Re:	Exemption	Request	Under	Section	333	of	the	FAA	Reform	Act	and	

Part	11	of	the	Federal	Aviation	Regulations

Dear	Sir	or	Madam:

Pursuant	to	Section 333	of	the	FAA	Modernization	and	Reform	Act	of	

2012	(the	“Reform	Act”)	and	14	C.F.R.	Part	11,	the	Louisiana	Department	

of	Economic	Development (“LED”),	seeks	an	exemption	from	the	Federal	

Aviation	Regulations	(“FARs”)	listed	below	and	discussed	in	Appendix	A

for	the	DJI	Inspire	1	Unmanned	Aircraft	System	(“UAS”) operated	by	

LED’s	FastStart program		(“FastStart”).	Details	of	FastStart	and	the	DJI	

Inspire	1	UAS	are	described	in	Appendix	B.	At	the end	of	this	document

is	a	summary	of	this	request. Following	that	is	Exhibit	“A”,	the	operation	

manual	for	the	DJI	Inspire	1.

The	requested	exemption	would	permit	LED’s public operation	of	

FastStart’s	DJI	Inspire	1	(see	details	in	Appendix	B),	which	weighs	15	lbs.	

with	imaging	payload,	to	perform	aerial	surveys,	mapping,	and	

videography	of	private	businesses	that	consist	of	still	photographs	and	

video. The	DJI	Inspire	1	produces	high	quality	imagery	with	a	vehicle	

that	is	extremely	safe.

LED will	use	the	UAS	to	obtain	land	survey	images	for	LED’s certified	

sites	program	(inventory	of	available	sites	for	manufacturers	and	other	

businesses	LED seeks	to	locate	or	expand	in	Louisiana),	and	exterior	

images	of	the	facilities	of	companies	LED is	assisting	with	employee	

recruitment	and	training;	primarily	private	property	and	only	with	

permission	of	the	landowner. Use	of	the	Inspire	1	for	videography

applications reduces	the	need	to	operate	conventional	aircraft,	

providing	data	more	quickly,	accurately,	economically,	safely	and	with	

reduced	environmental	impact.
Operations	under	the	exemption	will	be	subject	to	strict	operating	

requirements	and	conditions	to ensure	at	least	an	equivalent	level	of	

safety	to	currently	authorized	operations	using	manned	aircraft and	

under	conditions	as	may	be	modified	by	the	FAA	as	required	by	Section	

333.

As	described	more	fully	below,	the	requested	exemption	would	

authorize	LED to	perform	aerial	inspections	and	videography using	the	

DJI	Inspire	1, which	at 15 lbs.	is	small	in	size	and	powered	electrically	by	

battery.	The	Inspire	1 will	be	operated	under controlled	conditions	at	

low	altitude	in	airspace	that is	limited	in	scope,	as	described	more	fully	

herein; it	will	have	automated	control	features,	as	described	below.	The	

DJI	Inspire	1, is	designed	to	be operated	by	one	person	but	flight	

operations	generally	involve	two	people:	an	operator	and	an	observer.

The	operator is	responsible	for	flying	the	UAS,	monitoring	its	status	and	

flight	dynamics	while maintaining	visual	line	of	sight,	and	keeping	the	

flight	within	the	specified	factory	limits	(in	terms	of wind,	flight	range,	

battery	life,	etc)	to	ensure	safe	operation	of	the	UAS itself.	The	observer	

is responsible	for	monitoring	the	airspace	for	other	aircraft	and	hazards	

and	instructing	the	operator before	and	during	flight	as	necessary	to	

ensure	safe	separation/avoiding	conflict	with	these	aircraft	and hazards.	

LED respectfully	submits	that	because	this	small UAS will	be	used	in	lieu	

of	comparatively	hazardous	operations	now	conducted	with	fixed	wing	

and	rotary	conventional	aircraft,	the	FAA	can	have	confidence	that	the	

operations	will	achieve	at	least	an	equivalent	level	or	greater	level	of	

safety.	Approval	of	this	exemption	would	thereby	enhance	safety	and	

fulfill	the	Secretary	of	Transportation’s	responsibilities	under	Section	

333(c)	of	the	Reform	Act	to	“establish	requirements	for	the	safe	

operation	of	such	aircraft	systems	in	the	national	airspace	system.”

Therefore	LED,	an	agency	of	the	State	of	Louisiana,	requests an	

exemption	to	operate	its	existing DJI Inspire	1 UAS in	the	national	

airspace	system	(“NAS”).
LED’s	primary	contact	regarding	this	application	is:

Petitioner,	the	Louisiana	Department	of	Economic	Development	(“LED”),	

pursuant	to	the	provisions	of	the	Federal	Aviation Regulations	(14	C.F.R.	

