This exemption will permit SCOTT R CARR to operate an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for the commercial purpose of conducting aeri al video and photography for real estate photography and landscape over certain areas of the United States.

INTRODUCTION AND INTERESTS OF THE PETITIONER

My name is SCOTT R CARR. I have been a licensed (pr ivate pilot) since 1996 with knowledge of all current FAA regulations. My flight experience consi sts of PIC of both a Cessna 150 and Cessna 172. Along with general aviation experience, I am a 15 y ear experienced expert operator of multiple types o f RCV Aircraft including Multi rotor, Ducted Fan fixe d Wing, Quadcopters and General fixed wing.

The objective of SCOTT CARR’ aerial video and photo graphy operations is to provide high quality imaging for a variety of Commercial & Residential p roperties including Retail, Industrial, MultiFamily, Hotel, Office, Land and Single Family Resid ence properties for client marketing purposes. Scott R Carr will also provide knowledge of UAS and promote safe UAS operations.BACKGROUND

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspi re 1 UASs SCOTT R CARR seeks an exemption to operate DJI syst ems for compensation or hire within the NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 are vertical ta keoff and landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft (UA) with a Ground Control Station (GCS) utilizing electronic tablet or smart phone systems. The DJI Phantom 3 has a maximum gross weight of approximate ly 2 pounds 14 ounces, while having a length of 16 inches width of 16 inches, height of 8 inches , and a maximum speed of approximately 29 knots. The DJI Inspire 1 has a maximum gross weight of 6 p ounds 7.5 ounces, a length of 17.3 inches, width of 17.7 inches, height of 11.8 inches, and a maximu m speed of approximately 42 knots. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UAs are equipped with fo ur main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electric motors.

The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs that will b e operated by SCOTT R CARR will be registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft, as well as 14 C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration, and marked in accordance with 14 C.F. R. Part 45, Identification and Registration Markings.

BASIS FOR PETITION

Petitioner, SCOTT R CARR, pursuant to the provision s of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act o f 2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspire 1 UASs in the National A irspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b ), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).

In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and li mited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, SCOTT R CARR operation of DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meets the conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, w ill not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

Accordingly, SCOTT R CARR requests relief from Sect ions 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to
aircraft with an airworthiness certificate.

SCOTT R CARR submits that the requested relief is p roper since an equivalent level of safety will be ensured. SCOTT R CARR will use experienced personne l or technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthl y Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, SCOTT R CARR will document and maintain all

maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI I nspire 1 UASs.

Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113( a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by SCOT T R CARR to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as an airman medical certificate, and who has demonstrated, by meeting m inimum flight- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phan tom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs in a manner consistentwith this exemption, including evasive and emergenc y maneuvers and maintaining appropriate

distances from people, vessels, vehicles and struct ures.

SCOTT R CARR seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), ent itled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, SCOTT R CARR submits that he will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UASs are in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UASs are in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) , and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight.

SCOTT R CARR also seeks an exemption from the requ irements of Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UA s will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI P hantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1UAs will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipme nt and radio communications telemetry data link,

which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active m onitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with SCOTT R CARR operation o f the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet A GL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Sec tion

91.121.

Additionally, SCOTT R CARR seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR condit ions. SCOTT R CARR submits that safety will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and D JI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of approximately 15.5 minutes to t he first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at lea st 4.5 minutes.

In accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 11.81, SCOTT R CARR provides the following information in support of its petition for exemption:

The Relief.

1. Extent Of Relief SCOTT R CARR Seeks And The Reason SCOTT R CARR Seeks Relief From Section 61.113(a) And (b). Relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Priv ate pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested to the extent necessary to al low a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as a current and valid a irman medical certificate, and who has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, to c onduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or hire. This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only i ncidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or prope rty for compensation or hire. As set forth more fully below, SCOTT R CARR submits that an equivalent level of safety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to ope rate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has met certain flight-hour a nd currency requirements, demonstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate either the D JI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as de scribed in this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining app ropriate distances from people, vessels,

vehicles and structures. Further, SCOTT R CARR submits that all flights of t he DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, conducted by the PIC pursuant to the grant of this Petition: (1) will be incidental to SCOTT R CARR' business; and (2) will not carry passengers o r property for compensation or hire.

2. Extent Of Relief SCOTT R CARR Seeks And The Reason SCOTT R CARR Seeks Relief From Section 91.7(a). Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, is requested to the extent required to allow SCOTT R CARR to determine that th e DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in airworthy condition prior to every flig ht by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., SCOTT R CARR Ae rial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). SCOTT R CARR seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require an

airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, SCOTT R

CARR will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Ins pire 1 UASs are in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating docume nts (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) prior to every flight, and further,

determine that the aircraft are in condition for sa fe flight, as stated in the conditions and

limitations below.

