The Extent of Relief John M Restrepo Seeks and the Reason It Seeks Such Relief: John M Restrepo submits this application in accordance with the Reform Act, 112P.L. 95§§331334,Seeking relief from any currently applicable federal aviation regulations PARs Pertaining to sUAS (unmanned aircraft systems) and operating to prevent John M Restrepo Contemplated commercial photography, videography and other flight operations within the U.S.national airspace system. The Reform Actin §332 provides for such integration of civil UASs into our national airspace system asitisinthe public's interest todoso. John M Restrepo lightweight UASs meet the Definition of "small unmanned aircraft" asset forth in §331 and combined witha sterling safety Record in similar industries, John M Restrepo light duty sUAS are ideal recipients of exemption By the intent ofthe Reform Act. Considerations for relief include a combination of sUAS physical characteristics, safety features,And safe practices identified in §333: • sUAS weight, • sUAS overall size,• sUAS speed over ground, • sUAS flight zone characteristics, Non Operation near airports (civilian or military), tightly controlled operation in populated areas, John M Restrepo, Real Estate professional Florida Licensed Realtor #SL3317268 The client. Specific consideration is outline below. Re: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act of201 2 Operation ofthe UAS by VLOS by 14 C.F.R. Part 2 1 , Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F. R. §91.203 (a)(1) Subpart H, Entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirement sfor the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203 (a)(1). Given the size and limited Operating area associated sUAS, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements Ofan equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and §333 ofthe Reform A ct. ll1e Federal Aviation act (49 U.S.C.§4470 1(f)) and §333 ofthe Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt Aircraft from the requirement foran airworthiness certificate, upon consideration ofthe size, weigh, ht, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and populated areas ofthe Particular UAS. Inall cases, an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that the UAS operated Without an airworthiness certificate, inthe restricted environment and under the condition Proposed will beat least as safe, orsafer, thana conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) Operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The UAS tobe operated by John M Restrepo islessthan 11kg. with maximal payload Consisting of remote sensing instrumentation, carries neither no persons, carries no

explosive or flammable materials including combustible l e fuels, and operates exclusively within a secured area. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations under this exemption will be tightly controlled and Monitored bythe pilot (PIC), whose roleis designated toactas both the remote sensing Controller and secondary monitor for safety issues, anda technician, which assists in matters related to maintaining the sUAS and also monitors for safety concerns and liaisons totheon site safety officials. These enhancements to current safety practices and regulations, which already apply to civil aircraft, provide a greater degree of safety tothe public and property owners than conventional aircraft operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application of these same criteria demonstrates that there isno intrinsic credible threat to national security posed bythe UAS, duetoits size, speed of operation, location of operation, lack of intrinsic explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry a substantial extern a 1 load. 1 4 C.P.R. §45.23 (b). Marking ofthe Aircraft The regulation requires: When marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed on limited , restricted or light sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin , cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than2 inches no more than6 inches high, the words " limited ;' "restricted;' "lights port;' "experimental ;'or "provisional;' as applicable.Even though the sUAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed asthe sUAS will have no entrance tothe cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" can be placed. Given the size ofthe sUAS, two inch lettering will be impossible. The word "Experimental" will be placed onthe frame in compliance with §45.29 (f)ata size suitable for the available space. The equivalent level of safety will be provided by having the sUAS marked onits fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working with the

sUAV will see the identification ofthe UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has issued the following exemptions tothis regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 101 67A. Further markings include the use of flashing green LED illumination onthe underside of

the sUAS frame which stands at contrast against ablue or white sky. Jobn M Restrepo, Real Estate Professional Florida Licensed Realtor #SL3317268 Re: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act of2012

