTION 333 OF THE FAA REFORM ACT 

& Additional Information Requested “Public Interest” 

Dear Sir/Madam, 

We received a letter dated July 30, 2015 stating that our exemption could not be approved due to the 

fact that it did not comply with the requirements of 11.81 specifically relating to how our systems would 

benefit the “Public interest”. While we did state the following- 

“Use of the proposed sUAS for these inspection and surveying applications reduces the need to operate 

conventional aircraft, providing data more quickly, accurately, economically, safely, and with reduced

environmental impact.” 

We would like to expand on our original exemption request explanation of how our systems would 

benefit the public interest. 

Public InterestThe petitioner, Aeroworks Productions, LLC. will be using the UAS in a variety of applications that 

generally require expensive full-size manned aircraft to complete. Small, light, unmanned aerial vehicles 

offer a myriad of benefits over the use of full-sized manned aircraft for electric power line inspection, 

oil/gas pipeline inspection, advanced agriculture, film and still photography just to name a few. 

Replacing significantly larger manned aircraft carrying crew and flammable fuel with small UAS carrying 

no passengers or crew creates a much greater margin of safety for the pilots and crew. By granting 

Petitioner’s requested exemptions, the FAA will help drive development of safe and successful 

commercial UAS operations and will advance the public knowledge base for such operations. Petitioner 

is committed to sharing data from its commercial UAS operations and serving as a resource for future 

UAS research operations. Thus, the FAA has good cause to grant this Petition. 
Amendment to docket no. FAA-2015-1765 

Aeroworks Productions, LLC. Would like to add the following aircraft to our original exemption request

dated May 19, 2015. 

1. DJI Phantom 3 Professional 

2. 3D Robotics Solo 

These sUAS all weigh less than 25 lbs; have a built-in capability to limit the height it flies above 

the ground, to limit the radius of the distance it flies from the operator and to exclude it from Class B, C 

and D airspace including a no fly zone feature. Each system also has the failsafe function of the 

autopilot system, which means when the communication between the Main Controller and the 

transmitter is lost; the system will automatically trigger Return to Home and will land safely.

Additionally, the fact that the Aeroworks Productions LLC pilots hold FAA Pilot certificates demonstrates 

that they have a high regard to safe operations with an understanding of FARs, pre-flight inspections,

maintenance and repair, operations within airspace, as well as being trained to high safety standards.

Under the requested exemption, Aeroworks Productions LLC ensures that all operators have completed 

a small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) education and training program including all applicable 

regulations and guidance documents; including aeronautical background information such as charts, 

NOTAMS and Aircraft Circulars, Radio Communications and Procedures, Human Factors and Crew 

Resource Management, Basic Small UAS Aerodynamics, Weather factors, Airmanship and Decisionmaking and Safe Operating Procedures. 

Aeroworks Productions LLC at all times will respect the space and privacy of citizens and property while 

keeping our skies safe. We respectfully request, without delay, an exemption under Section 333 to 

enable Aeroworks Productions LLC to operate safe, low-risk commercial sUAV operations for the 

activities stated. 

Sincerely,
