### Re: Exemption Request Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations from 14C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14C.F.R. 61.113(a)&(b); 91.7(a); 91.9(b) (2); 91.103(b); 91.109; 119.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a)&(b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a) (1); 91.409(a) (2); 91.417(a)&(b) Dear Sir or Madam, I, Jeffrey Skelley, am writing pursuantto the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11,to requestthat I, Jeffrey Skelley, an owner and operator ofsmall unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) listed so that I may operate my small, light weight unmanned aircraftsystem (UAS) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). I am a former first lieutenant in the Arizona Wing ofthe Civil Air Patrol, the Search and Rescue arm ofthe United States Air Force, Squadron 205, Sedona Arizona. Iflew close to 50 SAR's (Search and Rescue missions) in my 4 years as Mission Rated Pilot. I also served as Senior Flight Operations Officer, (AppendixA), and often coordinated flight activities in concert with the DEA (Coyotes) and Federal and local Police and firefighting agencies. I have examined virtually every square mile ofthe state ofArizona from an altitude of300 to 500 feet, the optimum altitudefor spotting, when manytimes the slightest error could prove fatal. I can state thatflying a UAS which contains no flammable material (or me) over mountainous, rocky, wooded territory is far saferthan anything Iflew in the past. It is impossible to compare the two. In addition toflyingthe USAF corporate CAP bird, a Cessna 182, I flew over 350 hours in my own plane, a Globe Swift. I am thoroughlyfamiliar with airspace and communication regulations countrywide, statewide, and particularly locally, where a half hourflight over our beautiful Sedona country was the way my wife and Istarted our morning on many occasions. The factthat I hold a Private Pilot certificate and performed with honors forthe USAF CAP demonstrates my high regard for safe operations as well as havingthe necessary high-level understanding ofthe NAS and FAR's. I have also worked offand on in the film production industry as a writer, director and cameraman in New York, Las Vegas and Los Angeles for over 30years. I photographed for an aerial photography business taking pictures of expensive real estate and mansions in Newport Rl, which proved to me the value ofaerial real 

### 1

### Jeffrey Skelley, JeffSkelley Studio, Sedona AZ, Section 333 Exemption Petition estate photos and video. I have made over 600 TV commercials, and filmed bits of every kind of motion picture and TV production imaginable. I was a producerfor Channel 18 in Sedona, and helped produce videos for Land Rover/Range Rover locally and served as cameraman/safety diverfor a National Geographic production "Catch and Release" in the Carribbean. I am a licensed US Coast Guard 100ton Master Ship's Captain and that's another reason why I understand notjustwhat regulations are, but why they are. I became interested in UAS's during a filmmaker's EXPO in Hollywood in 2010, when I metsome ofthe makers ofthe movie Oceans. 

### Asmall helicopter drone was used to amazing advantage and I realized then the incredible potential ofthetechnology. At the time, the professional level ofthis kind offilming was extremely expensive, but I had discovered a very interesting hobbythat I hoped toturn into a business someday. Because ofthe incredible strides in UAS technology overthe lastfew years, and the affordability, someday is now. I work with several small UAS's, and utilize a simulator before and after everyflightto analyze performance. The simulator can create or duplicate almost every conceivable scenario and I consider it mandatory in all myflight operations. I always operate in accordance with FAA rules as to altitudes and airspace restrictions, and in accordance with MTOM guidelines (Motion Picture and Television Operations Manual). Flights are planned in advance to eliminate hazards to persons and property. Required permits are obtained. The operator limits or controls access to provide safety. All flights are line-of-sight, and a spotter is always used. I always carry a handheld 720 channel aircraft radio tuned to the appropriate airtraffic frequency and a GPS. These drones all have the same basic light weights, and flight and safety characteristics. I expectto obtain a DJI Inspire (Appendix B) when it comes available sometime in February which will become my primary platform for video productions. I wantto establish my company in the Sedona area, our home forthe past 25 years, considered one ofthe most beautiful places on earth (Appendix C). I will be working primarilywith the Realtor's Association, who expect to benefitfinancially by adding the kind of proven value only a UAS video can make to their presentations. I will also sell the area itselfwhich supports every kind of outdoor activitythat has made Sedona a world class destination. The area abounds with archaeological and anthropological study areas that would value the UAV's unique perspective. The community college here has a highly acclaimed film school that could be exposed to the limitless benefits that UAS's promise in film, science, and agriculture. I want to share with these other agencies, and the FAA, any relevant information this new field stimulates. With my experience as a pilot and videographer, I believe I can set an example forthe safe, responsible flight operations of a UAS, just as I did forthe CAP. Education is the catalystthat leads to compliance and I hope to be active in presenting notjustthe economic benefits of drones but also to demonstrate the safety issues to everyone's satisfaction. All great ideas have critics, until education finally proves their worth. I hope to dojustthat.

### Jeffrey Skelley, JeffSkelley Studio, Sedona AZ, Section 333 Exemption Petition I respectfully request the grant of an exemption allowing me to operate light weight, remote controlled UAS's to enhance real estate listingvideos, to create responsible awareness ofthis economically powerful technology, to further education in creative applications of UAS's, to increase tourism tothis vacation driven economy, and, if requested, to assist in search and rescue operations. The size, speed, operating environment, limitations and level ofoperator's experience provide an "equivalent level ofsafety" or better when operating a UAS forthe public interest as outlined in Section 333 in the FAA modernization and Reform Act of2012.

