Dear Sir or Madam, 

In accordance with the FAA's Guidelines for Submitting a Petition for Exemption under section 333 of 

the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Remote Control Video Productions, LLC, referred to 

hereafter as the petitioner, request exemption from the following sections of Title 14, Code of Federal 

Regulations§§ 61.113(a); 61.113(b); 91.119(c); 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.405(a); 91.407(a) (1); 91.409 (a) 

(1); 91.409(a) (2); 91.417(a) & (b); in order to operate small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) 

commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the purposes of 

aerial photography, cinematography, videography, and other flight operations that could be performed 

safely and more cost effectively with the use of small UAS at low altitude within the U.S. national 

airspace system as compared to a manned aircraft. Operations will be performed only at the request of 

and with the authorization and permission of clients or their authorized agents in order to facilitate 

commerce and raise awareness of the beneficial uses of small unmanned air systems. So long as such 

operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by 
the FAA as required by Section 333. The conditions identified and proposed by the petitioner are drawn 

from references listed above. 

The FARs 

The petitioner seeks exemption from the above mentioned FARs for the following reasons; 

61.113{a) & {b) 

The petitioner requests relief in order to facilitate the utilization of an experienced UAS operator with 

the addition of a trained observer. All pre-flight inspection, maintenance and flight logs will be saved 

and made available to the FAA and Secretary ofTransportation {SoT) for review; with the purpose of 

safely integrating civil UAS operation in the National Airspace System. 

91.119{c) 

As discussed in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213, operations conducted closer than 500 

feet to the ground may require that the UA be operated closer than 500 feet to essential persons, or 

objects that would not be possible without additional relief. The petitioner requests modification, 

waiver or exemption and clarification concerning the terms "congested areas" and "densely populated". 

The petitioner requests waiver for this condition to allow reasonable and responsible operations in 

areas of subdivisions and neighborhoods if required. The petitioner will operate the UAS between 

ground level and 400 feet. The UAS will be operated over designated properties with the owner's 

consent and while maintaining a safe distance from persons. The petitioner will compile flight data from 

the logs. This data may assist the FAA in development of regulations for commercial operations in lowrisk, controlled environments. 

91.121 

As discussed in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213, 91.121 is not applicable since the UAS 

does not have an altimeter and instead utilizes electronic GPS with a sensor for altitude information. 

91.151{a) 

As discussed in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 prior relief has been granted for 

manned aircraft tc 0perate at less than the prescribed minimums, In addition, similar U.A.S specific relief 

has been granted for daytime, VFR conditions. The UAS provides battery power remaining in percent to 

the PIC. The UA batteries provide approximately 25 minutes of powered flight. Information provided in 

the operating documents discusses procedures regarding remaining battery power management. Those 

documents contain a condition in which the PIC will initiate a landing procedure when battery remaining 

reaches a specified level. Given the limitations on proposed operations and the location of those 

proposed operations, The FAA found that a reduced minimum power reserve for flight in daytime VFR 

conditions was reasonable. 

91.405{a); 91.407{a) {1); 91.409 (a) {1) & (2); 91.417{a) & (b) 

As discussed in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213, the petitioner proposes to inspect and 

ensure that the UAS is in a condition for safe flight in accordance with the operating documents. The 

FAA found that adherence to the petitioner's operating documents and the conditions and limitations 
specified, describing the requirements for maintenance, inspection, and record keeping, were sufficient 

to ensure that safety would not be adversely affected. 

The UAS 

The DJI Inspire 1 and DJI 51000+ are highly successful professional grade small rotorcraft. The DJIInspire 

1 is a quadcopter design and the DJI1000+ is an octocopter design. Both models have a weight of less 

than 55 pounds including payload and are designed primarily to carry aloft a high definition camera. 

Both models have an advertised maximum speed of less than 87 knots (100 mph). Both models are 

equipped with the DJI A2 flight controller and utilize an internal inertial measuring unit (IMU} with 

integrated barometric sensor augmented with global positioning system (GPS} to maintain its geospatial 

orientation and position. Each UAS is controlled through an FCC certified radio control (RC} unit. Real 

time video and telemetry information is transmitted back to a ground control station allowing the 

operator and/or PIC to monitor battery level, GPS signal strength, altitude (AGL}, distance from PIC, 

camera imagery, and control camera angle. Both models have failsafe modes of operation for either loss 

of RC or GPS signal. Altitude can be limited by the onboard flight controller and maximum altitude can 

be preprogrammed by the PIC. Battery life limits flight times to approximately 25 minutes. The onboard 

flight controller will warn the pilot via telemetry and external lighting cues before reaching a low battery 

state. An automatic termination of flight and landing will be initiated when the battery reaches a 

predetermined low state. More information is available in attachment 1 and 2. 

