The DJI UASs systems consist of lightweight battery operated aircrafts, an integrated state of the art ground station system and communications equipment. The aircrafts carry an onboard high resolution camera (with first person view) that allows us to conduct precision aerial photography and video. This technology will assist the Pilot in Commands (PIC) in providingthe upmost safety procedures and the public will benefitfrom these services. CVAS services will help the commercial industry and not bring harm to any person in the air or on the ground. Kyle Falwell, The co-owner of CVAS is an ATP pilot with Type ratings in the CE 500 and CE525 aircraft. Kyle will personally oversea all operations ofsafety. His extensive aviation background will on aid in the safety ofall CVAS operations. The aircrafts ofCVAS will be operated in the field ofviewwith both a PIC and aground-based Visual Observer (VO) in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" with thefollowing additional restrictions:

• All operations will occur in Class Gairspace (below

### 400' AGL) • Operations will be operated over private property, commercial property, or property (notfederal or state) with permission ofthe land owner • The aircraft will not operate within SNM ofany airport or heliport (unless wellcoordinated with the FAA and airport/heliport (detailed flight plans)) • Operations will be limited to day, visual meteorological conditions • Aircraft will remain within Visual Line ofSign at no greaterthat X NM ofthe PIC at all times • Whilethe aircraft is airborne, theVO will be positioned within voice distance to the PIC The PIC and VO will meetthe requirements outlined in FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 16 Personnel Qualifications. Additionally, the PIC and VO will perform maintenance on the system and will complete all necessary maintenance set forth bythe FAA or manufacturer. We submitthatthe combination ofthe aircrafts light weight historically demonstrated flight performance, fully qualified flight crew and strict operation underthe guidelines established in 8900.227, the FAA can have confidence thatthe operation will have an equivalent orgreater level ofsafetyof manned aircraft performing similar operations. CVAS is dedicated to safety and believes the company will not bring any harm to the public (air or ground). Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs): 

### UserManuals are attached CVAS proposes to operate the DJI UASs Phantom 

### 2, Phantom 

### 2+, and the Inspire 1. The petitioner states that given the size, weight, speed and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the applicant, an exemption from 14CFR Part 21, Subpart H 21Page(Airworthiness Certificates}, subject to certain conditions and limitations, is warranted and meetsthe requirements for an equivalent level ofsafety under 14 CFR Part 11 and Section 333 of P.L. 112-95 (Section 333}. The petitionerfurther states that UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate in the limited environment and underthe conditions and limitations proposed by the petitionerwill be at least as safe, or safer, than aconventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificated issued under 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H and not subject to the proposed conditions and limitations. The petitionerstates thatthe unmanned aircraft (UA} to be operated under this request is a rotary-wing aircraft, with the smallest aircraft weighing 2.5 lbs (largest weighing 7.6 lbs) fully loaded, flies at a maximum speed of29 knots (not recommended}, carries neither a pilot nor passengers, carries no flammable fuels, and operates exclusively within a pre-disclosed area. Operations underthis exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both the operator, spotter, and local public safety requirements. DJI Aircraft Specs:

### Note: We only operate with 100% line of sightto theAircraft (we do notlose visual oftheaircraft) First Person View: Yes UAS Pilot In Command The petitioner asserts that operations ofthe DJI should not be required to hold a commercial or private pilot certificate. However I ChiefSafety Officer does. The petitioner notes that unlike a conventional aircraftthat carries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, the DJI UASs are remotely controlled with no passengers or property ofothers on board. The petitioner proposes that operator requirements should take into account the characteristics ofthe particular UAS. The petitioner states that the DJI UASs have high degree of pre-programmed control and various built-in technical capabilities that strictly limitthe potential for operation outside ofthe operating conditions set forth in its petition for exemption. CVAS will not allowthe PIC to fly any aircraft without at least 40 hours oftraining flight time with the exact aircraft used forthe business. The company has several private testing areas that are in a remote location with no vertical obstructions. This allows the PICs for CVAS to test all the systems and understand fail safe features to the fullest extent before conducting business with the UAS. PICs and VOs for Central Virginia Aerial Solutions, LLC Kyle Falwell, Managing Member: (434) 851-1992 Connor Burke, Member: (434)258-5361 CVAS's PICs are well versed in all the safetyfeatures on the DJI aircrafts. They have spent countless hours perfectingthe pre-flight, flight, and postflight procedures. CVAS's PICs can perform all necessary maintenance on the DJI aircrafts and iffor some reason they are not able to fix aircraftto safety specifications, theywill seek assistance with the strict parameters ofthe FAA and the DJI Flight Operational Manuals (Attached tothe request).

