1. UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS (UAS) PROCEDURES A. General Procedures , Limitations, and Responsibilitie s O ver view : This manual has been dev eloped b y J ohn Riley, doing business as Acair Video Productions , hereafter referred to as Acair Video Productions . This manual will be used in conjunction with a Certificate of Authorization ( FAA FORM 7711 - 1 UAS COA ) w ith the pro visions of commercial use of battery

powered rotorcraft Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for the purposes of Video Productions for the Motion Picture and Television industries . When John Riley is under contract with another parent motion picture p roduction company , parent television production company or parent advertis ing company , certain responsibilities will be relegated to that production company (such as hiring Visual Observers (VO), obtaining permission of property owners or local authorities to conduct UAS operations, etc,) . Under no circumstance s will any part of the exemption, limitations, or procedures granted John Riley by the COA, be over - ruled, changed, superseded, or permanently relegated to the parent motion picture or parent televisi on co mpany . The COA and the associated waivers, exemptions, and limitations must be complied with by the parent company. Acair Video Productions ’ pil ots and other parent company personnel when applicable will comply

with the policies, procedures and condi tions of this manual, whenever motion picture or television flight operatio ns are performed that require the COA as mentioned above. All operations will be conducte d with UAS aircraft permitted by the COA. No operations will be conducted with passenger c arrying aircraft unless those aircraft are subject aircraft and are not in - flight or in motion by any means. UAS aircraft could be simultaneously subject aircraft as well as behind the scenes aircraft. When multiple UAS aircraft are utilized in one scene each aircraft will have its own designated operating area within the secured filming area with no overlaps. B. Pilot/Owner/ Operator Organization : John Riley , dba Acair Video Productions P.O Box 588, Blue Hill, Maine, USA 04614 seanriley @acairvideo.com (207) 479 - 6368 C. Persons Authorized : FAR 91.119 (c) is waived only with respect to those persons, vehicles and structures directly involved in the performance of the actual filming.

This provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet if anOriginal Dated 08/26/2015 - 5 -

equivalent level of safety can be achieved and the Adm inistrator 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 . D. Area of Operations: Acair Video Productions ’ approved area of operations will be all of the United States , its possessions, an d its territories. E. Plan of Activities : At least three (3) day s prior to any scheduled filming Acair Video Productions will submit a written plan of ac tivities to the local FSDO having jurisdiction over that area .
