DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE PETITIONER 

Fred Scadron has founded aerial photography since 2013, a video professional with over 

10 years of video production, video post-production, and photographic experience. Fred 

Scadron has been operating its lightweight UA strictly within the United States in a 

multitude of test missions involving proof-of-principal demonstrations of precision high 

resolution aerial mapping surveys for certification purposes, .as well as a contributor to 

--Fiorida's~~somto~R:ide Magazine" requlrin~aerialfoQtag~t,>'\JiiJtfrQfDJ"l9-Jljgher_than_5() 

feet Above Ground Level ("AGL") and Fred Scadron has performed these operations 

without incident, voluntarily, and without financial compensation. Based in the Tampa Bay 

Area of Florida, Fred Scadron would now like permission to fly its UA commercially, and 

for hire, in the NAS to capture aerial video and photo imagery as well as perform high 

resolution aerial mapping surveys for data collection purposes for a multitude of 

industries. Fred Scad ron also has future plans to expand into Precision Agriculture by 

providing aerial mapping surveys for farms utilizing multi-spectral cameras to help 

farmers increase their crop yield while helping reduce farming's impact on the 

environment. Fred Scadron has been in compliance with all applicable FARs and has not 

performed aerial services for pay by any entity at any location within the United States. 

FRED SCADRON's UAS EQUIPMENT INVENTORY 

I am asking for an exemption as per 14 C.F.R. § 11.61 to operate DJJ Phantom UA for 

compensation or hire within the United States NAS. 

Fred Scadron, for now, operates two UA: 

• DJI Phantom 2 v3, professionally built to perform precision aerial mapping 

surveys utilizing its onboard DJI Ground Station hardware that is linked to and controlled 

byrunning DJI's Ground Station software application_ that is used to uplot:~d aerial . _ 

-rri~ipping pattern data to the Phantom 2 via Bluetooth transmitter; the iPad is also used to 

constantly track the UA's GPS location throughout the entire aerial mapping session and 

provides audible and visual alerts in the event any safety issues are encountered and 

provides the capability to have the UA return immediately for a safe landing. This UA has 

a First Person View ("FPV") capability allowing .the Operator to see what the UA sees via 

its on-board video camera, allowing for greater flight safety during flight operations. 

• OJI Phantom 3 Professional which carries a 4K capable Ultra High Definition FPV video 

camera and will be used 

for real estate marketing, TV/Film production, as well as high resolution aerial still 

photography. This UA can also perform precision aerial mapping surveys if needed. This 

UA also provides both audible and visual alerts if in the event any safety issues are 

encountered, this UA has the capability to have it return immediately for safe landing. 
Both UA have four counter rotating plastic propellers, both UA are gyro and GP$ 

stabilized, with both carrying a shielded electronic compass, these are three basic backup 

systems that ensure safe and stableUA operations. A fourth safetyfeature that is built-in 

to each UA is DJI's Return To Home ("RTH") safety feature, that in the event of lost 

remote control communication between the UA Operator and the UA itself, these two UA 

automatically RTH and auto-land beside the UA Operator, even if the Operator changes 

his location, the UA will go the Operator's position then land next to the Operator. A fifth 

safety feature involves battery power, that if the battery power drops below 30%, a safety 

feature is automatically invoked by each OJI Phantom that forces it to immediately 

auto-land itself safely and slowly so as to avoid sudden power loss and a resulting crash. 

So safety being in the public's interest, each UA has five safety features guaranteeing 

safe flights. Finally, each DJI Phantom Fred Scadron owns has the latest DJI software 

update that visually and audibly warns its Operator from flying into restricted airspace and 

- ~- -~ ,r, particular, prevents it from take-off alia fliQhfin Washingrofl'!tie~"airspace: ---- · 

The OJI Phantom 2 v.3 UA is powered by a 11.1 volt Lithium Polymer battery ("LiPo") that 

power each of its four electric motors, the OJI Phantom 2 has at most a 12 minute flight 

envelope and the Phantom 3 has a 15.2 volt LiPo battery with flight envelope of almost 20 

minutes. Each DJI Phantom is only capable of Vertical Take Off or landing ("VTOL") and 

do not require runways to take off or land. Each DJI Phantom weighs approximately 5 

pounds, well below the FAA's mandated 55 pound limit for commercially used UAs, and 

each UA is approximately 16 inches in width and length and stand 8 inches high with both 

being made of polymer plastic. No combustible fuel is ever used on DJI UAs, and when 

airborne, each OJI Phantom can be clearly seen because of their Red and Green flashing 

anti-collision lights, which operate automatically and continuously, during all flights and 

cannot be turned off by the UA Operator. Each OJI UA has a maximum flight speed of 35 

knots. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b) states "When marks include only the Roman capitalletter"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 than 2 

inches nor morethan·6 inches high, the words"limited," "restricted," "light-sport," 

