Exemption No. 12299 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

– 20 15

– 0849

Mr. Matthew Sloane Atlanta Drone Consultants, LLC 332 West Benson Street Decatur, GA 30030

Dear Mr. Sloane :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends.

By letter posted March 30, 20 15 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Atlanta Drone Consultants, LLC ( hereinafter petitioner or operator ) for an exemption . The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned ai rcraft system (UAS) to conduct closed set filming for the motion picture and television industry

.
See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA des cribing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

.
The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

.

Airworthiness Certification

The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a DJI Inspire 1.

The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria2

provided in Section 33 3 of P ublic Law 112

− 95 in reference to 49 U

. S

. C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft
meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from 14 CFR part 21

, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements o f part 36, is
not necessary.

The Basis for Our Decision

You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection 1 and closed set motion picture and filming

. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption No s

. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA

− 20 14

− 0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Lab s , Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the peti tioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public i nterest.

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 ;

 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

 A grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision

In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Atlanta Drone Consultants, LLC is gr anted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a)

, 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection and closed set motion picture and filming. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

1 Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard the UA. Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.), electronic measurement (precision surveying, RF analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (part iculate measurement, etc.), or any other gathering of data by instruments aboard the UA.3

Conditions and Limitations

In this grant of exemption, Atlanta Drone Consultants, LLC is hereafter referred to as the operator.

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI Inspire 1 when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption

.

2. Operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming are permitted.

3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determ ine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.

**Petition for Exemption Federal Aviation Administration** 

Re: Unmanned Aircraft Sy stem use in NAS for compensation

Petitioner, Atlanta Drone Consultants , hereby petitions the Federal Aviation Administration ( “ FAA ” ) for an exemption from Part 21; §§ 45.23(b); 61.113(a) and (b); 91.7(a); 91.9(b)(2); 91.103; 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a) and (b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409(a)(2); and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). The proposed exemption, if granted, would allow operation of unmanned aircraft s ys tems (UAS) for the purpose of closed

- set filming for the motion picture and television industry

. The terms and conditions of Grant of Exemption No. 11062 ( Petition of Astraeus Aerial, Regulatory

Docket No. FAA

- 2014

- 0352 ) are hereby incorporated b y this reference as if full y set for herein with the exception of the mandatory Class 3 medical certificate.

Petitioner hereb y proposes the following terms and conditions for the grant of the exemption requested herein:

The UAS proposed b y the petitioner , the **Inspire 1** is a n unmanned four

- rotor, four

- motor “quadcopter” manufacture d by DJI . The UA S is under 4 5 pounds , wi ll be flown at all times under 3 00 feet AGL as measured b y the UA S’ on

- board GPS sy stem
, will be kept within line of sight of the Pilot in Command (“PIC”) , will have a separate safet y Visual O bserver (“VO”) at all times in communication with and within 5 feet of the PI C, will be flown at all times at speeds of 40 miles per hour or less

, will be flown at all times during day light hours , alway s using Visual Flight Rules (“VFR”) and within visual line of sight (“VLOS”)

, and never using first person view by the PI C . The PIC will be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses as specified by a cu rrent state

- issued driver ’ s license . The PI C will provide the local Flight Standards District Office (“FSDO”) with notice of all of flight operations no less than 72 hours in advance of an y intended flight

. Each PI C will have over 400 hours of logged flight experience in the same UAS ty pe or model, including 10 take offs and landings with in the prior 30 day s . The PIC will conduct a f ull and complete inspection of aircraft prior to the initial takeoff of each flight.

Public BenefitRegular helicopters are, except as provided in Section 91.119, not allowed to fly less than 500 feet AGL. UAS on the other hand are best when flown between 50 and 300 feet AGL and in fact the best video quality is 50 to 100 feet. A large manned helicopter could also cause very serious damage to persons or propert y on the ground and even to pilots and passenge rs inside a manned helicopter. A UAS weighing in at approximately six pounds would not be nearl y as hazardous. Additionally , a regular helicopter is normally larger than a standard automobile whereas the UAS is smaller than a basketball. It is substanti ally safer for the public to have a UAS accomplish the job of aerial photograph y than a manned helicopter just based on size alone.

