To whom it may concern,

I, Bryce Witkowski, owner and founder of Sound Aerial Photography, would like to receive an exemption under section 333. Bryce Witkowski will be the UAS operator doing business as Sound Aerial Photography.

I, Bryce Witkowski, hereby submit this petition for exemption under Section 333 ; FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 112 95 FEB. 14, 2012, Section 333. I request this exemption in order to operate my UAV/UAS, DJI Phantom 3 Professional Quadcopter Aircraft, in order to provide services for profit to include aerial photography, aerial cinematography, aerial filming and photography for real estate, construction firms, agricultural modeling, crop monitoring, special events to include but not limited to weddings, p rivate or public parties/events.


## Petitioners Background Bryce Witkowski is an Airline Transport Pilot, certificate number 3246875 , who also holds a CFI, CFII, and MEI Flight Instructor Certificate (#3246875CFI). Bryce Witkowski has 3,000 hours of flight time in manned aircraft and 200 hours of flight time in unmanned aircraft systems. All with a flawless safety records.


## Safety operations Safe flight operations start on the ground. Bryce witkowski will use his experience and knowledge of the National Ai rspace Systems to keep all UAS flights in a safe distance from aircraft operation. Also by motoring appropriate radio frequencies in the area by use of ground based communications. Proper preflight safety checks will be performed on the aircraft before e very flight and every flight will be logged for safety data. A full weather report will be attained either by duats.com or aviationweather.gov before every flight to be sure that the operation stays in VFR conditions . All FAA advisory circulars will be ch ecked and complied with before each day of operation . All Temporary Flight Restrictions and appropriate NOTAMs will be checked prior to each flight. The aircraft will always be operated in the line of sight.

The Aircraft to be used is a DJI Phantom 3 professional quadcopter. The aircraft uses GPS to determine its location and position. Prior to every fly the operator will check to assure the GPS is working correctly. The aircraft has altimeter to assure no operation will be conducted 400 feet above gro und level. The maximum speed of the DJI Phantom 3 is 35 mile per hour and has a weight of 2.9 pounds. It has a 17 feet per second assent rate and a 10 feet per second decent rate. The DJI Phantom has approximately 22 minutes of useful battery life. The aircraft will be landed in a safe location with no less than 5 minutes of over manufactures recommended safe battery time. Bryce Witkowski will make sure theaircraft is updated with the latest updates, and will follow any recommendations put forth by the

manufacturer for the purpose of safety. The user guide/manual is and always will be strictly followed to ensure the aircraft performance and reliability. The use of this aircraft is limited to photogr aphy and videography. For no circumstance will the a ircraft be used to carry persons nor property for any reason.



## The Benefit The benefit of Bryce Witkowski using an UAS instead of manned aircraft are:

 Less air pollution

 Less noise
 Does not congest National Airspace Systems

 Less airport traffic

 Less fuel u sed There are many benefits to using an UAS opposed to a manned aircraft. UAS are extremely efficient in all aspects. It would take a UAS 15 minutes to do a job that would take a manned aircraft an hour to do at minimum. There are great advantages of be ing able to start your flight at the location of the of Photography point opposed to always starting at an airport and wasting time to get to the correct location. This bring huge economic savings to everyone involved and greater safety because it minimiz es total time airborne.


## Similar Exemptions Granted: Recent exemptions granted that are similar to this petition: 12624,12622,12620,12617,12612,12605,12608. This petition is m ore qualified to get awarded than some other exemption s because of the experience and qualifications of the operator. There are no exemptions needed from part 61 of section 14. Which is the most import factor of the operation, the airman. The Airman is the one who flies the aircraft and it is the airman who is that could potentially put others in danger. This operator currently faces threats like these everyday being an Airline Pilot and knows how to operate an aircraft safely and mitigate these threats.


## Exemptions The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exemption are as follows: 14 C.F.R. Part 2 1 subpart H ; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b) ; 14 C.F.R 91.7(a) 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2) ; 14C.F.R. 91.109(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.119; 14 C.F.R. 91.121 ; 14 C.F.R. 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.203(a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 91.205(a),(b),&(c); 14C.F.R. or 91.207(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a) ; 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(2}; 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) & (b).I have been operating aircraft for over 10 years with a flawless safety record and I plan on carrying my

same safety mentality to this field of aviation as well. Sincerely.