The size, weight, and enclosed operations area ofthe proposed lightweight UAS's permits exemption from Part 21 because the UAS meets and exceeds an equivalent level of safety pursuantto Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. 14C.F.R. 91.7(a) Prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FAR's, this regulation is inapplicable. 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b) (2) Requires an aircraftflight manual in the aircraft. As there are no on board pilots or passengers, and given the size ofthe UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738,9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700and 32827. 14 C.F.R. 91.121 Regarding altimeter settings is inapplicable insofar as the UAS's applied for all use electronic global positioning systems with a barometric sensor.Aiso, line ofsight operations provide separation from other aircraft, obstructions, and terrain, providing an equivalent level ofsafety.

### AZ., Section 333 Exemption Petition 14C.F.R. 91.203 (a) and (b) Provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and registrations. These are inapplicable forthe same reasons described above. The equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved by maintaining any such required certifications and registrations by the operator, Jeffrey Skelley. 14 C.F.R. 45.23; Markingofthe Aircraft Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require aircraftto be marked accordingto certain specifications. UAS's are by definition unmanned and have no cockpit or cabin on which to fix letters or numbers. Also, the aircraft is smaller than the minimum required size ofthe letters and numbers stipulated. The FAA has previously issued exemptions tothis regulation through Exemptions Nos. 8738, 10167, 10167 A and 10700. 14 C.F.R. 61.113; Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: PIC Persuantto 14C.F.R. 61.113 (a) and (b), private pilots are limited to non-commercial operations. I, Jeffrey Skelley, can achieve an equivalent level ofsafety as achieved by current Regulations because my UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. The risks of operating my UAS are far less than the risk levels in the commercial activities outlined in C.F.R. 61 et seq., thus allowing me to operate my UAS only in a way that meets and exceeds current safety levels in relation to 14 C.F.R. 61.113 (a) and (b). 14 C.F.R. 91.119; Minimum SafeAltitudes Prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. My UAS will never be operated above 400 AGL, and rarely more than halfthat. Itwill also be operated away from public and traffic, providing a level ofsafety below the standard of400 AGL, equivalentto or below current minimum safe altitudes. Given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed of my UAS, an equivalent or higher level ofsafety will be achieved. 14 C.F.R. 91.45 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417 (a) and (b); Maintenance Inspections Requires, amongst otherthings, that aircraft owners and operators to "have [the] aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart Eofthis part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) ofthis section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 ofthis chapter...." These regulations apply onlyto an aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. They will not, therefore, applyto my UAS. However, as a safety precaution I will inspect my UAS before and after everyflight. ASummarythe FAA May Publish in the Federal Register 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14C.F.R. 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals, and the Like. 14 21 Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR 91.203 (a) (1). The size, weight, and enclosed operational area of my UAS permits exemption from 4

### Jeffrey Skelley, JeffSkelley Studio, Sedona AZ, Section 333 Exemption Petition Part 21 because my UAS meets an equivalent level ofsafety pursuantto Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraftfrom the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. 44701 (f) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permitthe FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration ofthe weight, size, speed maneuverability and proximityto areas such as airports and dense populations. My UAS meets or exceeds each ofthe elements. 14C.F.R. 91.7 (a) prohibitsthe operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As nom such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FAR's, this regulation is inapplicable. 14C.F.R. 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraftflight manual in the aircraft. As there are no pilots or passengers, and given the size ofthe UAS's, this regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved by maintaining a manual. The FAA has previously issued exemptions tothis regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737,8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 10167 maintenance program that involves regular software updates and curative measures for any damaged hardware. Therefore an equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved. In Summary, Jeffrey Skelleyseeks an exception from thefollowing Regulations: 14 C.F.R. 21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R. 45.23 (b); 14C.F.R. 61.113 (a) and (b); 14C.F.R. 91.7 (a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9 (b) (2); 14 C.F.R. 91.103 (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 91.119; 14C.F.R. 91.121; 14C.F.R. 91.151 (a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203 (a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.405 (a); 14C.F.R. 91.407 (a) (1); 14C.F.R. 91.409 (a) (2); 14 C.F.R. 91.409 (a) (2); and 14C.F.R. 91..417 (a) (b) to commercially operate my small unmanned lightweight aircraftto provide a beneficial and currently unavailable service to government organizations and the general public thatwill serve the public interest. It is possible to operate UAS's so as notto pose a threatto national security orthe public ifdone so safely and responsibly. I, Jeffrey Skelley, have proven in my actions as USAF CAP Search and Rescue Mission Pilot and Flight Operations Officer, and US Coast Guard Licensed Master Captain, that I will perform my duties as UAS pilot in a safe manner and in accordance with established rules of conduct. I hereby respectfully requestthatthe FAA grant my exemption request.

## INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM A fully integrated intelligent battery powers your Inspire 1 and virtually manages itself. When in flight, your remaining battery power is shown live, letting you know how long you can continue to fly. Advanced algorithms calculate the distance ofyour aircraft and estimated time to return home, lettingyou know when it's time to fly back. The battery reports the voltage of each cell, the total lifetime charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status. All this helps you keep your Inspire 1 in the air and flying foryears to come.
