Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act

Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act), and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Jeremiah Dalton DBA Pendulous Pro hereby applies for an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) listed below to allow operation of our Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) so long as such operations are conducted with and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333.

Applicant has reviewed FAA 2015 Exemption Numbers -11062, -11109, - 111112 and -11213 and determined that this request is similar in nature.

Summary to be published in Federal register: Jeremiah Dalton DBA Pendulous Pro seeks exception to 14 C. F. R 21, 45.23 (b) 91. 7(a), 91.121, 91.1 SI (b), 91.203, 91.207, 91. 405(a), 91. 407(a) (1), 91. 409(a) (1) &(a) (2), and 91. 417(a) & (b). in accordance to Section 333 of the FAA 1Vlodernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act), and 14 CP:R. Part 11 to allow operation of Unmanned Aircraft S'ystems (UAS') commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).I. Applicants name and address:

Jeremiah Dalton DBA Pendulous Pro 717 Woodland Drive Dothan, Al . 36301

II. The specific applicable regulations from which relief is requested (CFRs); 14 C.F.R 21, 45.23 (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.203, 91.207, 91.405(a), 91.407(a) (1), 91.409(a) (1) &(a) (2), and 1.417(a) &(b), 91.9(b) (2) and 91.119. In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Applicant request relief from 91.207 Emergency Locator Transmitter due to the limited operational zone of the UAS. Applicant request relief from 14 CFR 45.23Markings and Registration 1Vumber since sUAS size does not permit required markings. Registered sUAS will be marked in permitted manner to meet the intent of requirement. Applicant requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) &(a)(2), and 91.417(a) &(b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. Additionally, maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs will be made using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents. Applicant seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, Applicant submits that all sUAS used for purposes listed in proposal are in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UASs are in compliance with the operating documents and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight. Applicant seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UAS to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with visual line of sight, at or below 400 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121. Applicants seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFIR conditions. Applicant submits that safety will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a totalduration of approximately 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming

normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. Applicant requests exemption from 91.9(b) (2) Civil Aircraft Flight Manual Marking and Placard Requirements, the requirement of placards and on-board flight manuals since these items would not be feasible due to the small size of the UAS aircraft. The applicant will ensure that the appropriate operating manuals and safety procedure guidelines are located at the ground station during flights. Applicant requests exemption from 91.119 Minimum Safe Altitudes since the UAS can be safely flown at lower altitudes than traditional aircraft. The UAS will be flown at or below 400 feet AGL.

III. How the operator will maintain an equivalent level of safety or no adverse impact to safety UAS Pilot in Command

~ PIC ~ In accordance with Section 333 exception, Pendulous Pro Pilot PIC currently holds a FAA Commercial Pilot-Rotorcraft-Helicopter; Instrument Helicopter license. He has a FFD military medical flight certificate on file, a valid Alabama State Drivers License and completes an instrument flight review every 12 months with a military Flight Instructor and meets CFR 61.56 requirements. He possess over 1000 hours of flight time. Future Pendulous Pro PICs will be required to meet requirements set forth by FAA such as those stated in sUAS Notice of Proposed Rule Making if approved and wi11 include restrictions of flight for any sUAS without first having at least 2 hours of training time with a practice drone below 100 feet AGL and 10 hours of training time with the exact aircraft used for the business operations. The PIC candidate will only train in areas with very little or no observers. This allows the PICs for Pendulous Pro to test all the systems and understand fail safe features to the fullest extent before conducting business with the UAS.

Unmanned Ai.rcraft SYstems Jeremiah Dalton DBA Pendulous Pro will register all UAS in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration ofAircraft, as well as 14 C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration. DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 equipped with a built-in camera. These UASs have a built-in capability to set limits of height it flies above the ground, to limit the radius of the distance from the operator and to exclude it from Class B, C and D airspace including a no fly zone feature. The Phantom and Inspire also have the failsafe function of the Naza-M autopilot system which means when the communication between the Main Controller and the transmitter is disconnected, the outputs of all command sticks from controller will go to the center position. The GPS allows an automatically triggered Return to Home feature and will land safely without aid of the PIC. The UAS of Pendulous Pro will be operated in the field of view with both a Pi1ot in Command (PIC) and a ground-based Visual Observer (VO) in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" with the following additional restrictions:• A11 UAS will weigh less than 55 pounds including payload.

• The UAS will not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The use of either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed will be used for compliance. • All operations in controlled airspace will be coordinated with appropriate ATC facility. • The UAS will be operated within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) of the Visual Observer (VO) at all times in order to adhere to "see and avoid". •Whi1e the UAS are airborne, the visual observer (VO) will maintain voice contact with the Pilot in Command (PIC). • All UAS will be maintained and inspected to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. • Before each flight, the PIC will conduct a pre-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. • Operations will only be operated over private property, commercial property, or other property with permission of the land owner. • The UAS will not operate within 5 NM of any airport or heliport (unless well-coordinated with the ATC) • Operations will be limited to day, visual meteorological conditions • sUAS used will be equipped with "Return to Home" technology in order to mitigate risk of "loss of positive control"

IV. How granting the exemption would be in the public interest The benefits of sUAS compared to manned aircraft. • sUAS are light weight compared to traditional aircraft meaning considerably less danger and damage to people and structures on the ground in the event of an accident. • Electric sUAS use considerably less energy. There is no fuel to ignite if there is an accident and no noxious gases exhausted. They are environmentally "green" vehicles. • sUAS can be launched on-site, eliminating transit times to and from the operating area as well as airport traffic. The result is shorter flight times, no exposure to people and things outside operating area and almost no possibility of coming in to contact with other aircraft. • Electric sUAS are have superior noise reduction compared to manned aircraft. • sUAS can operate safer in smaller space and lower to the ground than manned aircraft. • The lower acquisition and operating cost of sUAS will make aerial photography affordable to organizations that have a need but could not justify the high cost of manned aircraft. • Adherence to the above restrictions and limitations present a significantly lower risk to the public and the sUAS operators compared to traditionally operated aircraft.V. Proposed Operations

The requested exemption would allow Jeremiah Dalton DBA Pendulous Pro to pursue commercial interests in the Southeast area of Alabama providing services to consumers interested aerial data capture using sUAS comprised of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 in the foliowing areas: • Real Estate Photography • Marketing/Advertising • Insurance Claims • Golf Course Planning • Construction Monitoring • Inspections • Land Appraisal • Wedding Photography/Video a • Surveying • Special Events • Vineyard/Winery Jeremiah Dalton DBA Pendulous Pro states that a11 UAS flights that will occur over private or controlled access property, with the property owner's prior consent and knowledge and that only people who have consented or otherwise have agreed to be in the area where filming will take place will be filmed.