"experimental," or "provisional," as applicable." Because UA are inherently different from 

manned aircraft, OJI UA have no cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, and have extremely 

limited surface area on which to affix 2 - 6 inch high aircraft identification numbers and 

letters, Fred Scadron requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). 

Until such time itis mandated by the FAA as to how each UAis to be appropriately 

marked with an FAA registration number, Fred Scadron's interim policy is that each of its 

UA it owns will be clearly marked with Fred Scadron's owners name, cell phone number, 

and email address so that the 

Operator and Visual Observer ("VO") as well as others who might be working with the UA, 

can see the markings. 
THE EXTENT OF RELIEF FRED SCAD RON SEEKS AND THE REASON IT SEEKS 

SUCH RELIEF: 2 

Fred Scadron submits this application in accordance with the Reform Act, 112 P.L 95 § 

331-334, seeking relief from any currently applicable FARs that prevent Fred Scadron's 

contemplated commercial and other flight operations within the NAS. The Reform Act in 

Section 332 provides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems. into our NAS 

as it is in the public's interest to do so. Fred Scadron's lightweight UA meets the 

definition of "small Unmanned Aircraft" as defined in Section 331 and therefore the 

integration of Fred Scadron's lightweight UA is in accordance with the Reform Act's 

provisions. Fred Scad ron would like to operate its lightweight UA prior to the point in time 

where the Reform Act requires the FAA to publish rules governing such craft. 

The Reform Act guides the Secretary of Transportation, who .is the FAA Administrator, in 

. _ ge_terminiog_jbeJ~es of UAJh~t rn~Y_oper~1Et_sajeJ_y~i~ ollr_o__c~!io~aJ ~jr~~~2e s~st~m. .. 

Each item listed below is in favor of Fred Scad ron as per Section 33~(afotP~L 1 t2.:gs- ·-

Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems: 

- The weight, size, speed and overall capabilities of the UAS; 

-Whether the UAS will be operated near airports or populated areas; 

-Whether the UAS will be operated by VLOS or Visual Line Of Sight during the daytime 

using VFR or Visual Flight Rules keeping below 400 feet 

AGL and utilizing a trained Visual Observer. 

Fred Scad ron's operation of its UA will not "create a hazard to users of the national 

airspace system or the public." pursuant 

to 112 P.L. 95 § 333 (b). Given the small size and weight of Fred Scadron's UA, 

combined with its operation in locations 

that have been previously reviewed by Fred Scad ron's UA Operator for safety purposes, 

Fred Scadron's UA falls 

within Congress's contemplated safety zone when it published the Reform Act and its 

corresponding directive to 

integrate UA into the national airspace system. Fred Scadron's UA and Operator have a 

positive safety record, do not pose 

any threat to the general public or national security, and ensures an equivalent level of 

safety to manned aircraft 

operations. 

2 The FAA has the authority to issue the exemption sought by Fred Scad ron pursuant to 

the Federal Aviation Act, 85 P.L. 726 (1958), 

as amended (the "Act"). 

FRED SCADRON UA Operator SAFE-FLYING CULTURE 

UA Operator, Fred Scadron, has already obtained" Small UAS Certificate of 

Registration" (UAS Certificate Number FA3NTKYTLK) and has studied extensively the 

FAA's regulations regarding UA operations: keeping well below 400 feet AGL, operate 

UA no closer than 5 miles from any airport, does not fly UA over populated areas, the 

Operator maintains Visual Line Of Sight ("VLOS"), adheres to Daytime Visual Flight Rules 
I 

·I 

("VFR"), and when necessary, utilizes a trained Visual. Observer for UA aerial operations 

when necessary. The majority of Fred Scad ron's UA operations will be performed no 

higher than 200 feet AGL. Fred Scadron's UA Operator has read and thoroughly 

understands the UA manufacturer's "safe flying" operations manual and has over 1 00 

hours of UA flight experience. No one other than a certified UA Operator will ever 

remotely control Fred Scadron's UA. Fred Scadron is also a member in good standing 

of the Academy of Model Aeronautics ("AMA") which worked closely with the FAA in 

formulating its recent Notice of Public RuJe Making ("NPRM") regarding the commercial 

use of UAS in the NAS. 

