1200 New Jersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act. Dear Siror Madam : Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act), Pop DemoKrat, dba as Pop DemoKrat Aerial (the operator), Saritta Hines (the applicant), planned operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUASss) equipped to conduct aerial photography/videography and survey for various industries hereby applies for an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) to allow commercial operation of their sUASss, so long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein oras may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333. As described more fully below, the requested exemption would permit the operation of sUASs by the applicant for commercial use that would provide the following benefits : 1. Operations would be performed inan area of operation limited in size suitable to the specific use, in advance of flight . 2. The flight would be planned in advance to minimize hazards to persons and property in the air and on the ground. 3. The operator would reasonably limit or control access to provide safety to those not involved in the operation . 4. Operation ofa sUASs would provide significant safety, environmental and other enhancements not possible by larger sized aircraft. 5. Provide a beneficial and currently unavailable service to government organizations and the general public that would serve the public interest. Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation's (the FAA Administrator's) responsibilities to"... establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system. " Section 333(c) of the Reform Act. Itis possible to operate sUASss soto not create a hazard to users of the National Airspace System (NAS), the public or pose a threat to national security if done so safely and responsibly .The applicant has demonstrated their willingness to act safely and responsibly by not engaging in commercial sUASs operations. Theapplicant has, in fact, worked with FAA employees at the local FSDO inan effort to find a safe and legal solution to permit commercial operation. Additionally, the fact that the applicant currently holds a FAA

Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (ATP), and a current FAA Flight Instructor Certificate (CFI) demonstrates that the applicant hasa high regard to safe operations, as well asa necessary high-level understanding of the NAS and FARs. The experience these two FAA certificates represent serves to add significantly to the level of safety in any operation performed by the applicant or the applicant's employees. AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY The applicant proposes that the exemption requested herein apply to civil aircraft that have the characteristics of sUASs and that operate with the limitations listed herein. These limitations provide for at least an equivalent or higher level of safety to operations under the current regulatory structure as the proposed operations represent a safety enhancement to the already safe aerial commercial photography and survey operations conducted with conventional aircraft. The sUASs's planned tobe operated are rotorcraft and fixed wing aircraft, each weighing 55or fewer pounds including payload. They would operate, under normal conditions, ata speed ofno more than 50

knots. The principal construction material of these sUASs craft would be foam and/or plastic. Operations will be performed bya qualified sUASs PIC, as outlined below, to insure that the sUASs will "not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public." Given the small size of the sUASss involved and the pre-planned environment within which they will operate, the applicant believes that these operations fall squarely within that zone of safety (an equivalent level of safety) in which Congress envisioned that the FAA must, by exemption, allow commercial operations of sUASss to commence immediately. Also, operation ina researched (to include applicable NOTAMs), pre-defined area will prevent the possibility ofa national security issue. The operation of sUASss by knowledgeable professionals with experience in the NAS will serve to enhance safety, add to the public benefit and reduce environmental impacts related to current methods of aerial photography and survey .

These limitations and conditions to which the operator, orits employees, acting as sUASs PIC agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations under an FAA issued exemption: 1. Safety will be the first and foremost consideration in any sUASs operation. 2. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the PIC and oran observer. 3. The sUASs will weigh less than 55 lbs. total. 4. Flights will be operated in Class G airspace whenever possible. If operation in other airspace is required, the relevant controlling agency will be notified at least 24 hours prior to the operation and, if required, any necessary permission obtained. 5. Flights will be operated under visibility and cloud clearance requirements equivalent to Visual Flight Rules (VFR). 6. The sUASs will atall times give way to any aircraft carrying persons. 7. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUASs PIC. An observer will be utilized if the sUASs will be flown beyond line of sight of the PIC. The observer, if required, and PIC will at