§	11.61)	and	the	FAA	Modernization	and	Reform	Act	of	2012,	Section	

333,	Special	Rules	for	Certain	Unmanned	Aircraft	Systems,	hereby	

petitions	the	Administrator	for	an	exemption	from	the	requirements	of:

14	C.F.R.	Part	21;

14	C.F.R.	45.23(b);

14	C.F.R.	91.7(a);

Appendix	A discusses	each	rule	listed	above	and	explains	why	

exemptions	pursuant	to	the	proposal	set	forth	in	this	letter	are	

appropriate,	provide	an	equivalent	level	of	safety,	and	are	in	the	public	

interest.

LED submits	that	grant	of	this	exemption	application	for	use	of	the	DJI	

Inspire	1 in	aerial	inspections	and	videography	operations	will	advance	

the	Congressional	mandate	in	Section	333 of	the	Reform	Act	to	

accelerate	the	introduction	of UASs	into	the	national	airspace	system	

(“NAS”)	if	it can	be	accomplished	safely.	This	law	directs	the	Secretary	of	

Transportation	to	consider	whether certain	UASs	may	operate	safely	in	

the	NAS	before	completion	of	the	rulemaking	required	under

Section	333 of	the	Reform	Act.	In	making	this	determination,	the	

Secretary	is	required	to	determine which	types	of	UASs	do	not	create	a	
hazard	to	users	of	the	NAS	or	the	public	or	pose	a	threat	to national	

security	in	light	of	the	following:

● The	UAS’s	size,	weight, speed,	and	operational	capability;

● Operation	of	the	UAS	in	close	proximity	to	airports	and	

populated	areas;	and

● Operation	of	the	UAS	within	visual	line	of	sight	of	the	operator.

Reform	Act	§	333(a)(1).	If	the	Secretary	determines	that	such	vehicles	

“may	operate	safely	in	the national	airspace	system,	the	Secretary	shall	

establish	requirements	for	the	safe	operation	of	such aircraft	in	the	

national	airspace	system.”	

The	Federal	Aviation	Act	expressly	grants	the	FAA	the	authority	to	issue	

exemptions.	This	statutory authority,	by	its	terms,	includes	exempting	

civil	aircraft,	as	the	term	is	defined	under	§40101	of	the	Act, from	the	

requirement	that	all	civil	aircraft	must	have	a	current	airworthiness	

certificate	and	those regulations	requiring	commercial pilots	to	operate	

aircraft	in	commercial	service:

The	Administrator	may	grant	an	exemption	from	a	requirement	of	a	

regulation	prescribed	under subsection	(a)	or	(b)	of	this	section	or	any	

of	sections	4470244716 of	this	title	if	the Administrator	finds	the	

exemption	is	in	the	public	interest.

49	U.S.C.	§44701(f).	See	also 49	USC	§44711(a);	49	USC	§44704;	14	CFR

Appendix	A

The	Specific	Sections	of	14	C.F.R.	from	Which	LED	Seeks	Exemption.

1.	14	C.F.R.	Part	21,	Subpart	H:	Airworthiness	Certificates	14	C.F.R.	

§91.203	(a)	(1)

Subpart	H,	entitled	Airworthiness	Certificates,	establishes	the	

procedural	requirements	for	the	issuance	of	airworthiness	certificates	

as	required	by	FAR	§91.203	(a)	(1).	Given	the	size	and	limited	operating	

area	associated	with	the	aircraft	to	be	utilized	by	LED,	an	exemption	

from	Part	21	Subpart	H	meets	the	requirements	of	an	equivalent	level	of	

safety	under	Part	11	and Section	333	of	the	Reform	Act.	The	Federal	

Aviation	Act	(49	U.S.C.§44701	(f))	and	Section	333 of	the	Reform	Act	

both	authorize	the	FAA	to	exempt	aircraft	from	the	requirement	for	an

airworthiness	certificate,	upon	consideration	of	the	size,	weight,	speed,	

operational	capability, and	proximity	to	airports	and	populated	areas	of	

the	particular	UAS.	In	all	cases,	an	analysis	of these	criteria	

demonstrates	that	the	UAS operated	without	an	airworthiness	

certificate,	in	the restricted	environment	and	under	the	conditions	

proposed	will	be	at	least	as	safe,	or	safer,	than	a conventional	aircraft	

(fixed	wing	or	rotorcraft)	operating	with an	airworthiness	certificate

without	the	restrictions	and	conditions	proposed.

The UAS (DJI	Inspire	1) to	be operated	hereunder	is less	than	55	lbs.	

fully	loaded,	carry	neither	a pilot	nor	passenger,	carry	no	explosive	

materials	or	flammable	liquid	fuels,	and	operate exclusively	within	a	

secured	area	as	set	out	by	LED. Unlike	other	civil aircraft,	operations	

under	this	exemption	will	be	tightly	controlled	and	monitored	by	both	

the operator,	pursuant	to	the	DJI	Inspire	1’s	manual	requirements,	and	

under	the	requirements	and	in	compliance with	local	public	safety	

requirements,	to	provide	security	for	the	area	of	operation	as	is	now	

done with	conventional	inspections.	Lastly,	application	of	these	same	

criteria	demonstrates	that	there	is	no credible threat	to	national	security	

posed	by	the	UAS’s,	due	to	their	size,	speed	of	operation, location	of	

operation,	lack	of	explosive	materials	or	flammable	liquid	fuels,	and	

inability	to	carry a	substantial	external	load.
2.	14	C.F.R.	§	45.23	(b).	Marking	of	the	Aircraft

