Exemption No. 11483 Regulatory Docket No. FAA–2015–0282 Mr. William E. Lord Maine HDTV P.O. Box 7297 Cape Porpoise, ME 04014 Dear Mr. Lord: This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. By letter dated January 31, 2015, you petitionedthe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Maine HDTV (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an exemption. The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct residential and commercial aerial photography. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption. The FAA has determined that good cause existsfor not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition wouldbe detrimental to the petitioner.

Airworthiness Certification The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+. The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H—Airworthiness Certificates. In accordance with the statutory criteria

## 2 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 conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that therequested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification proceduresfor products and parts, Subpart H—Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary. The Basis for Our Decision You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (seeDocket No. FAA

−2014

−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. (seeDocket No. FAA

−2014

−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see Docket No. FAA

−2014

−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (seeDocket No. FAA

−2014

−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that—

 They are similar in all material respects torelief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213;
 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and
 A grant of exemption is in the public interest. Our Decision In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is inthe public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Maine HDTVis granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(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 the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below. Conditions and Limitations In this grant of exemption, Maine HDTV ishereafter referred to as the operator.

## 3 Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption. 1. Operations authorized by this grant ofexemption are limited to the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ when weighing less than 55 poundsincluding payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption. 2. Operations for the purpose of closed-set motion picture and television filming are not permitted. 3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximumUA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL. 5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to usehuman vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’sFAA-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver’s license. 6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be ableto communicate verbally at all times; electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO. 7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this grant of exemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists betweenthe conditions and limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The

## 4 operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS

−80) may be contacted ifquestions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that aff ect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. Functional test flights may only be conductedby a PIC with a VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. 10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. 11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limitrequirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. 12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer safety bulletins. 13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or avalid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC must also meet the f light review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. 14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency mustbe logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs

## 5 (training, proficiency, and experience-building) and determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119. 15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions(VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA must return to a pre-determined location within the private or controlled-access property. 19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a f light unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater. 21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO-issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA. 22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N

−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable.

## 6 23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of theUAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available tothe Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures arepresent that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and b. The owner/controller of anyvessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects andthe PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating personsunder this exemption. 27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 28. Any incident, accident, or flight operationthat transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as definedby the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS

−80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site:www.ntsb.gov

. If this exemption permits operations for the purpose of closed-set motion picture and television filming and production, the following additional conditions and limitations apply. 29. The operator must have a motion picture and television operations manual (MPTOM) as documented in this grant of exemption.

## 7 30. At least 3 days before aerial filming,the operator of the UAS affected by this exemption must submit a written Plan ofActivities to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming. The 3-day notification may be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of activities must include at least the following:

a. Dates and times for all flights; b. Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under this grant of exemption; c. Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on-scene operation of the UAS; d. Make, model, and serial or N

−Number of UAS to be used; e. Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming; f. A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon request; g. Signature of exemption holder or representative; and h. A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the operation. 31. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be involved and necessary forthe filming production, as specified in the exemption holder’s MPTOM. Unless otherwise specified inthis grant of exemption, theUAS, the UAS PIC, and the UAS operations must comply with all applicable parts of 14 CFR including, but not limited to, parts 45, 47, 61, and 91.