14 C.P.R. §6 1.113(a)&(b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command. §61.113 (a)&(b) limit private pilots tonon commercial operations. Because '"the sUAS will not carry apilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve the equivalent level of safety of current operations by requiring a ground crew member to have a private pilot's license rather thana commercial pilot's license to operate this sUAS. Unlike a conventional aircraft that carries the pilot and passengers, the sUAS is remotely controlled with no persons on board. The area of operation is controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance .The risks associated with the operation ofthe sUAS areso diminished from the level of risk associated with commercial operations contemplated by Part 61 when drafted, that allowing operations as requested witha private pilot inthe ground crew exceeds the present level of safety achieved by14 C.P.R. §61.1 1 3(a)&(b). 1 4 C.P.R. §91.7(a): Civil aircraft airworthiness. The regulation requires that no person may operate acivil aircraft unless itisin airworthy condition. As there will beno airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. Given the size ofthe aircraft and the requirements contained inthe Manual for maintenance and use of safety

check lists prior to each flight, a subset of which are provided in enclosed Supplemental material, an equivalent level of safety will be provided. 14 C.P.R. §91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. §91.9 (b)(2) provides: No person may operate aU.S. registered civil aircraft ...(2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft F light Manual isnot required by §21.5 ofthis chapter, unless the reis available inthe aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, orany combination thereof. The sUAS, given its size and configuration has no ability to carry a physical flight manual onthe aircraft. The equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the

flight manual atthe ground control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access toit. The FAA has issued the following exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607,8737,8738,9299, 9299A, 9565,95658, 10167, 10167A, 10602,32827, and 10700. 14 C.P.R. §9 1.103: Preflight action This regulation requires each PIC to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety of flight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will notbe provided for the aircraft an exemption will be needed. The PIC will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight. Further, we have proprietary manuals created with the help of sUAS experts, the manufacturer, the regional sUAS vendor and policy holding insurer and continue to work with these organizations to ensure best safe practices are adhered to. 14 C.P.R. §91.1 09: Flight instruction §91.1 03 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) thatis being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. sUAS and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design donot have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use ofa control box that communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls fora number of aircraft and for flight instruction in experimental ' .....aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K & 9862A. The equivalent level of safety provided by the fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried inthe aircraft and bythe size andJohn Mario Restrepo, Real Estate Professional Florida Licensed Realtor #SL3317268 Section 333 Exemption Petition Re: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Refo rmAct of2012 speed ofthe aircraft. Enhancing this safety isthe technology inherent inthe remote controls utilizing digital communications which is paired tothe sUAS making it nearly impossible to unintentionally or intentionally have the control communications interrupted.14C.F .R.§9 1.119 : Minimum safe altitudes §91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. §91.119 (d) allows helicopters tobe operated atless than the minimum s prescribed, provided the person operating the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters bythe FAA. As this exemption isfora sUAS

that closely mimics the behavior ofa helicopter,. and the exemption requests authority to operate at altitudes upto400 AGL,an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. Asset forth herein, the UAS will never operate at higher than 400 AGL or beyond unaided visual line of sight, whichever is closer. Itwill however be operated ina restricted area with security officials tasked with ensuring public safety ,and where buildings and people will notbe exposed to operations without their preobtained consent and training. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, speed ofthe UAS

as well asthe location where itis operated. No flight operation will be taken without the permission ofthe property owner inthe case of private property or local officials Inthe case of public property or private property with public interests. Because ofthe advance notice tothe property owner and participants inthe remote sensing activity, all affected individuals will be aware ofthe planned flight operations. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft weighting far more than the maximum 11kgof John M Restrepo sUAS proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations isfar less than those presently presented with conventional air craft operating ator below 500 AGL. In addition, the low altitude operations ofthe sUAS will ensure separation between these small UAS operations and the operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with §91.119. 14 C.F. R.§91.121 Altimeter Settings §91.121 requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude eby reference toan altimeter thatisset"...tothe elevation ofthe departure airport oran appropriate altimeter setting available before departure." As the sUAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but instead aGPS altitude read out. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved bythe operator, confirming the altitude ofthe launch site shown onthe GPS altitude indicator before flight. The operatorwill also ensure effective pairing with multiple GPS sources to guarantee accurate detec tion of height.

