Dear Exemption Manager, Section 333 Exemption Petition

Wild Bill Productions (WBP} is submitting a Petition for Exemption for Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems operations. I am an experienced Hobby PIC (Pilot in Command) of UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) with over 500 flight hours. I take the skills and education for safe operation very seriously. My companies name is no indication of my attitudetowards UAS operation, it is directly related to my video editing style. This 

### WBP request is for a waiver of the sections identified below in an effort to operate a UAS for commercial applications: I.E. crop field management, Real Estate Marketing Purposes, and live sporting events. Although UAS video and photography makes up a small part of myvideo productions, it is imperative that all steps be taken to comply with current regulations and safety protocols. It is my goal, as a UAS operator, to make every responsible effortto avoid invading a person's reasonable expectation of privacy when operating the UAS while performing safe flight operations. When operating the UAS, I will abide by all FAA Regulations for flight and receive the proper authorization for flight. This includes my VO (Visual Observer) as well. All flights are VLS (Visual Line of Sight) only and the duration of flights are limited to 15 minutes monitored by automated digital alarm and 

### manual timer. AU flight

### feet. WBP is a small local business supporting and promoting the safe and responsible implementation of UAS into our national airspace (NAS). WBP will offer its local market an accredited UAS option to aid in aerial imagery gathering. WBP uses a small unmanned unit (OJ I Phantom 2) that has the capacity to perform

Any flight operations in town environments would typically be for dose air support for focused shots such as pre competition team warm-up at sporting events, crop produce observation, undeveloped property inspections, and/or golfcourse and real estate marketing.

My proposed public safety UAS operations are typically conducted at low altitudes less than 300 Feet AGL (within Class G airspace), not over crowds, and not near airports.
