Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 ( the Reform Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part

11.81, Remedy Films, is the operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) equipped to conduct aerial

photography and cinematography services hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal Aviation

Regulations (“FARS”) to allow commercial operation of designated UAS, provided such operations are conducted

within and under the condition outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333.

Remedy Films is a turn­key corporate and action sports cinema production company, utilizing aerial and specialized

camera support to capture epic stories.

Our team of creative innovators are committed to doing whatever it takes to capture the epic and to deliver a product

unlike any other. Our cutting­edge camera rigs, support systems, point of view rigs and post­production equipment

allow us to create awe­inspiring cinema.

Before unmanned aerial systems were available, Remedy Films used Robinson R44 and Bell Long Ranger

Helicopters to capture cinematic aerial shots for action sports and commercial video projects. With the recent

advances in UAS there are many advantages in using UAS over an actual helicopter. A small helicopter, such as an

R44, cost over $600/hr to hire and a Long Ranger is closer to $2,500/hr. With a UAS we can provide a higher

production value shot, lower cost to the client, and less intrusive to surrounding business and activities. UAS produce

a lesser footprint on the environment, they don't audibly or visually distract, and they are safer and cause much less

danger or injury in case of a malfunction in comparison to a full size helicopter.

Our pilot has a total of four years in aerial cinematography, and started working with UAS long before they became

popular and readily available to the consumer. Due to this, our knowledge into the inner workings of how these

machines operate is much higher than that of most consumers. We schedule test days strictly for making sure all of

our aerial gear is working properly, and to give us time for troubleshooting in case complications arise. This also gives

us ample time to correct any complications before ever taking gear into the air for a commercially hired flight. We do

voltage tests on batteries for different conditions to determine precise flight times for said conditions.
In regards to fail safe precautions, we run our DJI S900 with 2 batteries in parallel, monitoring voltage, GPS,

transmitter strength, flight mode, height, distance, and direction of home from the transmitters. If our transmitters lose

connection the UAS will do one of two things: the UAS will perform a position hold, or the UAS will return and land to

a designated area.

I request this exemption in order to operate our DJI S900 which is comprised of an unmanned aircraft and a

transportable ground station. The UAS is a hexacopter with a maximum gross weight of 8.2kg. The UAS is equipped

with 6 rotors that are driven by electric motors powered by Lipo batteries. The UAS will operate at a speed no greater

then 50 Knots and has the capability to hover and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. The UAS

will operate only in VLOS and with permission from the property owner or a representative. Such operation will

ensure that the UAS will “not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public” as per the

Reform Act Section 333 (b)

These limitations and conditions to which Remedy Films agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations

under an FAA issued exemption include:

1. The UAS will weigh less than 55 lbs.

2. Flights will be operated within line of sight of operator.

3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be 30 minutes.

4. Flights will be terminated at 25% battery power reserve.

4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL

5. UAS operator will be trained and certified in the proper safety and operations of the UAS.

6. The UAS will only operate within a controlled area as defined in the Procedures.

7. The operator will post advisor notice around the controlled area.

8. The operator will have been trained in operation of UAS generally and received up­to­date information on the

particular UAS to be operated as required.

9. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAS will have capability to return to a predetermined

location within the Security Perimeter and land.

10. The operator will store and maintain UAS battery packs at the recommended temperature and charge within

flame retardant Lipo bags.

11. The operator will conduct at minimum 1 test flight prior to each commercially hired flight.

12. The operator will not fly in adverse conditions or in winds above 18 mph.

13. Each flight will be logged in PIC’s logbook.

Please advise us of any additional information or changes that may be required.

Sincerely

Shawn Herold