14 C.F.R. §9 1.151 (a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions §91.1 51 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight inan airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel toflyto the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed( 1) During the day, tofly after that forat least 30 minutes; or(2)At night, tofly after that forat1east 45 minutes:' The battery powering the sUAS provides approximately 15 minutes of powered flight in hover mode without payload. John Mario Restrepo sUAS will not be able to meet the 30 minute reserve requirement in14 CPR §9 1.15 1. Operating the small UAS, ina tightly controlled area where only people and property owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed ,with less than 30 minutes of reserve power, does not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151(a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed ofthe small UAS. John Mario Restrepo believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to»10 minutes or less that 50% of battery power whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the sUAS toit's planned landing zone from anywhere inits limited operating area. Similar exemptions have been granted to other operations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673 ,and 10808 John Mario Restrepo, Real Estate Agent Realtor# SL3317268 Section 333 Exemption Petition Re: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act o/2012 1 4 C.P.R. §91.203(a)&(b): Carrying Civil Air craft Certification and Registration The regulation provides in pertinent part:

(a) Except as provided in §91. 715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within itthe following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate ... (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a)of this section ora special flight authorization issued under §91. 715is dispiayed atthe cabin or cockpit entrance so thatitis legible to passengers or crew.The sUAS fully loaded weighs no more than llkg andis operated without an onboard pilot. As such, there isno ability or place to carry certification and registration documents orto display them on the sUAS .An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents atthe ground control point where the pilot flying the sUAS will have immediate access to them, tothe extent they are applicable tothe sUAS. The FAA

has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample of other exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565,9665,9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, 9816A, and 10700. 14 C.P.R. §91.405 (a);407(a)(1);409(a) (2);417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart Eof this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c)of this section, have discrepanciesrepaired as prescribed in part 43ofthis chapter ... ;'and others shall inspector maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given that these section and Part 43 apply only

to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these sections will not apply tothe applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished bythe operator pursuant tothe flight manual. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because these small UASs are very limited insize and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods oftime. If mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL. The operator will ensure that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep alog ofany maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator isthe person most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft inan airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. An exemption granted to John M Restrepo would permit its operation of lightweight, unmanned, remotely controlled, sUAS ina tightly controlled environment with limited airspace. John M Restrepo, utilizes local business' safety officers in specifically determined areas (designed flight zone) to mitigate injury and property damage while fulfilling clients' goals. Technical enhancements to current safety controls will allow John M Restrepo, to operate exceeding current safety specifications, and stay ahead of,or meet, new ones being implemented bythe FAA and Department of Transportation. Further, John M Restrepo conducts its operations in compliance with protocols described here inoras otherwise established bythe FAA. II. Commercial and Public Benefits;

IJohn M Restrepo, believe that granting this exemption request furthers the public interest by providing safe (by way ofan unmanned system) and efficient means to John M Restrepo client base are typically small to medium sized business' looking to increase their awareness of respective properties. Aerial videography and photography for real estate marketing has been around fora long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, but for small business owners and homeowners its expense has been cost prohibitive. Granting this exemption tothe petitioner would allow him to provide this service ata much lower cost. Further, the petitioner indicates his small UAS will pose no threat tothe public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to larger manned aircraft. The petitioner also states that the operation ofhis UAS will minimize ecological damage and promote economic growth by providing information to small businesses and individuals looking to relocate or build inthe Orlando Florida area.

By moving these functions ol).to sUAS based air craft, the potential for loss oflifeor property is diminished duetothe greater control ina smaller and safer aircraft that holds no persons. Second, there areno reactive or combustible materials on board the sUAS and thus the potential for fireor explosions is greatly diminished. Third ,the small size and extreme maneuverability of John M Restrepo UASs allow the PIC to avoid hazards. Accordingly, John M Restrepo UASs have operated and will continue to operate atand above current safety levels.