3. Extent Of Relief SCOTT R CARR Seeks And The Reason SCOTT R CARR Seeks Relief

From Section 91.121. Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter sett ings, may be required to allow flight operations of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 U ASs, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications t elemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UA to the PIC at the ground co ntrol station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operat ions be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in feet above ground level (AGL), SCOTT R CARR seek s the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UA’s altimeter may be s et on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitud e, before each flight. Considering the limited altitude of the proposed op erations, relief from 14 CFR 91.121 is sought to the extent necessary to comply with the a pplicable conditions and limitations statedbelow. As more fully set forth herein, an equivalen t level of safety will be maintained since the

DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are equipped wi th a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a groun d level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with alt itude information of the UA on the heads-up display of the GCS.

4. Extent Of Relief SCOTT R CARR Seeks And The Reason SCOTT R CARR Seeks Relief From Section 91.151(b). Relief from Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel require ments for flight in VFR conditions, is requested to the extent required to allow flights o f the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteo rological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 15.5 mi nutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that f or at least 4.5 minutes. SCOTT R CARR seeks the requested relief because without an exemp tion from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration of the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and D JI Inspire 1 UAs will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that SCOTT R CARR proposes to conduct pursuant to this Petition. Significantly, as set forth below, the technical sp ecifications of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 operating documents, and SCOTT R CARR proposed operating limitations, ensure that SC OTT R CARR will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual fligh t rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at lea st 4.5 minutes.

5. Extent Of Relief SCOTT R CARR Seeks And The Reason SCOTT R CARR Seeks Relief From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1 ) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, SCOT T R CARR requests relief from these Sections because the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJ I Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation withou t an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, SCOTT R CARR will use trained technici ans to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the met hods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., SCOTT R CARR Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore,

SCOTT R CARR will document and maintain all mainten ance records for the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs.

D. The Reasons Why Granting SCOTT R CARR Request Wo uld Be In The Public Interest: That Is, How It Would Benefit The Public As A Whole.

Granting the present Petition will further the pu blic interest by allowing SCOTT R CARR too safely, efficiently, and economically perf orm aerial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, and landscape over certain areas of the United States. Additionally, use of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI In spire 1 UASs will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, crashes and accidents caused by pilot error and provide significant benefits to the economy. Notably, the b enefits of SCOTT R CARR’ proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UA Ss will be realized without implicating any privacy issues.1. The Public Will Benefit From Decreased Congestion O f The NAS.

The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient,

and economical alternative to the manned aircraft t raditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. By reducing the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution , as well as increase the safety of life and property in the air and on the ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircr aft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing ai rcraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a reduction of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photogr aphy missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic contro l during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations.

2. The Public Will Benefit From The Safety And Efficie ncy Of The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, instead of manned aircraft, will greatly benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, the DJI Ph antom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmental ly conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that a re typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gall ons per hour of leaded aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs, while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as t he UAs are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs t o perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air an d on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew memb ers located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs (weighing approxima tely 2 pounds 14 ounces and 6 pounds 7.5 ounces respectively, at their maximum gross wei ghts with lengths of 16 inches and 17.3 inches respectively, widths of 16 inches and 17.7 i nches respectively, and with no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft that ty pically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of appro ximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons).

3. Performing Aerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Will Benefit The Economy. In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Ph antom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UA Ss will allow United States based companies, like BOESE PROPERTY MANGEMENT, to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new an d alternative technology in order to remain competitive. Operating the battery powered D JI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs is one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility with out the high operational cost of a traditional

manned aircraft.By operating the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UA Ss, companies such as BOESE

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT, can remain competitive and pro fitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved financial performance of U.S. companies, through commercial use of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, provid es a stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and feder al tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to rema in competitive both in the United States and

abroad.

4. There Are No Privacy Issues. Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight ope rations that have been conducted for decades, SCOTT R CARR proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs would not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be operated only in compliance with operating document s (i.e., SCOTT R CARR Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) which requires property owner i nvolvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with th e Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91 .119.

E. The Reasons Why Granting The Exemption Would Not Adversely Affect Safety, Or How The Exemption Would Provide A Level Of Safety At Least Equal To That Provided By The Rule From Which SCOTT R CARR Seeks Exemption.

