## RE: Exem

**ption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act**  Dear Sir or Madam: We respectfully request exemption under Section 333 of the FAA Reform ACT and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations. **Petitioner:** Eric Hall, Innovations 10.01 LLC (INNOVATIONS) 1001 Locust Suite 200 Kansas City, Missouri Telephone: 816

- 8777 Email: eric.hall@innovations1001.com INNOVATIONS intends to incorporate the use of SUAS for a variety of projects which may include but not be limited to project and construction management, inspections and monitoring; environmental review projects; aerial surveying; agricultural projects; educational and research projects; aerial filmmaking, photography and real estate purposes; search and rescue, etc. **Specific Section**  **(s) seeking exemption:** 14 C.F.R Part 21 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b)14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) and (b) 1 4 C.F.R. 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2)14 C.F.R. 91.10914 C.F.R. 91.119 (b) 14 C.F.R. 91.21514 C.F.R. 91.104 through 91.417 **Extend of relief requested:** To permit commercial operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (SUASs) for operations conducted w ithin and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333. Said exem

ption would permit the operation of SUASs under controlled

## conditions in limited, predetermined and controlled airspace. Upon granting

of this proposed exemption request, INNOVATIONS would conduct commercial operations of SUASs meeting or exceeding all operational and safety requirements per Section 333. **Public Benefit:**

1. Project and construction management, inspections and monitoring. The use of S UASs on construction sites can improve the safety of workers, local residents and general public by assessing potential dangerous situations. Falls and injuries may be reduced or eliminated through a mo re thorough review of the construction sites. Visual inspections of fall protection systems on buildings and bridges can be surveyed without placing workers at risk. In some cases, S UASs may reduce the reliance of fixed wing aircraft to monitor and document site conditions . This may improve saf ety as well as reduce environmental im pact by reducing energy usage; 2. Environmental Review projects. The use of S UASs during the process of rev iewing projects as required by 1 4 C.F.R. 50.4, 58.5 and 58.6 would provide a more in

- depth Environmental Review of the project site as well as surrounding areas. Reliance of helicopters or small aircraft may be eliminated; 3. Aerial surveying. The use of S UASs in connection with aerial surveying of smaller areas may eliminate the use of helicopters or aircraft. This could provide a more cost effective, safer and more energy efficient product; 4. Remot e Sensing projects. The use of S UASs could provide views and information for remote and inaccessible areas. This could promote worker safety as well as reduce the reliance on helicopters and aircraft; 5. Educational and Research projects. The use of S UASs could provide information for said projects in a more cost effective and efficient manner than other available options; 7. Aerial filmmaking, photography and re al estate pur poses. The use of

## S UASs may provide a point of view previously unavailable through

other means. They would be more cost effective, efficient and more safe than helicopters and aircraft; and 8. Search and rescue. The use of S UASs may provide assistance to lo cal law organizations during search and rescue missions. SUASs may reach areas unattainable or viewable with helicopters and aircraft. SUASs may be implemented quicker as time is of the essence during search and rescue operations. **Reasons why the exempti on would not adversely affect safety or how the**  **exemption would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rule.**  Proposed operations using S UASs provide increased safety enhancement especially when compared with helicopters and aircraft for the following reasons:
1. The S UASs will weigh less than ten (10) pounds; 2. Flights will be operated within the visual line of sight of the pilot; 3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be thirty (30) minutes. Flight times may be le ss than thirty (30) minutes as the UAS will continuously monitor battery reserve and return to the ground station with at least 15 % battery power reserved; 4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of 200 feet AGL. Flights will never exceed 400 feet AGL; 5. Minim

um crew for each operation will consist of the S UAS pilot and a Visual Observer; 6. A briefing will be conducted daily by a ll personnel working with said S UAS; 7. Written and/or oral permission from relative property owners will be obtained prior to operating the S UAS;

## 8. All permits, permissions, etc. will be obtained from local government

offices as required; 9. The S UAS operated will weigh less than 55 pounds including payload (camera, lens, gim

bal, etc.); and 10. The S UAS will operate at speeds less than 50 knots, hover and sim ultaneously move vertically and horizontally; 11. The S UAS will have the capability to return and land at the pre

determined location with the Security Perimeter should the S UAS lose communication or GPS signal during any operations; 12. The S UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies; 14. Operations will not be conducted over densely populated areas or heavily traffic highways; and 15. Operations will not be conducted within five (5) NM of an airport or heliport. INNOVATIONS will abide by all regulations including the following: 1. 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Certification Procedures for Products and Parts. Airworthiness Certificates; 2. 14 C.F.R. 45.23 Display of marks; general and 45.29 Size of marks; 3. 14 C.F.R. 61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in Command and 61.133 Commercial pilot privileges and limitations; 4. 14 C.F.R. 91.7 Civil aircraft airworthiness; 5. 14 C.F.R. 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking and placard requirements; 6. 14 C.F.R. 91.109 Flight instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests;

## 7. 14 C.F.R. 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: general;

8. 14 C.F.R. 91.121 Altimeter settings; 9. 14 C.F.R. 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions; 10. 14 C.F.R. 91.203 Civil aircraft: Certifications required; 11. 14 C.F.R. 91.205 Powered civil aircraft with standard category U.S. airworthiness certificates: Instrument and equipment requireme nts; 12. 14 C.F.R. 91.215 ATC transponder and altitude reporting equipment and use; 13. 14 C.F.R. 91.401 Applicability; 14. 14 C.F.R. 91.403 General; 15. 14 C.F.R. 91.405 Maintenance required; 16. 14 C.F.R. 91.407 Operation after maintenance, preventive maintenance , rebuilding or alteration; 17. 14 C.F.R. 91.409 Inspections; 18. 14 C.F.R. 91.411 Altimeter system and altitude reporting equipment tests and inspections; 19. 14 C.F.R. 91.413 ATC transponder tests and inspections; 20. 14 C.F.R. 91.415 Changes t o aircraft inspection programs; and 21. 14 C.F.R. 91.417 Maintenance records. **Privileges of exemption outside the United States.** INNOVATIONS does NOT wish to exercise the privileges of this exem ption outside the United States
