EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The Petitioner, Henry Clay Lehman, was born on April 20, 1944 in San Antonio, TX. 

and is a US citizen. He has been a REAL TOR® for over 10 years and is presently 

working with REALTY EXECUTIVES in Kerrville, Tx. The petitioner is a licensed 

COMMERCIAL PILOT (#2105618) with an instrument rating. His ratings include 

AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND & SEA; AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND; 

INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE, and holds type rating: L-188. He is a Vietnam Era Vet 

having flown as a Plane Commander with USNAVY PATROL SQUADRON VP-40 in 

California. In addition to his time as a Naval Aviator, he has previously owned and 

flown several fixed-wing aircraft. Petitioner has never been cited for any FAA 

violations. Since March 2014, Petitioner has owned and flown a DJI Phantom 2 Vision 

(UAS). As a hobbyist. Petitioner has become very proficient with the Phantom 2 

Vision model with over 50 hours flown in type. Petitioner is requesting an exemption 

from the current rules in Section 333, which govern the uses ofUASs for commercial 

purposes. The Petitioner seeks authorization to perform commercial UAS operations 

for real estate inspections and use in real estate marketing. This would include 

residential, commercial and rural properties. Prospective customers and clients would 

include real estate agents & brokers, property inspection companies, management 

companies, insurance companies & vendors, banks and private property owners. 

PUBLIC GOOD 

Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing and 

inspections has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and 

helicopters. But for small business owners, its expense has been cost-prohibitive. 

Granting this exemption to the Petitioner would allow him to provide this service at 

a much lower cost. Further, the small UAS being utilized in this application will 

pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when 

compared to larger manned aircraft. The operation of this UAS will minimize 

ecological damage and promote economic growth by providing information to 

businesses & individuals in the Texas Hill Country and central Texas area. 

DESCRIPTION OF UA V TO BE DEPLOYED UNDER REQUESTED 

EXEMPTIONS 

Petitioner currently owns a DJI Phantom 2 Vision quad-copter. The petitioner 

intends to use the Phantom 2 Vision as the primary UA V in commercial applications 

described herein. The Phantom 2 Vision is a quad-copter that can take off and land 

vertically. It weighs approximately 3 lbs. and has a maximum airspeed of 

approximately 25 knots. This UAS uses a lithium polymer battery, which gives this 

Page 2 of 10 
UAS approximately 20-25 minutes of flight time with sufficient remaining battery 

charge to land safely. The particular model of Phantom 2 being utilized under this 

request for exemption has First Person View (FPV), which allows the PIC to 

visually monitor certain telemetry data on a ground station monitor including 

altitude (AGL), GPS signal strength, battery charge information, etc. This FPV also 

gives the PIC video feed from the attached camera showing what images are being 

captured. This is a significant safety feature as it shows the attitude of the UAS and 

its forward direction. However, this FPV feature will never be used as a tool to 

deviate from VLOS operation by the PIC. 

The UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA) 

The UAS to be deployed here is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision.

PREFLIGHT 

The petitioner will always follow procedures outlined in the UAS operator's manual as to 

proper preflight inspection of all hardware, software, environment and any other factors 

needed to ensure a safe flight. 

PIC QUALIFICATIONS 

The petitioner holds a FAA Commercial Pilot's License with an instrument rating. 

Petitioner has over 1200 hours PIC time in a variety of aircraft including Cessna 15 0' s, 

Piper Cherokee (PA-140), Twin Aero Commanders, and Lockheed P3-0RION (P3A & 

P3B), with the majority being in the Lockheed P3-0RION. Petitioner has owned the UAS 

described above since March 2014 and has over 50 hours of documented flight time in 

this type ofUAS as a hobbyist. The petitioner envisions being the PIC in all operations 

that will be performed under the requested rule exemptions and the subsequent COA 

request. However, if another PIC is used for these operations, petitioner agrees that any 

PIC ofthe UAS in the envisioned operations will hold at least a FAA Private pilots 

certificate, hold at least a 3rd class medical certificate, or a valid, state issued driver's 

Page 4 of 10 
license and have no less than 25 hours of PIC time in the UAS being deployed before 

beginning any type of commercial for hire operations and conform to all safety protocols. 

We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision 

corrected to 20120 and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement 

will ensure that the PIC and VO can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is 

medically qualified to operate a much larger vehicle. 

DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS 

Petitioner intends to solicit work for aerial real estate inspections and marketing from 

real estate agents & brokers, property inspection companies, insurance companies & 

related vendors, banks and private property owners to provide photography and 

videography of residential, commercial and rural real estate. This work will always 

be conducted with the permission of the property owner or their respective agent. 

