Petition for Exemption

Chris Ballard Drone Aerial Technolog ies 773 W Montrose Ave Clermont, Florida 34711 June19,2015 Phone 352 - 410 - 8929 I, Chris Ballard , hereby submit this petition for exemption under Section 333; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112 - 95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333. I request this exemption in order to operate my UAV/UAS, DJI Phantom 2 Professional Quadcopter Aircraft, in order to provide services for profit to include aerial photography, aerial cinematography, aeria l filming and photography for real estate, construction firms, agricultural modeling, crop monitoring operations, aerial mapping, special events to include but not limited to weddings, private or public parties/events, business advertising, promotional eve nts, geological surveying, and environmental studies. The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community will benefit them by opening up opportunities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods of aerial photography/videography are simply not viable options for the average consumer as they are costly and involve greater risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carrying humans and flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions. Prior to each flight/operation of the UAV/UAS, I will conduct a Pre - Flight Safety Inspection. Any and all repairs will be performed only by the manufacturers authorized repair facilities/ providers. Flig hts will not take place over densely populated areas or private property without the owners permission. The UAV/UAS will only be operated withinvisual line of sight and will not be flown near airports or above 400 feet. The FAA can be

confident that opera tions of this UAV/UAS will achieve at least the equivalent or greater level of safety. The requests of this petition are similar to those of Mr. Jase W. Robak, Mr. Todd Thomas Drone Pics, and Mr. Mike Lloyd Lloyd & Associates, all of whom have received Se ction 333 exemptions for comparable aircraft for similar operations. The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exemption are as follows: 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5); 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) & (b); 14 C. F.R. 61.133 (a); 14 C.F.R. 61.23(a) & (c); 14 C.F.R 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14C.F.R. 91.109(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.119; 14 C.F.R. 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(2}; 1 4 C.F.R. 91.417(a) & (b).
