Exemption Request under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the 

Federal Aviation Regull tions 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pmsuant to Section 33 oftbe FAA Modemization and Reform Act of2012 (the 

"Reform Act") and 14 "-i.F.R. Part 11 , New Hei~ts Aerial Photography LLC (CAY) 

seeks an exemption fr;oederal Aviation Regul tions ("FARs") detailed below for the 

following described U anned Aerial System c · led in this application the CA V 

System, which includes Phantom 2 Vision+, uad-copter Unmanned Aircraft (UAS) 

and ground station-baser equipment and crew. 

New Heights Aerial Photography LLC wishes to serve our community by providing 

professional photograph and videography servi9es for various markets detailed in the 

following paragraphs. 

The requested exemptio would support an appliEtion for a commercial Certificate of 

Authorization to use the above CAY system to c nduct aerial photography, videography 

and cinematography to nhance real estate, insur ce, special event, and land 

development industries. We plan to serve centra' Virginia and surrounding areas. 

The UA, powered by baheries, is smaller, lighter requires no fuel, and more 

maneuverable than lar~· aircraft rwming on cot bustible fuel, it operates at lower 

altitudes with no people on board and will therebr reduce current risk levels and thereby 

enhance safety and d. · ish the likelihood of de4th or serious bodily injury. With a 

small payload and maxitpum flight time of only 25 minutes with maximum air speed of 

30 knots, this is offers little or no risk to national security. 

Low-level oblique phot sand video from severa angles are far more effective than 

ground-based imagery fi r displaying the charact ristics of large, complex properties 

with several buildings a d large trees. Full-sized helicopters have proven more costly 

than many potential clie ts have been able to af£ rd. The benefits of reduced cost and 
improved quality of presentation from the UA wlu be valuable to and benefit many 

buyers and sellers of real property. 

Additionally, we reques that we be allowed to u~e our system to benefit first responders 

nearby who might requ· e assistance, including fire fighters, the police, the sheriff, et al., 

while remaining subjec to all limitations cited · tlus application as we do so 

The CA V System woul be as follows: 

THE PHANTOM 2 VI ION+ UNMANNED CRAFT (UA): 

• A lightweight (rna imum gross weight of potmds), electric motors powered by 

batteries and oper ted with four rotors in t e fonn of a quad-copter that takes off 

and lands vertica ly, manufactured by dJI, PHANTOM 2 VISION+, 3-axel 

camera stabilization system; 

• An on-board flight computer with GPS na, . gation and location ability that 

receives signals for flight contro s from a ground-based 

transmitter/control er; 

• An on-board tele1 etry system that deliver~ flight data from the on-board flight 

computer to the o -board radio transmitter including altitude AGL, horizontal 

a~d vertical speed compass direction of 1ight and direction back to its lalmch 

stte; 

• A 5.8GHz on-boar radio transmitter that rsmits live video from the on-board 

camera plus all tJ>e flight data from the telemetry system described above; 

Frequency 2462MHz 

THE GROUND STA ION-BASED PART OFITHE SYSTEM: 

• A Pilot in Command (PIC) in operational control of a ilight operation from 

beginning to end and who controls the UA ~hile in the air; 

• A lOOmw, 2.4G~ radio transmitter/controller operated by the PIC to control 

the UA while in flight; 

• A radio receiver r ceiving live video and flight data from the on-board 

camera and comp ter projects it all together onto a screen for the PIC to 

view during flight; 

• A Visual Observ~ (VO) is a person wh provides a second pair of eyes to 

visually track the J A while in flight. 

The CA V System will be operated in tl1e field w~th both a PIC and a VO in accordance with 

FAA Policy N 8900.221 Section 14 "Operationa~ Requirements for UAS" and with the 

following Restrictions: I

an airspeed of n more ilian 25 knots and o further than 3/4 NM from the PIC; 

(c) All operations st utilize a visual obsentl er (VO). The VO and PIC must be able to 

communicate by voice at all times during a flight operation; 

(d) Operations will e restricted to flights o~er private property with the pennission of the 

property owner; 

(e) The PIC must ha e accmnulated and logg d, in a manner consistent witll 14 CFR § 

61.51 (b), a mini urn of 100 flight cycles and 25 hours of total time as a UA rotorcraft 

pilot and at least en hours logged as a U pilot with a similar UA type; 
(f) All required pen ·ts will be obtained fro1 state and local government prior to operation; 

(g) The CA V Syste will not be operated ov r densely populated areas; 

(h) TheCA V Syste will not be operated at ir shows;

system and will compl te a course of maintena ce instruction as part of their initial training. 

qualified flight crew a strict operation under he guidelines established in 8900.227, and 

under all of the Restric ions (a) through ( o) lis ed above, the FAA can have full confidence 

that the operation will ave an equivalent or gr ater level of safety than manned aircraft 

performing the same m ssion 

How this Request Will enefit the Public As 

Granting this exemptio request furthers the p lie interest. First, Congress has already 

pronounced that it is in the public's interest to i tegrate commercially flown UASs into the 

national airspace syste , hence the passing of e Reform Act. Second, New Heights Aerial 

Photography conducts esearch into safe UAS fperations every time it flies its UAS. Flight 

data, visual inspections recorded observations nd flight analyses are compiled to further 

enhance current safety rotocols. Allowing us log more flight time directly relates to our 

research and our abili to further enhance curr nt safety measures. Third, the public has an 

interest in reducing the danger and emission as ociated with current aerial cinematic capture 

methods, namely, full s·z e helicopters. Our U is battery powered and creates no emissions. 