Flight operations will be restricted to flights directly over the property that has 

granted permission. Given the type of work being targeted here, the Petitioner does 

not foresee any instance where the UAS would be flown over any crowds or 

assemblages of people in an open-air environment. If in fact any job does entail 

flights over crowds, petitioner will elect not to make said flight. Safety will always 

be the primary concern regarding any flight at any time. 

Petitioner agrees to place a sign during any flight operation that says: CAUTIONUNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE IN OPERATION. STAY BACK 100 FEET 

FROM AIRCRAFT. 

OPERATING PARAMETERS 

The UAS being deployed in this exemption request can fly at a speed of 

approximately 25 knots. However, given the intended use describe here, this speed 

will never be necessary. Much slower speeds are preferred to collect the 

photographic material needed. 

The UAV System will be operated in the field with both a PIC and aVO in accordance 

with FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" and with 

the following Restrictions: 

(a) No flight will be made with a UA Gross weight exceeding 55 pounds; 

(b) All operations must occur in FAA Class G airspace at no more than 400 ft AGL, 

at an airspeed of no more than 25 knots and no further than 3/4 NM from the PIC; 

(c) Petitioner agrees to use a Visual Observer (VO) during all operations. The VO will 

be used to help visually track the UA while in flight. The VO and PIC must be able 

to communicate by voice at all times during a flight operation; 

(d) Operations will be restricted to flights over private property with the permission of 

the property owner; 

(e) The UAS System will not be operated over densely populated areas; 

(f) The UAS System will not be operated at air shows; 

(g) The UAS System will not be operated over any open-air assembly of people; 

Page 5 oflO 
(h) The UAS System will not be operated over heavily trafficked roads; 

(i) The PIC will brief the VO and property owner about the operation and risk before 

the first flight at each new location; 

G) No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight Inspection by the PIC before each 

operation to ascertain that the UA is in a condition safe for flight (see Appendix A). 

(k) Although the UAS being deployed has an approximate control link distance of 3/4 

mile, this is much more than VLOS will allow. Petitioner agrees never to fly UAS 

outside ofVLOS. 

(1) Petitioner will only fly UAS during the day in VMC conditions. Given the petitioner 

agrees to never fly higher than 300 feet AGL, distance from clouds should not be a 

factor if flown in VMC conditions. 

(m) The UAS will not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as 

denoted on a current FAA published aeronautical chart. 

(n) The UAS being deployed with these exemption requests has the capability of using 

GPS signals to return to its initial point of take off if connection with the radio 

control link is lost. 

( o) The petitioner agrees to yield right of way to all manned aviation activities at all 

times. 

EXEMPTION REQUESTS 

The following are a list of Title 14 CF As which the petitioner seeks exemption. 

Please note that the Petitioner has used Exemption No. 11138 to Douglas Trudeau 

(Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0481) as a reference. Given that the petitioner and 

Mr. Trudeau intend to use the exemptions in similar manners and both use similar 

equipment, it seemed prudent not to burden the reviewer in this matter with 

exemption requests that have been previously deemed that relief was not necessary. 

These rules are Part 21, 45.23(b), 91.9(b)(2), 91.103(b), 91.109 and 91.203(a) & (b). 

If the reviewer believes that these rules need to be addressed in this request, the 

petitioner will make a supplemental request including these additional rule 

exemptions. 

RULE 61.113 PRIVATE PILOT PREVELEGES AND LIMITATIONS 

The Petitioner currently holds an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate. His other 

ratings include AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND & SEA; AIRPLANE 

MULTIENGINE LAND; INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE. He also holds a L-188 Type 

Rating. 

The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot 

in command of an aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private 

pilot to act as pilot in command of an aircraft in connection with any business or 

employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) 

The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. 

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b), private pilots are limited to noncommercial 

operations. I, Henry Clay Lehman, can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved 

by current Regulations because my UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. The 

risks attended to the operation of my UAS is far less than the risk levels inherent in the 

Page 6 of 10 
commercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, et seq. Thus, allowing me to operate my 

UAS meet and exceed current safety levels in relation to 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b). In 

addition, Grant ofExemption No. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (Astraeus), the FAA 

determined that a PIC with a private pilot certificate operating the Astraeus UAS would 

not adversely affect operations in the NAS or present a hazard to persons or property on 

the ground. 

As to private pilot limitations concerning operations for hire or compensation, it seems 

that Exemption No. 11062 to Astraeus has allowed this exemption previously and was 

noted in the Trudeau Exemption No. 11138. 

As to airmanship skills, the Petitioner has been operating his UAS since March 2014 and 

has over 50 hours of logged flight time. Petitioner currently fly's this UAS several hours a 

month as a hobby and is very proficient and has the skills to maintain altitude, maintain 

VLOS, navigate, avoid obstacles, avoid air traffic and respond to loss of control link. 

