To Whom ItMay Concern:

Flesher Schaff& Schroeder, Inc. herebyrequests an exemption ofcurrent rules preventingthe

use ofan unmanned aircraft system (UAS) for such purposes pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FAA-2014-0958-0001), to permit commercial operation ofa small UAS for aerial imagery and inspection.

As a civil litigation law firm, Flesher Schaff& Schroeder, Inc. provides its clients with immediate on-call and after-the-fact services to direct and/or assist in the investigation of incidents which may give rise to civil liability. In many ofthese circumstances, the area or scene being investigated is large or spread out, and often rural. Essentially all ofthese areas are on private property owned bythe client who retains us to conduct or assist in the investigation. Aerial viewing and photography ofthese scenes is incrediblyhelpful to analyze the layout and location ofthe appmienances involved, providing views which are simply not othenvise obtainable. Further, a 'birds-eye' view ensures we are identifying and correlating all information and evidence during ourinvestigations.

We will use a PanotBebop Drone, a very small and lightweight UAS. Itis approximately fomieen inches (14'') in diameter. The aircraft is operatedbythe Parrot Skycontroller, which enhances controllability and safety with its ultra-highprecisionjoysticks, GPS geolocation and auto-return functions, altitude indicator, max-altitudepreset, speed indicator and horizon line indicator.

Using this model aircraft for theinspection ofincident scenes, we will always fly it in visual line ofsight and below four hundred feet ( 400') ofelevation. Such flights will be conducted during daytime Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions, and operatewithin visual line ofsight (VLOS) of thepilots, and stay certain distances awayfrom airports orhelipmis as follows:
Page 1 of35 nautical miles (NM) from an airport having an operational control tower; 3 NM from an airpmi with apublished instmment tlight procedure, butnot an operational tower; 2 NM from an airport without apublished instrument flight procedure or an operational tower; or 2 NM fi-om a heliport with apublished instrument flight procedure.

Spectators will not be allowed and a client or co-investigatorwho wants to observe the inspection whilethe drone is in flight will be placed 20 feet behind the operatorfor safe observation. A second person on the tlight crew will maintain such order with the public for their safety. The launch operator will beresponsible for ensuringthe safe conduct ofthe launch and for ensuringpublic safety and the safety ofproperty at all times during the conduct ofsuch a permitted launch. The three (3) members ofFlesher Schaff& Schroeder, Inc. who will pilot the drone are Jacob D. Flesher (SBN 210565), Jason W. Schaff(SBN 244285) and JeremyJ. Schroeder (SBN 223118).

Becausethe model weighs less than onepound, it is unlikely to cause any damageto other objects ifit does come into contact with them. A high-resistance EPP outdoor hull protects other objects ti·om potential contact ofthe propellers. Should apropeller come into contact with an object, the motor automatically stops. Wehave $1,000,000 dollars ofCommercial General Liability insurance coverage.

Themodel aircraft is capable ofonly a short flight on its batterytime ofapproximately eleven (II) minutes. This model aircraft is not designed orequipped to carry apayload ofanykind; it's solepurpose is to deliver high qualityimages.

Specitlcations for the Parrot BeBop Drone are includedbelow.

Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to your timelyresponse.