In the unlikely event o r UA crashes there is n fuel to ignite and explode. The impact of our 

lightweight UA is negl"gible when compared t a full size helicopter, notwithstanding the 

statistically noteworthy safety record of full si helicopters used in motion picture capture. 

The public's interest is furthered by minimizin ecological and crash impacts by permitting 

photo and motion pictu e capture through our I ghtweight UA. 

Progression of the arts nd sciences has been f ndamental to our society since its inclusion in 

the United States Cons itution. Indeed, Congre s mandated the integration ofUASs into our 

national airspace syste , in part, to achieve pr~gression in this noteworthy, and inevitable, 

field. Permitting New eights Aerial Photogr~ahy LLC to immediately fly within the United 

States furthers these go Is. Whether it is the a algam of scientific discoveries applicable to 

feature film making (in luding those drawing pon architecture, physics, engineering and 

cultural inclusiveness) o advancements in pub icly usable technologies or advancements in 

equipment available to aw enforcement perso:_rel I first responders that does not cost 

millions of dollars, gra ting this exemption re uest substantially furthers the public's interest 

in ways known and c ently unknown. 
Granting this request w'll also allow small busi ess owners and home owners to be able to 

afford high quality aeri I images and video tha1 they would otherwise have no access to due 

to several factors, cost teing the largest.

Section 91.7 (b) prescri es that the pilot in com and of a civil aircraft is responsible for 

determining whether th t aircraft is in condition or safe flight and that the PIC shall discontinue the 

flight when un airwort41 mechanical, electrical, or structural conditions occur. 

Section 91.9(b)(2) pro bits operation ofU.S.-rebstered civil aircraft unless there is available in 

Addendum Page 4 of 10 
the aircraft a current apJroved Airplane or Rotor raft Flight Manual, approved manual material, 

markings, and placards,lor any combination thereof. 

Section 91.1 03 (b) presfribes that a pilot shall fi r any flight, become familiar with runway 

lengths at airports of intended use, and takeoff a d landing distance information. 

Section 91.1 09( a) pres ribes, in pe1tinent prut, t 1at no person may operate a civil aircraft. (except a 

manned free balloon) th tis being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully 

functioning dual control . 

Section 91 .119 prescribys that, except when necessary for takeoff or landing, no person may 

operate an aircraft belo'f the following altitudes: 

(a) Anywhere. An ~titude allowing, if a po er unit fails, an emergency landing without undue

any routes altitudes specifically p 

1 

scribed for helicopters by the FAA; and 

(2) A powered arachute or weight-shiijt-control aircraft may be operated at less than 

the minimu s prescribed in paragrarlh (c) of tlus section. 

Section 91 .121 require , in pertinent part, eaclJ person operating atl aircraft to maintain cruising 

altitude by reference to an altimeter that is set ivailable within 100 NM of the aircraft " ... to the 

elevation of the departure airport or an approprij e altimeter setting available before departure." 

Section 91.151 (a) prescribes that no person rna~ begin a flight in an airplane tmder VFR 

conditions unless (const'dering wind and forecas~ weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to 

the first point of intend d landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, ( l) during the day, to fly 

after that for al least 30 . irtutes [emphasis adder 

Section 91.203(a) pro · its, in pertinent part, an person from operating a civil aircraft unless it 

has within it (1) an app opriate and current airw 'rthiness certificate; and (2) an effective 

U.S. registration certifi ate issued to its owner o , for operation within the United States, the

Section 91.203(b) presc ibes, in pertinent part, tl t no person may operate a civil aircraft unless the 

airworthiness certificate or a special flight autho~·zation issued under § 91.715 is displayed at the 

cabin or cockpit entranc so that it is legible top ssengers or crew. 

At a maximum gross w ight of 5.3 pow1ds, the A is too small to carry documentation, does not 

have an entrance, and is not capable of carrying assengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent level of 

safety and meet the inte t of 91 .203, we propose at documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft 

by the FAA will be co-l cated with the crew at t e ground control station and available for 

inspection upon request. 

Section 91.405(a) reqt · es, in pertinent part, that an aircraft operator or owner shall havetl1at aircraft 

inspected as prescribed subpart E of the same art and shall, between required inspections, except 

as provided in paragrap (c) of tl1e same section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 

43 ofthe chapter. 

