Mark League 

## Will operate one or more of the Following model UAS Phantom 2 

## Safety requirements. The approval of this application presents no national security issues. Regarding the level of safety surrounding the proposed operations and the public benefit, reduction in environmental impacts, including but not limited to reduced emissions and noise, the grant of the requested exemption is in the public interest. Accordingly, the applicant graciously requests that the FAA grantthe requested exemption. AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY

The operation limitations proposed for an equivalent or higher level of safety because operations will further enhance the safety of the persons and/or property using conventional aircraft. These limitations and conditions to which the applicant agrees to adhere to when conducting commercial operations under the FAA issued exemption as set forth in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) include:
1. The UAS will weigh significantly less than 55 lbs. It weighs less than 4 pounds with battery and camera.

## 2. The UAS, depending on the model in operation, will have a maximum operating speed of no more than 50mph.

3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the Pilot in Command (PIC) and/or Visual Observer (VO).
4. Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be depending on the UAS model in operation, but will not exceed 30 minutes. Flights will be terminated at 25% battery power reserve or 30 minutes of flight time whichever occurs first.
5. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) and not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which filming is planned. 

## 6. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the UAS Pilot and at least one Visual Observer (VO), and may include a third, but separate, Camera Operator (CO).


## 7. The UAS pilot will be a designated Pilot in Command (PIC). The PIC will have logged a minimum of 20 hours on the designated UAS. 

## 8. A safety briefing will be performed prior to each day's flights consisting of all the days' Production activities. 

## 9. All flight activities will be logged. 10. All flights will occur under Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions (VMC) only. 11. The flights will occur in Class G 

## airspace no closer than a 5 mile radius of the geographic center/Airport Reference Point (ARP) of a tower controlled or uncontrolled airport. 12. Flights will not be closer than a 5-mile radius of the geographic center/Airport.
13. The operator will do a pre check of aircraft prior to each flight. And log each flight.

## 14. The operator will obtain verbal/written consent of all persons involved with the planned operation and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 100 feet of the flight operation, and the radius may be reduced to 30 feet based upon an equivalent level of safety determination, as U.S. Department of Transportation required under the FOM. With the advanced permission ofthe FSDO, operations at closer range may be approved.
15. The PIC and VO will have been trained in operation of UAS and receive up to date information for the particular UAS to be operated.

16. The PIC and VO will be able to communicate by voice and/or radio at all times.
17. The PIC will abide by all rules 18. Communications with the remote controller and the UAS will have the capability to return to a predetermined location within a designated location and land autonomously.

19. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of emergencies with an automated "Return Home and Land" function.
20. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles, weather, or emergencies such as low battery.

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) (1) Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203 (a) (1 ). Given the size and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and Section 333 of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and populated areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis of these criteria

## demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate in the restricted environment and under the conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The UAS to be operated hereunder is less than 55 lbs. fully loaded, carries neither a pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusively within a secured and designated area. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations under this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by both the operator and under the requirements and in compliance with local public safety requirements. These safety enhancements provide a greater degree of safety to the public and property owners than conventional operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Lastly, application of these same criteria demonstrates that there is no credible threat to national security posed bythe UAS, due to its size, speed of operation, location of operation, lack of explosive materials orflammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load. 14 C.F.R. §

## 14 C.F.R. § 61.113 (a) and (b
The proposed UAS operations may achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current Regulations because the applicant's UAS do not carry any pilots or passengers nor property. The risks attendant to the It is believed that the operation and limitations set forth in the FOM will equate to the safe operation of the UAS.
14 C.F.R. §91.7{a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness. The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. Given the size of the aircraft for maintenance and use of safety checklists prior to each flight, an equivalent level of safety will be provided. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. Section 91.9 (b) {2) provides: No person may operate a U.S. registered civil aircraft
... (2) For which an Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. The UAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. The equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to it. 14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action. This regulation requires each pilot in command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety of flight. As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft an exemption will be needed. The PIC will take all actions as stated in the FOM in Section 4 under Normal Procedures including but not limited to reviewing weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft performance data before initiation of flight. 14 C.F.R. §91.1 09: Flight Instruction. Section 91.103 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. UAS and remotely piloted aircraft, bytheir design do not have fully functional dual controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft a'nd for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. The equivalent level of

## safety is provided bythe fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and by the size and speed of the aircraft.
14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. As this exemption is for a UAS that is a helicopter and the exemption requests authority to operate at altitudes up to 400 AGL, or not more than 200 above an elevated platform from which filming is planned, an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As set forth herein, the UAS will never operate at higher than 400 AGL with the exception that in circumstances where the UAS is used to survey or photograph a structure whose height exceeds 400 feet AGL, the UAS will not be operated more than 200 feet above the highest point on the structure. It will however be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre obtained consent. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the UAS as well as the location where it is operated. No flight will be taken without the permission of the property owner or local officials. Because of the advance notice to the property owner and participants in the filming activity, all affected individuals will be aware of the planned flight operations. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft weighting far more than the maximum SSibs. Proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently presented with conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 AGL. In addition, the low altitude operations of the UAS will ensure separation between these UAS operations and the operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with Section 91.119. 14 C.F.R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings. This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by reference to an altimeter that is set
.....to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure
... As the UAS may not have a barometric altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an U.S. exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved bythe operator, pursuant to the safety check list and live flight data monitoring, confirming the altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. 14 C.F.R. § 91.151 (a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions Section 91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning 11