## Overview: I, William Lord, of 189 Mills Road in Kennebunkport, Maine 04046 (Mail: PO Box 7297, Cape Porpoise, ME 04014) hereby petition the FAA for an exemption from various sections of49 USC of Federal Aviation Regulations. I am associated with Maine HDTV of2 Shore Road, Biddeford, ME 04005, and will be the Pilot in Charge ofany aerial photography, following approval ofthis request. Pursuantto Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, Public Law 112-95, I request certain exemptions in orderto conduct residential and commercial aerial photography (henceforth meaning still and/orvideo) using a small Unmanned Aircraft System-the Phantom 2Vision+. The aircraft consists offour de motors with rotors, powered by a Lithium battery and managed by an on board flight control system that is remotely accessed bythe Pilot in Charge using a portable control unit. The remote control unit is awireless communication device using the 5.8GHz frequency band. Real-time viewing ofthe on board camera is enabled through aWi-Fi video link within the 2.4GHz frequency band. Both frequencies are approved bythe FCC for limited-range communication purposes. The Phantom 2Vision+ (known as 'Phantom' forthis request) has a maximum payload ofless than three pounds including the camera (1350 grams or 2.976 poundsL has a maximum forward speed of29.16 knots (not recommended by the manufacturer-Iwould flyfrom 0-15 knots) and is managed by a sophisticated GPS control system that assures a Return To Home (RTH) procedure in the event of Loss ofSignal (LOS). That same system can set maximum height and distance so the UA does not exceed preferred parameters. In addition, the control system has a No Fly Zone feature that will preventtakeofffrom within Controlled/Restricted Airspace and warn the PIC ofan impending intrusion when in flight. The manufacturer, DJI, regularly updates software and firmware. The latest versions, includingthe addition ofthe Washington, DC area No-Fly Zones, have been updated to include a25km radius in Washington, DC (Attachment #1- Phantom Vision+ ManuatJanuary 30, 2915 ***Attachment#2- Phantom 2 Release Notes) I, William Lord, will use the UAS in daytime onlyto enhance real estate marketingfor Realtors in theYork Country, Southern Maine area (Scarborough to Kittery)- showingviews of properties currently unattainable by still oraviation photography and will workwith local nonprofitsto enhance their missions- including, but not limited

# to, the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust and the Kennebunkport Fire Department. Iwill operate the quad-copter is a safe manner, using thefollowing pre-flight check list and operating procedures to determinethatthe aircraft is physically and electronically ready for safe flight and that permission from the property owner/representative is received:

2

## Pre-flight Checklist:

• If required, notifythe appropriate FAA facility ofour launch schedule and location. • Survey the propertyfor hazards- 

## trees, utility poles and other elements that might compromise the flight, then make ajudgment as to whetherto proceed. • Check the weatherfor wind speed, cloud cover and any forecast changes that might adversely affectflight safety and performance. • Examine the aircraft- looking at connections and searching for cracks and loose parts. • Determinethatthe electronic elements are performing correctly (receiving morethan 6 GPS signals along with calibration ofthe magnetic compass) • Determine thatthe barometric altimeter reflects approximately 0 feet AGL. • Following takeoff, Iwill hover at an altitude ofapproximately 10 feetto assure thatthe Home Point is solid. • Iwill then exercise all controls to confirm theirfunctionality- ifone ofthe controls is notfunctioning, the flight will be terminated immediately. • Iwill fly onlywith aVisual Observer (VO) at my side who will double check for possible flight hazards. The VO will provide asecond pair ofeyes to assist the PIC in keeping the Phantom within Visual Line ofSight (VLOS). The VO has many years ofexperience in helicopter-borne photography in the Atlanta area. He will also assist in any emergency maneuvers due to unanticipated events that require aquick landing. Since purchasing the Phantom 2 and Phantom 2Vision+, all training and skill improvementflights have been with the same VO. • Iwill notfly over dense traffic orcrowds. • Iwill give right-of-wayto any manned aircraft. • Iwill stay clear of FAA controlled airspace at airports (generally afive nautical mile radius) as well as restricted and prohibited zones. • Iwill fly no higherthan 

## 400' and no furtherthan 

## 1000'from the Home Point, recognizing that the primary responsibility is to safely keep the aircraft safely within VLOS. • Iwill stay clear ofclouds and fog 

## (500' vertically and 

## 2,000' horizontally). • Iwill perform a post-flight check ofthe Phantom to determine its physical and electronic condition. 

## Operating Procedures:

• After receiving permission from the property owner or representative, Iwill notify abutting property owners ofour intensions and anticipated time on site. • I will notfly over neighboring properties unless permission is granted. • I will keep individuals not involved in the flight at a safe distance (500 feet if practical). • I will post a sign stating: 11

## Take Notice" 11

## Aerial Photography UnderWay- Stay Clear 11 

## (Attachment #3)

3

## Altitude, distance from the PIC, airspeed and battery state-of-charge are data constantly viewable in the control monitor (a smart phone) which is the Phantom's equivalent ofan aircraft's control panel. I maintain thatthe above checklist and procedures will minimize risks to property and persons on the ground as well as other aircraft in the National Air Space. Atthis writing, I have practiced extensively in the Phantom 2 and the Phantom 2Vision+, accumulating 17:54offlight time in the Phantom 2 and 5:15 hours in the Phantom 2Vision+ (as ofthis writing). I continue to add flying hours to my Phantom 2Vision+ log. I have exercised all functions in both aircraft and fly only when weather conditions allow. I have private pilot license #1613052 issued in November 

## 10, 1964 (Attachment #4). The license requires updating as the address is outdated. Iwill reacquire my 3rct 

## class medical certificate. I am fully aware ofVFR flight rules. The serial numberof my Phantom 2Vision+ is: PH645465564 and Iwill markthe aircraft with whatever 'N' numberthe FAA requires. 