Section 91.407(a)(l) pr hibits, in pertinent part, y person from operating an aircraft thathas 

undergone maintenance preventive maintenan~c , rebuilding, or alteration unless it has been 

approved for return to s rvice by a person autho ·zed under§ 43.7 of the same chapter. 

Section 91.409(a)(2) pr scribes, in pertinent p that no person may operate an aircraft tmless, 

within the preceding 12 calendar months, it has td an inspection for the issuance of an 

airworthiness ce1tificat in accordance with part ( of this chapter. 

Section 91.417(a) and ) prescribes, in pertinen1 part, that-

( a) Each registe ed owner or operator sh 11 keep the following records for the periods 

specified in par graph (b) of this section 

(1) Rec rds of the maintenance, reventive maintenance, and alteration and records

rotor, d appliance of an aircra . The records must includei) A description (or re renee to data acceptable to the 

dministrator) of the wo k perfonned; and 

ii) The date of completi n of the work performed; and 

iii) The signature, and , ertificate number of the person approving the 

· craft for return to se 

ing information: 

i) The total time in se · ce of the airframe, each engine, each 

Addendum Page 6 of 10 
f ropeller, and each rotor. 

ii) The current status o~ life-limited parts of each airframe, engine, 

ropeller, rotor, and appliance. 

iii) The time since last fl verhaul of all items installed on the aircraft 

hich are required to be verhauled on a specified time basis. 

iv) The current inspecti n status of the aircraft, including the time 

ince the last inspection required by the inspection program under 

hich the aircraft and its appliances are maintained. 

v) The current status of applicable airworthiness directives (AD) and

vi) Copies of the forms rescribed by§ 43 .9( d) of tl1is chapter for each 

ajor alteration to tl1e · rame and currently installed engines, rotors, 

ropellers, and appliance . 

(b) The owner r operator shall retain thj following records for the periods prescribed: 

(1) Thef ecords specified in parlraph (a)(l) of this section shall be retained until 

the wor is repeated or superse ed by other work or for 1 year after the work is 

perform d. 

(2) The 

1 

ecords specified in par graph (a)(2) of this section shall be retained and 

transfe1 ed with the aircraft at tht time the aircraft is sold. 

(3) A 1~ t of defects furnished tor registered owner ot' operator under 

§ 43.11 of this chapter shall be Jtained until the defects are repaired and the 

aircraft s approved for return to ervice. 

Concluding, the Phanto n 2 Vision+ aircraft (U ) will not carry persons or propetty, will not 

carry fuel, and will onl~y under strict operatiohal requirements. Combined with the UA's 

lightweight, being cons cted primarily of carbJn fiber and plastic, we propose that the UA will 

be at least as safe, if no safer, than a conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same 

lTilSStOn. 

If an aiiworthiness cet tcate is not appropriate for tllis application, then we request an exemption 

of 14 CFR Part 21, Sub art H, and the requiremlnt for an airwortl1iness certificate in general, citing 

the equivalent level of afety. 

The UA is battery oper ted and the maximum d ation of flight from a single battery charge is 25 

minutes witl1 a 20% res rve. Since the aircraft w 11 never fly more than 3/4 NM from the 

Addendum Page 7 of 10 
point of intended landint a full battery charge at law1ch will ensure that we meet the reserve 

energy requirement oftl}.is paragraph. We reques an exemption to the word "fuel" and ask for an 

equivalent interpretatiod with the word "energy". 

It is our intention that th PIC perform maintena ce and inspection of the aircraft and "be 

authorized to approve t e aircraft for return to sefice." As provided in the Pre-Flight Checklist in 

Appendix A, the PIC wi 1 ensure that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition prior to every flight 

and in addition conduct etailed inspections aftc every two hours of flight. 

Maintenance performed by the PIC is limited to ~epairing small cracks, replacing a propeller, 

checking electrical co~ections and updating sortare and firmware for the on-board computer. All 

other maintenance will be performed by the manfacturer or designated repair facility. The PIC 

will document work performed in accordance wi h 91 .417. We feel that due to the size, 

construction, and simpli ity of the aircraft, the P can ensure an equivalent level of safety. 

The UA maximwn gros~ weight is 3.0 pounds and the PIC is not on board. Both the PIC and the YO 

are required to be in YLbS. Given the unlikely efent that both the PIC and YO become medically 

incapacitated while the Jircraft is in flight, the U will retwn autonomously to the site of launching 

and land without crew · tervention. 

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

pilot carrying passenger in a large aircraft is an necessary burden. 

The UA will always fly ~elow 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cmising altitudes in 

order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An bove Ground Level altimeter measurement 

above takeoff point is trrsmitted via radio from A on-board computer to display screen held 

by the PIC, providing a fonstant updated AGL readout. 

We propose that the miq.imum medical requirements for the PIC and YO be vision corrected to 

20/20 and a valid, state issued driver's license. T 1 

e 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that the 

PIC and YO can see an avoid air traffic; a licen ed driver is medically qualified to operate a much 

larger vehicle.
