innovations.com/downloads/phantom_3/en/Phantom_3_Professional_Quick_Start_Guide_en_v1.2.zip Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and 14 CFR Part 11, I, Francisco Jeremias , FAA Certifie d Commercial Pilot (certificate #3730354 ) , Ground Instructor (certificate # 3730354), would like to apply for an exemption from the following Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to be allowed commercial operation of a lightweight Unmanned Aircraft Systems (U AS) for aerial imaging and video. I am abt one (1) years flying d rones, however I have nearly 3000 hours of PIC time in a fixed wing aircraft. I also have countless hours of RC airplane hours for as a hobby. Our office recently added the DJI Phantom 3 Pro fessional quad
- copter (weighing less than 3 pounds), equipped with the included camera. Manufacturer: DJI Model: Phantom 3 Professional Serial #: 0181 Registration number:N266PR (in process)My intent is to c apturing aerial photos/videos for commercial used ; following exemption and approval

by the FAA. My exemption request would permit operation of ultra
- light weight, unmanned (piloted be remote control) in predetermined areas away from general public, airports, heliports and vehicular traffic, under 20 0 ft (AGL) and after reviewing the flight path of aerial observation. I will operate in a safe environment that is strictly controlled away from power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas. I will personally conduct extensive prefli ght inspections and implement the same protocols I perform during my fixed wing flights. I will also check weather and will not fly in adverse weather. I shall abide all FAA requirements to ensure this exemption will provide the highest level of safety.
**14 CFR Part 21, subpart H: A irw**  **orthiness Certificates §14 CFR 91.203** Given the size, weight, speed and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized, I am requesting exemption from 14 CFR part 21, Subpart H (Airworthiness certificatio ns) and § 91.203 (a) and (b), subject to certain conditions and limitation, is warranted and meets the requirements for an equivalent level of safety under 14 CFR part 11 and Section 333 of PL 112
-95 (Section 333). **14 CFR 45.27 (a): Location of marks; non fixed**  **- wing aircraft. 14 CFR 45.29**  **(3)(c)(d)(e)(f)(h): Size of Marks** Furthermore I request an exemption from §45.23 Marking of the aircraft because my UAS will not have a cabin, cockpit, or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Addition ally two
– inch lettering is difficult to place on such a small aircraft with dimensions smaller than the minimal lettering requirement. I understand the need for markings and will mark my UAS in the larges possible lettering and if required by the FAA I wi ll place the necessary markings, name or numbers to my UAS. I also ask for an exemption from §91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2) an 91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance inspections may be required and should be granted since they only apply to aircraft with a n airworthiness certificate. But, as a safety precaution I will perform a preflight inspection of my UAS before each flight as outlined in its operating documents. **14 CFR 91.103 (b)(1), (b)(2): Preflight A ction**  If granted an exemption I agree to addition al safety procedures including, but not limited to:1. Keepin g my UAS within a radius of 400 feet from the controller to both aid in direct line of sigh visual

observation. 2. Operate the UAS for 10
- 15 minutes per flight: land my UAS according to the SOPs and minimum battery power. 3. Operate my UAS only within visual line of sight and during daylight hours. 4. Use the UAS GPS system, a flight safety feature that slowly lands the aircraft when communication is lost. 5. Make sure all software for the UAS is up to date and firmware is functioning properly. 6. Contact Air Traffic Control (ATC) for every flight within class (D) airspace. I will relay all my intentions and flight information. 7. Have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential harm. Aerial videography and photography for marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed winged aircraft and helicopters, but for small business owners its expense has been cost
prohibitive. Granting this exemption would allow me to provide this service at a much lower cost. Further, my small UAS when used properly will pose no threat to the general public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to larger manned aircraft. The operation of this UAS will mi nimize ecological damage.