all times be able to communicate by voice and/or text.8. Prior toa sUASs flight, an area of operation will be established. This area of operation will include a defined lateral and vertical area, where the sUASs will operate. Safety procedures will be established for persons, property and applicable airspace within the area of operation. 9. Flight planning will include flight completion with at least 25% battery power remaining as measured by the sUASs or appropriate timing. 10. The, sUASs aircraft will utilize GPS navigation, failsafe, return-to-home (RTH) and/or flight abort safety features. 11.A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned sUASs operations prior to operation at each new location. All personnel who will be performing duties within the boundaries of the area of operation will be present for this briefing. 12. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from appropriate state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies. 13. Written, to include electronic, and/or oral permission from the relevant property owners will be obtained prior toan operation. 14. The sUASs pilot will be trained in advance for the safe operation of the sUASs tobe operated . This will include operation of the sUASs both in normal and emergency modes of operation, and will include familiarization with the operation manual (or similar) if published by the sUASs manufacturer. Training will also include types of maneuvers tobe performed and the safe operation in relation to persons, property and applicable airspace. 15. The sUASs PIC will establish a working relationship with a representative at the local FSDO with which to annually review safety procedures and other operations to further enhance safety. Itisthe applicant's belief that the size, speed, operating environment, limitations and level of applicant's experience in the NAS outlined provides an "equivalent level of safety" or better when operating a sUASs for the public interest as outlined in Section 333 in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. Itis requested that the FAA issue an exemption to permit safe, legal, commercial sUASs operation by the applicant as soon as possible. JkSaritta Hines

73 PepperwoodAliso Viejo, CA 92656 949-205-3790Appendix A EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY Pop DemoKrat, dba Pop DemoKrat Aerial, requests an exemption from the following regulations as well

as any additional regulations that may technically apply to the operation of sUASs's: 14 CFR Part21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates This part establishes the procedures for the issuance ofan airworthiness certificate. While the FAA continues to work to develop airworthiness standards for UAS, we request an experimental certificate be issued for the sUASs's operated by the applicant under either or both of the following provisions: 21.191 Experimental certificates . Experimental certificates are issued for the following purposes: (a) Research and development. Testing new aircraft design concepts, new aircraft equipment, new aircraft installations, new aircraft operating techniques, or new uses for aircraft . (b) Showing compliance with regulations. Conducting flight tests and other operations to show compliance with the airworthiness regulations including flights to show compliance for issuance of type and supplemental type certificates, flights to substantiate major design changes, and flights to show compliance with the function and reliability requirements of the regulations. Since the experimental

certificate can be used for commercial purposes such as market surveys, sales demonstrations, and customer crew training, we would expect that an experimental certificate would permit our commercial

purpose as well. The aircraft will not carry persons or property and will only fly under strict operational requirements. Combined with the fact that any aircraft operated would be light weight and is

constructed primarily out of foam or plastic, we propose that a sUASs will beat least as safe, ifnot safer, than a conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same function. Ifan experimental airworthiness certificate isnot appropriate for this application, then we request an exemption of14 CFR Part21 , Subpart H, and the requirement for an airworthiness certificate in general, citing the equivalent level of safety outlined in the previous paragraph . 14 CFR 91.203(a) &(b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that itis

legible to passengers or crew." A sUASs istoo small to carry documentation, does not have an entrance, and isnot capable of carrying passengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, we propose that documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft by the FAA will be colocated with the crew at the ground control station and available for inspection upon request .In order to identify the aircraft, we propose the use of the sUASs' unique manufacturers serial number, and a contact telephone number be mounted on the sUASs ona placard of reasonable size in relation to the

sUASs. In the event that a unique manufacturers serial number isnot available, the previously mentioned placard will be affixed to the sUASs consisting of the model name and number of the sUASs, as well asa contact telephone number .14 CFR 45.23 Display of marks; general and 45.29 Size of marks. These regulations provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's registration number in letters at least 3 inches high. Additionally, the aircraft must display the word "EXPERIMENTAL" in letters at least 2 inches high near the entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station. A sUASs does not have an entrance in which the word "EXPERIMENTAL" can be placed, and may not have a registration number assigned toitby the FAA. We propose to achieve an equivalent level of safety by including the word "EXPERIMENTAL" on the top or side of the aircraft, in the form ofa placard. The label will beofasize that will not overwhelm the aircraft, but will be reasonably readable to someone near the sUASs. The placard outlined in the previous paragraph will provide sufficient identity should someone discover the aircraft on the ground. 14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements. This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual isin the aircraft. The intent of this requirement isto ensure that flight manual information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. We request an exemption to this requirement since the sUASs cannot carry such a manual, and ifthe sUASs did carry such manual, it would be unavailable to the crew for review. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a current, sUASs operation manual or equivalent be available the crew at the ground station anytime the aircraft isin,or preparing for, flight. 14 CFR 91.109 Flight instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests The regulation provides that "No person may operate acivil aircraft that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls." The controls fora sUASs do not