The	regulation	requires:	When	marks	include	only	the	Roman	capital	

letter	"N"	and	the registration	number	is	displayed	on	limited,	restricted	

or	light-sport	category	aircraft	or experimental	or	provisionally	

certificated	aircraft,	the	operator	must	also	display	on	that	aircraft near	

each	entrance	to	the	cabin,	cockpit,	or	pilot	station,	in	letters	not	less	

than	2	inches	nor	more than	6	inches	high,	the	words	"limited,"	

"restricted,"	"light-sport,"	"experimental,"	or "provisional,"	as	applicable.

Even	though	the	UAS will	have	no	airworthiness	certificate,	an	

exemption	may	be needed	as	the	UAS will	have	no	entrance	to	the	cabin,	

cockpit	or	pilot	station	on	which	the words	"limited,"	"restricted,"	"lightsport,"	"experimental,"	or	"provisional," can	be	placed. Given	the	size	of	

the	UAS,	two-inch	lettering	will	be	impossible.	The	word	"experimental,"

may	be	placed	on	one	of	the	rotor	arms	of	each	UAS,	in	compliance	with	

§45.29	(f).	The equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	provided	by	having	the	

UASs marked	on	their	rotor	arm	as required	by	§45.29	(f)	where	the	

pilot,	observer and	others	working	with	the	UAS will	see	the

identification	of	the	UAS as	"experimental,". The	FAA	has	issued	the	

following	exemptions	to	this	regulation	to	Exemptions	Nos. 10700,	

8738,	10167	and	10167A.

3.	14	C.F.R.	§91.7(a):	Civil	aircraft	airworthiness.

The	regulation	requires	that	no	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	

unless	it	is	in	airworthy	condition.	As	there	will	be	no	airworthiness	

certificate	issued	for	the	aircraft,	should	this	exemption	be	granted,	no	

FAA	regulatory	standard	will	exist	for	determining	airworthiness.	Given	

the	size	of	the	aircraft	and	the	requirements	contained	in	the	manual	for	

maintenance	and	use	of	safety	check	lists	prior	to	each	flight,	as	set	forth	

in	Sections	J,	L	and	Q,	an	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	provided.

4.	14	C.F.R.	§	91.9(b)(2):	Civil	Aircraft	Flight	Manual	in	the	Aircraft.

The	regulation	provides:	

No	person	may	operate	a	U.S.	registered	civil	aircraft	...

(2)	For	which	an	Airplane	or	Rotorcraft	Flight	Manual	is	not	
required	by	§21.5	of	this	chapter,	unless	there	is	available	in	the	

aircraft	a	current	approved	airplane	or	Rotorcraft Flight	Manual,	

approved	manual	material,	markings,	and	placards,	or	any	

combination	thereof.

Given	the	size	and	configuration	of	the	DJI	Inspire	1,	it	has	no	ability	or	

place	to	carry	such	a	flight	manual	on	the	aircraft,	not	only	because	there	

is	no	pilot	on	board,	but	because	there	is	no	room	or	capacity	to	carry	

such	an	item	on	the	aircraft.

The	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	achieved	by	keeping	an	automated	

system	within	the	remote	control	transmitter	and	associated	Apple	Ipad	

at	the	ground	control	point	where	the	pilot	flying	the	UAS	will	have	

immediate	access	to	it.

The	FAA	has	issued	to	others	the	following	exemptions	to	this	

regulation:	Exemption	Nos.	8607,	8737,	8738,	9299,	9299A,	9565,	

9565B,	10167,	10167A,	10602,	32827,	and	10700.

5.	14	C.F.R.	§	91.103:	Preflight	action

This	regulation	requires	each	pilot	in	command	to	take certain	actions	

before	flight	to	insure	the	safety	of	flight.	As	FAA	approved	rotorcraft	

flight	manuals	will	not	be	provided	for	the	aircraft	an	exemption	will	be	

needed.	An	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	provided	as	set	forth	in	the	

Manual.	The	Pilot In	Charge	(PIC)	will	take	all	actions	including	

reviewing	weather,	flight	battery	requirements,	landing	and	takeoff	

distances	and	aircraft	performance	data	before	initiation	of	flight.

6.	14	C.F.R.	§91.109:	Flight	instruction:

Section	91.103	provides	that	no	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	

(except	a	manned	free	balloon)	that	is	being	used	for	flight	instruction	

unless	that	aircraft	has	fully	functioning	dual	controls.