Checkthe battery pins and rub them clean with an eraser ifany residue is observed. This will help to ensure a more reliable connection. 3. Check the metal battery power connectors for damage. Ifthe connectors appear burnt, try to clearthem. This can be done by inserting a piece ofsandpaper (1 mm thick) into the connectors to polish the metal. 4. Checkthe contact pins in the battery compartmentto ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able to establish easy contactwith the battery connectors and should not be bent. 5. Check the electrodes on the battery. Ifthey appear burnt, polish them with sandpaper. Ifthere is serious erosion, send the battery in for repairs. 6. Checkthe plastic components ofthe battery bracketto see it is in good condition and that all screws are secure. This prevents the battery from becoming loose during flight. 7. Checkthe power cables between the arms and the center plate, ifthe cables are worn, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 8. For long term storage, please referto the "Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the battery once a month to prevent the battery cell from being damaged. 9. Run the DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells are at similarvoltage levels and stay at the same level when the battery is fully charged. Ifall cells maintain voltage levels above 3.7V but any cell is 0.2V higher or lower than the others, contact DJI for analysis. You can also checkthe battery cell warning history. Ifanywarning are reported, contact DJI. II. Checking the Transformation System 1. Check the servomotor cables forwear. Also confirm thatthe connection points are still in good condition. 2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Supportto arrange repairs ifany bending or damage is discovered. Clean the lead screws with WD-40 spray ifthey show signs of rust. 3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation, ifthere is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the servomotors worn. 4. Afterthe landing gear rises, check the lead screws and bearings. Ifany dirt or dust is found, clean and grease thebearings. 5. Check the lead screws. Ifthere is any scratches, dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact DJI Support to arrange repairs. Ill. Checking the Aircraft 1. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately tightened. 2. Checkthe aircraftfor breaks ordamage. Ifthere is any reason to believe that detectable damage might affect flight safety, consult with DJI Support. 3. Check the carbon tubes ofthe arms for damage. 4. Check the dampers on the landing gears. Ifthey are loose, secure them with 502 glue. 5. Ensure thatthere are no obstacles on or around the GPS module or around the antennas on the landing gear.

If any irregularity is detected, replace the fan. VII. Checking the Control and Video Transmission System1. Checkthe 4 antennas on the landing gearto ensure that they are secure. Also check for any bending or damage.

2. Checkthe antennas ofthe remote controller for damage 3. Checkthe neck strap for damage orwear, replace if necessary. VIII. Checking the Gimbal and Camera 1. The quick-mount connectorfor the camera is a particularlyvulnerable component. Ifthe gimbal fails to initialize when turned on, fails to work after initialization, orfails to transmit video to the app (while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount connector may be worn. In this case, replace the rubber mat, circuit board, and/or connector on the gimbal quick-mount. 2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount connector board, ifany contact is bent, replace the quick-mount connector. 3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount connector board, ifthere is any dirt, rub it clean with an eraser. Ifany contact pins are worn out it should be replaced. 4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize itself. Ifits stabilizing performance deteriorates, contact DJI to arrange repairs. 5. Listen for any abnormal noise from the fan when the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual vibration and the fan should be replaced. IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 1. Check the lens ofthe camera. Ifany dirt or residue is detected, gently clean the lens. 2. Check for and remove objects that might block the sensors. 3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely installed on the aircraft. 4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is active, the Vision Positioning System should function normally.
