Application/Petition for Section 333 Exemption

October 23, 2015

Greetings, I am submitting this petition for exemption pursuant to Section 333; FAA Modernization and

R eform 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 operations, aerial mapping, special events to included but not limited to weddings, priv ate or public parties/events, business advertising, promotional events, geological surveying, and environmental studies. The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community will benefit them by opening up
opportu nities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods of aerial photography/videography are simply not viable options for the average consumer as they are costly and involve greater risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carry ing humans and flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions. Prior to each flight/operation of the UAV/UAS, I will conduct a Pre

- Flight Safety Inspection. Any and all repairs will be performed only by the manufacturer's authorized repair facilities/ providers. Flights will not take place over densely populated areas or private property without the owners' permission. The UAV/UAS will only be operated within visual line of sight and will not be flown ne ar airports or above 400 feet

.

The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exemption are as follows: 14 C.F.R. Part 21;

CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES FOR PRO DUCTS AND PARTS 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); Display of marks; general. 14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5); Recreational pilot privileges and limitations. 14 C.F.R. 61.113(a) & (b); Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command. 14 C.F.R. 61.133 (a); Commer cial pilot privileges and limitations. 14 C.F.R. 61.23(a) & (c); Medical certificates: Requirement and duration. 14 C.F.R 91.7(a); Civil aircraft airworthiness. 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, andplacard requirements. 14 C.F.R . 91.109(a); Flight instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain
