## Public Benefit and Safety

Granting the present p etition will further the public interest by allowing M ichael Angelo Photographers to safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of , real estate locations , and landscapes

. I t will decrease congestion of the National air space b y using unmanned aircraft that do not require an airport to takeoff or land. therefore it will reduc e the a mount of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions

. I t would then result in fewer aircr aft 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 be nefits to the economy.

My Blade 350 QX3 AP Combo RTF with SAFE® Technolog y 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 pollutio n that are generated during traditional full sized fixed wing
aerial flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, my UA s ( Unmanned Aircraft System ) will not produce air pollution, and is the most viable e nvironmentally 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 restric t its ability to a specified height above ground

. I t al so 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 UA s and t he main controller transmitter. At that time, the UA s will autonomously return to its point of takeoff and land safe l y.



### Additional information of support for Exemption request

Operating the battery powered U A s is one such technol ogy that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional ma nned airc raft. By operating a UA s, 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 UA s

.

The UA s will be programmed so it will not be operated at an altitude that exceeds 2 00 feet AGL, and not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which video and photo graphy is planned.

Minimum crew for ea ch operation shall consist of: UA s 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

.
