A . Purpose

This manual has been developed by Hale & Hearty, Inc. here in after referred to as "H&H", in

conjunction with an application for a Certificate of Waiver of Authorization (Exemption 333) of

the provisions of FAR 91.119 (b) and (c) for the purposes o f UAS aerial photography or video

production and recording

.

H&H ’s pilots and other company personnel

, when applicable

, will comply with the policies,

procedures and conditions of this manual, whenever photography, motion picture or television

flight opera tions are performed that require a Waiver of Authorization referred to above.

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 production and recording . The certific ate holder shall

ensure that no persons are allowed within 500 feet of the area except those consenting to be

involved and necessary for the production and recording . This provision may be reduced to no

less than 200 feet if an equivalent level of safety c an be achieved and the Administrator has

approved it. For example, an equivalent level of safety may be determined by an ASI’s

evaluation of the production and recording area to note terrain features, obstructions, buildings,

etc. Such barriers may protect nonparticipating persons (observers, the public, news media, etc.)

from debris in the event of an accident.

D. Area of Operations

H&H approved area of operations will be the continental United States, excluding Alaska and

Hawaii.5 E. Plan of Activities

If required per FAA restrictions and operations, H&H will submit three (3) days prior to any

scheduled production and recording

, FAA form 7711

- 2 and H&H Plan of Activities to the local

FSDO having jurisdiction over that are a. The H&H Plan of Activities to FS DO will include the

following:

1. Dates and estimated times for all flights.

2. Name and phone number of person responsible for the production event.

3. Name and phone number of person responsible for aircraft.

4. Make, model, UAS serial number, FAA N

- number of ai rcraft to be used

.

5. Name and certificate number of PIC involved in the production and recording production

event.

6. A statement that the waiver holder has obtained permiss ion from property owners and/or

local officials to conduct the production and record ing event. The list of those who gave

permission must be made available to the inspector upon request from the waiver holder.

7. Signature of Chief Pilot or PIC

.

8. A description of the flight activity including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town,

county , and/or State over which production and recording will be conducted and the

minimum altitudes essential to accomplish the operations.

The three (3) day notification may be waived, however, the operator should contact the FSDO as

soon as possible with thi s request and be prepared to explain why the three (3) day notification is

not practical.

F. Permission to Operate

Before any flight operation is conducted at less than 500 feet under the provisions of the

certificate of waiv er and this manual, the PIC wil l obtain permission to conduct these operations

from property owners and local officials as necessary or appropriate. Persons from whom

permission may be required are listed below:

1. Property owners

2. Law enforcement officials

3. Fire department officials

4. Local, State and Federal government

5. Air traffic control6 H&H personnel obtaining permissions will do so in writing whenever practical, however, verbal

permission is acceptable

.

A stand ard permission form is provided in Appendix A

- 3 and may be used when obtaining

written permission and release for property and talent

.

Flight permission forms will be maintained at the job site until flight operations are completed

then turned into the chief pilot to be kept on file for a minimum of six (6) months.

G. Security

Prior to any flight operation the operator will coordinate with appropriate production personnel

and location management to devise a plan to secure the area(s) of operation from all

u nauthorized persons and property . Provisions will be made to immediately discontinue

operations should the area(s) b ecome unsecured or for any reason in the interest of safety.

H. Briefing of Pilot/Production Personnel

Prior to the start of any operat ion under the provisions of this manual, the pilot in command will

conduct a briefing, "safety meeting", of all procedures to participating personnel of the risks

involved, emergency procedures, and safeguards to be followed during the production and

recor ding 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:

1. FAA exemption and a uthorization for motion picture and television "closed

- set"

certificate of waiver and any attached special provisions

2. Duties of PIC (Pilot in Command) and VO (Visual Observer )

3. Plan of activities • Flight Paths • Take off and landing pr ocedures • Communications •

Home Base "S afe Zone"

4. Aviation activities to be conducted during the production and recording event • Aircraft

recall procedures • Emergency procedures

5. Risks to partici pating personnel • Barriers and control of nonparticipating persons

6. Location management and "lock down" procedures during flight

I. Certification/Airworthiness

All H&H aircraft used in operations requiring a waiver of FAR 91 .119 (b) and (c) for the

purpos e of production and recording will not hold FAA airworthiness certificates

. However,

maintenance must be performed on a regular basis and recorded in the UAS logbook. The

aircraft will have a 100hr/annual inspection. Other required tests and inspections

(transmitter/receiver, IOC) will be performed as per Par t 91 when necessary. The UAS aircraft

will have a flight log containing maintenance and inspection details. The pilot in command will7 assure the aircraft to be flown is in airworthy condition and al l required inspections and

maintenance have been completed before each flight.

A ircraft in the experimental category must have the marking "EXPERIMENTAL" on the

structure as well as the "N" registration number

.

J. Pilot Personnel/Minimum Requirements

Th e Pilot in Command (PIC) must meet these minimum requirements:

1. A current U.S. private pilot or sports license certificate with ratings appropriate to the

category, class and type (if applicable) of aircraft to be used under the terms of the waiver

2. 40 hour s , 100 flight cycles logged as UAS PIC

3. 10 hours logged as PIC for the UAS to be flown for the commercial operation

4. 3 flight cycles within 90 days of a commercial operation in the UAS to be flown

5. A current US citizen drivers license

K. Communications

Prio r to the start of any operation covered by this manual, the pilot in command will formulate a

plan to provide communications capability to all participants during the actual production and

recording . Oral, visual or radio communications may be used as long as it is effective and is

capable of keeping the crew and participants continuously appraised of the current status of the

operation. A direct line of communication must be kept at all times between PIC and VO.

L. Accident Notification

Should an accident or incident requiring notification of the NTSB occur, the notification

requirements of FAR Part 830 would comply. Also, a ny incident/accident will be reported

within 1 hour to H&H and an incident report form, see Appendix A

- 5 , must be submitted by the

PI C within 24 hours to H&H

.

M. Recall/Stop Procedures

Radio communication, oral, visual or a combination will be utilized to keep the participants

continuously apprised of the current status of operation. Any participant may call for flight

abortion. The PI C will have the capability and responsibility to abort a flight in case of

unexpected obstacles, circumstances or any conditions that render the flight unsafe to property or

personnel. The UAS w ill be programmed to return to base if a loss of communication s between

the RC and UAS (transmitter/receiver) are disabled.8 N. Special Provisions