Petitioner understands that he must make at least 3 takeoffs and landings within a 90-day 

period for currency purposes 

RULE 91.7(a) CIVIL AIRCRAFT AIRWORTHINESS 

There is no current FAA regulatory standard for determining airworthiness of U AS 

and there is no certificate currently available for UAS airworthiness. Petitioner seeks 

an exemption from this rule by ensuring that the UAS is in an airworthy condition 

based on compliance with the operating documents prior to every flight. Flight 

manuals and other important documents will be kept in a location readily accessible 

to the PIC at all times. 

RULE 91.119(c) MINIMUM SAFE ALTITUDES 

91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft, but it allows 

helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. Petitioner seeks an 

exemption from this rule as Petitioner will only operate the UAS in a range from 

ground level up to but not exceeding 300 feet (AGL) and will only operate in safe 

areas away from the public thus providing a level of safety not available to manned 

aircraft. The petitioner asserts that given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed 

of the UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved that from 

conventional manned helicopters. 

Petitioner will avoid actively populated areas. These areas will be interpreted to 

include areas on a FVR chart depicted in yellow and will be supplemented with 

information from a Flights Standard District Office (FSDO). Petitioner intends to 

operate the UAS over real estate for inspection purposes. Petitioner will not operate 

over any assemblage of people in an open-air environment. 

Per the exemption granted in No. 1113 8 concerning 91.119( c), Petitioner agrees to 

act in strict accordance to that exemption. However, Petitioner seeks an exemption 

from the rule stipulating that a UAS cannot be operated within 500 feet of a structure 

without permission of the owner. Given the intended use Petitioner will use these 

Page 7 of 10 
exemptions for, which is for photography and videography of real estate for 

marketing & inspection purposes, agreement from the engaging property owner or 

their agent is an absolute necessity. The UAS will only be flown over properties with 

this permission. However, given the housing density in certain areas in Kerrville, TX 

area, maintaining a 500-foot distance from other structures even while strictly flying 

over a permission granting owner's property is impossible in many instances. The 

Petitioner seeks an exemption to this rule, which would allow a 50' standoff from 

other structures as long as the UAS is operated completely over and within the 

property boundary lines of a permission granting property owner. Petitioner agrees to 

always keep privacy rights of other property owners in mind and will never engage a 

UAS in any type of surveillance or spying 

RULE 91.121 ALTIMETER SETTINGS 

Petitioners' UAS has GPS derived altitude capabilities. The petitioner believes this 

rule is not applicable to the UAS operations intended. 

RULE 91.151(a) FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR FLIGHT IN VFR CONDITIONS 

Petitioner seeks relief from this rule due to the UAS being deployed is battery operated 

and the requirements under this rule are not applicable. The UAV in question has First 

Person Vision capabilities, which transmits certain telemetry to a monitor where the PIC 

can monitor certain aspects of the flight including battery level. A typical battery for a 

Phantom 2 UAS will last approximately 20-25 minutes before total exhaustion. Certain 

battery level warnings are set where the PIC will know when the battery state is at 30% 

and 15% remaining charge levels. This will normally allow a flight of 12- 15 minutes 

with sufficient battery charge to make a safe landing. Petitioner will never begin a flight 

unless a fully charged battery is used. 

RULE 91.405(a) MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, 91.407(a) OPERATION AFTER 

MAINTENANCE, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE, REBUILDING OR 

ALTERATION; 91.404(a)(2) INSPECTIONS; 91.417(a)(b) MAINTENANCE 

RECORDS 

Petitioner seeks relief from these rules due to it being an alternate inspection 

requirement of91.409(a)(2). The Petitioner will inspect and ensure UAS is in a 

condition for safe flight and adhere to all operating documents.

CLOSING 

The Petitioner believes that exemption from the above listed Title 14 CFRs is 

warranted given Petitioner's background as a Commercial Pilot, the nature of the type 

ofUAS flights that will be undertaken, the size & weight of the UAS being deployed, 

the safety precautions to the general public and the NAS the Petitioner intends to 

adhere to, the positive environmental impact the flight operations would have 

compared to manned fuel consuming missions and the economic benefit the 

Petitioner's business would have in this new area of aviation. 

Thank you for your review of this matter. Please feel free to contact me at any time with 

any questions regarding this matter.

PHANTOM 2 VISION Product Release Notes 

Firmware Updates on Nov 17 

a) The Phantom 2 Vision Autopilot's firmware has been upgraded to vl.05. 

b) The Central Board firmware has been upgraded to vl.O.l.18. 

c) The PC Assistant Software has been upgraded to vl.05. 

d) The Cell Phone App has been upgraded to (iOS App: vl.0.29 Android App: vl.0.33), they are now 

under App store reviews. 

e) The User Guide has been updated to vl.04. 