## a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes. 11 

## The applicant

## believes that an exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 (a) falls within the scope of prior exemptions. Operating the UAS in a tightly controlled area where only people and property owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed does not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed of the small UAS. The applicant believes that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 30 minutes or 25% of battery power- whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the UAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area.
14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration The regulation provides in pertinent part: (a) Except as provided in§ 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the following: (1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate
... (b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. The UAS fully loaded weighs well under the proposed 55 lb limit and is operated without an onboard pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry certification and registration documents or to display them on the UAS. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to them, to the extent they are applicable to the UAS.
14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1 ); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) 

# &(b): Maintenance Inspections. These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner 11

## Shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 ofthis chapter
..,11 

## and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given that these sections and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished bythe operator pursuant to the flight manual and operating handbook. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the UAS is very limited in size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for a limited period of time. If mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL. The operator will ensure that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accordance with the UAS Manufacturer's User Manual. As provided in the

## FOM, and a link on last page, the operator will ensure that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight and perform required maintenance needed. Authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701 Additional Information. The applicant 

## Mark League believes this exemption request and associated safety considerations adequately satisfy criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012, providing sufficientjustification for the granting of commercial operations of the applicant's UAS.

The applicant, 

## Mark League requests your respective approval of this Section 333 exemption petition request. And believes it would be in the public Interest on my exemption to further educate and the safety of flying UAVs.

### 1.1 Built-in Flight Control9jstem Instructions The built-in flight control system is used to control the entire aircraft' sfunctions in flight such as Pitch (forwards and backwards}, Roll (left and right), Bevator (up and down) and YfNo/ (turn left or right). The flight controller containsthe MC (Main Controller), IMU, GPS. compass, receiver. The IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) has a built-in inertial sensor and a barometric altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information which assists the GPS (Global Position System) to accurately calculate the aircraftsposition and height in order to lockthe aircraft in astable hover. The receiver is used to communicate with the remote controller and the MC acts as the brains of the complete flight control system connecting and controlling all the modulestogether. The PHANTOM 2 can be configured in the Assistant, by choosing Naza-M mode or Phantom 2 This manual is for Phantom 2 mode. Please refer to the Naza-M V2 Quick Sart Manual for information.

### 5 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sure to performthe CollllassCalibration procedures prior to thefirst flight. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which causes abnormal compass data and leads to poorflight performance or evenflight failure. Regular calibration ofthe compass enablesthe compassto perform at itsoptimal level. 

### 5.1 Calibration Warnings



# 0 < 1l DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a possibility for the existence of strong magnetic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcement

( 2) underground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones.

< 3) Compass Calibration isvery important; otherwisethe flight control systemwill work abnormally. 

### 5.2 Calibration Procedures Please carry out the calibrating procedures in the flight field before flight. Please watch the quickstart video of the PHANTOM 2for more compass calibration details.

### Flying Environment Reguirements ( 1 ) Before your first flight, please allow yourself some flight training (Using a flight simulator to practiceflying, getting instructionfrom an experienced person, etc.). ( 2) DO NOTfly in bad weather, such as rain orwind (more than moderate breeze) or fog. ( 3) The flying field should be open and void of tall buildings or other obstades; the steel structure within buildings

### may interferewiththe compass. ( 4) Keep the aircraft**~ay** from obstades, crowds, power lines,trees, lakesand rivers etc. ( 5) Try to avoid interference between the remote controller and other wireless equipment (No base stations or cell towers around). ( 6) The flight control systemwill not work properly at the South Pole or North Pole. ( 7) Never use the aircraft in a manner that infringes upon or contravenes international or domestic lays

### and regulations. 

### 6.2 Starting the Motors A Combination stick Command (COC) is used to start the motors. Push the sticks according to one of the options below to start motors. Once the motors have started, release both sticks simultaneously. The same COC is used to stop the motors.



### A B 

# c 0 Figure6-1

©20 13-2015 DJI.All Rights Reserved.24 1

# 0 You 9-IOULD NOT execute the COC during normal flight! This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to descend rapidlyand dropwithout anytype of control. ( 1) When the LED flight indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered into Failsafe mode, refer to <Failsafe Function>fordetails. ( 2) A low battery capacity warning is indicated by the LED flight indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during flight. Referto the <Low Battery CapacityWarning Function>for details. ( 3) Watch the quickstart video about flight for more flight information. ( 4) 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 more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. ( 5) When used with aH3-3D gimbal, aGoPro camera, and the iOSD mini, your Phantom 2will be very close to its maximum takeoff weight. It is not recommended that you attach the Phantom 2

### 6.4 Failsafe Function The aircraft will enter Failsafe mode when the connection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control systemwill automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to reduce injuries or damage. The following situationswould makethe aircraft fail to receive asignal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe mode: ( 1) The remote controller ispowered off. ( 2) The remote controller is powered on but the S1 is toggled in the position triggering the Failsafe (this must have been configured in the PHANTOM 2Assistant). ( 3) The aircraft hasflown out of the effective communication range ofth.e remote controller. ( 4) There is an obstacle obstructing the signal between the remote controller and the aircraft, essentially reducing the distancethe signal can travel. ( 5) There is interference causing asignal problemwiththe remote controller.
Failsafe works differently depending on the mode the aircraft is in when Failsafe mode is initiated whether it is in the Ready to Fly or Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode.

In Phantom 2 mode, userscan set anew home point manuallywhen the aircraft is in "Readyto fly" status as long as a home point has been recorded automatically. Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the remote controller from upper most to lower most positions 5timesor morewill reset the current aircraft position as anew home point of PHANTOM 2. When successfully reset, you will see aseries of rapid green blinks on the LED Flight Indicator. The definition of "home point" is: ( 1) The home point is the place PHANTOM 2 returns to when the control signal is lost, which is recorded last time.
