Exemption No. 12365 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

– 20 15

– 0212

Mr. Robert B. McArtor RE/MAX Components 1301 Marquis Court Fallston, MD 21047

Dear Mr. McArtor :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends.

By letter posted to the public docket on January 29, 2015

, and additional information dated May 17, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of
RE /MAX Components ( hereinafter petitioner or operator ) for an exemption . The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned ai rcraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial videography and cinematography

.
See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA des cribing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

.
The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

.

Airworthiness Certification

The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a Blade 350QX

.
The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of P ublic Law 112

− 95 in reference to 49 U

. S

. C

. § 44704, and in2

consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from
14 CFR part 21

, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is

not necessary.

The Basis for Our Decision

You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection 1

. The FAA h as issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption No s

. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA

− 2014

− 0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Lab s , Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner an d carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest.

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 ;

 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemptio n Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

 A grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision

In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, RE/MAX Components is granted an exemption from
14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations lis ted below.

1 Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard the UA. Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.), electronic measurement (precision surveying, RF analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (part iculate measurement, etc.), or any other gathering of data by instruments aboard the UA.3

Conditions and Limitations

In this grant of exemption, RE/MAX Components is hereafter referred to as the operator.

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the Blade 350QX when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a pe tition to amend this exemption

.

2. Operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming are

not permitted.

3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either grounds peed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL.

5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

# Aircraft Performance

Operator has thourough knowledge of aircraft performance as outlined in the manual provided in the package when purchased as well as online.

http://www.bladchelis.com/Prodlnfo/Files/13LH8000-Manual —EN.pdf

# Aircraft Maintenance

To ensure safe operational control. A maintenance schedule will be followed, personal tailored maintenance manual has been created, and quality

replacement parts will be used.

— Inspection: Before and after every flight, the quadcopter's operational condition will be inspected for damage and deterioration. — Replacement Parts will be purchased from Blade Manufactures. — Repairs will be performed by a professional authorized retailer of the

Blade products where purchased from.

# Safety Concerns

Spotter for Hazards: To ensure safety, either the co-listing agent, seller, or another party, will be on site to review hazards before and during the flight.

Population of intended Areas: To ensure safety, all non-essential personnel will be removed from the area. There will be no flight over heavily populated areas like stadiums, schools, malls, airports, casinos, and freeways.

Airports: To ensure pilot(s) safety, there will be no flight in or around airports unless explicit written permission is granted.

Heavy Air Space Traffic: To ensure pilot safety, there will be minimal flight in heavy flight traffic areas or in known flight patterns.

Weather: To ensure safety of spotter, co-listing agents, property owners, and pet and wildlife flights will be conducted in optimal weather conditions.

Return-to-Home Features: In the event the Blade 350QX loses signal or runs critically low on battery the UAS has a GPS controlled return to home feature. The "Home" is set upon flight startup.

Flying in Confined Areas: There is a high probability of flying in confined spaces, around residential properties.

# Potential Hazards

The following are potential hazards that may or may not be present during flight operations.

— Jets, Airplanes, Gliders and other UASs. — Houses, Commercial Buildings, Shops, and Out Buildings. — Power Lines, Low Voltage Lines, High Voltage Lines, Cable Lines — Trees, Shrubs, Hedges
— Automobiles and Rvs — Wildlife, both land and air — Rivers, Lakes, Ponds, Sounds, Straits, and Other Bodies of Water — Unaccounted for People
— Unaccounted for Pets

# Privacy Concerns

During flight operations, privacy concerns are of the highest priority.

With each commercial flight a signed Addendum from our Real Estate Team will be in place (See Exhibit A).

In addition, I will have a Seller/Properry Owner signed letter authorizing the UAS's use for marketing purposes. (Exhibit B).

Neighboring parcels or properties: During each flight operation, the UAS pilot will be extremely mindful of neighboring parcels to not film, record, or take pictures of people and property without their written and signed consent.

Suburban Homes and Properties

Homes that are within residential neighborhoods, it is easy for the camera°s field of view to record and take pictures of homes and properties that are not intended to be advertised for sale. As the UAS increases altitude, so does the risk of inadvertently filming a home or property that hasn't given written permission to do so.

However, in many home property listing pictures it happens that neighboring homes are in the advertising pictures due to the neighboring layout and neighboring properties.

It is the opinion of Robert McArtor that higher altitude video and pictures are not as effective when advertising a suburban home because:

1. Higher altitude video and pictures isn't that useful in showing the lot's layout. 2. It is easy to discern lot lines and property boundaries from ground level recorded plat maps. 3. Privacy is an instant concern.

## Properties with Acreage

Homes and properties with acreage have a higher degree of uncertainty when trying to determine lot lines, boundaries, proximity to neighboring properties than a suburban home. Also, people looking to purchase a home with acreage, or a larger lot, have a higher degree of interest on knowing were the approximate lot lines are from an aerial perspective. That is why homes and property with acreage makes more sense to film with a UAS.

Homes with View & Waterfront

People looking to purchase and/or sell a home, or a property, with a view, or on waterfront, want to see the home or properry from an aerial perspective and to be showcased in this format. This is part of property owner profile. In addition, even though neighboring parcels might be shown in the picture and video, the neighboring properties will only be included if it is necessary to the subject property's marketing materials.

# Oberational Conditions

To capture high resolution images and video operational conditions will be closely monitored because showcasing a home in the best light is the utmost client priority.

Day Time:

1. Sunny Weather is Highly Preferred 2. Little to No Cloud Cover 3. Zero to Low Wind Speeds 4. High Visibility Conditions

No Night-Time Operations are Scheduled
