Addendum to Petition for Exemption, requesting relief from the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112-95 FEB. 14, 2012, 

Section 333. 

March 28th 2015

ATT: Ms. Nia Daniels

Program Analyst, Airmen and

Airspace Rules Division

I am in receipt on your letter dated March 12th, 2015.

Forthwith please find my response to your request for additional information as per your letter.

The specific section or sections of 14CFR from which I seek relief are Title 14 Chapter 1 Subchapter

D parts 60 thru 67, specifically 61.1 to 61.429 regarding pilot certification. In addition, I respectfully 

request the FAA grant exemptions from regulations that address general flight rules, pilot certificate 

requirements, manuals, maintenance and equipment mandates.

I believe that these requirements are unnecessary and tangential to the issue of pilot controlled drone 

flight. Additionally, current FAA proposals have omitted this as a future requirement for small UAV's.

I request the use of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) within the National Airspace System (NAS) 

until such time as final rules and regulations become effective, at which time, I will then comply with 

the aforementioned rules and regulations. 

As to ensuring my security clearance, I voluntarily submit my name and all relevant information for 

clearance with any governing board having jurisdiction over this issue. I was vetted by the FBI when I 

became a US citizen and again was fingerprinted along with my application as a Realtor with the State 

of California. I have never been charged with or convicted of any crime. I submit this information as 

true and accurate under penalty of perjury.

Re: Public Interest 

I firmly believe that granting this exemption will allow for expanded access to the global real estate 

market. In many cases, homes/properties may have restricted or limited access due to numerous factors.

Many properties are “hidden” behind walls and landscaping, resulting in diminished “curb appeal”. 

Providing this relief would eliminate these problems and lead to increased commerce for both buyers, 

sellers, government taxation agencies, real estate affiliated companies, (title, escrow, notary), 

construction industry and home improvement businesses who rely on a thriving real estate market. 

Additionally UAV's provide for property inspections including roof and chimney that can assist in 

identifying hard to observe defects in manufacturing and installation. Camera mounted drones help 
mitigate accidents and death occurring from slips and falls which often result in liability claims and 

damages to all participants. Invariably, a reduction in risk to life and limb is a general benefit to the

public interest. Lastly, aerial videography provides the viewer with safe access to the property vicinity, 

eliminating needless driving to determine how close a property is to a freeway, school, beach or nearby

unsightly development. This in turn reduces exhaust emissions and air pollution. Our UAV's utilize 

battery power and have no negative impact on the environment. When fully rolled out, these emission 

reductions will be measurable and significant. 

In Conclusion:

I would like to add that we are committed to promoting the safe use of UAV's in general and 

specifically in regard to real estate and related services. We believe that by allowing “roll models”, the 

FAA can begin to establish responsible examples for the numerous flying devotees to come.

Note: In accordance with § 11.63 (d), we respectfully propose an effective date of

July 28th, 2015.

Sincerely,

Ian Sebastian CalBRE 01138820