currently have aset of fully functioning dual controls. Ifa sUASs pilot is being trained, the pilot performing the training would be directly supervising and could take over the controls from the pilot in training ifthe need arose. This would be similar to the technique ofa "throw-over type" control wheel in some fixed wing aircraft. We feel that this technique meets the intent 91 .109 and provides an equivalent level of safety. 14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General. The regulation provides that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the typical mission of this sUASs would be photography or survey of persons, vessels, vehicles or structures it would be necessary to operate closer than 500 feet to the items listed. Operations will only be flown over property or persons where permission has been obtained, and careful pre-planning has been performed. Further, sUASs aircraft operate ata very slow airspeed, and alow mass, and do not need as much space to operate safely, as outlined in 91.119. We believe the slower speed, smaller mass and careful pre-planning would provide an equivalent level of safety. 14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings. The regulation provides that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference toan altimeter setting available within 100 nautical miles of the aircraft. The sUASs will normally be flying close to the ground, and in line of sight of the PIC oran observer.This line of sight operation will provide separation from other aircraft, obstructions and terrain, and would override the use ofan altimeter for such a purpose. We feel that this will provide an equivalent

level of safety.

14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight inan airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel toflyto the first point of intended landing and tofly after that for at least 30 minutes. We feel the intention of this paragraph itto provide a reasonable reserve of energy to plan for a safe landing should there bea delay in landing. The close proximity to the ground station, the ability for both rotorcraft and small fixed wing aircraft to land ina very small space and the built in energy level monitoring of the sUASs we feel provide an equivalent level of safety ifthe flight is planned tobe completed with 2oo/o battery energy remaining. We request an exemption to the word "fuel" and ask for an equivalent interpretation with the word "energy". 14 CFR Subpart E {91.401-91.4171- Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, and Alterations The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft inan airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require that the aircraft be "approved for return to service bya person authorized under 43.7" after maintenance and inspection. Itisour intention that the PIC perform maintenance and inspection of the aircraft and "be authorized to approve the aircraft for return to service." Prior to every flight, the PIC will inspect the aircraft to ensure that itisinan airworthy condition. Any general maintenance procedures or replacement of consumable items outlined by the sUASs manufacturer, if applicable, will be complied with by the PIC. Inno circumstance willa sUASs be operated ina condition that is deemed, or suspected to be, unsafe. If such a determination is reached, and the problem cannot be remedied to the satisfaction of the PIC, the sUASs will not be operated until consulting with the manufacturer or one of its authorized dealers to complete necessary repairs. We feel that due to the size, construction, and simplicity of the aircraft, the PIC can ensure an equivalent level of safety . 8900.227 Paragraph 16{c) (4) PIC Medical. and Paragraph 16{e) {1) Observer Medical. This policy provides that both the PIC and observer must have a valid FAA second-class medical certificate issued under part 67in order to perform asa pilot or observer. Requiring the crew to meet the same medical requirements asa commercial pilot carrying passengers ina large aircraft isan unnecessary burden. We propose that the minimum medical requirements be vision corrected to 20/20 anda valid, state-issued driver's license. The risk of both the PIC and observer becoming incapacitated at the same time and suddenly is very low. Further, since the sUASs is operating close to the ground, it could be brought infor landing ina very short time if incapacitation was suspected. Finally, most sUASs's

are equipped with an automatic return to home feature which would provide a final level of safety. We feel this would provide an equivalent level of safety. Section 61.113(a) and (b) prescribes that- (a) no person who holds a private pilot certificate may actas a pilot in command ofan aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command ofan aircraft. (b)a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command ofan aircraft in connection with any business or employment if:(1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft doesnot carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. We propose that all operations will be within visual line-of-sight (i.e., no more than approximately 0.5 miles from the manipulator of the controls, or pilot in command (PIC)). Each PIC will conduct at least three take-offs and landings with the sUASs on which heor sheis trained every 90 days. PIC's will establish their qualifications thru a combination of aeronautical knowledge, UAS airmanship skills, and verification through testing of flight ability before infrastructures operations have commenced. Depending on the type of operation, additional groundbased visual observers may be employed as well. These observers will be within constant visual line of

