Mr. Jeffrey J. Antonelli Attorney for Aerial Inspection Resources, Inc.

Antonelli Law 35 East Wacker Drive, Suite 1875 Chicago, IL 60601

Dear Mr. An tonelli:

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition for an amendment . It explains

the basis for our decision , describes its effect, and lists the revised conditions and limitations.

By letter dated June 9, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on

behalf of Aerial Inspection Resources, Inc. (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an amendment to your current exemption. That exemption from §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.11 3(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data

collection. You requested an amendment to add the DJI S800, DJI S900, and AIR Ready Copter UAS

. In the October 16 , 2015 decision letter, the FAA was unable to approve the AIR Ready Copter UAS

. The FAA is now prepared to act on that request.

The FAA has determined that go od cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this pe tition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. T he

unmanned aircraft authorized in the original grant are comparable in type, size, weight, speed and operating capabilities to those in this petition

.

Airworthiness Certification

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

− 95 in

reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation

has determined that this aircraft meets the con ditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA2

finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not nec essary.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 11467A remains valid and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority contained

in 49 U.S.C

. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, the operator is granted an amendment to add new aircraft to its UAS operations.

The operator shall add this amendment to its original exemption.

Conditions and Limitations

All conditions and limitations within Gr ant of Exemption No. 11467A remain in effect except as follows. Condition No. 1 has been updated to reflect the additional aircraft

.

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immedia te suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by th is grant of exemption are limited to the DJI S1000, DJI S900, DJI S800, and AIR Ready Copter when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption.

This exemption terminates on April 30, 2017

, unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely

, / s/

John S. Duncan Director, Flight Standards Service
