Re: Amendment to Docket No.FAA-2015-0883 in pursuant of Section 333 FAA Reform Act and 

part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations in Regulatory Docket No. FAA -2015-0883.

Dear Sir/Madams:

Drone Services Hawaii Received a letter on Friday July 9, 2015 stating it does not comply with the 

requirements of & 11.81. For you to consider the request any further, we are sending what is being 

requested.

1. The reason why granting the request would be in the Public interest; that is; how it would benefit the 

public as a whole.

2. Any additional information, views, or arguments to support your request.

See below for response.

Public interest granting the petition would be in the public interest because:

1. The Congress of the United States has determined that early accommodation of sUAS into the 

National Airspace System advances the public interest. The Committee Report leading the House to 

adopt H.R. 658 said: "The successful integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) into the 

National Airspace System (NAS) can support more than 23,000 high paying jobs in the United 

States. . . . The absence of a plan to integrate UASs into the NAS is a barrier to such job creation . . . 

."1 Granting the Petition represents a step toward such integration, in the absence of a comprehensive 

regulatory regime for sUAS, and thus would serve the Congressional goal and the public interest.

2. Granting the Petition will facilitate a new era in Emergency Response activities here in Hawaii, 

one in which the responders themselves have a tool to safely, quickly and remotely assess a situation 

without placing lives in harm’s way. In comparison, the EOD robots have saved countless lives since 

their inception, a feat that will become common place for aerial assessments. For the present day

improvement on the island of Lanai a sUAS is needed because this island has no Aerial assets 

stationed on island. Any aircraft support is 2hr or more depending on time of day. Hurricane season 

in Hawaii is upon us now sUAS will play a big role in recovery efforts when a hurricane hits Hawaii 

this year. This will be a huge tool for State and County Civil Defense in developing recovery plans 

for emergency service to execute. The State of Hawaii is 5,000 miles away from the west coast of the 

United States, Drone Services Hawaii LLC is request to be granted exemption because of these 

reasons.

3. Granting the Petition will enable Drone Services Hawaii LLC the Petitioner to demonstrate the 

commercial viability across the State of Hawaii creating new safety techniques and tactics with new 

aeronautical technology, thereby improving the efficiency of Emergency Responders around the 
world and making for a safer society. The rules from which Petitioner seeks exemption artificially 

and irrationally limit the effective use of new technologies to expand Emergency Response safety 

and improve the efficiency of markets, thereby subverting the public interest.

Exemptions Granted based upon similar request demonstrated by Drone Services Hawaii LLC.

DSH has an exemption written following FAA’s request and represent the state of Hawaii’s 

communities in mind with safety as its number 1 goal. In Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to 

Astraeus Aerial No. 11109 to Clayco Inc. No. 11112 to VDOS Global LLC No. 11213. The 

following exemption dockets where also granted. Docket No.11269, 11888, 11895, 11311, 11918,

11905, 11925 and 11962.

Sincerely,