A . The costs and benefits of your proposed action to society in general and specific groups within society as described above, John M Restrepo past customers have been

small to medium business seeking Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for

real estate marketing lias been around foralong time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. For small budget real estate companies and average homeowners the expense of such aerial videography iscost prohibitive. Only large companies and high end Realtors or luxury homeowners can afford to absorb such expense. Depriving nonluxury homeowners and lower budget Realtors from a valuable marketing tool. Manned aircraft posea threat tothe public through potential catastrophic rash that the

various communities have experienced inthe past with military aircraft and medical helicopter crashes within a even cities. Each resulting inloss of life, each with combustible fuel that exploded and burned on impact. My, John M Restrepo, UAS pose no such threat since size and lack of combustible fuel alleviates any potential threat tothe public. Congress has already proclaimed thatitisinthe public's interest to integrate commercially flown UAS's into the national airspace system, hence the passing ofthe Reform Act. Granting my, John M Restrepo's, exemption request furthers the public interest through academic/visual awareness ofthe geographical benefits inand around the NW Florida area. My ultra light weight UAS is battery powered and creates no emissions that can harm the environment. The consequence ofmy ultra light weight UAS crashing isfar less thanafull size helicopter or fixed wing aircraft; which are heavy, contain combustible fuel and can cause catastrophic devastation tothe public.· Utilizing sUASs minimizes the requirement for conventional aircraft. This eliminates the need foranon board pilot, time consuming adherence to regulations surrounding bookkeeping and submission of flight paths to local civilian or military airports, and

detrimental effects tothe environment caused by operating a combustible fuel based, large scale aircraft, with restrictions onthe proximity tothe target for remote sensing. F 1 i g h t Capabilities and Characteristics of John M Restrepo UAS s Pursuant to112 P.L. 95§333 (a), concerns for public safety are mitigated bythe overall capabilities and characteristics ofthe sUAS. John M Restrepo UAS s utilizes four (4) rotating 9inch plastic propellers paired oppositely to each other for balance, control and stability. The total span ofthe sUAS isless than ""'1.2 m allowing for stable flight or landing even with

the sudden onset of detrimental environmental conditions. The sUAS's have a maximal unit+ payload mass of 11kg,including cinematic/photographic or other surveyingequipment. John M Restrepo sUAS is designed to primarily hover in place to capture photographic data and then operate at less thana35 knot maximum speed tothe next point of interest. They are capable of vertical and horizontal operations but,in practice, is operated only within VLOS bythe PIC. In addition the PIC, John Mario Restrepo isa, Florida Licensed Realtor Realtor license # SL3270953 Section 333 Exemption Petition Re: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act of2012 off and otherwise minimize pedestrian access inthe flight zone ofthe client's grounds. In the event ofloss of visual ofthe UAS, the PIC can change flight controls from cartesian (X,Y,Z) based controls to radial (r,a,h) based controls which allows the PIC to utilize one controller axis to recall the UAS tothe PIC's position without concern tothe current heading ofthe sUAS. Inthe event ofloss of sight ofthe sUAS into an area containing hazards or possible hazards, the spotter hasa heads up display containing alive video feed which can be used to locate the UAS while it maintains it's position in hover mode. The sUAS has demonstrated it's ability to maintain it's position by GPS coordinates in hover mode in25ktsor greater wind gusts atrvr less than 25 feet representing an extreme environmental condition beyond the range of conditions within the scope for sUAS operation. All of John M Restrepo sUASs utilize LiPo (lithium polymer) battery based power sources, decreasing safety risks from more easily combustible, fuel based, power sources. Flight times generally last between eight (8)toten(10) minutes allowing the staff to

work with small flight areas per phase. The maximum flight time without payload is25 minutes, however practical safe operation limits thisto10to give ample time to control the sUAS toasafe landing zone. John M Restrepo further restricts flight time bynot operating its sUASs with less than twenty five percent battery capacity. Further safety management systems in place include aGPS mode that allows John M Restrepo's sUAS to hover in place if communication with the PICislost and optionally follow asetof waypoints ataset speed and height toa 'home base' predesignated safe landing zone. In the event of UNforese-en motor(s) failure, the system will enter intoa controlled descent while allowing full use ofall UAS flight controls bythe PIC. All commands sent via remote controller received during a controlled descent are translated toan'as meant' paradigm meaning the flight control package wiJl use it's real time 3 dimensional position and compensate rotors control the sUAS regardless of spin velocity. This assures thatifone system is compensated asafe and successful landing can still occur.IV. Reasons Why an Exemption to John Mario Restrepo Will Not Adversely Affect SafetyStandards

