Petition for Exemption 14 CFR 11.81

Exemption petition under SEC 333

Name: David Bendersky

Address: 3025 NE 103rd St Seattle WA 98125

The specific section or sections of 14 CFR from which you seek an exemption;

Petition for Exemption under Sec 333

The extent of relief you seek and the reason you seek the relief;

Sec 333 prohibits the use of a UAS for commercial purposes on private property. I am simply 

petitioning for an exemption to provide a commercial service to private land owners and 

companies who wish to obtain and capture Aerial photos and videos of said property for 

purposes including real estate listings, insurance property claims, and for use as a marketing 

tool for businesses. I would like to be able to accept payment for these services therefore 

making this a commercial use of a UAS.

Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety, or how the exemption 

would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rule;

Understanding the importance of different uses and safety concerns regarding FAA 

regulated airspace, I would be a good candidate for exemption of Sec 333 while not putting 

Air Safety in any accelerated risk. The specific UAS I am seeking exemption with is one with 

many safety programs, including Stability technology and GPS navigating. When flying for 

this commercial purpose I would be flying at a maximum altitude of 200 ft and flying mostly 

vertically for the purposes of taking photos, decreasing the risk of any interference. My 

general knowledge of the aviation safety systems implemented by the FAA would be used to 

ensure that safety would not be affected by my operations. I would not be flying near disaster 

areas, sporting events, or high traffic areas including airports, and I would pay attention to 

NOTAMS.

I, David Bendersky am seeking an exemption of the FAAs Sec 333 rules that does not

service to private land owners and companies who wish to obtain and capture Aerial photos 

and videos of said property for purposes including real estate listings, insurance property

consideration of this petition for exemption.

Any additional information, views, or arguments available to support your request;

technology provided with this unit. I intend to only fly in non populated, residential or rural 

areas and stay clear of all utility lines etc. I intend to be fully aware of my surroundings at all 
times and to only fly the unmanned aircraft within a visual line of sight and only in Visual 

Flight Conditions.
