Re: Application for Issuance of Section 333 Exemption Based upon Exemption 11110 Issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd.

Dear Sir or Madam, SITECH Mid-Atlantic, LLC ("SMA") herewith applies for the issuance of an exemption under Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 based upon Exemption 11110 issued to Trimble Navigation Ltd. ("Trimble") on December 10, 2014 in FAA Docket 2014-0367

. The requested exemption would allow SMA to operate the UX5 aircraft manufactured by Trimble or other Trimble aircraft approved for commercial operations under Exemption 11110, as amended , such as the UX5hp for which an amendment has been filed. SMA notes that the FAA recently authorized use ofthe Trimble UX5 by a third party in Exemption No. 11257, Regulatory Docket No. FAA2014-0889, on April 2, 2015, under updated conditions, and SMA hereby confirms that it will accept such conditions as well as those set forth in Exemption No. 11240, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0894. The name and contact information for the applicant are: Edward Upchurch SITECH Mid-Atlantic, LLC 8100 Arrowridge Blvd, Ste G Charlotte, North Carolina 28273 Phone: (704) 525-7099 Email: eupchurch@sitechma.com SMA intends to operate the UX5 orthe UX5hp from Trimble and will operate it in strict compliance with the conditions set forth in Exemption 11110, as such conditions may be amended or modified by the FAA from time to time, as was done in Exemption Nos

. 11240 and 11257, or such other conditions as the FAA shall specify, and the following manuals: 1) Trimble UX5 Data Sheet; and 2) Trimble UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution User Guide (User Guide)

8100 Arrowridge Boulevard, Suite G Charlotte, North Carolina 28273Copies ofthese manuals are attached

. These manuals are very similarto the manuals submitted by Trimble in support ofthe issuance of Exemption 11110, updated to reflect changes reported in Trimble's March 4, 2015 amendment to Exemption 11110. The manuals will be updated by Trimble , as needed to reflect any changes to Exemption 11110, based on amendments thereto

. SMA acknowledges that under current FAA guidance a separate Certificate ofWaiver orAuthorization ("COA") is required to fly at altitudes in excess of200 feet AGL, and it will apply for COAs where required. SMA hereby requests a blanket COA for flights up to 200 feet AGL in the form approved by the FAA

. SMA will also file NOTAMs for its flights, as required

. To the extent necessary, SMA refers the FAA to the original exemption and the amended exemption requests submitted byTrimble in Docket FAA-2014-0367 for demonstration ofthe public interest and an equivalent level of safety

. Because the UX5 and the UX5hp specified in this request are the same or, essentially the same, as the craft already approved in Exemption 1111 0, and SITECH Mid-Atlantic, LLC will operate the aircraft in strict compliance with the conditions in existing exemptions previously granted by the FAA, or as they may be amended, notice need not be provided in the Federal Register nor public comment solicited

.1 Ifyou have any questions, please contact the undersigned.
