Commercial operation of an UAS, as described herein, which are equipped with camera and sensors, would operate in the following maner:

• Aerial!video!and/or!photography!for! commercial film and advertising.

As!described!fully!below,!the!requested!exemption!would!permit!the!operation!of!a!UAS!under! controlled!conditions!in!the!NAS!that!would!be!a)!limited

,! c)!predetermined

,! and!d)!will!provide!safety!enhancements! to!the!already!safe!operations!in!the!industry!presently!using! conventional!aircraft.!Approval!of!this!exemption!would!thereby!enhance!safety!and!fulfill!the! Secretary!of!Transporta tion responsibilities!to!“....establish!requirements!for!the!safe!operation of! such!aircraft!systems!in!the!national!airspace!system.”!

We will operate a UAS, the FREEFLY Alta Drone, less than 55 pounds including payload. They operate at a speed less than 50 knots and have the capability to hover and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. It has an auto return to launch point when battery power is under 25%. The UAS will operate within the line of sight within a protected flight area as described below and at 200 feet AGL or less with an observer located close at hand as to make voice communication possible. These operations will not create a hazard to users of the nation airspace, public nor the environment.
