Above all/ we care 

11 Paul Peterson/ hereby submit this petition for exemption under Section 333; FAA Modernization and 

Reform Act of 20121 Public Law 112-95 FEB 141 20121 Section 333. I request this exemption in order to 

operate my UAV/UAS1 Yuneec Typhoon Q500-4K and/or Yuneec Tornado H920 electric aircraft/ in order 

to provide services for profit to include aerial photography for sight progress/ appraisals/ real estate/ 

inspections/ environmental monitoring and conservation/ insurance work/ agriculture/ wildlife/ aerial 

image data collection/ search and rescue/ public events/ news gathering/ electrical power lines/ wind 

turbines and cell towers/ weddings/ business advertising promotional events. 

Background Information 

Paul Peterson Aviation LLC was founded in 2013 with the intent to assist the local community and 

businesses with their aviation needs. A large majority of our customers are farming co-ops/ private 

farmers that utilize my crop dusting services. Services provided with the UAS will be broadening the 

business scope for us and offering the community a broader spectrum of services. 

Aerial Operations Intention 

Provide aerial view of residential properties/ commercial properties/ agricultural land/ wildlife areas/ to 

be listed with selling agencies. Provide crop management tools for the co-ops and farmers. To work 

with private parties and provide unique high-quality photography for personal use if requested. 

The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community will 

benefit them by opening up opportunities 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 great risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carrying humans and 

flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions. 

Prior to each fl ight/operation of the UAV /UAS/ we will conduct a Pre-Flight Safety Inspection as 

required .

Only the manufacturers authorized repair facilities/providers will perform any and all repairs. Flights 

will not take place over densely populated areas or private property without the governing 

agency/owner's permission. The UAV/UAS will only be operated within visual line of sight and will not 

be flown above 400 feet. The UAV/UAS flights conducted near airports will be under the authority of 

the controlling agency. The FAA can be confident that operations of this UAV /UAS will achieve at least 

the equivalent or greater level of safety. 

The requests of this petition are similar to those of Richard Guardino, Jordan Leigh Wildlife Imagery, 

and Skies the Limit Printing Inc., all of whom have received Section 333 exemptions for comparable 

aircraft for similar operations. 

Sincerely, 

Paul Peterson