John M Restrepo contends that operation ofit's sUASs will not "create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system orthe public:' as stated in112 P.L. 95 §333 (b). Given the diminutive size and weight of John M Restrepo sUASs, combined with their operationin cordoned off and well controlled areas, John M Restrepo sUAS falls within Congress's contemplated safety zone. John M Restrepo s UASs have an established safety record bolstered by multipoint Preflight check list, awareness of their surroundings and intimate knowledge ofthe behavior ofthe sUAS platform in many weather conditions. This safety record and implemented operational practices demonstrate an awareness of public safety. John M Restrepo' s operations routinely provide a level of safety at least equal to existing rules, andin nearly every instance, exceeds existing rules. John M Restrepo has worked very closely with the regional vendors and support for this

unitto create a tightly integrated and highly tolerant platform that has been tested thoroughly bya vendor witha proven record for safety and solid designs. John M Restrepo also continues to work closely with organization to identify and mitigate sUAS platform risk dueto their expertise in several industries closely related to the aviation and transportation. John M Restrepo does not operate its UASs onor near airports and generally has only operated its sUAS on private grounds with cordoned off areas or areas under the control ofthe property owner I client with assistance by safety officials. John M Restrepo determines the areas needed to fulfill the clients 'goals and only operates its UASs in these flight zones and only in compliance with well regarded safety protocols set forth initially bythe RC UAS trade and hobby groups.

John M Restrepo, Florida Licensed Realtor. Realtor # SL3270953 Section 333 Exemption Petition Re: Exemption Request Pursuant To Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Actof2012 John M Restrepo standardized onthe following practices to ensure safe operation ofit's UASs: • Work with onsite personnel to plan the flight goals, • Work with onsite personnel to restrict access tonon essential persons, • Operation by unaided VLOS operation only, • Operation in phases 10 minutes in length • Operation to minimal 25% battery power • Operation of device to GPS aided readout to300ftat maximum, Numerous pre programmed fail safes that ensure specific behavior per issue • Perform asite check day(s) before flight to identify potential issues, Subscribe to relevant local weather and safety alerts, • Expertly choose data collection instruments and accessories to minimize flight requirements or expertise, • John M Restrepo has experience in similar fields and has adapted this experience init's use ofUASs to increase safety. In combination tothe ever expanding knowledge repositories from hobbyist sand experts alike, John M Restrepo is constantly evolving it's practice s when there isa clear benefit to operations or increased safety element. A. SummaryPursuant to14 C.F. R. Part 11,the following summary is provided for. publication inthe Federal Register, should itbe determined that publication is needed: John Mario Restrepo {applicant) seeks an exemption from the following rules : 1 4 C.P.R. §21, subpart H; 1 4 C.F.R 45.23(b); 14 C.P.R. §§61.113( a)&(b); 91.7 (a); 91.9 (b) (2);91.1 03{b); 91.109; 91.119; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a) &(b); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a)(1);91.409(a) (2); 91.409 (a) {2) and 91.417 (a)&(b)to operate commercially a small unmanned vehicle (11 kgor less) in elevated photographic and remote sensing operations. Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operation sof sUASs inthe media

industry will enhance safety by reducing risk associated with conventional aircraft operations and other means of elevated remote sensing involving persons. The public benefit served by approval of this petition is increased awareness of characteristics of difficult imaging targets. A sUAS weighing fewer than 11kg and powered by sealed batteries eliminates virtually all associated risk inherent in operating conventional aircraft in close proximity to buildings or persons or otherwise elevating persons toa position they would be able to collect needed data. The operation of small UASs, weighing less than 55 lbs., conducted inthe strict conditions outlined above, will provide an equivalent level of safety supporting the grant ofthe exemptions requested herein, including exempting the applicant from the requirements of Part 21 and allowing commercial operations.