In addition, the UAS can be operated for substantially less costs than a regular manned helicopter. The public is signifi cantl y served b y reducing the cost of videograph y via UAS aircraft.

Proposed Operational Parameters

The PI C will follow the manufacturer’s UAS aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. When unavailab le, aircraft maintenance/component/overhaul, replacement, and inspection/maintenance requirements will be established and identified in the operator’s manual. At a minimum, the following w ill be included in the operator’s manual:

1. Actuators / Servos 2. Tran smission (single rotor) 3. Powerplant (motors) 4. Propellers 5. Electronic speed controller 6. Batteries 7. Mechanical dy

namic components (single rotor) 8. Remote command and control 9. Ground control station (if used) 10. Any other components as determined by the operator

Prior to each flight the PIC will inspect the UAS to ensure it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft will be prohibited from operating until the necessary mainte nance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Station, if utilized, will be included in the preflight inspection. All maintenance and alterations will be properl y documented in the aircraft records.

Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS oper ation or flight characteristics ( e.g. replacement of a flight critical component) will undergo a functional test flight in accordance with the operator’s manual. The PI C who co nducts the functional test flight will make an entry

in the UAS aircraft records of the flight. The requirements and procedures for a functional test flight and aircraft record entry must be added to the operator’s manual.Prior to operations conducted for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar

operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51 (b), a minimum of five hours as a UAS pilot operating the make and model o f UAS to be utilized for operations under the exemption and three take

- offs and three landings in the preceding 90 day s. Training, proficiency , experience

- building, and take

- off and landing currency flights can be conducted under this grant of exemption to accomplish the required flight time and 90 day currency . During training, proficiency , experience

- building, and take

- off and landing
currency flights all persons not essential for flight operations are considered non

- participants, and the PI C must operate the UA with appropriate distance from non

- participants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.

Prior to any

flight operations authorized by this grant of exemption, the PIC and VO must have successfull y completed a qualification process, as outlined in the operator’s manual. As this is a requirement stipulated by the operator, the test must be developed and implemented by a qualified person designated at the sole discretion of the operator. A record of completion of this qualification process must be docume nted and made available to the Administrator of the FAA (the “Administrator”) upon request.

Prior to operations conducted for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), a flight demonstration, administer ed by an operator

- approved and qualified pilot must be successfull y completed and documented. This documentation must be available for review upon request b y t he Administrator. Because the knowledge and airmanship test qualifications have been developed b y the operator, and there are n o established practical test standards that support a jurisdictional FAA FSDO evaluation and approval of company designated examiners, the petitioner will conduct these tests in accordance with the operator’s manual.

The UAS will not be operated directl y over an y person, except authorized and consenting production personnel, below an altitude that is hazardous to persons or property on the surface in the event of a UAS failure or emergency

. Regarding the distance from participating persons, the operat or’s manual has safet y mitigations for authorized and consenting production personnel. At all times, those persons must be essential to the closed

- set film operations. Because these procedures are specific to participating persons, no further FSDO or Aviat ion Safety I nspector ( “ ASI ” ) approval is
necessary for reductions to the distances specified in the petitioner’s manuals. This is consistent with the manned aircraft procedures described in FAA Order 8900.1, V olume 3, C hapter 8, S ection 1 Issue a Certifica te of W aiver for Motion Picture and Television Filming (the “Order”)

. Regarding distance from non

- participating persons, the operator will ensure that no persons are allowed within 500 feet of the area except those consenting to be involved and
necessary for the filming production. This provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet if it would not adversel y affect safet y and the Administ rator has approved it. For example, an equivalent level of safet y may be determined b y an aviation safet y inspector’s evaluation of the filming production area to note terrain features, obstructions, buildings, safety barriers, etc. Suchbarriers may prote ct non

- participating persons ( e.g. observers, the public, news media ) from debris in the event of an accident. This is also consistent with the Order

. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA S must return to a pre

determined locat ion within the securit y perimeter and land or be recovered in accordance with the operator’s manual. The proposed UAS, the DJI Inspire 1, is designed to increase altitude 20 meters or 60 feet upon loss of signal between the ground controller held b y the pi lot and the aircraft itself. Upon reaching the higher altitude (a safet y feature to avoid people, trees and buildings), the UAS will return to its original take

- off point of origin and slowly land. It is critically important for the pilot to calibrate the aircraft prior to its flight. The calibration procedure sets the compass and lets the aircrafts onboard computer know where it is located on E arth. The UAS also has a F ly trex black box sy stem installed which tracks every flight so if a loss of link to the aircraft from the controller ever occurs, then the pilot can follow and retrieve the UAS when it lands. Additional details concerning lost

- link failsafes can be found in the Operator’s Manual.

The PI C will abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obs tacles or emergencies in accordance with the operator’s manual.

Each UAS operation must be completed within 30 minutes flight time or with 25% battery power remaining, whichever occurs first.

The PI C will request a Notice to Airmen (“NOTAM”) not more than 72 and not less than 48 hours prior to the operation.

The operator will develop procedures to document and maintain a record of the UAS maintenance, preventative maintenance, alterations, status of replacement/overhaul component parts, and the total time in service of the UAS. These procedures will be added to the operator’s manual.

Each UAS operated under this exemption will comply with all manufacturer Safet y Bulletins.

The operator must develop UAS technician qualification criteria. These criteria must be added to the operator’s manual.

The preflight inspection section in the operator’s manual must be amended to include the following requirement: The preflight inspection must account for all discrepancies, i.e. inoperable components, items , or equipment, not covered in the relevant preflight inspection sections of the operator’s manual.

Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UA S must comply with the Federal Communications Commissio n ( “ FCC ” ) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements.At least three day s before scheduled filming, the operator of the UAS affected by this exemption must submit a written Plan of Activities to the local FSDO with jurisdiction over th e area of proposed filming. The 3

- day notification may

be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of activities must include at least the following:

a. Dates and times for all flights

b. Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS filming production conducted under this grant of exemption

c. Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on

- scene operation of the UAS

d. Make, model, and serial or N

- number of UAS to be used

e. Name and certificate number of UAS PI Cs involved i n the filming production event

f. A statement that the operator has obtained permission from propert y owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upo n request.

g. Signature of exemption

- holder or representative

The documents required under 14 CFR § 91.9 and § 91.203 will be available to the PI C at the ground control station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

The UA S will remain clear and yi eld the right of way to all other manned operations and activities at all times (including, but not limited to, ultralight vehicles, parachute a ctivities, parasailing activities, hang gliders, etc.).

UAS operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations will be conducted under visual meteorological conditions ( “ VMC ” ). Flights under special visual flight rules ( “ SVFR ” ) are not authorized.

The UAS will be operated by the PIC from any

moving device or vehicle.

The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PI C.

The UA will not operate in Class B, C, or D airspace without written approval from the FAA. The UA w ill not operate within 5 nautical miles of the geographic center of a non

- towered airport as denoted on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained, and the operation is conducted in ac cordance with a NOTAM as required b y t he operator’s COA. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator upon request.Any 1) incident, 2) accident, or 3) flight operation that transgresses the lateral or v ertical boundaries of the operational area as defined b y t he applicable COA must be reported to the FAA UAS I ntegration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours. Such a ccidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board ( “ NTSB ” ) per instructions c ontained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov. Further flight operations may not be conducted until the incident, accident, or transgression is reviewed b y AFS

- 80 and authorization to resume operations is provided.

Unless otherwise specified in this grant of exemption, the UAS, PI C, and operator must comply with all applicable parts of 14 CFR including, but not limited to, parts 45, 47, 61, and 91.

The Federal Aviation Administration by and through its authorized representative is requested to approve this petition based on the above terms and conditions for a certificate of authority and certificate of exemption to operate within the above parameters for compensation or hire within the United States National Air Space.
