# 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a)

(1) Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, 

# establishes the procedural

requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR

§91.203 (a) (1 ). Given 

# the size and limited operating area associated with the

aircraft to 

# be utilized 

# by 

# the Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H

meets the 

# requirements of an equivalent 

# level of safety under Part 11 and

Section 333 of the Reform 

# Act. The Federal Aviation 

# Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 

# (f))

and Section333 of the Reform 

# Act both authorize 

# the 

# FM to exempt aircraft from

the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size,

weight, speed, operational capability, 

# and proximity to airports and populated

areas of the 

# particular UAS. In an cases, an analysis of 

# these criteria

demonstrates that 

# the UAS operated 

# without an 

# airworthiness certificate in the

restricted environment 

# and under the conditions proposed will 

# be at least as safe,

or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an

airworthiness certificate without the restrictions 

# and conditions 

# proposed. The

UAS to be operated hereunder is 

# less than 55 lbs. fully 

# loaded, carries neither a

pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials or 

# flammable liquid fuels, and

operates exclusively 

# within a 

# secured and 

# designated area Unlike 

# other civil

aircraft, operations under this exemption will 

# be tightly controlled 

# and monitored

by both the operator and under 

# the requirements 

# and in compliance with local

public safety requirements. 

# These safety enhancements 

# provide a greater degree

of safety to the public and property owners than conventional operations

conducted with airworthiness 

# certificates issued under 14 C. F. A. Part 

# 21, Subpart

H. Lastly, 

# application of 

# these same 

# criteria demonstrates that there is no

credible threat to national security 

# posed by the UAS, due to its size, speed of

operation, location of operation, lack 

# of explosive materials or flammable liquid

fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load.

14 C.F.R. 

# § 45.23 (b). Marking of 

# the Aircraft 

# The regulation requires: When

marks include only 

# the Roman capital letter 

# "N" and 

# the registration number is

displayed on linited, 

# restricted or light 

# sport category 

# aircraft or experimental or

provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft

near each entrance to the cabin, 

# cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2

inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited! "restricted! 0 

# light sport/'

"experimentaV' or "provisionalf as applicable.

14 C.F.R. 

# § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft 

# The regulation requires: When

marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is

displayed on limited, restricted or light 

# sport category aircraft or experimental or

# provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must 

# also display on that aircraft

near each entrance to the cabin, 

# cockpit, or pik>t station, in letters not less than 2

inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited! "restricted/' "light

sportl'"experimentalf or "provisionaV' as 

# applicable. Even though the UAS will

have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may 

# be needed as the UAS will

have no entrance to 

# the 

# cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word

"Experimental" can be placed. Given the size of the UAS, two inch lettering will

be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed on the fuselage in

compliance with 

# §45.29 (f). 

# US Department of Transportation February 

# 20, 2015

The equivalent level of safety 

# wil be provided by having the UAS marked on its

fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where 

# the pilot, observer and others working

with the UAS will see 

# the 

# identification of the UAS as "Experimental." 14 C.F.R. §

61.113 (a) and (b The proposed UAS operations may achieve an equivalent level

of safety as achieved by current Regulations because the applicant's UAS do not

carry any pilots or passengers nor 

# property. The risks attendant to the It is

believed that the operation 

# and limitations set forth in the FOM will equate to the

safe operation of the UAS.

14 C.F.R. §91.7{a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness. The regulation requires that no

person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will

be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be

granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness.

Given the size of the aircraft for maintenance and use of safety checklists prior to

each flight, an equivalent level of safety will be 

# provided. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2):

Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. Section 91.9 (b) {2) provides: No

person may operate a U.S. registered civil aircraft

... (2) For which an Airplane or

Rotorcraft Right Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is

available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Right Manual,

approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof.

The UAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a

flight manual on the aircraft, 

# not only because there is no pilot on board, but

because there is no room or capacity to 

# carry such an item on the aircraft. The

equivalent level of safety 

# wiD be maintained by keeping 

# the flight manual at the

ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to

it.

14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action. This regulation requires each pilot in

command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety of flight. As

F 

# M approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not 

# be provided for the aircraft an

exemption will 

# be needed. The PIC will take all actions as stated in the FOM in

Section 4 under Normal Procedures including but not limited to reviewing

weather, flight battery requirements, landing 

# and takeoff distances and aircraft

performance data before initiation of flight.

# 14 C.F.R. 

# §91.1 09: Right Instruction. Section 91.1 03 provides 

# that no person

may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) 

# that 

# is being used for

flight instruction unless that 

# aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. UAS and

remotely piloted aircraft, by 

# their 

# design 

# do 

# not have fully functional dual controls.

Flight control 

# is accomplished through the use 

# of a control box that

communicates 

# with the 

# aircraft via radio 

# communications. 

# 1he FAA has approved

exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls for a number of

aircraft and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. The equivalent level of