1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UAs Meet The Conditions Of The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Sec tion 333. In consideration of the size, weight, speed, and li mited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, SCOTT R CARR’ operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an

airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthines s certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. Speci fically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in part:

a. In General. --Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, t he Secretary of Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and r ulemaking required by section 332 of this Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this Act.

b. Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems. --In makin g the determination under subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimum—

i. Which types of unmanned aircraft systems, if any, a s a result of their size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight do not cr eate a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public or pose a th reat to national security; and whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of aut horization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 of title 49, Unit ed States Code, is required for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems identifi ed under paragraph (1).

c. Requirements for Safe Operation. --If the Secretary determines under this section that certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safel y in the national airspace system,the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system.

In seeking this exemption, SCOTT R CARR submits tha t the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs can operate safely in the NAS pursua nt to FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) th e specific operating limitations.

i. The Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Ins pire 1 UASs

Demonstrate Its Safe Characteristics. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not cre ate a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to na tional security considering its size, weight, speed, and operational capability.

ii. Technical Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 and D JI Inspire 1 UASs. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Specifications and Data Sheet, attached hereto as Appendix A and B, set the technical speci fications of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs forth.

iii. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Autonomous Flight And Navigation Modes Enable The UASs To Remain Within A Defined Operational Area. The DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs may be ope rated in both manual and fully autonomous flight modes. A complete descripti on of the flight and navigational modes of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Ins pire 1 UASs is provided at pages 25-35 of the DJI Phantom 3 and pages 12-16 an d 45-50 of the DJI Inspire 1 User Manuals, attached hereto as Exhibit C and D.

vi. Flight Operations Of DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Are Limited To The Line Of Sight Of A Certificated Pilot in Com mand With A Safety

Observer. SCOTT R CARR will only utilize certificated pilots who possess a current and valid airman medical certificate to act as a pilot in command (PIC) of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. Additionally, a s afety observer will assist allpilots during flight time.

vii. Flights Of DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs Wil l Be Conducted Pursuant To Specific Operating Limitations. In seeking this exemption, SCOTT R CARR proposes to commercially operate DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs for the specia l purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of United States, pursuant to the following specific operating limitations:

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption wi ll be limited to the following aircraft described in the operating docum ents, rotorcraft UASs weighing less than 55 pounds maximum gross weight: DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Propos ed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this

grant.
2. UAS operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose of aerial video and pho tography.

3. The UAs may not be flown at an indicated airspeed e xceeding 20 knots.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more t han 500 feet above ground level (AGL), as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents unless a special request is mad e and approved by ATC. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL.

5. The UAs must be operated within visual line of sigh t (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to u se human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as spec ified on the PIC’s

FAA-issued airman medical certificate.

6. The use of first person view (FPV) by the PIC or sa fety observer (SO) is not permitted.

7. All operations must utilize a safety observer (SO). The SO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The SO and PIC must be able to com municate verbally at all times. Electronic messaging or texting is no t permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated befor e the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the dura tion of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the SO can perform the functio ns prescribed in the operating documents.

8. The SO must not perform any other duties beyond ass isting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other gro und based obstacles/obstructions and is not permitted to oper ate the camera or other

instruments.

9. The operating documents and the grant of exemption must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Adm inistrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the condit ions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption and the procedu res outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption take precedence and must be foll owed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its op erating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revi sions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if itpetitions for extension or amendment to the grant o f exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision wou ld affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the operator must petition for amendment to its grant of exemption. T he FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted if que stions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating doc uments.
10. Prior to each flight the PIC must inspect the UAS t o ensure that it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveal s a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is proh ibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Gro und Control Station must be included in the preflight inspection. All m aintenance and alterations must be properly documented in the airc raft records.

11. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alteratio ns that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g. repla cement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make an en try in the aircraft

records.

12. The pre-flight inspection must account for all pote ntial discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, items, or equipment, not alr eady covered in the relevant sections of the operating documents.

13. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s air craft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements.

14. The operator must carry out its maintenance, inspec tions, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the operat ing documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts must be noted in the aircraft recor ds, including total time in service, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UAS to service.

15. Each UASs operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer Safety Bulletins.

16. The authorized person must make an entry in the air craft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies disco vered between inspections.

17. The PIC must possess at least a private pilot certi ficate and at least a

current third-class medical certificate.

18. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unle ss the PIC meets the operator’s qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances fro m persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight h ours must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b). Flight s for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs are permitted under th e terms of the exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, profi ciency, and experiencebuilding flights, all persons not essential for fli ght operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operat e the UA withappropriate distance from nonparticipants in accord ance with 14 C.F.R. §

91.119.

19. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, a s defined in 14 C.F.R. § 1.1. All operations must be conducted unde r visual meteorological conditions (VMC). If flight at night is required, a special request will be made at the FAA office closest to p roposed area of operations. Flights under special visual flight rul es (SVFR) are not

authorized.

20. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of a n airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronau tical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM a s required by the operator’s COA. The letter of agreement with the ai rport management must be made available to the Administrator upon re quest.
21. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility i s less than 3 statute

miles from the PIC.

22. If the UA loses communications or loses its GPS sig nal, it must return to a pre-determined location within the planned operat ing area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating docum ents.
23. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpre dicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating docume nts.
24. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unles s (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough po wer to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and la nd the UA with 25% battery power remaining.

25. The operator must obtain an Air Traffic Organizatio n (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. This COA w ill also require the operator to request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 48 hours prior to the operation. All operations shall be conducted in accordance with ai rspace requirements in the ATO issued COA including class of airspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements.

26. All aircraft operated in accordance with the exempt ion must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 47, and have identification (N- Number) markings in accorda nce with 14 C.F.R. part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as pr acticable.

27. Before conducting operations, the radio frequency s pectrum used for operation and control of the UA must comply with th e Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriat e government oversight agency requirements.

28. The documents required fewer than 14 C.F.R. 91.9 an d 91.203 must be

available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the UAS is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.
29. The UA must remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.

30. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any mov ing device orvehicle.

31. Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 fe et from all nonparticipating persons (persons other than the PI C, SO, operator trainees or essential persons), vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficientl y protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonpa rticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situatio n arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immedi ately and/or;

b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or s tructures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety as sessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and d etermined that it does not present an undue hazard, and;

c. Operations nearer to the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those per sons per § 91.119(a).

32. All operations shall be conducted over private or c ontrolled-access property with permission from the land owner/contro ller or authorized representative. Permission from land owner/controll er or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted.

33. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that tr ansgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defi ned by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration O ffice (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Website: www.ntsb.gov.

2. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of S ection 61.113(a) And (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. SCOTT R CARR submits that the equivalent level of s afety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be a llowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs unless that PIC has demonstrated , by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safe ly operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, incl uding evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering SCOTT R CARR’ proposed area of operatio ns, and the operating limitations set forth-above; the parallel nature of private pilot a eronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 11 062); and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS, SCOTT R CARR submits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a commer cially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for SC OTT R CARR’ specific proposed flight operations. The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11 109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). SCOTT R CARR will not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unle ss that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements or the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS training andcurrency requirements, that the PIC is able to safe ly operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1

UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption, inc luding evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and log ged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcr aft pilot (with a minimum of 5 hours of those hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and mo del of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption). In addition to the hour requ irements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). As in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during SCOTT R CARR’ proposed operations. The Admin istrator has held that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in c ompliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: In Exemption No. 11062, the FAA required that prior to conducting operations for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot w ith a multi-rotor UAS. Prior to operations under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have a ccumulated and logged a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and mo del of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption. For clarification, the FAA con siders these minimum hour requirements to be inclusive rather than additive; i.e. 5 hours mak e and model time may be included in the 10 hours of multi-rotor time and the 10 hours may be i ncluded in the total 25 hours of UAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requiremen ts, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency pur poses). The FAA finds that at a minimum, the flight hour requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency in the skills necessary to safely condu ct the petitioner’s proposed operations. The FAA also finds that prior documented flight experie nce that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfy this requireme nt. Training, proficiency, and experiencebuilding flights can also be conducted under the gr ant of exemption to accomplish the required flight time. During training, proficiency, and expe rience-building flights the PIC is required to operate the UA with appropriate distances in accord ance with 14 C.F.R 91.119.

Exemption No. 11138 at page 15. Accordingly, SCOTT R CARR will ensure safe operatio ns by not allowing any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consiste nt with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles

and structures.CONCLUSION

SCOTT R CARR seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C .F.R. § 11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) , which will permit safe operation of the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercial ly, without an airworthiness certificate, for the limited purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States. By granting thi s Petition, the FAA Administrator will be fulfilling the Congressional mandate of the FAA Mod ernization and Reform Act of 2012, while also advancing the interests of the public, by allo wing SCOTT R CARR to safely, efficiently, and economically operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercially within the NAS. WHEREFORE, in accordance with the Federal Avia tion Regulations and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Section 333, SCOTT R CARR respectfully requests that the Administrator grant this Petition for an e xemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b ), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), and permit SCOTT R CAR R to operate the DJI Phantom 3 and DJI Inspire 1 UASs commercially for the purpose of cond ucting aerial video and photography over

certain areas of the United States.
