Aircraft description:

We, Elevated Perspective Media ( E PM ) , fly:

Aircraft 1:

A multir otor sUAS with 8 propellers using a SkyJ ib 8 Ti

- QR frame controlled by a DJI A2 flight

contro ller. The Aircraft is 1160mm in diameter and with the landing gear deployed the height is 18”. The flight controller uses GPS for geofencing and failsafes to insure safety at all times.
We use a Zenmuse Z 15 gimbal that carries a B lack M agic pocket camer a. The total take off weight of the s UAS is 22.47 lbs. The lift capacity of the s UAS is 47.52 lbs. This gives us a 2:1 safety ratio. Detailed information has been attached.

Aircraft 2:

A multirotor sUAS with 8 propellers using a Vulcan frame controll ed by a DJI A 2 flight controller . The Aircraft is 1100mm in diameter and with the landin g gear deployed the height
is 22 ”. The aircraft uses GPS for geofencing and failsafes to insure safety at all times. We use a
M ovi M15 gimbal that carries a payload o f 15lbs . The total possible take off weight of the s UAS
is 37lbs with a lift capacity of 129.9lbs. This gives us a 3.5:1 safety ratio. Detailed information has been attached.2

Provide information regarding the radio frequency spectrum. This information can be located in the aircraft manual.

The radio frequency that we use is 2.4 GHz for both our Futaba and Spektrum radios.

All of our video transmission takes place over 5.1

- 5.8 GHz.3

As for the operation of the sUAS ; to ensure safety the following pre

- flight saf ety checklist will be performed by crew and overseen by operator:

- Verify permission given by appropriate authorities and participants

- Health

o Operator will observe and certify their own personal health and the participating crew for safe operation. This will continue through out the shooting schedule.

- Frame inspection

o Condition of components

o Fasteners are present and correctly tightened

- Motors and Props

o Bearings move without hindrance

o Shafts are straight

o Props are balanced and tightened

- Batteries

o Using a balanced voltage checker all batteries will be checked for current level of charge to assure maximum safe flight times

o Batteries will be physically inspected for damages

o Fastened securely to the aircraft

o A secon dary voltage detector will be attached and can warn in the case of depletion

- Transmitters

o Charged

o Verify communication with flight controller

- Flight Controller

o GPS calibrated

o LEDs are showing the appropriate light sequences

- Gimbal

o Secured properly

- Orientation LEDs

o Functioning properly

- Communication

o Operator and pertinent crew will check that appropriate communication is established and working correctly for the specific location.

- Take off and landing area

o Appropriately removed from air traffic areas and high security zones

o NOTAMs have been reviewed

o Weather reports have been reviewed. Sunrise and sunset times are known

o Area is clear of and secured from any unnecessary people, animals, and objects

o The aircraft is level

o The ground is free from debris w ith the potential to harm individuals, aircraft, or objects

o Free of overhead obstructions

o In the even of a return

- to

- land failsafe procedure the takeoff zone is a valid option for landing

- A briefing between the Operator , visual observer and the camera man will contain information on the flight path, safety procedures and communications check.

- T he operator will obtain the consent of all persons involved in the f light.

- The Operator will perform a test flight in a small area to ensure proper flight control an d system checks4

Describe the process used to document UAS discrepancies and the corrective action taken in the
aircraft record. Examples of processes include (1) the petitioner has elected to use its own process to maintain its UAS and ensure that only airworthy and safe UAS will be allowed to operate in the NAS and (2) the petitioner has elected to maintain its UAS in accordance with the manufacturer
maintenance and inspection recommendations:

As provided in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) , the ope rator will ensure that the sUAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any maintenance performed. We also keep a daily flight log showing maintenance, weather and more efficient safety procedures. The operator is most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator following the manufacturers’ guidelines

. We will achieve a level of safety appropriate (risk mitigation) for our sUAS to enter in to the National Air Space ( NAS. ) D ue to the small size of the s UAS , its limited number of components, and how easily accessibly all parts pertinent to safety are; strict adherence to the maintenance provisions provided by the manufacturer will suffice. We, EPM, have safety as the number one issue involving sUAS . We are constantly monitoring for new ways and more efficient ways of using sUAS safely in the NAS. If mechanical issues aris e or there is a loss of positive control, the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higher than 400 feet above ground level ( AGL. )

In addition, EPM operators will cede right of way to any and all aircraft in the NAS.5