UASs	and	remotely	piloted	aircraft,	by	their	design	do	not	have	fully	

functional	dual	controls.	Flight	control	is	accomplished	through	the	use	

of	a	control	box	that	communicates	with	the	aircraft	via	radio	

communications.	The	FAA	has	approved	exemptions	for	flight	training	

without	fully	functional	dual	controls	for	a	number	of	aircraft	and	for	
flight	instruction	in	experimental	aircraft.	See	Exemption	Nos. 5778K	&	

9862A.	The	equivalent	level	of	safety	provided	by	the	fact	that	neither	a	

pilot	nor	passengers	will	be	carried	in	the	aircraft	and	by	the	size	and	

speed	of	the	aircraft.

7.	14	C.F.R.	§91.119:	Minimum	safe	altitudes

Section	91.119	establishes	safe	altitudes	for	operation	of	civil	aircraft.	

Section	91.119(d)	allows	helicopters	to	be	operated	at	less	than	the	

minimums	prescribed,	provided	the	person	operating	the	helicopter

complies	with	any	route	or	altitudes	prescribed	for	helicopters	by	the	

FAA.	As	this	exemption	is	for	a	UAS that	is	a	multi-rotor	vehicle	and	the	

exemption	requests	authority	to	operate	at	altitudes	up	to	400	ft.	AGL,	

or	not	more	than	200	ft.	above	an	elevated	platform	from	which	

operations	are	planned,	an	exemption	may	be	needed	to	allow	such	

operations.	

As	set	forth	herein,	except	for	the	limited	conditions	stated	in	the	

manual,	the	UAS will	never	operate	at	higher	than	400	ft.	AGL.	It	will	

however	be	operated	in	a	restricted	area	with	security	perimeter,	where	

buildings	and	people	will	not	be	exposed	to	operations	without	their	

pre-obtained	consent.	The	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	achieved	

given	the size,	weight	and	speed	of	the	UAS as	well	as	the	location	where	

they	will	be	operated.	No	flight	will	be	taken	without	the	permission	of	

the	property	owner	or	local	officials.	Because	of	the	advance	notice	to	

the	property	owner	and	participants	in	the	filming	activity,	all	affected	

individuals	will	be	aware	of	the	planned	flight	operations	as	set	forth	in	

the	Manual.	Compared	to	flight	operations	with	aircraft	or	rotorcraft	

weighting	far	more	than	the	maximum	55	lbs.	proposed	herein	and	the	

lack	of	flammable	fuel,	any	risk	associated	with	these	operations	is	far	

less	than	those	presently	presented	with	conventional	aircraft	operating	

at	or	below	400	ft.	AGL	in	the	power	generation	industry.	In	addition,	

the	low-altitude	operations	of	the	UASs	will	ensure	separation	between

these	small	UAS operations	and	the	operations	of	conventional	aircraft	

that	must	comply	with Section	91.119.

8.	14	C.F.R.	§91.121	Altimeter	Settings

This	regulation	requires	each	person	operating	an	aircraft	to	maintain	

cruising	altitude	by reference	to	an	altimeter	that	is	set	“...to	the	
elevation	of	the	departure	airport	or	an	appropriate altimeter	setting	

available	before	departure.”	As	the	UAS may	not	have	a	barometric	

altimeter, but	instead	a	GPS	altitude	read	out,	an	exemption	may	be	

needed.	An	equivalent	level	of	safety will	be	achieved	by	the	operator,	

pursuant	to	the	Manual	and	Safety	Check	list,	confirming	the altitude	of	

the	launch	site	shown	on	the	GPS	altitude	indicator	before	flight.

9.	14	C.F.R.	§	91.151(a):	Fuel	Requirements	for	Flight	in	VFR	

Conditions

This	regulation prohibits	an	individual	from	beginning	“a	flight	in	an	

airplane	under	VFR	conditions	unless	(considering	wind	and	forecast	

weather	conditions)	there	is	enough	fuel	to	fly	to	the	first	point	of	

intended	landing	and,	assuming	normal	cruising	speed	– (1)	During	the	

day,	to	fly	after	that	for	at	least 30	minutes;	or	(2)	At	night,	to	fly	after	

that	for	at	least	45	minutes.”

The	DJI	Inspire	1	batteries	provide	approximately	35	minutes	of	

powered	flight.	Without	an	exemption	from	§	14	CFR	91.151,	the	UAS’s	

flights	would	be	limited	to	approximately	5	minutes	in	length.	Given	the	

limitations	on	its	proposed	operations	and	the	location	of	those	

proposed	operations,	a	longer	time	frame	for	flight	in	daylight	VFR	

conditions	is	reasonable.

LED believes	that	an	exemption	from	14	CFR	§	91.151(a)	is	safe	and	

within	the	scope	of	a	prior	exemption.	See	Exemption	10673	(allowing	

Lockheed	Martin	Corporation	to	operate	without	compliance	with	

91.151(a)).	Operating	the	UAS,	without	30	minutes	of	reserve	fuel	does	

not	engender	the	type	of	risks	that	Section	91.151(a)	was	meant	to	

prevent	given	the	size	and	speed	at	which	the UAS	operates.	The	fact	

that	it	carries	no	pilot,	passenger,	or	cargo	also	enhances	its	safety.

