Public Benefit and Safety

Granting the present petition will further the public interest by allowing Michael Angelo Photographers to safely, efficiently, and 

economically perform aerial video and photography of, real estate locations, and landscapes.

It will decrease congestion of the National air space by using unmanned aircraft that do not require an airport to takeoff or land. 

therefore it will reduce the amount of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions. It would then result in fewer 

aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight 

operations, reduce pollution, and provide significant benefits to the economy. 

My Blade 350 QX3 AP Combo RTF with SAFE® Technology can be considered superior to full size manned aircraft for this 

company's purposed limited use, due to the smaller device size ,cheaper equipment and personnel cost, reduced noise that will greatly 

benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution that are generated during traditional full sized fixed wing

aerial flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, my UAs (Unmanned Aircraft System) will not produce air 

pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the traditional full sized MANNED fixed wing aircraft.

I am petitioning for an exemption to operate a UAs with a built-in stabilized HD camera and GPS safety features which restrict its 

ability to a specified height above ground. It also has a feature that limits the distance it can fly from the controller thus adding an

additional level to public safety.

my UAs also has a failsafe function that is triggered in the event communication is lost between the UAs and the main controller 

transmitter. At that time, the UAs will autonomously return to its point of takeoff and land safely. 

Additional information of support for Exemption request

Operating the battery powered UAs is one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to 

manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraft. By operating a UAs, 

companies such as Michael Angelo Photographers , can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability 

to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. 

I will only operate my UAs in mine or my observer's line-of-sight and will operate at locations that are `sufficient distance' from 

populated areas within the flight area. Such operations will ensure that the UAs will "not create a hazard to users of the national 

airspace, or the public." 

I will not fly the UAs within five (5) miles of an airport . Maximum flight time for each operation will be between 4-12 minutes. 

Flights will be terminated when battery levels reach 25%, allowing sufficient reserve flight time to safely land the UAs. 

The UAs will be programmed so it will not be operated at an altitude that exceeds 200 feet AGL, and not more than 200 feet above an 

elevated platform from which video and photography is planned. 

Minimum crew for each operation shall consist of: UAs operator, and a visual UAs observer, 

The UAs operated by Michael Angelo weighs less than 8 pounds, including all payload (i.e. camera, lens, and stabilized gimbal ). 

The UAs will operate at speeds of no more than 18 knots per hour.
