# The sUAS,

given

its size

and configuration

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 maintained

by keeping

the flight manual

at the ground control

point where

the

pilot flying

the sUAS

will have immediate

access

to

it. The

FAA

has issued

the following exemptions

to this regulation:

Exemption

Nos. 8607,

8737,

8738,

9299, 9299A,9565,9565B,

10167, 10167A,

10602, 32827,and

10700. 

# 14 C.F.R.

§ 91.103(b):

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

PIC

will take

all actions including

reviewing

weather,

flight battery requirements,

landing

and takeoff distances

and aircraft performance

data before initiation

of flight. 

# 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. sUASs

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. Safe simulation

and practice

flight

will

be carried

out

in controlled environments.

All simulations

will

be carried

out

on

a computer

using

the drone controls.

Any practice

flying

will take place

in

a safe environment,

with

no risk

to human

life below. 

# 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 sUAS

that

is

a helicopter

and

the exemption

requests

authority to operate

at altitudes

up

to 400 AGL,

or not more

than

200 above

an elevated

platform

from which filming

is planned,

an exemption

may

be needed

to allow

such operations.

As

set forth herein

the sUAS

will never operate

at higher

than

400 AGL.

It will however

be operated

in

# Applicant

believes

that

an equivalent

level

of safety

can

be achieved

by limiting

flights

to

20 minutes

or 25%

of battery

power whichever

happens

first.

This restriction

would

be more

than adequate

to return

the sUAS

to

its planned

landing

zone

from anywhere

in

its limited operating area. Similar exemptions

have

been granted

to other operations,

including Exemptions

2689F, 5745,

10673,

and 10808. 14 C.F.R. §91.203

(a) and

(b): Carrying

Civil Aircraft Certification

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

is displayed

at the cabin

or cockpit entrance

so that

it

is legible to passengers

or crew. The sUAS

fully loaded

weighs

no more

than

55

lbs and

is operated

without

an

on board

pilot. As such,

there

is no ability

or place

to carry certification

and registration

documents

or

to display

them

on the sUAS. An equivalent

level

of safety

will

be achieved

by keeping

these documents

at the ground control

point where

the pilot flying

the sUAS

will have immediate

access

to them,

to the extent they

are applicable

to the sUAS.

The

FAA

has issued numerous exemptions

to this regulation. A representative

sample

of other exceptions

includes Exemption

Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A,

# (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

shall inspect

or maintain

the aircraft

in compliance

with

Part

43

. Given

that these section

and

Part

43 apply

only

to aircraft

with

an airworthiness

certificate, these sections

will

not apply

to the applicant. Maintenance

will

be accomplished

by the operator

pursuant

to the flight manual

and operating

handbook

as referenced

in the Manuai.(See

Sections

B,

D and

G)

An equivalent

level

of safety

will

be achieved

because these

small sUASs

are 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 sUAS

can

land



# 9

# immediately

and

will

be operating

from

no higher

than

400

feet AGL.

As provided

in the Manual,

the operator

will ensure

that

the sUAS

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. Pursuant

a small unmanned

vehicle

(551bs

or less)

in motion

picture

and television operations. Approval

of exemptions

allowing commercial

operations

of sUASs

in the

film industry

will enhance

safety

by reducing

risk. Conventional

film operations,

using

jet

or piston

power aircraft,

operate

at extremely

low altitudes

just

feet

from

the subject

being filmed

and

in extreme

proximity

to people

and structures;

and present

the risks associated

with vehicles

that weigh

in the neighborhood

of 4,0001bs.,

carrying

large amounts

of jet

A

or other

fuel.

Such aircraft

must

fly

to and from

the

film location.

In contrast,

a sUAS weighing

fewer

than

55

lbs

. and powered

by batteries eliminates

virtually

all

of that

risk given

the reduced

mass

and

lack

of combustible

fuel carried

on board.

The sUAS

is carried

to the

film

set

and

not flown.

The sUAS will carry

no passengers

or crew

and, therefore,

will

not expose

them

to the risks associated with manned

aircraft

flights. The operation

of small sUASs, weighting

less

than 551bs., conducted

in the strict conditions outlined

above,

will provide

an equivalent

level

of safety supporting

the grant

of the exemptions requested

herein, including exempting

the applicant

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

with turbine helicopters

operating

in close proximity

to the ground

and people. sUASs
