**Regarding the unmanned aircraft system:** It is our intention to operate 2 UAV's, with one model being a DJ I phantom, the second model being a Free Flight X4. The purpose of our operations is aerial photograph y and videograph y in situati ons of media coverage, marketing, surveying, real estate photography , videos as requested for bands and music videos, aerial shots of property as requested b y owner of said propert y,

among other things. Please see operation information below.

**Consumer Qu ad Copter Information:**  **(info based on DJI phantom)** Total weight (batteries and all flight equipment included): 1000g Hover accuracy : Vertical 0.8m, Horizontal 2.5m Max Yaw Angular Velocity : 200 degrees/s Max Tilt Angle: 35 degrees Max Ascent/Descent Speed Ascent: 6m/s; Descent 2m/s Max Flight Speed: 15m/s (not recommended) Diagonal Length: 350mm Max Flight Time: 25 mins Take off weight: 1300g Operating Temperature: - 10 degrees ~ 50 degr ees C

**DJI Smart Battery:** Ty pe: 3S LiPo Capacity : 5200 mAh, 11.1V Charging Environment Range: 0 to 40 Discharging Environment Range: - 20 to 50

**2.4 GHz ISM:** Operating Frequency

2.4 GHz I SM Communication Distance (open area) 1000m Receiver Sensitivity : (1% PER) - 97dBm Working Current/Voltage: 120 mA@3.7V **Consumer Quad Copter Information: (info based on Free Flight X4)**  Total weight (batteries and all flight equipment included): 1890g

Diagonal Wheelbase: 800mm Arm Length: 320mmCenter Frame Diameter: 240mm Landing Gear Size: 300mm (length) x 430mm (width) x 340mm (height) Center Plate: 250mm Stator Size: 41x14mm KV: 400rpm/V Max Power: 500W **ESC:** Current: 40A Voltage 6SL iPo Signal Frequency : 30Hz~450Hz Drive PWM Frequency : 8KHz Weight: 42g **Flight Parameters:** Take Off Weight: 4Kg~8Kg Weight of Machine: 3.7Kg Battery : LiPo (6s, 10000mAh~20000mAh minimum 15C)

Max Power Consumption: 1508W Hover Consumption: 754W(@ takeoff weight: 4.3kg) Operational Temperature: - 10 degree C ~ +40 degree C These quad copters are to be operated in accordance to th e guidelines offered by the manufacturers of the consumer UAV's. A pre - flight inspection is performed before each flight. The pre - flights can be seen here for the DJ I: http://www.droneflyers.com/wp - content/uploads/2014/12/D JI - Phantom - Vision - Summary Guide .pdf and here for the Free Flight X4: http://www.fpvmodel.com/free - flight - x4 - high - end - quadcopter - with - retractable - landing - gear and - removable - arms_g704.html **Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft PIC:** Robert Thrash has apx 500 hours flying various forms of UAVs, he also has apx 2000 hours flying manned aircraft as a private and aerobatic pilot. Being a private pilot, Robert Thrash has a class 3 medical. The combined staff at Skyview Photography has over 1500 hours flying UAVs. 2 staff members of Sky

are also s kydivers, one being a skydive instructor and videographer, having apx 1850 jumps combined, and therefore have extensive aeronautical knowledge. It is our intention to not operate near airports, military bases, and other areas wh ere GA, Military , or Commer cial Aircraft may be present. Our consumer quad copters will operate within VLOS. We would have an average speed of 3 - 10mph, m ax height of 200ft and a radius of about 1000ft . This would allow us to film away from people and wildlife 

### . Our consumer quad cop ters are outfitted with GPS and other fail safes. Once such fail safe is we are able to set a maximum he ight and distance from our take off point to not exceed. For example, if we set them for amaximum lift height of 100ft, once they reach 100ft, the sy ste m will not allow them to continue on their vertical path. The same for the distance from the start point. In the event that communication is lost, they are designed and programmed to return to the takeoff point. We ask that you consider and approve this exemption. Thank you, Sky view Photograph y, LLC Robert and Dwan Thrash and Andrew Ghio