## Exemption Requests: I respectfully request exemption from thefollowing regulations with which I cannot fully comply. 14CFR Part 21 Airworthiness Certification Subpart H 

## "prescribes the procedural requirements for issuing and changing design approval, production approval, airworthiness certificates and airworthiness approval." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 11) Response: 

## "The Secretary ofTransportation has determined thatthis aircraft meets the conditions ofSection 333. 

## Therefore, the FAA finds thatthe requested relieffrom 14 CFR part 

## 21, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 

## 36, is not necessary." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 11 Part 61 (a)(b) Parts, General Operating and Flight Rules 

## (a) Prescribes the requirements for issuing pilot licenses and the privileges and limitations associated with various ratings. (b) Aeronautical experience means pilottime, flight simulator orflight training device for meetingthe appropriatetraining and flighttime requirementsfor an airman certificate. Response: 

## Organized orcommercially available FAA-approved flighttraining has yetto be achieved bythe UA industry. While I have regularly used aflight simulator on my computer, those skills are generally nottransferable to quad-copter operation. My sources oftraining are: the Flight Instruction Manual from DJI (Attachment #1); online videos from the manufacturer as well as videos from users; and most importantly,
4

## personal training in a secure location- an open area not subject totraffic and/or uninvolved individuals. Those trainingflights, which have averaged 10-15 minutes each, deal with setup, physical and electronic safety checks; lift offfollowed by hovering at approximately 10 feet to confirm that the GPS system is functioning properly and has registered its Home Point; a prescribed flight plan tofamiliarize and then masterthe fight controls and camera; returningtothe launch point and landing, either on a plastic pad or having my VO secure the Phantom by hand. Ithen conduct a post-flight inspection for any problems, log the location and flight time and then viewthe video. There are no FAA certified instructors or FAA certified study guides available at this time as thetechnology continues to develop. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

## §91.103 (b)(2) (b)(2) This section deals the pilot's preparations forflight, in particular runway lengths, takeoff and landing distance information. 

## Response: Since a quad-copter, like a helicopter, takes offand lands vertically, a Phantom pilot would not need to knowthis information since there are no runways involved and the return from flight is the takeoffpoint. The FAA has determined that "relief is not necessary." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 20) § 

## 91.105 Summary: 

## This section deals with flight crewmembers at stations. 

## Response: Since there are no passengers, pilots or crewmembers, I respectfully request relieffrom this regulation. § 

## 91.109 Summary: 

## This sections deals with flight instruction, simulated instrumentflight and certain flighttests. 

## Response: None ofthese functions are applicable to a quad-copterflight and, as stated earlier, there are no FAA certified instructors or FAA certified study guides available at this timefor quad-copteroperation. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.119 (a) 

## (b) (c) Summary: 

## This section deals with minimum safe altitude statingthat ifthe powerfails anywhere, an aircraft should have an altitude sufficient so that an emergency landing can occur without hazard to persons or property (91.119 a). It also sets minimum altitudes over congested areas and uncongested areas as well as has a paragraph on helicopters (91.119 b). Italso sets minimum distance (500 feet) from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure (91.119 c).