New 

a) Professional users can use the PC Assistant Software (vl.05) to enter a /{Naza-like" Mode, enabling IOC 

and original Atti, GPS and Manual Modes. The LED flight indicator will behave like the Naza, not the 

Phantom 2 Vision. Please alert users to only enter the Naza-like Mode if they are experienced pilots as 

more and more Phantom 2 Vision users will be those with no experience of flying. 

b) Contact pins may fail when the Phantom 2 Vision is still in the air, triggering an "Invalid Battery" 

warning. This causes autopilot to receive a 110" battery level, triggering the auto-landing failsafe. After 

updating to Autopilot (v1.05) and Central Board (vl.O.l.18), the /{Invalid Battery" warning will not occur 

in-flight, even if contact pins fail. This will prevent auto-landing. Autopilot will provide warnings if 

battery voltage drops lower than 10.65V (Autopilot can track battery percentage with and without the 

contact pins). If using iOS app vl.0.29, a message box will pop up to warn that "There has been a 

battery communication failure. Please fly carefully and bring your Phantom 2 Vision back to you ASAP." 

c) PS: The Phantom 2 Vision is "Ready To Fly," "Ready to Capture" and "Ready to Share" but it is still an 

aircraft. Keeping contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may cause a 

communication failure. 

d) 2nd Level Low Battery Warning is set to 15% instead of 20%. 

e) A new level of protection is a hidden third low battery voltage in addition to the 1st and 2nd battery 

level (percentage) warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd 

Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pulling 

up on the throttle.) 

f) Switching the 52 from upper most position to its bottom most position for at !east 5 times will reset the 

home point of Phantom 2 Vision. Definition of /{home point" is i) where the Phantom 2 Vision return to 

when control signal is lost ii) the home position which is used to calculate the horizontal distance 

between you and the aircraft which is displayed on your cell phone app. When the home point is set, 

you will see a very short period of fast green light flashing on the LED Flight Indicator. 

g) The map used in the 11Find My Phantom 2 Vision" is changed to Google Map in Android App (v1.0.33). 

h) Other minor bugs fixed. 

Special 

a) Must use the latest PC Assistant Software (v1.05). 

b) Must upgrade both Autopilot (vl.05) and Central Board (v1.0.1.18). 

©2013-2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 11 
PHANTOM 2 VISION Product Release Notes 

c) Before switching to Naza-like Mode, you need to update autopilot and central board first. 

d) Latest Cell Phone App is under review by app stores, the only major difference will be, by using earlier 

version app, you won't get the popup message "battery communication failure". But it really doesn't 

matter that much. The review takes about 1 week. 

Firmware Updates on Nov 5 

a) The Phantom 2 Vision5.8GHz Receiver's firmware has been upgraded to vl.0.1.3. 

b) The Phantom 2 Vision 5.8GHz Remote Controller's firmware has been upgraded to v1.0.2.22. 

c) The PC Remote Controller Assistant Software has been released(vl.OO). 

New 

a) The algorithm is improved so that even under CE compliant mode, the communication range of 

Remote Controller can achieve around 400 meters in open areas. 

b) By using the Remote Controller's PC Assistant Software, users can calibrate the sticks and switch 

between Mode 1 and Mode 2. 

c) Other minor bugs fixed. 

a) Users must upgrade both ofthe Remote Controller and Receiver. Upgrading only one of them will 

result in potential communication failures. 

b) The hidden USB port is located inside the Remote Controller. Follow the video guide on the Remote 

Controller.

3 Preparing the Remote Controller 

The PHANTOM 2 VISION remote controller is a wireless communication device that uses the 5.8GHz frequency 

band. It is compliant with CE and FCC (see the FCC ID) regulations and is set to Mode 2 before delivery. The 

compliance version can be configured by twisting the potentiometer knob on the back of the remote controller. 

The stick configuration can also be reset in the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Refer to the PHANTOM RC Assistant 

and the Compliance Version Configuration (Page 12) for details. 

(l) CE compliant devices have an effective communication range of 300 meters in open spaces due 

to power limitations. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter 

Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond this range. 

(2) FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 500 meters in open spaces. Be sure to watch 

your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go 

home and land) if it flies beyond this range. 

(3) Pay attention to and follow local laws and regulations.

clock-wise. 

Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate 

clock-wise. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will 

remain facing the same direction. 

The yaw stick controls the rotating angular velocity of 

the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center 

results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity. 

The pitch stick controls the aircraft's front & back tilt. 

Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly 

forward. 

Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly 

backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the 

stick is centered. 

Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center 

will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35 •) and 

faster flight velocity. 

The roll stick controls the aircraft's left & right tilt. 

Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fly left. 

Push the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fly right.