HOW FRED SCAD RON's UA OPERATIONS WILL BENEFIT THE PUBLIC 

Within the FAA's recent April 2015 NPRM regarding the commercial use of UA, the FAA 

indicated that it felt that the use of UA was far safer and in the public's interest rather than 

using full size manned aircraft for similar aerial operations. Each of Fred Scadron's UA 

-- - - -weTQrrno rnoretna1f5-po1fnds,-carry no onooatafuel,-are poweredby"a~stnl!Jie41-;-1-vo~t or 

15.2 volt LiPo battery, fly no faster than 30 knots, and have no carbon exhaust to impact 

the environment, and can perform aerial videography and photography as well as 

precision aerial mapping surveys less expensively and with greater safety than manned 

aircraft performing same duties. The average manned helicopter carries people, 

hundreds of gallons of combustible aviation fuel, and are made of metal weighing up to 2 

tons. Despite manned helicopters' exemplary safety record, if one were to fall from the 

sky, the pilot and passengers could be injured or worse, and any property below it could 

be destroyed and occupants severely injured as well. Electrically powered UA weigh 5 

pounds and are made of plastic and carry no passengers, pilot, or combustible fuel, and 

present no danger to the public below their flight operations. The use of small Unmanned 

Aircraft Systems will drastically reduce liability insurance claims since small lightweight 

UA will be performing many of the same aerial film, video, and photographic duties, once 

perforr'ned by full size manned aircraft in a safer, more controlled environment. 

Whereas manned aircraft, both fixed wing and rotary wing, cannot not fly lower than 500 

feet AGL over populated areas, except for rotary wing aircraft who may fly below 500 feet 

AGL in special situations when approved by the FAA and local Air Traffic Control ("ATC"}, 

Fred Scadron's UA, on the other hand, will fly no higher than 200 feet AGL and as such, 

will clearly be in the public's interest that small ligntweight Unmanned Aircraft Systems be 

permitted to fly commercially in the NAS to perform duties that were once only possible 

with manned aircraft. 

America has always been a front runner in the sciences, computer technology, and 

innovation. Other countries have already instituted commercial UA operations into their 

NAS such as the EU and Canada, and now they are reaping the educational, 

technological, and financial benefits, that UA are bringing to their businesses, industries, 

governments, agriculture and society as a whole. The United States needs to allow small 

companies or individuals like Fred Scad ron to operate commercially so that it, like m~my 

other small companies or indivual utilizing UA, can provide jobs and competition that 

challenge larger corporate entities who have taken the lead in the proposed use of UA 

commercially and small companies and/or indivuallike Fred Scadron can be part of and 
contribute to the phenomenal grQwth this technological revolution in small lightweight UA 

that are being used commercially all over the world, this change needs to happen in our 

NAS sooner rather than later. 

DETAILED LIST OF FRED SCADRON's REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION FROM FARs 

REGARDING THE COMMERCIAL USE OF UAS FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES 

14 C.F.R. § 11.61 Fred Scadron respectfull.y requests the FAA to adopt, amend, or 

repeal regulations, or grant relief from the requirements of current regulations, regarding 

the commercial use of small, lightweight, UA in the NAS. 

14 C.F.R. 21, subpart H In regards to Standard airworthiness certificates which are 

airworthiness certificates issued for manned aircraft type certificated in the normal, utility, 

acrobatic, commuter, or transport category, and for manned free balloons; and for aircraft 

,. - - -~ ~ ... ---<.fesig.n~t~~sspecial~classeso.f-air:craft.,~sets-forth,requireroegtsJ.or~-~- ·····--·· 

procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR§ 91.203(a)(1). 

The size, weight and enclosed operational area of Fred Scad ron's UA permits 

exemption from Part 21 because Fred Scadron's UA meet an equivalent level of safety 

pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from 

the airworthiness certification requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 (f)) and 

Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UA 

from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, 

maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. Fred 

Scad ron's UA meet or exceed each of the elements. 