Risk mitigation 

The petitioner has reviewed the Conditions and Limitations section of the FAA exemptions referenced 

above and believes that the procedures specified therein are reasonable and will be utilized in order to 

manage and mitigate risk and ensure public safety. 

A preflight checklist will be developed and employed to ensure that the UA airworthiness will be verified 

before launch. Airworthiness will be maintained by performance of routine inspections before each 

flight, maintaining flight and maintenance logs to record time on failure prone components. These 

documents will be made available to the FAA to assist in future implementation of safety standards and 

regulations. The petitioner will only operate the UAS over designated properties with the owner's 

consent. Flight plans will be predetermined to limit the UAS flight time and limit safety concerns. The 

petitioner will take into account distance from persons and potential flight obstacles prior to operating 

the UAS. UAS operation will always be within VLOS of the PIC and the observer. 

Public interest 

Use of the UAS in lieu of a manned aircraft would enhance safety and reduce the environmental impact 

as compared to similar operations conducted with manned aircraft of greater proportions, carrying a 

crew and flammable fuel. Additionally, use of the UAS in order to facilitate commerce could lead to 

economic growth. Operations for this petition will enable service for property owners or their designees 

seeking an enhanced perspective for characteristics, amenities, and benefits of their desired 

photographic subjects that cannot be displayed through ground level videography/photography. Aerial 

photography is a valuable marketing tool that can lead to increased commerce and enhance personal 

photography. Aerial surveying and inspections can increase work site efficiency, improve volumetric 

estimations and reduce risks. The petitioner will provide clients with photographic data for these 
purposes on a 'for hire' basis acting as an independent contractor. A visual observer will be utilized. 

Flight data including UA flight time, Control Unit operation time, incident, accident, and details 

concerning any deviations from normal operations will be available to FAA and SoT for use in collecting 

data regarding the use of UAS as part of this application. This data may be submitted to FAA via 

traditional means or other means as required. 

Conclusion 

The petitioner is requesting this exemption for the purposes of "aerial photography, cinematography, 

videography, inspections, and other flight operations". The reason for such a general and broad based 

request is that the petitioner wishes to utilize a business strategy to maximize economies of scope in 

order to capitalize on opportunities as they may arise in the future without the turnaround time 

associated with additional exemptions. The petitioner's business model is based on the idea of offering 

ad hoc small UAS services to individuals or companies who wish to employ these services as a safe, 

effective, and legal option to enhance their business or hobby. The petitioner has refrained from 

engaging in commercial use of the UAS. The primary purpose of seeking this exemption is to obtain the 

capability to offer those services while remaining in compliance. The petitioner's Director of 

Videography is a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) and has experience in the radio 

control model aircraft hobby.

• If there is an abnormal signal or no signal input into the "IN" port, the LED will slowly flash red. 

Check receiver and connections for problems. 

• If servo power consumption is too high, the LED will light up red. If this lasts rnore than 4 seconds, 

the landing gear will lower and the LED will flash green slowly. Re-calibration is needed before 

flying. 

• A2 flight control system users can use the A2 Assistant to set intelligent gear on the "Advanced" 

page. Refer to the "A2 user rnanual" for details.

Instructions 

1. Insert the propeller blades into the propeller holder. 2. Attach the propeller holder to the frame arm. 

A soft damper is part of the vibration absorber. Assemble soft dampers as shown below. Assembly is the 

same for CCW and CW propellers. 

& • Ensure all soft dampers and vibration absorbers are in good condition before every flight. If not, 

replace immediately. Otherwise, the flight performance of your aircraft will be adversely affected. 

• Before installing the soft dampers, put the copper gaskets onto th.e four mounting holes on the 

carbon plate. Then put the soft dampers into the mounting holes. 

