**Petition	for	Section	333	Exemption** I	hereby	formally	reque st	FAA	authorization	for	Mathew	A.	Cook

- dba/ Cook	Creative	Studios	(hereafter	“PETITIONER”)	to	operate	a	UAS	for civil	(non

- governmental)	purposes	other	than	for	recreation	or	hobby. PETITIONER	requests	to	be	exempted	from 14	CFR	§§	61.23(a)	and	(c), 6 1.101(e)(4)	and	(5),	61.113(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),	to	the	extent	necessary	to	allow	PETITIONER	to operate	a	UAS	to	perform	aerial	data	collection,	to	in clude,	but	not limited	to	aerial	photography	and	videography. PETITIONER	requests	this	exemption	for	its	use	of	UAS	both	within	and without	the	United	States. PETITIONER	occasionally	travels	abroad	for photographic	endeavors	and	seeks	to	use	UAS	in	acc ordance	with	all laws	of	foreign	and	domestic	governmental	authorities. PETITIONER	requests	this	permission	to	pursue	its	use	of	UAS	models, my	current	model	is	a	DJI	Phantom	3	Professional	(serial	# P77DCG08016902),	or	other	similar	commercially

- availabl e	and	widely

available	UAS	models.	PETITIONER	currently	has	registered	with	the FAA.	(UAS	certificate	#:	FA3LFRW9KA) PETITIONER	will	conduct	its	use	of	UAS	in	a	professional	and	cautious manner	which	will	minimize	risk	to	the	NAS,	any	other	people,	as	wel l	as commercial	and	private	property. The	following	procedures	will	be followed:	(1)	UAS	will	be	given	a	pre

- flight	inspection	before	each	flightto	examine	airworthiness,	(2)	UAS	will	not	be	materially	altered	from

commercial	specifications	except	for	battery,	prop,	and	battery alterations,	(3)	UAS	will	not	be	flown	over	people,	(4)	UAS	will	always	be flown	within	line	of	sight	to	operator(s)	pursuant	to	Section	333(b)(1), (5)	UAS	will	never	reach	altitudes	over	exceeding	those	allowed,	(6)	UAS will	never reach	speeds	exceeding	50	mph,	(7)	operator	will	perform	a preflight	visual	inspection	of	the	NAS	to	determine	nearby	dangers	such as	low

- flying	manned	or	unmanned	aerial	vehicles,	power	lines,	and buildings,	(8)	UAS	will	be	checked	for	flight	stability, proper	connection to	remote	control,	and	proper	performance	at	a	very	low	altitude	before reaching	the	NAS,	and	(9)	non

- participating	spectators	will	be	asked	to stay	a	safe	distance	away	from	the	flight	path	of	the	UAS	and	its	landing location. PETITIONE R	is	an	experienced	operator	with	well	over	one year	of	experience	flying	UAS	for	enjoyment/recreational	purposes.		In addition	the	UAS	model	(DJI	Phantom	3	Professional)	has	special	safety features	which	will	protect	people	and	property	in	case	of	loss	of contact with	remote	control,	loss	of	signal	to	GPS	satellites,	as	well	as	aircraft running	low	on	battery	power. I	believe	this	petition	would	benefit	public	interest.	PETITIONER	works with	local	City	and	County	Government	Agencies,	their	Committees	and Historical	Boards	to	take	high	quality	still	photographs	and	digital	video Public	Buildings	and	Grounds	for	prosperity	and	the	enjoyment	of	future generations. PETITIONER	will	provide	imagery	which	is	not	otherwise possible	to	be	captured	without	the	use of	a	UAV,	which	will	assist companies	to	which	the	images	may	be	sold,	will	enhance	the	public understanding	of	nature	photographed	by	the	UAS,	and	PETITIONER	will be	able	to	provide	UAS	safety	information	and	guidance	to	those	with whom	he	or	she	comes	i n	contact.	Also	PETITIONER	will	be	able	to	safely obtain	structural	data	to	damaged	roofs,	buildings,	or	other	structures unsafe	or	difficult	to	reach	without	a	UAS. I	would	humbly	ask	you	to	grant	this	requested	exemption	under	Section 333. Thanks	for	your	time	and	the	service	you	provide.	Have	a	wonderful	day,Mathew	A.	Cook