Additionally,	limiting	DJI	Inspire	1	flights	to	5	minutes	would	greatly	

reduce	their	utility.	In	the	unlikely	event	that	the	DJI	Inspire	1	should	

run	out	of	fuel,	it	would	simply	land.	Given	its	weight	and	construction	

material,	the	risks	are	less	than	contemplated	by	the	current	regulation.

LED believes	that	an	equivalent	level	of	safety	can	be	achieved	by	

maintaining	10	minutes	of	reserve	fuel,	which,	allowing	35	minutes	of	

flight	time,	would	be	more	than	adequate	to	return	the	UAS	to	its	
planned	landing	zone	from	anywhere	in	its	operating	area.	The	FAA	has	

granted	similar	exemptions	to	others,	including	Exemptions	2689F,	

5745,	10673	and	10808.

10.	14	C.F.R.	§91.203	(a)	and	(b):	Carrying	Civil	Aircraft	

Certification	and	Registration

The	regulation	provides	in	pertinent	part:

(a)	Except	as	provided	in	§	91.715,	no	person	may	operate	a	civil	

aircraft unless	it	has	within	it	the	following:

(1)	An	appropriate	and	current	airworthiness	certificate.	

(b)	No	person	may	operate	a	civil	aircraft	unless	the	

airworthiness	certificate required	by	paragraph (a)	of	this	

section	or	a	special	flight	authorization	issued under	§91.715	is	

displayed	at	the	cabin	or	cockpit	entrance	so	that	it	is	legible	to

passengers	or	crew.

The	FastStart UAS (DJI	Inspire	1) fully	loaded	weighs no	more	than	55	

lbs. and	is operated	without an	onboard	pilot.	As	such,	there	is	no	ability	

or	place	to	carry	certification	and	registration documents	or	to	display	

them	on	the	UAS. An	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	achieved	by	

keeping	these	documents	at	the	ground control	point	where	the	pilot	

flying	the	UAS will	have	immediate	access	to	them,	to	the	extent they	are	

applicable	to	the	UAS.	The	FAA	has	issued	numerous	exemptions	to	this	

regulation.	A	representative	sample	of	other	exceptions	includes	

Exemption	Nos.	9565,	9665,	9789,	9789A, 9797,	9797A,	9816A,	and	

10700.

11.	14	C.F.R.	§91.405	(a);	407	(a)	(1);	409	(a)	(2);	417(a)	&	(b):	

Maintenance	Inspections

These	regulations	require	that	an	aircraft	operator	or	owner	“shall	have	

that	aircraft	inspected	as	prescribed	in	subpart	E	of	this	part	and	shall	

between	required	inspections,	except	as	provided	in	paragraph	(c)	of	

this	section,	have	discrepancies	repaired	as	prescribed	in	part	43	of	this	

chapter...,”	and	others	shall	inspect	or	maintain	the	aircraft	in	

compliance	with	Part	43.	Given	that	these	sections	and	Part	43	apply	

only	to	aircraft	with	an	airworthiness	certificate,	these	sections	will	not	

apply	to	LED.	
Maintenance	will	be	accomplished	by	LED	pursuant	to	the	flight	manual	

and	operating	handbook	as	referenced	in	the	Manual.	An	equivalent	

level	of	safety	will	be	achieved	because	this	small	UAS is	very	limited	in	

size	and	will	carry	a	small	payload	and	operate	only	in	restricted	areas	

for	limited	periods	of	time.	If mechanical	issues	arise	the	UAS can	land	

immediately	and	will	be	operating from	no	higher	than	400	feet	AGL.	As	

provided	in	the	Manual,	LED will	ensure	that	every	UAS is	in	working	

order	prior	to	initiating	flight,	perform	required	maintenance,	and	keep	

a	log	of	any	maintenance	performed.	Moreover,	the	operator	is	the	

person	most	familiar	with	the	aircraft	and	best	suited	to	maintain	the	

aircraft	in	an	airworthy	condition	to	provide	the	equivalent	level	of	

safety.

The	DJI	Inspire	1 is	nearly	maintenance	free,	it	performs	automatic	

preflight checks	and	the	failure	of	any	check	will	prevent	takeoff. Checks	

which	cannot	be	done	by	the	system, will	be	performed	by	a qualified	

person	prior	to	each	flight	and	at	predefined	intervals	as	part	of	the	

Maintenance	Schedule	in the	User	Manual. Preflight checklist	includes:

1.Visual	inspection	of	the	airframe

2.Visual	inspections	of	rotor	integrity

3.Check	charge	of	all	batteries	(aerial	vehicle,	command	station,	

radio	repeater	station)

An	equivalent	level	of	safety	will	be	achieved	because	the	UAS	is	small	in	

size,	will	carry	no	external	payload,	will	operate	only	in	restricted	

predetermined	areas	and	is	not	a	complex	mechanical	devise.	As	

provided	in	the	attached	User	Guide	(System	Maintenance	section),	the	

operator	of	the	DJI	Inspire	1	will	ensure	that	the	UAS	is	in	working	order	

prior	to	initiating	flight,	perform	required	maintenance,	and	keep	a	log	

of	any	maintenance	that	is	performed.	Moreover,	the	operator	is	the	

person	most	familiar	with	the	aircraft	and	is	best	suited	to	maintain	the	

aircraft	in	an	airworthy	condition	and	to	ensure	an	equivalent	level	of	

safety.

