### RE: Exemption request under section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act and part 11 ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations.

Dear Sir or Madam, I request an exemption from 91.7(a), 91.119,91.121, 91.151(a), 91.405, 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2) and 91.417(a) and (b) oftitle 14, code ofthe Federal Regulations {14cfr) was granted in Exemption Numbers 11138, 11395, 11428, and 11434. Iwill operate a DJI Phantom vision 2+, a UAS weighing less that 3lbs. at takeoff, and can take photos and videos using the on board camera. The operations performed with this UAS are to include but not be limited to Real estate photography use to inspect roofdamage, condition, eliminating the danger of have an inspectoron high and damaged roofs, photographs used to help sell real estate with various reality companies. (2) Agricultural crop inspection after high winds and orfloods, to inspect growth rates to determine iffertilizer is needed. (3) Private surveying of roads for local and state highway departments. (4) coverage of possible natural disasters, Flood, Tornado damage, for local media and insurance claims. The use of UAS reduces the need for conventional aircraft in populated areas. All photos and video will be taken safely and with the coordination of law enforcement if used for natural disasters. Operations underthis exemption will be conducted as outlined in the proposed rule set in motion on 02/23/2015 in docket FAA-2015-0150.

• Operational Limitations Visual line ofsight (VLOS) only; the unmanned aircraft must remain within VLOS ofthe operator orvisual observer. • At all times the small unmanned aircraft must remain close enough to the operatorforthe operatorto be capable ofseeing the aircraftwith vision unaided by any device otherthan corrective lenses. • Small unmanned aircraft may not operate over any persons not directly involved in the operation • Daylight only operations (official sunrise to sunset, local time) • Mustyield right-of-way to other aircraft, manned or unmanned.• May use visual observer (VO) but not required. • First-person view camera cannot satisfy "see-and-avoid" requirement but can be used as long as requirement is satisfied in otherways. • Maximum airspeed of 100 mph (87 knots). • Maximum altitude of500 feet above ground level. • Minimum weathervisibility of3 milesfrom control station. • No operations are allowed in Class A (18,000 feet 

### &above) airspace. • .Operations in Class B, C, Dand Eairspace are allowed withthe required ATC permission. • Operations in Class Gairspace are allowed withoutATC permission • No person mayact as an operator orVO for more than one unmanned aircraft operation at one time. • No careless or reckless operations. • Requires preflight inspection by the operator. • A person may not operate asmall unmanned aircraft ifhe orshe knows or has reason to know ofany physical or mental condition thatwould interfere with the safe operation ofasmall UAS. I request an exemption from 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2) and 91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance Inspections since they only apply to aircraftwith an airworthiness certificate. Iwill, however, perform a preflight inspection ofmy UAS before each flight as outlined in the operating documents. I request exemption from § 91.151. The Pilot in Command will abide by thefollowing personal protocols and controls: • Operatorwill only operate in reasonably safe environmentsthat are strictly controlled, are awayfrom power lines, elevated lights and airports. .Operatorwill conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols as outlined in the operating documents. • Operate the UAS below 500 feet and within a radius distance of 1500feet from the controllerwhile maintaining direct line ofsightvisual observation (VLOS). • Land the UAS before the manufacturer's recomended minimum battery level. • Use the UAS' GPS flight safety feature wherebythe aircraft raises to a predetermined safe altitude and then returns to pointoftake offshould communication with the remote control operator is lost. • Contact respective airports and/or Flight Standard District Offices ifoperations will be within 5 miles to advise them of my estimated flighttime, flight duration, elevation offlight and other pertinent information. • Have procedures in place to abortflights in the event ofsafety breaches or potential danger. 91.7{a) prohibitsthe operation ofan aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. I assert that since there is currently no certificate applicable to my operation,this regulation is inapplicable. 91.119 prescribes safe altitudesforthe operation ofcivil aircraft, but itallows helicoptersto be operated at loweraltitudes in certain conditions. Operator will not operate the UAS above the altitude of500 feet above ground level {AGL) and will also only operate in safe areas awayfrom the public and traffic, thus providing a level ofsafety at least equivalentto or belowthose in relation to minimum safe altitudes. 91.121 AltimeterSettings is inapplicable since my UAS utilizes electronic GPS with a barometersensor.
