RE: Amendment to Exemption No. 12675 Is sued Under Section 333 of the F ederal A viation A dministration (FAA) Reform Act and Part 11 in Regulatory Docket No. FAA

- 2015

- 0883 of the Federal Aviation Administration Regulations

Dear Sir or Madam: Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the “Reform Act” or “Section 333”), Subsection (f) of 49 U.S.C. § 44701 , and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Drone Services Hawaii, LLC (DHS) seeks an amendment to Exemption No. 12675 for the purpose to o perate , e ducate , and have access to 324 additional small Unmanned Airc raft S ys tems Approved by F ederal Aviation A dministration (FAA) c urrentl y

. See Attachment 1 for the list of approved sUAS by FAA and grant ed exemption

. The State of Haw aii, county government a gencies, i ndustry partners, and granted 333 exemption holders are inquiring which sUAS are approved

. This is accruing more frequently because of D HS efforts of outreach and education of the general public on sUAS within the State of Hawaii. There is no sUAS with the ability to do
every thing . However, with the acces s of a more extensive lis t DSH can fit the r ight sUAS for the

c lient and there specific mission

. On August 31 , 2015, the FA A issued Exemption No. 1 2675 to DHS to allow it to operate the DJ I Inspire 1 sUAS for commercial photography and video
, e ducation, product training and d emonstration . Our first goal is to help introduce s UAS into certain departments of government

. The s econd goal is to educate Hawaii’s general public, and students of all ages participating in Science Technology

Engineering and Math (“STEM”) programs

. Earl y awareness and education on UAS s afet y will have a major impact on the overall future of our youth and the ability to operate these s UAS in a professional manner. Responsible and respectful s UAS flying is the

c orner stone of our company and our highest priority

.So far we have exceed ed our projected goals in r eaching our local communities, county and state government agencies, and our department of e ducation

. DSH has been working with Honolulu Control Facility

Support manager Darrel Hood his contact number is ( 808)840

- 6121 . W e have been conducting exercises executing sUAS flight operations. Ocean s afet y on the island of Oahu will be the first department to intergrade the use of drones for public safety with shark sightings and attacks

. Providing e ducation on the 3D’s ( D angerou s, Dirt y and Dull) jobs are the first indicators when to use sUAS’s. The State o f Hawaii and its local c ount y departments have realized the benefit s of using sUASs to enhance the efficiency and accuracy

when dealing with public health and safet y

. This wi ll be a win

- win for our residents as well as for our visitors. The attraction of Hawaii’s beautiful mountain to ocean views and its abundance of activities have created man y challenges for our first responders to search, plan, and rescue those in need of help. The diversity

of different sUAS’s will help with the limitations of only one ty pe trying to fit for all occasions.

This requested amendment will allow DSH to operate , educate , and the ability to have access on 324 different t ypes of sUAS using the same reasons and conditions stated in the initial exemption granted

. Therefore, we are not asking for operational changes or conditions we are only looking to add more units to our sUAS list. Th ere has also been no other change relative to public interest and safet y which was the basis for granting the original exemption on August 31, 2015

.

The availability of more sUAS is to enhance the fit process for getting the right sUAS for the mission , and to do it in an effective and ef ficient manner

. The highest level of safet y for the public
, individual, environment , and National Air Space (NAS ) is of the outmost importance. Having such a list with variet y gives DSH the ability to continue education on safet y and technology for the future of the industry and for the people of the State of Hawaii. Being isolated in the Pacific Ocean DSH is in the position to stay ahead of the curve and be a local resource for our community

as well as for our government agencies as FAA i s sett ing rules and regulations for this growing industry

**– FAA Approved List of sUAS**  **DSH General**  **Statement**

Operations pursuant to the exemption will be subject to strict operating requirements and conditions to ensure at least an equivalent level of safet y to currentl y authorized operations using manned aircraft and under the same conditions as pe rmitted b y the FAA in Exemption No. 12646

. ALL models are powered electrically via s mall lithium poly

mer batteries that drive elec tric motors/propellers. These h ave extensive automated control features, redundant sy stems, integrated fail

- safes, and they will be op erated under controlled conditions at low altitudes in airspace that is limited in scope.

**Exemptions Requested** DSH respectfully

requests exemptions from the f ollowing regulations previously granted b y the FAA in Exemption No. 12675 : 14 C.F.R. Part 21 Subpart H 14 C.F.R. § 21.191(a) 14 C.F.R. § 45.23(b) 14 C.F.R. § 45.27 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113(a) and (b) 14 C.F.R. § 91.l 19(c) 14 C.F.R. § 91.121 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a) 14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a) 14 C.F.R. § 91.407(a) (l) 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.409(a) (l) and (2) 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.417(a) and (b).

**Airwor thiness**  To maintain airworthiness, DSH will follow the inspection and maintenance programs designed specificall y for All 324 sUAS by their manufacturers. Those programs are enhanced by inflight monitoring sy ste ms, monitor current p osition, wind speed, direction, battery charge, flight time, altitude, including both above the takeoff location and above sea lev el. If onboard sensors detect

a critical situation at an y time (low battery , close proximity to the ground, weak data link signal, etc.) the aircraft will automatically initiate a preprogrammed sa fety procedure, i n the event of
any malfunction return to home or land. DSH will undergo all maintenance required b y the manufacturers
, and undergo flight testing before reco mmencing commercial operations. The proof of g ood cause exists to favor and grant DSH an amendment to their Exemption No. 12675

. Therefore, it is in the public ’ s best interest based on the clear direction in Section 333, the Federal Aviation Act, the high and equivalent level of safet y of the proposed operatio ns, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed and limited operating area associated wi th sUAS

. DSH
respe ctfull y requests that the FAA grant an expedited amendment to o perate , educate, and haveaccess to the 324 additional small Unmanned Airc raft S ys tems a pproved . Please see attachment 1 for a list of currentl y approved sUAS by FAA and granted exemption Numb er 12646.

Respectfully

submitted,

Mike Elliott George K. Purdy IVAttachment 1

Granted Exemption No. 12646

List of sUAS DSH would like to have access to for the benefit of the State of Hawaii in overall Safety these sUASs can provide under the right education and demonstration.