sight and in constant contact with the PIC. The visual observers will assist the PICin avoiding objects near the sUASs. There are no standards for either Private or Commercial sUASs pilot certificates. The safe operation and control of the UAS as described in this application does not depend on the type of FAA license held by the PIC. Given the restricted and controlled airspace within which operations will take place, the key factors needed by the PIC are knowledge of the airspace within which the operation will take place and how that airspace fits into the National Airspace System (NAS). That knowledge can be and is gained primarily through ground school and not through flight training in fixed wing or rotor aircraft, norisit dependent on the acquisition ofa commercial or private pilot's certificate. Those certificates demonstrate knowledge of the factors and skills needed for the safe operation of those types of aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft). It cannot be assumed that a commercial pilot, approved to operate a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft, has the skill or ability to safely operate a small unmanned aerial vehicle, operating at 400 AGL or lower, within strictly controlled pre-approved airspace. Besides knowledge of

airspace regulations, dexterity in the control and operation of the sUASs acquired from actual operation of the aircraft isthe most important factor in establishing an equivalent level of safety. Ifthe PIC has acquired the necessary knowledge of airspace requirements, the relevant issues are (1) where the aircraft will be flown, (2) the size of the aircraft relative to what is being used today to accomplish the same mission, and (3) what precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of those in the area of operation. The aircraft be operated within a secure environment; and that no one be allowed to enter the secure environment unless they are part of the operation, have been fully briefed of the risks prior to operation of the sUASs, and have consented to the risks associated with being in the operating area. Should there bea mishap, the sUASs being flown pose significantly less ofa threat than the helicopters and fixed wing aircraft now being employed because they area fraction of the size, carry no flammable fuel, do not carry crew or passengers, and pose an infinitesimal risk to others. This isin stark contrast to conventional aircraft that are flown to the site, carry explosive fuel, carry passengers and crew, and operate ina much larger area. From a practical standpoint, there are relatively few licensed full-scale aircraft pilots who are also qualified tofly the type of sUASs that are utilized for infrastructure image-capture operations. There are even fewer commercial pilots that can fly these sUASs- to the point that todo both is considered rare. Assuming that itis unlikely fora company to find a pilot that

has both qualifications that company would either have to source a qualified sUASs pilot to train and obtain a commercial certificate, or find a commercial certificated pilot who would be willing to learn to flya sUASs to the competency level required for professional use.Appendix B Manufacturer's information regarding Phantom 3 Professional We have provided manufacturer information related to operating limitations, normal and emergency procedures, and maintenance and inspection procedures.

Make sure to calibrate the compass at f!NefY new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which

can cause abno<mal compass data, leading to poor fight pertorrn...,ce or even failurn. Regular caibratioo is required for optimal performance.1. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there Isa chance of strong magnetic interference, such as **magnet~e.** parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 2.00 NOT carry ferromagnetic matefials **~h** you duling calibration such as keys or cellular phones. 3.00 NOT calibrate beside massive metai objects. 4.nthe Aircraft Status Indicators are showing solid red, then try to calibrate again .n they are blinking red and yellow **~ernately** after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. • Environmental Considerations : 1.Do not flyin severe weath..- condltions .This includes high winds (speeds of22 mph or10 mls or more), snow, rain, and fog. 2. Only flyin open areas. TaU buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, **high-~age** power lines. trees, and bodies of wat..-. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding areas **~h** high levels of elec1romagnetism, including mobile phone base stations, radio transmission towers ,orWI-R hotspots. 5. Aircraft and battery performance are subject to environmental factors such as air **dens~** and temperature. Be very careful when flying 1g,600 feet (6 km) or more above sea level. as battery and aircraft performance may not beat peak efficiency. 6.The Phantom 3 Professional cannot operate inP Mode or use GPS at polar latitudes.