5

## Response: None ofthe altitude requirements in this regulation should applyto a UAS since these aircraft are required to fly belowthose altitudes. Their weight, speed and GPS-controlled Return to Home feature mitigates against a catastrophic accident. A manned aircraft is much heavier and largerthan a Phantom. Ifa Phantom were to crash, it carries no humans, no explosive fuel and since itflies primarily over a single piece of private property, any damage would likely be minimal and confined tothat area. As to keeping 500' from any person, vessel, vehicle orstructure, the purpose of real estate quad-copter photography is tofly close to the subject structures with the permission of the owner/representative. I maintain that my nearly 23 hours flying these Phantoms have provided me with sufficient skills to manage safely any approach under 500 feet. In addition, access tothe property is strictly controlled (Warning sign and the clearing of any person on the property not involved in the flight). I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.121 

## Summary: This section details altimetersettings required to maintain the "cruising altitude orflight level ofthat aircraft." It requires thatthe "elevation ofthe departure airport" be set in the altimeterorthe "current reported altimetersetting ofastation alongthe route and within 100 miles ofthe aircraft". 

## Response: An UV cannot complyfully with this section's altitude requirements. The Phantom is equipped with a barometric altimeterwhich automatically calculates the takeoff altitude {0 AGL) when the aircraft is warmed up- the launch point becomes the "elevation ofthe departure" point. The altitude ofthe UV is visible in the control monitor (a smart phone) bythe PIC before launch and is consistently updated as the flight progresses. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

## §91.151 

## Summary: This section deals with fuel requirements forVFR flights stating, among other things, that "no person may begin aflight in an airplane underVFR condition unless

...there is enough fuel to fly tothefirst point ofthe intended landing and, "

...fly afterthatfor at least 40 minutes (day) and 45 minutes (night)". 

## Response: This regulation deals with 'reserve' fuel. This could include any condition that increases flight time orfuel consumption. Weather would be one factor including wind, turbulence and the necessityto divert around threatening thunderstorms. Compliance with this regulation is not possible because the 'fuel" onboard the Phantom is not aviation gas but a DC batterywith a maximum flight duration of25 minutes. Fuel management ofan UV requires constant monitoring ofthe battery's state-of-charge and bringing it home before it reaches the manufacturers recommended 30% level. In our training flights, we've found that aflight of 10-15 minutesto be safe, returning the

6

## Phantom to its Home Point around the 40% level. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.405 Summary: 

## This section deals with aircraft maintenance including regular inspection, the keeping ofappropriate maintenance records and replacement of inoperable instruments Response: 

## Maintenance on the Phantom is quite straight forward. If, in landing, a rotor blade ortwo are damaged, they are quickly replaced. The traditional instrument cluster in an aircraft is replaced by a data stream from the Phantom, visible in the control monitor (smart phone). Replacement of minor parts are performed bythe PIC and a major 'overhaul' that can't be easily resolved will go back tothe manufacturerfor repair. Currently, there are no required inspections by 'authorized' maintenance personnel and there would be no space/room on board to install a placard of inoperability. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.407 Summary/Response:

## This section addresses requirements after maintenance has been performed. Again, approval ofthe maintenance before flight is essentially in the hands ofthe PIC. Whatever maintenance is performed will be entered in the aircraft log, unless a separate maintenance log is required. Paragraph (b) refers to the prohibition ofa pilot carrying passengers or crewmembers, ifthe flight characteristics have been substantially affected, before a rated pilot performs an operational check ofthe maintenance. Again, this is a PIC's responsibility to preflightthe Phantom and determine its flyability. And, as mentioned earlier, there is no pilot, crewmembers or passengers on board the Phantom. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.409 Inspections: 

## This section deals with the necessity ofannual and 100-hour inspections or "progressive inspections" and approval by authorized persons which will lead to the "issuance ofan airworthiness certificate." Response: 

## As stated earlier, there is no FAA approved inspection protocols nor authorized inspection personnel. The PIC handlesthose issues each time the Phantom is prepared forflight. The pre-flight check list enumerated earlier will be followed to determine its mechanical and electronic integrity. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. § 

## 91.417 Maintenance Records: 

## This section requires a maintenance record be kept on repair, replacement and condition ofvital parts (rotors, engines 

## &airframe). Certain records 7

## Safety: must be retained for one year while other record must be kept with the aircraft even when sold to another part. Response: The details ofthis section would be impractical with a Phantom, but repair issues can be entered into the aircraft log. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. The above requests for exemptions followthe guidance published by the FAA.

The Phantom 2Vision+ is a UAS with multiple safety features to assure a safe and efficient flight, minimizing personal injury and property damage and integratingwith minimal risk into the NAS. They include:

• A GPS flight system thatallows forstable remote control ofthe aircraft. • The abilityto hover in place by simplytaking hands offthe controls. • A Return to Home function ifelectronic contact between the Remote Control and the aircraft is lost. Ifthe aircraft begins to show unstable flight, Iwill land it immediately. • The abilityto limit height (<400') and distance (<1000') from the PIC through the control software. • Use ofthe 'radar' mode which instantly allows the PIC to pinpointthe UA. • The No Fly Zone control software will preventtakeoffs within a S-mile radius ofa major airport as well as provide warning in the eventthatthe aircraft inadvertently approaches the zone while in flight. This warning will provide sufficienttime forthe PIC to reverse course. • Readout ofthe battery's state ofcharge so thatthere is sufficient powerto bringthe UA home. • The weight, size, speed and limited flight which focuses on inanimate objects (homes) reduces the likelihood ofsignificant personal or property damage. Flight ofthe UA risks no on board lives, as in helicopter or plane photography. The safetyfeatures associated with the Phantom as well as my pre-flight checklist and procedures will assure that public safety is not adversely affected

# • Public Service: 

## I am committed to helpingtwo local organizations fulfill their missions. The Kennebunkport Conservation Trust holds many acres of land in the Town of Kennebunkport, Maine. Of particular interest, is the dozen islands clustered around the entrance to Cape Porpoise Harbor (Attachment #5). Each year, several kayakers or adventurers are reported missing. The Kennebunkport Fire Department must man and launch a boat and search the shores of each island in an effortto locate the missing. A quad-copter can shorten that search time significantly ofthe nearby islands and locate a missing person(s) more quickly- possibly saving
8

## his/her life. In addition, Iwould workwith the KPFD to created trainingvideo. Also, hikers get lost from timeto time on the Kennebunkport Conservation Trust trails- another opportunity for a quad-copter search. Iwould request a 120-day provisional permitto determine the value ofthese activities and report back tothe FAA the results. Ifapproved, these activities would be donated forthe benefit ofthe community. 

## Airports and Prohibited Area: Since I intend to conduct flights on properties along the Southern Maine Coast area (York County), there are several airports that require additional precautions. They are (northeast to southwest along the coast as shown in the NewYork sectional -Attachment#6):

• Portland International (PWM)- FAA control tower (120.9) with awell-established upside down wedding cake control area. • Biddeford Airport- UNICOM (123.000 MHz) • Sanford Seacoast Regional (SFM)- UNICOM (123.075) • Private Airport- Goosefair (Kennebunkport)- No communication • Littlebrook (3B4)- UNICOM (122.9) • Portsmouth International at Pease (PSM)- FAA control tower (128.4) • P-67 Prohibited Area over Walker Point, Kennebunkport- check NOTAMS dailyfor expansion
I am familiar with these airports as well as the Protected Area. Iwill follow all FAA regulations. In addition, Iwould contact the Secret Service in the eventthat Iwas close to P-67. I respectfully request exemptions from the above listed regulations in orderto conduct aerial photography of residential and commercial properties in orderto assist realtors and developers in their marketing efforts. In addition, my commitmentto public education and safetywill focus on supporting the missions ofthe Kennebunkport ConservationTrust and the Kennebunkport Fire Department. Signed, William Edward Lord

## 2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes (1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect itto or disconnect it from the Phantom. {2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer beturned on, then recharge it to maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will optimize the battery. {3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should bevaried in these maintenance charges - ( 40%-50%}---0%-100%-(40%-50%). (4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a battery priorto disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. (5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. {6) Never recharge orfly with a batterythat is swollen or damaged in any way. (7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and never near anyflammable materials. {8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please seethe Disclaimer.



# :IJ: Discharging methods: Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, reducing wear. Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on.

## 3.2 Built-in Flight Control System The Phantom 2 Vision+ is equipped with a DJI Naza-M V2 Flight Control System. This provides incredible ease of use and stability. Pilots can control the Phantom's movements in many directions, including pitch (forwards and backwards), roll (left and right), elevator (up and down) and yaw (turn left or right). The flight control system also can provide IOC, Failsafe and battery level warnings. 

### Modules Flight Controller
IMU
GPS & Compass
LED Flight Indicators
FC Assistant Port 

### Functions Acts as the brains of the complete flight control system, responsible for connecting and controlling all the modules together. Has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information and assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculatethe position and heightofthe aircraft. Indicatesthe status offlight control system.