The	Extent	of	Relief	LED Seeks	and	the	Reason	LED Seeks	Relief	

From	14 C.F.R.	§	21.185.

LED	seeks	relief	from	the	airworthiness	certificate	requirements	of	the	

Federal Aviation	Regulations (”FAR”) and	proposes	to	commercially	

operate	the	DJI	Inspire	1 UAS,	without	an	airworthiness	certificate,	for	
the	special	purpose	of	conducting	aerial	videography	services	for	its	

clients,	pursuant	to	specific operating	limitations	and	a	Safety	

Management System	(“SMS”).	LED seeks	relief	from	the	airworthiness	

certificate	requirements	of	14 C.F.R.	§	21.185	to	the	extent	that	the	DJI	

Inspire	1	UAS,	which	have	not	yet been	type	certificated	by	the	FAA,	may	

be	operated	as	if	they	were	a	restricted	category	aircraft for	a	single,	

defined,	special	purpose	operation	(i.e.,	aerial	videography).

Pursuant	to	the	FAA	Modernization	and	Reform	Act	of	2012,	Section	333	

(“Section	“333”),	LED seeks	relief	from	the	airworthiness	certificate	

requirements	of	the	FAR	because	operation	of	the	DJI	Inspire	1	UAS will	

not	create	a	hazard	to	users	of	the	NAS,	or	the	public,	or	otherwise	pose	

a	threat	to	national	security.	Section	333	sets	forth	the	requirements	for	

considering	whether	a	UAS will	create	a	hazard	to	users	of	the	NAS	or	

the	public	or	pose	a	threat	to	national	security.	Further,	Section	333	

provides	the	authority	for	such	a	UAS to	operate	without	airworthiness	

certification. Specifically,	Section	333	states	the	following,	in	part:

(b)	Assessment	of	Unmanned	Aircraft	Systems.--In	making	the	

determination	under	subsection	(a),	the	Secretary	shall	

determine,	at	a	minimum—

(1)	which	types	of	unmanned	aircraft	systems,	if	any,	as	a	

result	of	their	size,	weight, speed,	operational	capability,	

proximity	to	airports	and	populated	areas,	and	operation

within	visual	line	of	sight	do	not	create	a	hazard	to	users	

of	the	national	airspace	system or	the	public	or	pose	a	

threat	to	national	security;	and

(2)	whether	a	certificate	of	waiver,	certificate	of	

authorization,	or	airworthiness certification	under	section	

44704	of	title	49,	United	States	Code,	is	required	for	the

operation	of	unmanned	aircraft	systems	identified	under	

paragraph	(1).

As	described herein, numerous	factors,	including	the	proven	safe	

operational	history	of	the	DJI	Inspire	1	UAS in	the	NAS,	as	well	as	the	

specific	parameters	of	LED’s	intended	operation	pursuant	to	this	

exemption,	demonstrate	that	the	DJI	Inspire	1	UAS have	in	the	past,	and	

will	continue	in	the	future,	to	operate safely	in	the	NAS	without	creating	

a	hazard	to	other	aircraft	or	people	on	the	ground.
Accordingly,	the	FAA	may	approve	operation	of	the	DJI	Inspire	1	UAS,	

without	an	airworthiness	certificate,	by	setting	forth	specific	operating

limitations	to	ensure	a	level	of	safety	equivalent	to	what	would	be	

provided	by airworthiness	certification.

Pursuant	to	14	C.F.R.	Part	11,	the	following	summary	is	provided	

for	publication	in	the Federal	Register,	should	it	be	determined	

that	publication	is	needed:

The	Louisiana	Department	of	Economic	Development (“LED”)	seeks	an	

exemption	from	the	following	rules:

14	C.F.R.	Part	21;		14	C.F.R.	45.23(b);		14	C.F.R.	91.7(a);		14	C.F.R.	

91.9(b)(2);		14	C.F.R.	91.103;		14	C.F.R.	91.109;		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);		14	C.F.R.	

91.417(a);	as	well	as	the	restricted	category airworthiness	certification	

standards	specified	in	14	C.F.R.	§	21.185	to	operate commercially	

unmanned	vehicle	(55lbs	or	less)	for	aerial	videography	and	

inspections.

