Pilot in Command I hold a commercial rotorcraft

- helicopter, instrument helicopter, and Airplane single engine land license. I served in the US Army as a Pilot

- In

- Command flying Blackhawk helicopters, and held the company Aviation Safet y Officer position. I was trained through the Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center in Ft. Rucker, AL. I hold certificates in Accident investigation and analysis, Occupational Safety and Health Standards forGeneral Industry, and OSHA 511. W ith this educa tion and aviation background I will

ensure all aspects of my business are safe and within FAA regulations. In addition to Douglas Trudeau’s exemption I request to use the UAS as a means to mitigate my risk as a Home Inspector on rooftops. Ladders and w alking on roofs in inclement weather can be very dangerous. Using a UAS to take video or photos will eliminate that risk providing thorough rooftop coverage. As in Trudeau’s exemption, I would get written approval from the home owner, ensure no one is st anding in the operating zone and post signs when the UAS is airborne. At no time will the UAS be flying over any person. For real estate purposes, the UAS will be safely flown to observe property and its nearby features. I will also obtain appropriate UA S insurance prior to any operations. Operation of the UAS The UAS is very maneuverable and can be used indoor and outside safely. The aircraft will have a GPS system which allows it to return to the point of origin and land safely if the battery runs lo w unnoticed. Keeping a log book for maintenance and flight time will ensure proper maintenance is conducted. Preflight inspections will be done for every flight and the proper checklist will be used. Post flight checks are just as important and will be conducted after every flight. If an accident were to occur a complete inspection of the UAS would be conducted, and a test flight in open terrain would be flown to ensure normal operation prior to commencing any further flights for hire. I request exemp tion from CFR part 91.119

- Prohibition of Flight in Congested Areas. I request the use of the UAS to obtain video and photography from an aerial perspective to help aid in real estate developement and surrounding features. The UAS would only take obliqu e angles and at no time fly directly over any person. In addition, I am requesting exemption from 91.203 (a) becasue the Phantom 2+ is a hobby grade UAS that should not require an airworthiness certificate or registration certificate.
