BACKGROUND 

Unmanned·Aircraft Systems: DJlPhantom 2 Vision+, UAS 

RONALD ]·STRASSER seeks an.exemptionto,opera.te·DJI·Phantom 2 Vision+ for 

compensation ~r hire within .the NAS. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ is vertical takeoff and 

landi~g.(VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft (UA) with a Ground Control Station (GCS)utilizing 

electroni¢ tablet or·smart phon~. systems. The DJl Phantom ·2 Vision+ has a maximum 

gross weight of approximately 2.8 lb. while having a diagonal dimension of 23 .2'', a 

maximum sp.eed of approximately 16.4'fPs ~d a maximum tlyi~g heightof400'. The 

DJl Phantom 2 Vision+ is equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer 

battery powered electric motors. 

4 
The DJlPhantom 2 Vision+ that will be operated by RONALD J STRASSER is 

registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103., Registration of Aircraft, as well as 14 

C.F.R Part47, Aircraft Registration, and marked in accordance with ·14 C~F.R. Part45, 

Identification and Registration Marking, registration number is F A39LEHHYC · 

BASIS FOR PETITION 

Petitioner, RONALD J STRASSER, pursuant to the provisions ofthe Federal Aviation 

Regulations(14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 

(FMRA), Section 333, Special Rulesfor Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems, hereby 

petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJl Phantom 3, UAS in the 

National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption f,rom therequirem~nts of14 

C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.15l(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 

91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) &. (b). 

In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated·with the 

unmanned aircraft and its operation, RONALD J STRASSER operations ofDJI Phantom 

2 Vision+ UAS meets the conditions ofFMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not 

require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with.14 C.P.R. Part 21, .Subpart H. · 

Accordingly, RONALD J STRASSERrequestsrelieffrom Sections 91.405(a), 

91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) &(a)(2), and91.4l7(a}& (b), as these sections set forth 

requirements for maintenance that only apply to<aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. . 

RONALD JSTRASSER submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent 

level of safety will be ensured. RONALD J STRASSER will use experienced personnel 

or technicians to perfonn maintenance,. alterations, or preventive maintenance .on the 

UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents 

(i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and on Phantom 2 Vision+ Instruction Manual). 

Furthermore, RONALD J STRASSER will document and maintain all maintenance 

records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS. 

Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot 

privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by RONALD J STRASSER to 

the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a .private pilot or higher 

level certificate, as well as an airman medical certificate, and who has demonstrated, b,Y 

meeting minimum flight- hour and currency requirements, thatthe PIC is able to safely 

operate the DJI .Phantom ·uAS in· a manner consistent with this exemption, including 

evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, 

vessels, vehicles and ~tructures.. . . . . . ··... . . . . . . . RONALD J STRASSER seeks relief from Section 91 ~7(a), entitled Civil aircraft 

airworthiness, ~cause the.Dn Phantom 2 Vision+UA.S do not require an airworthiness 

certificate in accordance with 14 C.F .R. ·part 21, Subpart H. As such, RONALD J 

STRASSER. submits that he will ensure that the DJl Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS. is in an 

airworthy condition,· priorto every flight, by determining that the UAS are in compliance 

with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 . 

Vision+ Instruction Manual), and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight.

RONALD J STRASSER also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 

91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJl Phantom2 ·Vision+ UAS .will.nothave a 

typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJl Phantom 

2 Vision+ UAS will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (OPS) 

equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks ftomt~e UA 

to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined 

with RONALD J STRASSER's operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS within 

visual line ofsight, at or below 400 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalentto 

Section 91.121. 

Additionally, RONALD J STRASSER seeks an exemption from the requirements of 

Section 91.151 (b), entitled Fuel requirements forjlight In. VFR conditio~. RONALDJ 

STRASSER submits that safety will not be affected by operation of tile DJl Phantom 2 

Vision+ UAS during· daylight hours in visualmeteorologicalconditions (VMC) under 

visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 

approximately 19 minutes. Battery power indicators are also· able to show exactly .how 

much battery power is left, as well as how much time is needed to return safely ·back to 

point of takeoff~ · ·

and wlto has met certaintlight-hour and curre~cy requirements, to conduct the proposed 

UAS flight operations for compensation or hire. 

This relief is requested since·the Hmitationssetforth.inSection 61.113(a)and(b) state 

that a private pilot may, for compensation or hire,. act, as .PIC of an· aircraft in connection 

with any business or employment if: ( 1) The ftight is only incidental to that business or 

employment; and 

(2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or propertY for compensation or hire. 

As set forth more fully below, RONALD J STRASSER submits that an equivalent level 

ofsafety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJl Phantom 2 

Vision+UAS unless thatPIC has met certain flight·hour and.currency requirements, 

demonstrating that the PIC is able to· safely operate either the DJI Phantont2 Vision+ 

UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as described in this

the FAA requires that any. altitude information. con~emingUAS operations .be. reported to 

air traffic control (ATC) in .feet above grolll1d Jevel(AGL), :RONALD J STRASSER 

seeks the requested reliefbecause the Dn Phantol)12 Vision+ UA' s altimeter may be set . 

on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than· the local barometric pressure or field altitude, 

before. each flight. 

Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations, relief from·14 CFR 91.121 is 

sought to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable conditions and limitations 

stated below. As more fully set forth herein,.~· equivalent level of safety will be 

maintained since the DJI Phantom· 2 Vision+ UAS .are equipped with a barometric 

pressure sensor and GPS eq1:1ipment,. which autQma~ically :ensures that a.ground level 

pressure setting will be established prl.orto each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude

STRASSER to safely, efficie11tly, and economically perform aerial video and 

photography of construction sites, real estate, events and civic landscape ·over·certain 

areas ofthe United States. . · . .. · .· 

Additionally, use. of the DJl Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS will decrease congestion of the

benefits of Ronald J Strasser's proposed operatlon ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS 

will be realized without implicating any privacy issues. · 

l. The Public Will Benefit From Decreased· Congestion Of The NAS. 

The DJI Phantom· 2 Vision+. UAS are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and 

econo111icalaltem~tiveto the manned aircraft;traditipnally utilized to·obtain.aerial 

imagery. By reducing the amPuntofmanned aircraft needed to perform aerial 

acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a 1DJI P~antom 2 Vision+ UAS would. 

reduce the amountofm~e4 :aircraft in: the NAS~ redu~e: noise and air pollution, as wen· · 

as increase the safety ofUfe and property in the au: and :on the ground. 

Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, 

congestion around airports caused ~by arriving and departing· aircraft will be· reduced~ The 

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+UAS do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a 

reduction of manned· aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would 

result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air· traffic control during· the grotmd,

Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS,. instead of manned 

aircraft, will greatly benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels. ofair and noise 

pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. 

By using battery power and electric motors, the on :Phantom 2 Vision+ tJAS produce no. 

air pollution,. and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin 

class, six cylinder internal combustion engine :airCraft that are typically utilized for aerial 

video and photography, while burning approximately 20.;,30 gallons per hour of leaded 

aviation fuel. The DJI·Phantom 2'Vision+.UAS, while reducing the·carbon footprintof 

aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAS are propelled by battery 

powered electric motors, rather than an intemalcombustiol1 engine. 

By using the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS to perfonn aerial acquisitions, the substantial 

risk to life and property in the air and on the ground, which· is usually associated with 

traditional manned. aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or compl~tely 

eliminated. Aside from the lack offlighterew .members located onboard the aircraft, the 

DJI Phantom 2 Vision+UAS (weighing.approxim.ately·2.8.pounds at their·maximum 

gross weight with diagonal dimension of 23.2 inches, and with no fuel on board), has less 

physical potential for collateral damage to life 8lld property on the ground, and in the air, 

compared to the manned aircraft that typically col1d\Jct similar operations (weighing ·

4. There· Are No Privacy~lssues. 

Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for 

decades, Ronald J Strasser's proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 2. Vision+ UAS will 

not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJIPhantom 2 Vision+ UAS will be 

operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., .The "B4UFL Y'' mobile app, 

knowbeforeyoufly .org, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ 

Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law 

enforcement notification, and in accordance with.the Federal Aviation Regulations, 

including the mini~um altitude requirements ofl4

prior docume~ted flight experlenee that :was· obt&i~~dl~ c~mpl.iance with applicable 

regulations would ensure·safe.op.~radons,. stating·&S.follows: ·.. · 

In Exemption No .. 11062, the FAA re,quired:·tbat prior to conducting operations for the 

purpose. of motion picture filming (or similar operation$), the PIC must have accumulated 

and logged, in a manner consistent with •14 CFR 6LS l (b), >25 hours oftotal time as a 

UASrotorcraft pilot including at least'10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi-rotor . 

UAS. Prior to operations under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have . 

accumulated and logged a minimum of5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make · 

and modelofUAS to be used for operations :under the exemption. For clarification, the 

FAA ·considers these minimum hour requirements to;· be inclusive rather thart additive; i.e. 

5 hours make and model tim~:may ·be included in the 1 Ohours of multi-rotor time and the 

10 hours may be included in the!total2S. hoilrs ofUAS rotor~raft time. In addition to the 

hour requirements, the PIC musta.ccomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 

days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds thatat a minimum, the flight-hour 

requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency hi 

the skills·necessary to safely conductthe·petitionerts proposed operations. The FAA also 

fmds that ·prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with 

applicable re~lations would satisfy this requirement Training,· proficiency~· and 

experience-building tlights·ean· also· be conducted under the grant of exemption to 

accomplish the required tli$httime. During training• proficiency, and experience-building 

flights ·the PIC is required to operate the UA With appropriate distances in accordance 

with 14 C.F.R 91.119. 

Exemption No. 11138 at page 15. 

Accordingly, RONALD JSTRASSER will ensure safe operations by not allowing.any 

PIC to operate the On Phantom 2 Vi$ion+ UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by 

meeting minimum flight-hour and .currency· requirements, that the PIC is able to safely 

operate the on Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS. in a manner consistent with the exemption, 

including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from 

people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

operating limitations ofthe UAS are considered. Rceliefbas.been granted for manned 

aircraft to operate at less than the minimums presc~bed in Section 91.1 S 1, including 

Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650, Moreover, the FAA has previously granted 

relief from Section 91.151. specific to UAS, in· circumstances similar, in· all material

6. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Sections 91.405(a), 

91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l)& (a)(2), And 91.417(aa)& (b) Would Not Adversely Affect

by Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l)& (a)(2), and 9l.417(a) & (1:,) will be 

met because RONALD J ·STRASSER will use trained technicians to perform 

maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance.on the UAS using the ·methods,· 

techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., the "B4UFLY''
