a. General Purpose

This Motion Picture Television Operation Manual has been developed by the owner of DroveView Imaging, LLC., (hereby referred to as DVI). DVI has applied for a FAA 333 exemption to operate UAS’s commercially in the continental United States. With a COA, (hereby referred to as a Certificate of Authorization), to conduct commercial drone operations and a completed and agre ed to Application for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization for the provisions of FAR 91.119 (a), (b), (c),

DVI intends to use UAS to d igital ly acqui re aerial video and

stills on closed movie and television production sets . DVI, and its personnel, will c omply with the policies and procedures as well as the conditions of this manual while performing under a

Waiver of Authorization.

c. Pilots/Person s Authorized

The FAR, 91.119 is waived only in regard to the personnel, vehicles and structures directly involved in the work related to5 the actual recording of the digital aerials and stills. The

certific ate holder shall ensure that no persons, other than necessary for the completion of the work, are allowed within 500 feet of the proposed flight area. This provision can be

reduced to 2 00 ft. if an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by the personne l of DVI and the administrator has approved the waiver. DVI can ensure an equivalent level of safety by making note to terrain and building features that would enhance the safety of the flight.

d. Planned Areas of Operation

DVI intends to work within the confines of the continental

United States.

e. Agencies Required to Operate

Before a flight is proposed, under the Application for Certificate of Waiver or Authorization, DVI intends to request written permission from th e property owners as well as the local officials as required by statute or as appropriate.

DVI will obtain written permission when practical, however, verbal permission is appropriate on a case

- by

- case basis.

Permissions will be held at the film or televi sion location during the work process and held by DVI for inspection for 1 year from the date of the shoot. The forms will be made available for inspection by the administrator with reasonable

notice.6 f. Plan of Activities

DVI intends to submit 3 days prior to film/video work scheduled work a written plan of activities to the local FSDO having jurisdiction. The plan of activities must include:

1. Dates and times of UAS flights 2. Name and phone number of person(s) responsible for filming production ev ent. 3. Name and phone number responsible for UAS

. 4. Make, model and N

- number of UAS

. 5. Name and phone number of pilot flying UAS.

6. Statement that waiver holder has obtained written permission from property owner(s) and local official(s). 7. Signature of waiver holder. 8. Description of UAS flight activity, which may include maps or diagrams of the local area. Routes and altitudes will be included as necessary.

As per the agreement of the Certificate of Waiver or Authorization, a NOTAM will be must be issued at least 24 hours prior to the intending work schedule. DVI intends to submit a written plan within the parameters of the FAA form

7711

- 1

.

The issuing agency or FSDO shall require the following

information:

1. Name and address of pilot filing t he NOTAM request. 2. Location, altitude and operating area. 3. Time, date and nature of work. 4. Number of UAS flying in the work area.7 DVI has developed a UAS flight preparation document, which is included in appendix A.

g. Security

Prior to fligh t operations of DVI’s UAS’s, the PIC will coordinate with the appropriate personnel to secure the area of operation from all unauthorized persons or vehicles. DVI intends to maintain an equivalent level of safety of manned vehicles and will terminal operat ions should the area become unsecure and

unsafe for any reason.

h. Production Briefing

DVI intends to conduct a briefing before engaging in work under the provisions of this manual. Procedures for emergencies, safeguards and risk management will be fol lowed during the production work. DVI, and other relevant personnel, shall be briefed on the additional provisions that may be relevant to the operational area. They must acknowledge and accept the risks associated with this work.

Each production environm ent has inherent differences, however, DVI intends to practice best efforts and provide an equivalent level of safety of manned vehicles.

The minimum le vel of a brief will be as follows.

1. S pecial provisions,

2. O perational manuals of the UAS

3. A pl an of workflow

4. C ommunications8 5. F light proce dures

– Park, Start, Taxi, Takeoff, Flight activities during the production, L anding and S hutdown.

6. Return to Base for UAS

7. E mergencies

8. A ssociated risks.

i. Certification/Airworthiness

All DVI drones working under the Waiver or Authorization and

this MPTOM shall have a FAA approved tail number and serial number. At this time, the 333 commercial exemptions provide

a waiver from the certification and airworthiness requirements of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Each UAS shall have a log of maintenance , firmware versions and upgrades as available for the various components of the

UAS. These logs will be ava ilable for inspection by the

administrator with reasonable notice.

j. Pilot Certification Minimums

DVI has only one pilot working under this waiver and therefore, DVI does not believe we need to create minimums for the sole operator.

The operator is a CFII fixed wing with 2000 total hours and 900 plus hours of training. Furthermore, he has 250 plus hours

of aerobatics.

However, within the scope of this document and the appropriate waivers, we intend to develop a workflow and9 training process es to c reate a level of safety equivalent to the normal aircraft in the national airspace system. The UAS COA provides us a minimum level of qualifications for UAS pilots. With the proper training and doc umentation, DVI has develop ed a written curriculum and stan dards that can be applied to this waiver.

At this time, no other pilots are allowed to fly UAS under this

document.

k. Communication

Under the provisions of a UAS COA, the PIC must have a visual observer (VO) and have instant voice communications. Thi s item will be reviewed during the preflight safety production brief of the personnel in the geographic area. Furthermore, DVI intends to work with local tower and TRACON personnel via

two

- way communication radios as necessary to maintain safety during the mission.

l. Notification and Accident Procedures

Should there be an accident or incident as per the requirements of part 830, the NTSB will be notified.

m

. Return to Land Procedures

DVI operates a fleet of DJI UAS, which have built in Return

- to

Home features. Those features are enabled and would automatically engage if communication or battery thresholds

were met to RTH.10 n. Aerobatic Competency

No aerobatic maneuvers or any fligh t procedures related to any FAR are applicable to this waiver.

o. Special Provisions

The certificate holder, DVI and its personnel, must adhere to the accepted motion picture and television operators manual.

Furthermore, the PIC may remove and instal l specialty equipment authorized in accordance within the exemption granted under section 333 of the FMRA. Additional provisions deemed appropriate to the Administrator to ensure safety of the operation should be prescribed by the FSDO.

The controls, cond itions and procedures, which are set fourth in the DVI MPTOM, are primarily designed to protect person on the ground.

The Pilots and UAS under this authorization will only be those specified in the DVI MPTOM. Each daily plan of activity shall have the pro duction date, location, pilot’s name and certificate

number. All relevant documentation and vehicles shall be available for FAA inspection before the scheduled event.

The PIC conducting the operations authorized under this

certificate understands the con ditions of issuance and that it

constitutes a waiver of FAR 91.119.11 DVI and its personnel shall within the best of its abilities ensure that participating persons in the operation are thoroughly briefed on all of the items in the production brief.

No person may participate in the event unless they have been

briefed.