The flight control system communicates with the PC Assistant through a Micro-USB cable between the Phantom FC Assistant Port and the PC. Users can use Assistant to configure the aircraft and upgrade the Phantom firmware. Please refer to Using the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant (Page 46) for details.

The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is awireless communication devicethat operates within the 2.4 GHzfrequency band. It is used to extending the effective range ofcommunication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 Vision+ may occur. Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details ofwhich are printed on the label as 'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 6 letters or numbers ofthe MAC address for the Range Extender. This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

# .. IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poorflight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

# 0 •DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOTcarryferromagnetic materialswith you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. • DO NOTcalibrate beside massive metal objects. 

## 1.1Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom

(3) Mechanical structure ofthe Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position ofthe compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does notfly in straight lines.


## 2.1 Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Oncethe motors havespun up, release both sticks simultaneously.



## 2.2 Stopping Motors There aretwo methodsto stopthe motors. Figure 49 

### Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. 

### Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors

### will stop after 3 seconds.



### [1] [2] Figure 50 Figure 51 

# 0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraftto dropwithout control. :\): • Conductthe CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. • Pull down the throttle stickto descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraftwill descend steadily. Push

thethrottle stick upward to release throttle lock.



## 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (i) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicatorsfacing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind itwith your smartphone then enterthe camera preview page. (4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Readyto Ry.lfit flashes yellow, it is in Readyto Fly (non-GPS) modeand will require more careful flight. Executethe CSC command to start motors. (5) Push the throttle up slowlytotake off. Referto Remote Controller Operation (Page 18)for more details. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. (7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gentlyto descend. (8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. (9) Turn offthe smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller.

# & •When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. • A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details. • View tutorials aboutflightfor rnore flight information:www.dji.corn/phantom2visionplus/training. • Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be

.

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or rnore above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

## 3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips (I) Workthrough the check list before each flight. (2) Set the gimbal working rnode to Stabilized. (3) Aim to shoot when flying in Readyto Fly only. (4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. (5) Change camera settings to suityou. These include FOV, photoformat and exposure compensation. (6) Take flighttests to establish flight routes and scenes. (7) Push the sticks gentlyto make aircraft movements stable and smooth.

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lostThe Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraftto return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS coordinates will be recorded and set asthe home point • When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraftwill return tothe recorded home point coordinates and land. • Home point coordinates are used to calculatethe horizontal distance ofthe aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the

GUI ofthe DJI VISION App). • After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blinkfast green. Dynamic Home Point:The Home point will 

### be reset to position ofthe mobile device at specifictime intervals. • Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant. • Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to

obtain higher accuracy ofthe mobile device position. • Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different

from thetakeoff point. 

## 4.1 When Will FailsafeActivate? (I) The Remote Controller is powered off. (2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. (3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

## 4.2 Failsafe Procedure Initiating the Failsafe modefrom differentflying statuses will results in different landing processes. Readyto Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing The Right Control System will keepthe aircraft level during descentand landing. It may be drift duringthe descentand landing process. Readyto Fly- Automatic go home and land The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraftto fly backtothe home point and land.

## 3.1 Howto solve large margin(s) mid-pointerror? Appendix

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC and the Phantom will nottake off. The below are some possible fixes for this. (1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 2 Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. Solution: Use Assistantto perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic 

### -> RC 

### -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks through their completetravel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Power cyclethe Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controllerto OJI Customer service for repair. 

## 3.2 Howto restore avideo file if power is turned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or placethe Micro-SO card back intothe camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about30 secondsfor the videofile to be restored. 

## 3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

## 3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land atthe Home point. Please make surethere are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are familiar with the procedurefor regaining control. 

## 3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. Solution: Double checkthe current Wi-Fi connection status ofthe mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting to otherWi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

## 3.6 Files fail to synchronize. Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some mobile devices do notsupportthe synchronization ofthe 1 080i60video files.Appendix 

## 3.7 iOS Albums fail to synchronize. Solution: Reset the settings of your mobile device as illustrated below. Enable the Settings -> Private -> Photos -> OJI VISION. Otherwise Albums will fail to synchronize with your mobile device.