safety is provided by the 

# fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in

the aircraft and by the 

# size 

# and speed of 

# the aircraft.

14 C. F. R. 

# §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. 

# Section 91.119 establishes safe

altitudes for operation 

# of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) 

# aDows helicopters to be

operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided 

# the person operating

the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes 

# prescribed for helicopters by

the FAA. As this exemption 

# is for a UAS that 

# is a helicopter and 

# the exemption

requests authority 

# to operate 

# at altitudes 

# up 

# to 400 AGL, or not 

# more than 200

above an elevated platform from which filming 

# is planned, 

# an exemption may be

needed to allow such operations. As set forth herein, 

# the UAS will never operate

at higher than 400 AGL with 

# the exception that in circumstances where the UAS

is used to survey or photograph a structure 

# whose height exceeds 400 feet AGL,

the UAS will 

# not be operated more than 

# 200 feet above the highest 

# point on the

structure. It 

# will however 

# be operated in 

# a restricted 

# area with 

# security perimeter,

where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre

obtained consent. The equivalent level 

# of safety will be achieved given the size,

weight, and speed of 

# the UAS as well as the location where it 

# is operated. No

flight will be taken without 

# the permission 

# of 

# the property 

# owner or local officials.

Because of the 

# advance notice 

# to the 

# property 

# owner and participants in the

filming activity, all affected individuals 

# wll 

# be aware 

# of the planned 

# light

operations. Compared to flight operations with 

# aircraft or rotorcraft weighting far

more than the maximum 

# SSibs. Proposed herein and 

# the lack 

# of flammable fuel,

any risk associated 

# with these operations is far less than those presently

presented with conventional aircraft operating at 

# or below 

# 500 AGL. In addition,

the low altitude operations of the 

# UAS wiD ensure separation between these UAS

operations 

# and the 

# operations 

# of conventional aircraft that must comply 

# with

Section 91.119.

14 C.F.R. 

# §91.121 Altimeter Settings. This regulation requires each person

operating an aircraft 

# to maintain cruising altitude by 

# reference to an altimeter that

is set "

... to the elevation 

# of the 

# departure airport or an appropriate altimeter

setting available before 

# departure. • As the 

# UAS may 

# not have 

# a barometric

altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an U.S. exemption may be



# needed. An equivalent level of 

# safety will be 

# achieved by the 

# operator, pursuant

# to 

# the safety check 

# list and live 

# flight data monitoring, 

# confirming the altitude of

the launch site 

# shown on 

# the GPS altitude indicator before 

# flight.

14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for 

# Flight 

# in VFR Conditions Section

91.151 (a) prohibits an 

# individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under

VFR conditions unless 

# (considering 

# wind and forecast weather conditions) there

is enough fuel to fly 

# to the 

# first point 

# of intended landing, 

# and, assuming normal

cruising speed- (1) During the day, to 

# fly after that for 

# at least 30 minutes; or (2)

At night, to 

# fly after that for at least 45 minutes." The applicant believes that an

exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 (a) falls within 

# the scope of prior exemptions.

Operating the UAS 

# in a tightly 

# controlled area where only 

# people 

# and property

owners or official representatives 

# who 

# have 

# signed waivers 

# wil be allowed does

not engender the 

# type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate

given the size and speed of 

# the small UAS. The applicant believes that an

equivalent level of safety can be achieved 

# by limiting flights 

# to 30 minutes or 25%

of battery power- whichever 

# happens first. This restriction would 

# be more than

adequate to return 

# the UAS to 

# its planned landing zone 

# from anywhere in its

limited operating area.

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft 

# Certification and

Registration The regulation provides in pertinent 

# part: (a) Except as provided in§

91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless 

# it has 

# within 

# it the following:

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate

.... (b) No person may

operate a civil aircraft unless 

# the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph

(a) of this 

# section or a 

# special light authorization issued 

# under §91. 715 is

displayed at the 

# cabin or cockpit entrance so that 

# it is 

# legible to passengers or

crew. The UAS fully loaded weighs wei under the proposed 551 b limit and is

operated without an onboard pilot. 

# As such, there is no ability or place to carry

certification 

# and registration documents or to display 

# them on the UAS. An

equivalent level 

# of safety 

# wiD 

# be achieved 

# by keeping these documents at the

ground control 

# point 

# where the pilot 

# flying the UAS 

# will have immeOtate access to

them, to the extent they are applicable to 

# the UAS.

14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) 

# & (b): Maintenance

Inspections. 

# These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall

have that aircraft 

# inspected as 

# prescribed in subpart E 

# of this 

# part and shall

between required inspections, except as provided 

# in paragraph (c) of this section,

have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in 

# part 43 of this chapter

... ," and

others shall inspect or maintain 

# the aircraft in compliance 

# with Part 43. Given that

these sections and Part 43 

# apply only 

# to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate,

these sections 

# wil not 

# apply to 

# the 

# applicant. Maintenance will 

# be accomplished

by the operator 

# pursuant to 

# the flight manual 

# and operating 

# handbook. An

equivalent level of safety 

# will be achieved because 

# the UAS is 

# very limited in size

# and will carry 

# a small payload 

# and operate only in restricted areas for 

# a limited

period of time. If mechanical issues arise 

# the UAS can land immediately and will



# be operating from no higher than 

# 400 feet AGL 

# The operator will ensure that the

UAS is in working 

# order prior 

# to initiating 

# flight, 

# perfoon required maintenance,

and keep a log 

# of any maintenance 

# performed. Moreover, 

# the operator is the

person most faniliar with 

# the airaaft 

# and 

# best suited 

# to maintain 

# the aircraft in an

airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level 

# of safety. 

# An equivalent level of

safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections 

# will be 

# performed

in accordance with the UAS Manufacturer's 

# User Manual. 

# As provided in the

FOM, 

# and a link on last 

# page, the operator wiD ensure that 

# the UAS 

# is in working

order prior 

# to initiating flight 

# and perform required maintenance needed.

Additional Information.

The applicant John Taylor Thompson believes this exemption request and

associated safety considerations adequately satisfy criteria provided in Section

333 of the Reform Act 

# of 2012, providing 

# sufficient justification 

# for 

# the granting of

commercial operations 

# of the applicant's 

# UAS. I also feel 

# its in 

# the public's

interest on granting the exemption, as 

# we can educate them at the same time.

And all the positive sides 

# of the new technology and 

# the level of safety.

The applicant John Taylor Thompson requests your respective approval of this

Section 333 exemption petition request.

Thank you for your attention in this matter. Please notify John Taylor

Thompson of your actions, and or approvals. Thank you, for your interest in this

request.

Sincerely,

John Taylor Thompson
