Dear	Sir	or	Madam:

Pursuant	to	Section	333	of	the	FAA	Modernization	and	Reform	Act	of	2012	(the	

Reform

Act)	and	14	C.F.R.	Part	11,	Brian	Morris,	Morning	Star	Photography,	LLC,	(DBA	

Morning	Star	Creative	Group).,	hereby	applies	for	an	exemption	from	the	listed	

Federal	Aviation	Regulations	("FAR")	to	allow	commercial	operation	of	its	UAVs,	so

long	as	such	operations	are	conducted	within	and	under	the	conditions	outlined	

herein	or	as	may	be	established	by	the	FAA	as	required	by	Section	333.

The	requested	exemption	would	permit	the	operation	of	small,	unmanned	and	UAVs	

under	controlled	conditions	in	airspace	that	is	1)	limited	2)	predetermined	3)	

Controlled	as	to	access.

UAV	flights	performed	by	Morning	Star	Photography in	all	scenarios,	can	readily	be	

protected	with	secured	access	by	the	staff	of	Morning	Star	Photography,	comparable	

to	that	of	a	movie	production	set.	The	structures	on	these	properties	provided	

sufficient	protection	from	the	decent	of	the	UAV	and	can	be	completed	with	much	

less	risk	than	what	would	be	assumed	in	a	manned	operation	at	low	altitudes.	

Morning	Star	Photography	plans	to	offer	video,	photogrammetry,	and	photography	
services	for	commercial	purposes	initially	including:

1.	Corporate	events	I.E	banquets,	Conventions,	awards	ceremonies,	Expositions.

2.	Outdoor	events	I.E.	Boating	Regattas,	automobile	racing.

3.	Promotional	video	and	commercial	production	for	businesses.

4.	Thermal	video	for	solar	industry

5.	Thermal	and	HD	video	for	commercial	grade	towers	I.E.	Cell	Towers,	Radio	

Towers.

6.	Real	estate	video	showcasing	of	residential	and	commercial	grade	properties	for	

the	purpose	of	resale.

7.	Aerial	mapping	and	plotting	of	commercial	and	residential	land.	I.E.	Topography	

for	new	construction.	Agricultural	planning	and	inspection	of	new	and	existing	

crops.

8.	Video	Inspection

The	UAV	applications	listed	above	are	closed	to	the	general	public,	providing	the	

opportunity	to	operate	only	in	an	area	where	informed,	consenting	participants	and	

personnel	are	present.

Where	Towers	and	solar	panel	farms	are	concerned,	Morning	Star	Creative	Group	

will	be	operating	within	airspace	previously	reviewed	by	the	FAA	for	the	

construction	of	the	tower	therefore	the	airspace	of	the	controlled	operations	area	

creates	no	additional	hazard	to	the	national	airspace.	Approval	of	this	exemption	

would	therefore	create	no	safety	concerns	regarding	national	airspace	and	fulfill	the	

Secretary	of	Transportation's	(the	FAA	Administrator's)	responsibilities	to	"	...	

establish	requirements	for	the	safe	operation	of	such	aircraft	systems	in	the	national	

airspace	system."	Section	333(c)	of	the	Reform	Act.

The	name	and	address	of	the	applicant	is:
