3Distribution and Revision

All operators, CFP management, and staff are to have read and retained a copy of this manual prior to any drone operation. Only the president or CEO of CFP is authorized to make revisions to this manual. All revisions should be forwarded to the appropriate FSDO at least 15 days before the proposed effective date. See Appendix A for all proposed and approved revisions, with supportive documentation.

Authorized persons With exception to those individuals employed or contracted by CFP to pilot and manage drone operations; and those consenting individuals under contract for on-screen performances and production management (be they hired by CFP or a third-party client), all others must remain a minimum of 500 feet beyond the closed-set production area in compliance with FAR, Section 91.119(c). CFP will take the following actions to ensure compliance with the above: (1) Require and/or provide an adequate number of assistant directors and production assistances to stand guard at publicly accessible entrances to the closed production area. (2) Tape off additional entrances with a notice regarding production activities and schedule. (3) Notify site/property managers 72 hours prior to production. In accordance with the FAA his provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet if an equivalent level of safety can be achieved and the Administrator has approved it. For example, an equivalent level of safety may be determined by an Aviation Safety Inspector’s (ASI) evaluation of the filming production area to note terrain features, obstructions, buildings, etc. Such barriers may protect nonparticipating persons (e.g., observers, the public, or news media) from debris in the event of an accident.

4Area of operations

Operating under the limitations of FAA's Section 333 Certificate of waiver, CFP is authorized for operations throughout the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii, and its territories. The aforementioned waiver is issued by CFP's local FSDO. Therefore CFP must additionally coordinate with the regional FSDO having geographic responsibility over the area of the filming operations when conducted outside of CFP's local region.

Plan of activities Three days prior to filming, a written plan of activities containing the following details must be submitted by CFP to the appropriate FSDO having jurisdiction over the area of flight/filming operation. At the discretion of the FSDO, the 3-day notification may be waived, however, justification of the exception to the 3-day requirement must be submitted and approved. The regionally appropriate FSDO must give acknowledgement of the plan of activities and grant approval prior to any filming operations. The plan of activities must include at least the following information: (a) Dates and times for all flights. (b) Name and phone number of person responsible for the filming production event. (c) Make, model, and serial number or registration number of aircraft to be used and type of airworthiness certificate, including Category (CAT). (d) Names and certificate numbers of pilots involved in the filming production event. (e) A statement that permission has been obtained from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event. (f) Signature of waiver holder or a designated representative.

5(g) A general outline or summary of the flight activity schedule, including maps

or diagrams of the specific filming location, if necessary.

Permission to operate CFP will deliver and procure permission forms from property owners prior to operating an UAS on or over their property. See Appendix B for a sample copy of our permission form.

Security When appropriate CFP or a third-party client will be responsible for providing site security if the site and operations requires a level of safety and/or security beyond that provided for under the provisions of our “Authorized persons” statement above. If at anytime safety is breached or compromised, operators will land the UAS immediately and cease operations.

Briefing of pilots and production personnel Prior to the start of any operation under the provisions of this manual, the pilot in command (PIC) will conduct a briefing of all procedures to participating personnel of the risks involved, emergency procedures, and safeguards to be followed during the filming production event. Personnel will also be briefed on additional provisions that may be issued by the FSDO that has geographic responsibility for the operational area, including the location of boundaries or time limits. The briefing shall cover: (a) Plan of activities (b) Current and hourly weather forcasts (c) Takeoff procedures (d) Radio communication protocols (e) Flight pattern and activities to be conducted while filming during each flight (f) Approach and landing procedures

6(g) Recall procedures

(h) Emergency procedures (i) Risks to participating personnel (j) How to control nonparticipating persons (k) Any additional provisions that may be issued by the local FSDO, including the location of boundaries or any other time/use limitations.

Certificate/Airworthiness Each aircraft will have a flight log containing upcoming scheduled maintenance and inspections and the dates or times they must be performed. The pilot in command will assure the aircraft to be flown is in airworthy condition and all required inspections and maintenance has been completed before each flight. Pilot-in-command will ensure that inspections will be in accordance with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 43 and 91 and applicable operating limitations. The aircraft to be used may be certificated in any CAT, including experimental, provided the requirements of 14 CFR part 91, §§ 91.7, 91.9, and 91.203 are met.
Pilot Personnel—Minimum Requirements (a) A current U.S. FAA Pilot Certificate with ratings appropriate to the CAT and class aircraft to be used under the terms of the waiver. (b) At least 500 hours logged as pilot in command (PIC) and 20 hours of PIC in the aircraft type. (c) A minimum of 100 hours in the CAT and class of aircraft to be used. (d) A minimum of 5 hours in the make and model aircraft to be used under the waiver. (e) In the event that the 1,500-foot minimum standard contained in § 91.303(d) is to be waived, the pilot performing aerobatic maneuvers must hold an FAA Form 8710-7, Statement of Acrobatic Competency, for the operations to be performed. (f) In the event the operation to be conducted contains elements of an external-load operation, whether fixed-wing or rotary operations, pilots used in the operation shall be

7qualified. This qualification may be obtained through a test of knowledge (which may be

oral or written) and/or skill. A FAA inspector will give the test(s) or another company pilot approved by the FSDO and who is qualified to carry loads externally. These tests will be similar to 14 CFR part 133 requirements and cover the following subjects: - Steps to be taken before starting operations, including a survey of the flight area. - Proper method of loading, rigging, or attaching the external-load. - Aircraft performance capabilities under motion picture operating procedures and the Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM). - Proper instructions for flight and ground crew personnel. - AFM, pilot operating handbook (POH), or a rotorcraft-load combination flight manual, and limitations, if appropriate

Communications The pilot-in-command, camera operator and 1 st Assistant Director are all to remain within vocal range of each other at all times during UAS flight operation. Production assistants and 2 nd and 3 rd assistant directors managing production site security will stay in communication with the Assistant Director (1 st AD) through the use of radio communication at all times during UAS flight operation.

Accident Notification All accidents resulting in property damage, personal injury and/or damage to the UAS shall be reported to the regional FSDO with jurisdiction over the production area.