Approval	of	exemptions	allowing	commercial	operations	of	UASs	in	the	

videography survey	and inspection	industry	will	enhance	safety	by	

reducing	risk.	Conventional	videography inspections,	using	persons	

hanging	out	of	helicopters	can	needlessly	clutter	up	the	NAS.	 In	

contrast,	a	LED UAS weighing	fewer	than	55	lbs. and	powered	by	

batteries	eliminates	virtually	all	human	risk	to	serious	falls	given	that	

the	PIC	is on	the	ground. The	 UAS is	carried	to	the	inspection	site	and	

not	flown.	The	UAS will	carry no	passengers	or	crew	and,	therefore,	will	

not	expose	them	to	the	risks	associated	with	manned aircraft	flights.	The	

operation	of	a	small	UAS,	weighing	less	than	55	lbs.,	conducted	in	the	

strict conditions	outlined	above,	will	provide	an	improved	level	of	safety	

supporting	the	grant	of	the exemptions	requested herein,	including	

exempting FastStart from	the	requirements	of	Part	21 and	allowing	

commercial	operations.	These	lightweight	aircraft	operate	at	slow	

speeds,	close	to the	ground,	and	in	a	sterile	environment	and,	as	a	result,	

are	far	safer	than	conventional operations	conducted	by	humans	

dangling	from	helicopters.

FIGURE	1:	LED’s	DJI	Inspire	1	including	video/camera	system

Proven	Operational	History	of:	DJI	Inspire	1	UAS in	the	NAS

The	DJI	Inspire	1	UAV	is	currently	operating	safely	within	the	NAS.
Reasons	Why	Granting	LED’s	Request	Would	Be	In	The	Public	

Interest

Granting	the	present	Petition	will	further	the	public	interest	by	allowing	

LED to	safely, efficiently,	and	economically	obtain	land	survey	images	for	

LED's	certified	sites	program	(inventory	of	available	sites	for	

manufacturers	and	other	businesses	LED seeks	to	locate	or	expand	in	

Louisiana),	and	exterior	images	of	the	facilities	of	companies	LED,	

through	its	FastStart	program, is	assisting	with	employee	recruitment	

and	training;	primarily	private	property	and	only	with	permission	of	the	

landowner. Additionally,	use	of	the UAS will	increase safety	by

eliminating	the	need	for	a	videographer	to	utilize	a	full	sized	aircraft	for	

these	operations. Notably,	the	benefits	of	the	proposed operation	of	the	

FastStart UAS will	be	realized	without	implicating	any	privacy	issues.

Privacy:

All	flights	will	occur over	private	or	controlled	access	property	with	the	

property	owner’s prior	consent	and	knowledge.	Video	operations will	be	

of	undeveloped	parcels	of	land	in	remote	or	uninhabited	areas,	or	

buildings	and	facilities	on	privately	held	land.

Flight	Operations:

Flight	Operations	pursuant	to	the	exemption	sought	would	be	limited	to	

areas	that	are	not in	the	proximity	of	airports	or	over	populated	areas.	

LED proposes	to	only	conduct	aerial videography	and	inspection	flight	

operations	over	private	land,	in	rural	areas	of	the	United	States	that	are	

not	near populated	areas,	airports,	helipads,	or	state	roads. Specifically,	

LED’s	proposed	areas	of	aerial	inspections	include	rural	areas	that	are:

1.	Not	populated	areas	as	depicted	on	VFR	Sectional	Aeronautical	

Charts;

2.	Not	within	five	(5)	miles	of	any	airport	or	helipad;

3.	Not	within	one	hundred	(100)	meters	of	state	roads	having	

more	than	two	lanes;	and

4.	Not	within	fifty	(50)	meters	of	state	roads	having	two	lanes	or	

less.

LED has	been	operating	its	UAS by	regulations	such	as	the	ICAO	
(International	Civil Aviation	Organization)	and	the	FAA’s	own	national	

airspace	regulations.	In	order	to	increase flight	safety	and	prevent	

accidental	flights	in	restricted	areas,	LED’S UAS will	be operated	utilizing	

Category	“A”	No	Fly	Zone	restrictions. A	buffer	or	exclusion	zone	for	

flight	operations	will	also	be	implemented	around	state roads.	Since	the	

roads	are	represented	geometrically	as	lines,	the	buffers	result	as	a	one

hundred (100m)	corridor	around	state	roads	with	more	than	two	lanes,	

and	fifty	(50)	meters	around	state roads	with	two	lanes	or	less.	

In	summary,	LED seeks	to	operate	its	UAS’s	only	over	rural areas,	while	

maintaining	safe	distances	from	any	populated	areas,	airports,	helipads,	

or roadways.

Operation	Of	LED’s UAS Will	Be	Conducted	Pursuant	To	“VSI-005	

UAS	Operations Manual	(For	UAS’s	under	55	lbs).”

LED’S	DJI	Inspire	1	operation	manual will	control	operation	of	the	UAS

and	will	significantly contribute	to	maintaining	the	level	of	safety	

contemplated	by	the	airworthiness	certificate requirements	from	which	

LED now	seeks	relief.	Pursuant	to	the	Operations	Manual	and	14 C.F.R.	§	

43.13,	entitled	Performance	Rules	(general),	each	person	performing	

maintenance, alteration,	or	preventive	maintenance	on	any	of LED’s	

UAS,	motors,	propellers,	hardware, guidance	systems	or	appliances	shall	

use	the	methods,	techniques,	and	practices	prescribed	in	the current

manufacturer's	maintenance	manual	or	Instructions	for	Continued	

Airworthiness prepared	by	its	manufacturer,	or	other	methods,	

techniques,	and	practices	acceptable	to	the Administrator.	Each	person	

shall	use	the	tools,	equipment,	and	test	apparatus	necessary	to	assure

completion	of	the	work	in	accordance	with	accepted	industry	practices.

