Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the “Reform Act”) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Specialized Project Services, Inc. ( SPSRV ), seeks to amend exemption No. 11 827

, Regulatory Docket No. FAA

– 2015

– 1102

, submitted by SPS RV for review April 1 2 , 2015 and subsequently granted by the FAA on June 1 5 , 2015.

The name and address of the applicant is:

The original exemption made a request to allow operations of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ for commercial operations in precision agriculture, market research, surveying, mapping and inspection. This letter requests the addition of the DJI Phantom 3 Professional (Phantom 3) multirotor aircraft for commercial
use in the aforeme ntioned service operations.

The DJI Phantom 3 is a multirotor aircraft weighing approximately 2.83 pounds, including its power supply and camera payload. It has a maximum operating speed of approximately 31 knots. Like the
Phantom 2 Vision + , enhanced operation and safety failsafe functions of the Phantom 3 will be augmented and enhanced utilizing the autopil ot and data processing solutions.SPSRV will adhere to the safety and maintenance guidelines set forth by the DJI, Inc., the manufacturer

of the Phantom 3, as outlined in the operations manual. The manual is made available by the
manufacturer at http ://www.dji.com http://www.dji.com/product/phantom

.

Pursuant to the summary exemption process by which exemption No. 11 827 was approved, SPSRV puts forth that similar circumstances exist for the operation of the Phantom 3. Approval for exemption No.

11 827 as part of the summary exemption process was granted in the context of the material resp ects presented in Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352),

11109 to Clayco, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642). In these circumstances, the FAA found that, “the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of signific antly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest.” 1 To that
extent, SPSRV pledges to operate the Phantom 3 under the same “Con ditions and Limitations” put forth by the FAA in the original exemption approval.

SPSRV is prepared to amend or append th is request in order to satisfy the requirements of safe operation as new standards and requirements continue to evolve. Please do not hesitate to contact us concerning any additional requirements, materials, or clarification.

With sincere regards,