I 

'I 

14 C.F.R. 45.23(b) in regards to Marking The Aircraft, applicable Codes of Federal 

Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to certain specifications. Fred 

Scadron's UA are, by definition, unmanned. They therefore do not have a cabin, cockpit 

or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Such small aircraft have almost 

no surface area on which to place such markings. Regardless, Fred Scad ron will mark its 

UA in the largest possible lettering showing Fred Scadron's owner's name, phone 

number, and email address, so that the Operator and Visual Observer as well as others 

working with the UA can see the markings. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to 

this regulation through Exemptions Nos, 8738, 10167, 10167A and 10700. 

14 C.F.R. § 61.113 (a)(b) Since small lightweight UA are incapable of carrying 

passengers or Pilot In Charge ("PIC"), Fred Scadron requests exemption from the 

requirement of a private pilot certificate for Pilot In Command. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.7 (a) Prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness 

certificate as to its airworthiness condition, and as such, UA are. not civil aircraft, carry no 

passengers or pilot and such a certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by 

the FARs in regards to manned aircraft, but this regulation is inapplicable in as far as 

small unmanned aircraft like the ones Fred Scad ron will be using, in that respect, Fred 

Scadron requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2) & (c) Requires an aircraft flight manual in and onboard the aircraft. 
Given the small size of Fred Scadron's UA, there is no room for a pilot, no cockpit is 

available, or space within the UA in which to store a flight manual, so this requirement is 

inapplicable and Fred Scadron requests exemption from this regulation. An equivalent 

level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a manual at Fred Scad ron's business 

location. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 

8607, 8737, 8738,9299, 9299A, 9565,95658, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700 and 32827. 

Fred Scadron requests relieffrom 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2) & (c) because of previously 

requested relief from C.F.R. 45.23(b) in regards to proper markings of Aircraft 

Identification Numbers as in regards to the size limitations that is inherent with small 

unmanned aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.1 03(b) As UA are strictly Vertical Takeoff Or Landing ("VTOL") and require 

no runways or airport elevation to be concerned with, and taking into consideration that 

UA with a gross weight of 5 po~mds or less require very little physical space in which to 

- -- '--cc--- ·-- · ·-tatrncna~--tfA;this -requirement is'inapplicabte and Fred-~eadron~uests-- -- - - -- ----~- -

exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.109 (a) Small, lightweight, UA are not manned, therefore the FAA 

requirement that dual flight controls for instructional purposes be available is inapplicable, 

Fred Scadron requests exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.F.R. § 61.113 (a) & (b), in regards to Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations, private 

pilots are limited to non-commercial operations. A private pilot's license or even a sport 

pilot's license could be helpful but will not ensure UA remote control piloting skills, though 

Fred Scadr<>n's current UA training will and do ensure UA remote control piloting skills. 

The potential risks associated with Fred Scadron's UA aerial operations is far less than 

what is inherent with manned commercial aviation activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61. 

14 C.F .R. § 91.119 Refers to Minimum Safe Altitudes which stipulates what safe 

altitudes for civilian rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft are, and be no lower than 500 feet 

AGL, but allows manned helicopters to be flown at lower altitudes over specific locations 

with clearance from local Air Traffic Control ("ATC"). Fred Scad ron's UA will never fly 

higher than 400 feet AGL, but will, however, operate its UA in specifically designated 

areas that were previously reviewed for any pgtential safety issues and then cleared for 

flights which will be well within minimum safe altitudes of 200 feet AGL or less. Fred 

Scadron's UA, flown at such minimum safe altitudes, will be able to land quickly and 

safely in such a way as to be at a higher level of safety than that which could be achieved 

by manned aircraft in similar situations and in that regard, Fred Scadron's UA will pose 

no danger to the public or national security. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.121 Regards altimeter settings for manned aircraft, which in the case of 

small UAS, this is inapplicable as there is no pilot onboard to monitor a physical altimeter 

gauge. Fred Scadron's UA automatically take into account their immediate altitude in 

regards to Mean Sea Level Pressure ("MSLP") via on board barometric pressure device 

which automatically "tells" the UA how high it is flying above MSL and exactly the altitude 

of Ground Level below it and this data is relayed to the UA Operator via On Screen 

Display ("OSD") through the UAS's First Person View ("FPV") video relay the UA 

'''t
1' 

