### --- -------------Transportation's (the FAAAdministrator's) responsibilities to "

....establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system."



### I plan to operate a UAS, the 

### OJI PHANTOM 

### 3 Professional which is comprised ofan unmanned aircraft (UAor Phantom 3) and a transportable ground station. The Phantom 3 is referred to as
a quad-copterwith a maximum gross weight ofabout 

### 3 pounds. It is equipped with four rotors that are driven byelectric motors powered by batteries. The UAhas a maximum airspeed of 

### 16 m/s. Given the small size ofthe UAS involved andthe restricted controlled environmentwithin which they will operate, the applicantfits within that zone ofsafety (an equivalent level ofsafety) in which Congress envisioned thatthe FAA must, byexemption, allow commercial operations of UASs to commence immediately.Also dueto the size ofthe UASs and the controlled areas in which the relevant UAS will operate, approval ofthe application presents no national security issue. Given thefollowing, the grant ofthe requested exemptions is clearly in the public interest: Brenda Fischer proposes thatthe exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraftthat have the characteristics and thatoperate with the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for an exceptional level ofsafetyto operations. These limitations and conditions to which Brenda Fischer agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations underan FAA issued exemption including:

1. The UAS will weigh less than 55 lbs. 2. Flights will be operated within line ofsight ofoperator. 3. Maximumtotal flight time for each operational flight will 

### be 30 minutes. 4. Flights will be terminated at 15% battery power reserve. 4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feetAGL 5. UAS operatorwill 

### be trained in the proper safety and operations ofthe UAS. 6. The UAS will only operate within a controlled area as defined in the Procedures. 7. The operatorwill post advisor notice around the controlled area. 8. The operator will have been trained in operation of UAS generally and received up-to-date information onthe particular UAS to 

### be operated as required. 9. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAS will have capabilityto return to a pre-determined location within the Security Perimeter and land. 10.The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.
Accordingly, I respectfully request thatthe FAAgrantthe requested exemption and I am prepared to modify or amend any part ofthis request to satisfy the need for an equivalent level of safety. I lookforward to working with your office. Please contact me at anytime 

### if additional information or clarifications are needed.
