The equipment UAS———DJI F450 Propulsion System———DJI E300 Electric motor system Auto pilot———————DJI NAZA-M V2 GPS AUTO PILOT SYSTEM Radio————————Hitec 9 channel 2.4 Ghz system Receiver ——————-Hitec 9 channel 2.4 Ghz Battery———————-11.1v, 5000 mAH capacity Lithium polymer Gimbal———————-DJI ZENMUSE H4-3D Camera———————GOPRO HERO 4 BLACKCREW The crew will consist of two personnel, the operator (PIC) which is myself, and a spotter to aid in keeping visual contact of the UAS and to be on guard for any other obstacles that might jeopardize the safety of the operation. RISK ASSESSMENT A risk assessment will be conducted before each operation. The operator (PIC) and the spotter will observe the area for people, property, animals, power lines, trees and any other obstacle that might be a cause for concern. If it is determined that the operation will be too high of a risk, the operation will be terminated. PREFLIGHT INSPECTION A detailed flight inspection of the UAS and radio system will be conducted before each flight to determine if the UAS is in an airworthiness condition. (See attached preflight checklist) OPERATIONS AND THE SAFETY OF THE NAS Operations will not jeopardize the safety of the NAS. All operations will be flown within visual line of sight. All altitudes will take place well below 200 feet AGL. Most operations will take place between the altitudes of 5 to 60 feet AGL CHARACTERISTICS OF A TYPICAL WORK AREA The characteristics of a typical work area may include

Housing Buildings or structures Trees Power or telephone lines People Auto mobiles Animals or pets Fences or walls Street lights How My Services Will Benefit The Public LEADING EDGE AERIAL PRODUCTIONS will provide a more safe, cost efficient, quiet, eco friendly way of producing aerial pictures and videos compared to traditional methods of these operations that usually involve manned aircraft or cranes.OPERATING SPEEDS AND ALTITTUDES Most operations will be conducted between the altitudes ranging from 5 to 60 feet AGL and at speeds ranging from 5 to 10 mph.

DJI NAZA-M V2 GPS AUTOPILOT SYSTEM SAFETY FEATURES The DJI NAZA-M V2 GPS AUTOPILOT SYSTEM Features an advanced failsafe function that is triggered when the main controller losses signal. Two methods can be selected in the event of signal loss. Selection one: is LANDING where the UAS will simply descend and land in the exact location where the signal was lost. Selection two: is GO HOME AND LAND , where in the event of signal loss, the UAS will pause at its current altitude and location for 15 seconds, ascend to 65 feet AGL, turn to its home position (which is automatically recorded when and where you power on the UAS), travel to home position and descend until it has landed, then the system powers itself off. This failsafe feature can also be initiated manually by programing it into one of your two or three position switches on you transmitter. This manual method is used if the UAS has traveled too far away for the operator to determine the flight orientation. LOW VOLTAGE SAFETY FEATURE The DJI-M V2 GPS AUTOPILOT SYSTEM is also equipped with a two level voltage protection. This feature protects your UAS from dropping out of the sky due to low battery voltage. It will monitor the battery as the voltage is draining during flight. The UAS is equipped with an LED MODULE that is plugged directly into the main controller and mounted to one of the arms. It will blink an amber color continuously at the first level of protection in which the system has detected that the voltage is close to the second level of protection at which point the LED module will blinkred continuously, in this second level the UAS will automatically land. I intend to terminate the flight at the first level of protection so that I can maintain the authority to land in a safe spot.PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Parts, motors, electronics and propellers will be replaced if they are found to be damaged or worn, to prevent a mid flight failure.

AIRPORTS AND TFRs If a job site happens to be within 5 NM of an airport I will contact the manager of that control tower and seek the proper clearance needed to continue my operation safely. I will observe and comply with all temporary flight restrictions.
