The requested exemption would support an application for a commercial Certificate of Authorization

to use the above described ME System to support Production of promotional materials (video and/or

materials, (video and/or still images) for Travel and Tourism industries .Production of promotional

materials, (video and/or still images) for commercial businesses,Photography and videography of social

events, such as weddings never operating over persons not directly involved with the ME system.

The UA, powered by batteries, is smaller, lighter and more maneuverable than larger aircraft running

on combustible fuel, it operates at lower altitudes with no people on board and will thereby reduce

current risk levels and thereby enhance safety and diminish the likelihood of death or serious bodily

injury. With a small payload and maximum flight time of only 18 minutes, this is offers little or no risk to

national security.

Addendum containing Exemption Requests and Equivalent Level of Safety Appendix A

– Flight Manual’s

Appendix B – Owner’s Manual for UAADDENDUM EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY

Nectar ICC LLC. requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any additional

regulations that may technically apply to the operation of the ME System:

14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates

This part establishes the procedures for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. While the FAA

continues to work to develop airworthiness standards for Unmanned Aerial Systems, we request an

experimental certificate be issued for the ME System under either or both of the following provisions:

21.191 Experimental certificates.

Experimental certificates are issued for the following purposes:

(191.a) Research and development. Testing new aircraft design concepts, new aircraft

equipment, new aircraft installations, new aircraft operating techniques, or new uses for aircraft.

(191.b) Showing compliance with regulations. Conducting flight tests and other

operations to show compliance with the airworthiness regulations including flights to show

compliance for issuance of type and supplemental type certificates, flights to substantiate major

design changes, and flights to show compliance with the function and reliability requirements of

the regulations. Since the experimental certificate can be used for commercial purposes such as

market surveys, sales demonstrations, and customer crew training, we would expect that an

experimental certificate would permit our commercial purpose as well.

The aircraft will not carry persons or property, will not carry fuel, and will only fly under strict

operational requirements. Combined with the UA’s light weight, being constructed primarily of carbon

fiber and plastic, we propose that the UA will be at least as safe, if not safer, than a conventionally

certificated aircraft performing the same mission.

If an experimental airworthiness certificate is not appropriate for this application, then we request an

exemption of 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H, and the requirement for an airworthiness certificate in general,

citing the equivalent level of safety outlined in the previous paragraph.

14 CFR 91.203(a) & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required.

The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the

aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b)

provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is

legible to passengers or crew."

14 CFR 45.23 Display of marks; general and 45.29 Size of marks.

These regulations provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's registration number in

letters at least 3 inches high. Additionally, the aircraft must display the word "EXPERIMENTAL" in letters

at least 2 inches high near the entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station. The UA does not have an

entrance in which the word "EXPERIMENTAL" can be placed, and may not have a registration number

assigned to it by the FAA.

We propose to achieve an equivalent level of safety by including the word "EXPERIMENTAL" in the

placard on the top of the aircraft, as shown above, where the PIC, VO and others in the vicinity of the

aircraft while it is preparing for launch will be able to see the designation. Additionally, we feel that the

permanent placard discussed in the previous paragraph will provide the aircraft's registration

information at the ground station. Finally, we will display at the ground station a high contrast flag or

banner that contains the words "Unmanned Aircraft Ground Station" in letters 3 inches high or greater.

Since the aircraft will operate within 3/4 NM of the ground station, the banner should be visible to

anyone that observes the aircraft and chooses to investigate its point of origin.

 14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements.

This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual

is in the aircraft. We assume that the intent of this requirement is to ensure that flight manual

information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. We request an exemption to this

requirement since the aircraft is not only too small to carry documentation, the documentation would

not be available to the crew during flight operations.

To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a current, approved

UA Flight Manual (Appendix A) must be available to the crew at the ground station anytime the aircraft

is in, or preparing for, flight.

 14 CFR 61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in Command and 61.133 Commercial

pilot privileges and limitations.

The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command

of an aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private pilot to act as pilot in

command of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only

incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property

for compensation or hire.

Our proposed operations require that the PIC must either1. Hold a Sport Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA, and have logged 25 hours of flight experience in

this type of UA, or

2. Meet the requirements of 8900.227 para 16(c)(2)(c) "Operations without a pilot certificate" in

which the PIC is required to complete "FAA private pilot ground instruction" and pass "the FAA

Private Pilot written examination." Since there are currently no means available for the pilot of a

UAS to gain the experience in an equivalent category and class in order to apply for a

commercial pilot's license, we propose to generate an equivalent level of safety by requiring our

pilots to complete, at a minimum, FAA commercial pilot ground instruction and pass the FAA

Commercial Pilot written examination in addition to completing the private pilot requirements.

Since the aircraft cannot carry passengers or property, we feel we meet the intent of 61.113

Subparagraph (b) even though the intent of this application is to conduct a business.

14 CFR 91.109 Flight Instruction;

Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests

The regulation states that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for flight instruction

unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls.”

14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes: General.

The regulation states that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than

500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the aircraft will be operating at a maximum of

400 feet AGL, we cannot comply with this requirement.

In order to provide an equivalent level of safety we will only fly over private property with a size of at

least two acres with the permission of the owner of the property flown over. The aircraft will not be

operated over congested areas or over any open air assembly of persons. The property owner will be

briefed on the expected route of flight and the associated risks to persons and property on the ground.

The aircraft will be operated at a low altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing

without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface.

Therefore we maintain that due to the small size of the UA, the hazard to persons, vehicles and

structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in granting the

exemption.

14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings.

The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimeter

setting available within 100 NM of the aircraft.

14 CFR Subpart E (91.401

- ‐ 91.417)

- ‐ Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Alterations

The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in an

airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require

that the aircraft be "approved for return to service by a person authorized under 43.7" after

maintenance and inspection.

Therefore, requiring the PIC and VO to meet the same medical requirements as a commercial pilot

carrying passengers in a large aircraft is an unnecessary burden.

We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision corrected to 20/20

and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that the PIC and VO

can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is medically qualified to operate a much larger vehicle.