A	copy	of	the	Operations	Manual,	which	is	proprietary	information	to	

LED,	is	attached hereto	as	Exhibit	A,	and	is	to	be	held	in	a	separate	file	

pursuant	to	14	C.F.R.	§	11.35(b).3

CONCLUSION:

Satisfaction	of	the	criteria	provided	in	Section	333	of	the	Reform	Act	of	

2012--size, weight,	speed,	operating	capabilities,	proximity	to	airports	

and	populated	areas	and	operation within	visual	line	of	sight	and	

national security	– provide	more	than	adequate	justification	for	the
grant	of	the	requested	exemptions	allowing	commercial	operation	of	

applicant’s	UAS	in	the aerial	videography/	survey	/	inspection	industry

pursuant	to	the	Manual	appended	hereto.

In	summary,	applicant	seeks	an	exemption	from	the	FARs	set	forth	

above	and	in	Appendix	A	to	allow	aerial	videography/	survey	/	

inspection operations	of	a	small	unmanned	vehicle	for	these	kinds	of	

operations.

Approval	of	the	exemption	allowing	commercial	operations	of	the	DJI	

Inspire	1	for	videography/	survey	/	inspection operations	will	enhance	

safety	by	reducing	risk.	Conventional	aerial	survey,	videography	and	

inspection	operations	using	manned	aircraft	involve	very	heavy	aerial	

vehicles	carrying	significant	quantities	of	combustible	fuels,	and	a	multiperson	crew	in	piloting	and	observation	roles.	These operations	require	

transit	to	and	from	the	location	of	the	activity,	and	often	take	place	in	

congested	environments	including	proximity	to	physical	obstacles	

and/or	presence	of	the	general	public.	By	contrast,	the	DJI	Inspire	1	

weighs15	lbs	including	payloads	and	uses	a	battery	for	power,	is	carried	

to/from	the	area	of	activity,	removes	the	need	for	airborne	

pilots/observers,	and	poses	less	risk	to	people	and	infrastructure	on	the	

ground.

Additionally,	no	national	security	issue	is	raised	by	the	grant	of	the	

requested	exemptions.	Given	the	size,	load	carrying	capacity,	speed	at	

which	it	operates,	and	the	fact	that	it	carries	no	explosives	or	other	

dangerous	materials,	the	DJI	Inspire	1	poses	no	threat	to	national	

security.	The	operation	of	a	DJI	Inspire	1	for	market	research,	surveying,	

mapping	and	inspection	operations	in	accordance	with	the	strict	

conditions	outlined	above,	will	provide an	equivalent	level	of	safety	

supporting	the	grant	of	the	exemptions	requested	herein,	including	

exempting	LED	from	the	requirements	of	Part	21.
The	DJI	Inspire	1’s	satisfaction	of	the	criteria	set	forth	in	Section	333	of	

the	Reform	Act—size,	weight,	speed,	operating	capabilities,	lack	of	

proximity	to	airports	and	populated	areas,	operation	within	visual	line	

of	sight,	and	national	security,	provide	more	than	adequate	justification	

for	the	grant	of	the	requested	exemptions	allowing	LED	public operation	

of	the	DJI	Inspire	1	in	aerial	videography	operations.

Sincerely,

crucial flight data for each flights.

2.2 Flight Mode

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode is listed in the table below:

Flight

Mode

GPSAvailability Remark

GPS GPS enabled GPS mode works best when GPS modules is enabled and more than 6 GPS

satellites are available. Under GPS mode, there are three different

statuses:

P-GPS:Both GPS and Optical Flow signal are optimal, using both GPS and

Optical flow to implement hovering.

P-OPTI: Optical Flow sensorsignal is optimal but GPS signal is not optimal,

using only Opticalflow to implement hovering.

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Optical Flow Sensor signal is optimal, using only

barometer to stabilize aircraft’s attitude.

The aircraft automatically switch between the status depending on signal

of the GPS and Optical Flow sensor.

ATTI GPS disabled ATTI mode works when GPS is disabled and uses only barometer to

stabilize the aircraft. Noted that Home Point is not recorded in this mode

and aircraft automatically return home when signal is lost.

F GPS enabled F mode works when more than GPS satellite are available. Intelligent

Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. User may use IOC to

lock the orientation of the aircraft. For more information about the IOC,

refer to “IOC”.

2.3 FlightLimits

Flight limits such as height and distance is imposed on the Ncore flight controllers. The details of these flight limites

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) 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, distance limits and No Fly Zones.
©2014 DJI All Rights Reserved 19 |

When operating in GPS mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In ATTI mode

only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m.

MaxHeight & RadiusLimits

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance, 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 on these limits.
