Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 Re: Amendment to Exemption No. 12084 , Docket No. FAA

–2015

–0385 Dear Sir or Madam: I, Mr. Robert Dreer hereby request an amendment to Exemption No. 12084 . By letter, dated July 20, 2015, exemption was issued under section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 , to operate UAS for various commercial purposes. Inthis petition for an amendment to exemption No. 12084 , I am seeking to add additional UAS ty pes for the same purposes. The proposed operation and all governing exemptions and limitations remain uncha nged. The FAA is familiar with and has already determined that twelve of the fourteen addi tional vehicles chosen meet the requirements of Section 333 of the Reform Act due to their weight, spe ed and operational capabilities. With ex ception of the Manta Ray and SmartOne C, e ach of the UAS ty pes listed below set no new precedents. Exemptions exist for each under section 333. I request the addition of the following UA S ty

pes to Exemption No. 12084 : **DJI:**  Phantom 3 - Previously granted to Explosives Risk Managers LLC , in exemption No. 11481.  Inspire 1 - Previously granted to CineDrones, LLC in exemption No. 11279 .  Spreading Wings S900 - Previously granted to Mr. Scott Hess Owner Fly ing Cross Aerial Productions in exemption No. 11305.  Spreading Wings S1000 - Previously granted to Mr. Scott Hess Owner Flying Cross Aerial Productions in exemption No. 11305. **3D Robotics :** 2

 Solo - Previously granted to Patricia A. Lines and Associates, Inc . in exemption No. 11935. **Sensefly :**   eBee - Previously granted to Sensefly, Ltd, in exemption No. 11263.  Exom - Previously

granted to Sensefly, Ltd, in exemption No. 11263. **Aeryon Labs :**   Sky Ranger - Previously granted to Aetos Group, Inc. , in exemption No. 11209. **Sky Flight Robotics :**   Manta Ray

– The Manta Ray i s a fixed -wing, flying wing design aerial mapping aircraft with similar characteristics as the Sensefly eBee. No operations manuals exist for the Manta Ray, as it is a home built design with off the shelf parts . The aircraft is controlled by a P ixhawk autopilot. Operational procedures will be under the same guidelines as the 3DR Aero - M. Both utilize the ARDUPLANE autopilot architecture, and are operationally similar in nature. **SmartPlanes :**   SmartOne C

– The SmartOne C is an aerial mapping platform that utilizes the paparazzi autopilot system. This aircraft will be operated in accordance with its user manuals. **FreeFly Systems :**   Alta - Previously

granted to CopelandRED LLC, in exemption No. 12103 .  Cinestar 8 - Previously granted to CopelandRED LLC, in exemption No. 12103. **PrecisionHawk :**   Hawkeye Lancaster Mk - III - Previously granted to Ag Tech Enterprises, Inc. in exemption No. 11573 . **Trimble :**   UX5 - Previously granted to CompassData, INC, in exemption No. 11432 . This amendment only seeks to add sUAS vehicles that the FAA has either already approved for performing aerial data collection, or vehicl es which exhibit the same characteristics and3 operating capabilities which would warrant approval unde r Section 333 of the Reform Act. I

respectfully submit that this amendment request is not precedent setting and therefore qualifies for expedited approval via the FAA's summary grant pr ocess. For these same reasons, I also believe that good cause exists for not publishing a summary o f thi s amendment request in the Federal Register. If you have any questions, or need any additional information to process the requested amendment to the Exemption, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned : Robert B. Dreer 821 Briarhill Lane Traverse City, MI 49686 810 - 543 - 1959 robert@cherrycapitaldrones.com