Operator can see on his video monitor constantly. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a) & (b) In part states, "No person can flyunderVFR conditions unless 

there's enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to [be able} to continue 

flying 20 minutes after that." This regulation is in regards to manned aircraft being used to 

transport the pilot and/or passengers to the first intended landing point, with a 20 minute 

fuel reserve. Fred Scadron requests exemption from this regulation as its UA will not 

have a pilot onboard, no passengers, and will not be flying to another location and then 

land for any reason. Fred Scadron's small· unmanned aircraft will only fly to shoot videos 

or photos of a specific location or perform aerial mapping surveys of a specific area, and 

then will land back with the UA Operator; there never will be a need for either UA to fly to 

an "intended landing point" for transportation reasons. Each of Fred Scadron's UA are 

capable of only 12 minutes and 20 minutes of flight respectively, therefore the regulation's 

latter requirement that once an aircraft flies to its first point of intended landing and have - - -tm0tl~1lretto ny-2(:rmuremtnutes, is-inapplicabie-: ~ -- -- ·· ~ =- ~· -~'"~~ ---- ---

14 C.F.R. § 91.203(a) and (b) as per Fred Scadron's previous request for exemption 

from 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b), the requirement that a registration number be 

on the UA's fuselage and an airworthiness certificate be affixed near the UA's cockpit, 

small unmanned aircraft do not have a fuselage nor a cockpit, therefore this regulation 

that is not applicable. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.405 (a), 14 C.F.R. § 91.407 (a)(1), 14 C.F.R. § 91.417 (a) & (b) 

Maintenance regulations require aircraft owners and Operators to "have [the] aircraft 

inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, 

except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as 

prescribed in part 43 of this chapter .... "These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an 

airworthiness certificate and do not apply to Fred Scadron should its requested 

exemption be granted. Fred Scadron has proven maintenance program that involves 

constant software updates from the UA manufacturer's website and fixes any damage 

that may occur to the UA itself by utilizing the repair services of an authorized UA repair 

facility and if any, such repairs will be fixed immediately and documented, thus attaining 

an equivalent level of safety as that of manned aircraft. Fred Scadron requests 

exemption from this regulation. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a)(1) & (2) regulation states: "No person may operate an aircraft 

unless, within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has had and annual inspection ... by a 

person authorized by 43.7 of this chapter ... An inspection for the issuance of an 

airworthiness certificate in accordance with part 21 of this chapter.'' In an previous request 

noted above, Fred Scadron requests relief of and exemption from.14 C.F.R. 21, subpart 

H, an action that would negate the need for 14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a)(1) & (2). 

CONCLUSION 

Giving Fred Scad ron these exemptions will allow it to. commence commercial operations 

under the control of an experienced UAS Operator with a decade of video and film 

production experience, whose first priority is keeping safety at the forefront of all aerial 

operations and has profit taking a back seat to all other considerations. Being that battery 
I 

, I 

powered UA are inherently safe as compared to the use of full~size manned rotary wing 

and fixed wing aircraft performing similar functions of obtaining aerial video and 

photographic imagery as well as aerial mapping, the use of small, lightweight, Unmanned 

Aircraft Systems for these tasks makes the most sense and greatly increases public 

safety, which is at its heart, in the public's interest. Fred Scadron operates mostly at 

minimum flight altitudes and rarely needs to ascend to a maximum of 400 feet AGL Fred 

Scad ron will maintain a flight log of all flights, maintain a record of any maintenance 

repairs and upgrades, and will always adhere to all FAA rules and regulations pertaining 

to the use of UA in the NAS. 

Finally, I would like to note that on the FAA's website published a "News Update" titled: 

"FAA Streamlines UAS COAs for Section 333", which can be viewed at this link [ 

http://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsld=82245] and this FAA article states 

specifically: 

"Section 333 exemption holders will automatically receive a "blanket" 200 foot COA. For 

new exemption holders, the FAA will issue a COA at the time the exemption is approved. 

Anyone who wants to fly outside the blanket parameters must obtain a separate COA 

specific to the airspace required for that operation." 

Fred Scad ron respectfully requests that the FAA grant its exemption request without 

delay as well as provide it the required COA once its exemption is granted. , 

Thank you for taking Fred Scadron into consideration in exempting it from FARs 

regarding commercial use of UAS in the United States NAS.