• After tightening the screws, the vibration absorbers may be twisted. If this is the case, hold the 

motor with your thumbs under the base plate and fingers on the top carbon plate, and squeeze the 

plates together to make the vibration absorbers flat and parallel with the plates.

3. Keep the whole aircraft off of the ground during calibration, as landing gear will move. 

4. Press and hold the SET button using a pin while powering on, then release. An LED will flash yellow 

quickly. Press the SET button again. Auto calibration will begin and the LED will flash yellow slowly. DO 

NOT obstruct any moving parts during auto calibration. 

5. During calibration, the left landing gear will raise and lower, followed by the right landing gear. 

6. After calibration, both the left and right landing gears will be lowered and the LED will display a solid green 

light. This indicates that the landing gear is working properly. 

[t • If the LED is solid yellow after calibration, a problem has occurred. Carry out the instructions in 

"Remounting the Landing Gear Servo" then try again. 

• Avoid obstructions during calibration. If the landing gear was obstructed, recalibration will be 

required, per the above steps. 

• If the "R" and "L" servo cables are reversed, travel will not be measured correctly. Fix the 

connections and recalibrate the landing gear using the above steps. 

• Landing gear travel has been pre-calibrated. Mechanical adjustment of the gear travel is not 

recommended.

This chapter describes the features of 

Inspire I, instructs you to assemble the 

aircraft and explains the components on 

the aircraft and remote controllers. 
Product Profile 

The Inspire 1 is brand new quadcopter capable of capturing 4K video and transmitting an HD video 

signal (up to 2km) to multiple devices straight out of the box. Equipped with retractable landing gear, it 

can capture an unobstructed 360 degree view from its camera. The built-in camera has an integrated

Aircraft 

The Inspire 1 's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new 

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic 

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Flight 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: 

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. 

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode {Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

:\j: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information.

Smart RTH 

GPS Description 

The Horne Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( ~111i: ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setting, the Horne Point will be updated to your current position as you 

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Srnart RTH and regain the control.

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft 

identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more 

precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main 

components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar 

sensors and[2]one monocular camera. 

Using Vision Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is 

required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By 

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when 

no GPS is available.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system 

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, 

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up 

to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. 

& The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound 

absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: 

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

• Flying at high speeds( over Sm/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). 

• Flying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. 

• Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. 

• Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. 

• In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

'\); • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors. 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 1 OOiux). 

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is 

in operation. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar 

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

'\): How to discharge your Intelligent Flight Battery: 

To effectively calibrate the battery capacity, it is recommended to charge and discharge the 

battery thoroughly for every 10 charge-and-discharge cycle. User should install the battery onto 

the aircraft and then power on the aircraft to initiate the discharge process, discharge the battery 

until the aircraft is powered off automatically. User should then fully charge the battery to ensure 

the battery is working at its optimal. 

Slow: Place the Intelligent Flight Battery into the Inspire 1 's Battery Compartment and power it 

on. Leave it on until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer 

be turned on. Launch the DJI Pilot app to check battery level. 

Rapid: Fly the Inspire 1 outdoors until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can 

no longer be turned on.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. 

P·OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app, 

enter the "Camera" page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode" .

The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains 

constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the 

Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a 

second remote controller. 

The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-View flying experience. 

The Gimbal's motion is independent of the aircraft's orientation. One user 

alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is 

required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. 

Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation 

by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain 

unchanged during the re-alignment. 

&, • Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) 

Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from flat, open 

ground and protect the gimbal after powering up. 

• Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The 

gimbal will recover when it dries out.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly 

safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s, 

snow, rain and smog. 

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures rnay affect the accuracy of the on-board 

compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, higli voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. 

Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft 

performance may be reduced. 

6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

Flight Limits and FlighfRestricbori Area ·'•·'··•"-''•'•·''"·'· 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following 

section. 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as 

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For 

safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and 

legally. The flight limits function includes height lirnits, distance lirnits and No Fly Zones. 

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A 

rnode only height lirnits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the 

DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

• If the Inspire 1 flies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will fly back within 

range automatically. 

No-Fly Zones 

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are 

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned 

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites. 

The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below: 

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to R1 + 1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640 

feet (500 meters) at R1 + 1 mile. 

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear 

in the DJI Pilot app.
