## MARI HARSAN STUDIOS, LLC ’S PETITION FOR SECTION 333 EXEMPTION

M ari Harsan Studios, LLC

Overview

M ari Harsan Studios, LLC (hereinafter “ MHS ”) is a Fort Washington, Maryland, based company

specializing in a erial imagery, photography, videography , and cinematography

. MHS caters to

individuals in need of wedding photography and cinematography services , as well as customers in

need of event photography and videography.

A s detailed below, MHS will only allow c ommercial sUAS operations of the DJI Inspire 1 by

certificated airmen, holding at the bare minimum a sport pilot certificate. Currently, Mrs. Mariana

Bucur own s and operates Mari Harsan Studios, LLC. Through the careful oversight and tutelage

of Mrs. Bucur , MHS will ensure that all sUAS flight operations are conducted in the safest possible

manner. To that end, MHS will comply with any flight or atmospheric condition limitations

sUAS flight operations will be conducted by a licensed airmen, holding at the minimum, a Sport

Pilot Certificate and valid U.S. Driver’s License.

B ased upon MHS ’s intended use and proposed flight operations and conditions limitations

, MHS

would like an exemption from the following Federal Aviation Regulations ( F.A.R.s) to

commercially operate the DJI Inspire 1 : 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c); 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4)

and (5) ; 14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a); 14 C.F.R. §61.315(a) ; 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c) ;

C.F.R. §§ 91.409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b).

M ari Harsan Studios, LLC sUAS Model

M HS ’s requested exemption from the above specified F.A.R.s will allow for MHS ’s use of the

DJI Inspire 1 for commercial operations pertaining to aerial imagery, photography, videography,

and cinematography within the United States of America. This sUAS model is either similar to, or

the same as, sUAS model s that the FAA has already granted exemption for in similar commercial

flight operations

. For example, the FAA has already granted Section 333 exemption s to other

commercial s UAS operators with similar sUAS make and model s fo r similar commercial flight

operations in Exemption Numbers 1 1784A (see Docket No. FAA−201 5

− 0288 ), 11458 (see Docket

No. FAA -2015-0257), 11112 (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), 11 461 (see Docket No.

FAA−201 5

− 0270), and 12376 (see Docket No. FAA –2015–1965 ).

T he DJI Inspire 1 is a q uad

- copter sUAS model capable of providing hover flight in both the

vertical and horizontal planes. As such, this sUAS model provides excellent maneuverability and

ease of control for the PIC. The ease wi th which a PIC can control this sUAS model is evidenced

by the fact that the sUAS model is commercially available for RC hobbyists, requiring no training

or experience prior to flight.

F urthermore, the DJI Inspire 1 additionally provide s excellent situational awareness for the PIC

. The sUAS model allow s the PIC to determine the exact altitude of the sUAS via GPS technology

and monitoring. In addition, this sUAS model provides the PIC with the ability to monitor the

## available remaining battery life, allowing the PIC to make informed , safe decisions regarding the

duration and continuation of a particular flight.

MHS ’s primary objective with each commercial flight is the safe return of the sUAS without injury

to property or person. T he DJI Inspire 1 incorporate s unique operating modes that provide for the

safe return of the sUAS should the PIC experience a loss of signal connectivity between the sUAS

model’s transmitter and receiver. The DJI Inspire 1 incorporates three safe modes in such a

situation: Failsafe, R eturn to Home, and Dynamic Home Point. As such, the DJI Inspire 1 will

guide the sUAS back to a predetermined, safe landing zone should the sUAS experience issues.

Please see the User Manuals for both the DJI Inspire 1 for more information regarding these safe

modes.

Given the nature of this particular sUAS, MHS ’s requested exemption from various F.A.R.s will

neither adversely affect the public’s safety nor create a hazard to users of the National Airspace

System (NAS) or pose a threat to national securit y. Moreover, MHS ’s use of this sUAS model for

the above described commercial operations will replace the need for fixed winged or rotorcraft

aircraft with regards to these services.

By replacing fixed winged or rotorcraft aircraft with sUAS models, the p ublic will benefit in

several ways. For example, the use of this sUAS model provides significant reductions in the risk

of injury to property or person should the sUAS require an emergency landing. T he DJI Inspire 1

is lightweight, powered by batteries, an d carries no passengers. By comparison, fixed winged or

rotorcraft aircraft, which weigh thousands of pounds, carry flammable fuels, and passengers, have

been known to cause serious injury or death to passengers and bystanders during emergency

landings. Th e use of this particular sUAS model for aerial imagery, photography, and videography

will substantially benefit the public from a safety standpoint.

the following flight and atmospheric conditions limitations when performing commercial flight

operations with the DJI Inspire 1 :

1. MHS will not operate the sUAS model when weighing more than 55 pounds,

including payload.

2. MHS will not operate the sUAS model at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles

per hour). MHS will use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine

compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction.

3. MHS will not operate the sUAS model at an altitude of more than 400 feet above

ground level (AGL). MHS will monitor altitude in feet AGL via GPS technology

and monitoring

.

4. MHS will only operate the sUAS model within VLOS of the PIC at all times. MHS

will require the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other

than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

- issued airman medical

certificate or U.S. driver’s license.

5. MHS requires the utilization of a visual observe r (VO) on all commercial sUAS

flights. The sUAS model will be operated within VLOS of the PIC and VO at all

times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC

always maintains VLOS capability. MHS requires that the VO and PIC be able to

communicate verbally at all times. MHS does not permit electronic messaging or

texting during flight operations. MHS requires the sUAS PIC to be designated

before the flight and does not allow transfer of his or her designation during the

flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO.

6. MHS requires that all operating documents (defined as the granted exemption and

all documents needed to operate the UAS model and conduct its operat ions in

accordance with all grants conditions and limitations) must be accessible during

sUAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon reasonable request.

Administrator or any law enforcement official up on reasonable request.

21. MHS requires that during all flights, the sUAS model PIC remain clear and give

way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.

22. MHS prohibits the PIC of any sUAS model from operating the sUAS model from

any moving device or vehicle.

23. MHS requires all flight operations of all sUAS models to be conducted at least 500

feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating

persons from the sUAS and/or debris in the event of an accident. MHS will

ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a

situation arises where nonpartic ipating persons leave such protection and

are within 500 feet of the sUAS, MHS requires flight operations to cease

immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons;

and

b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures ha s granted

permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a

activity require aerial based photographic and video imagery , i mages taken will be of individuals

who have consented to being photographed/ filmed or otherwise have agreed to be in th e area where

.

PUBLIC INTEREST AND SAFETY

Unlike traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft, the use of the DJI Inspire 1 for aerial imagery,

photography, videography, and cinematography promotes public interest and safety. Whereas

traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft are large, heavy, noisy, require flammable fuels and

manned operators (placing the pilot’s life in jeopardy should there be an emergency), this sUAS

model is small, light, quite, and do not require flammable fuels or a manned operator (i.e. not

risking human life for the purpose of operation).

The use of MHS ’s DJI Inspire 1 also benefits the public from a safety perspective since this sUAS

model do es not run on fossil fuels. Since this sUAS model is battery powered, its use over the

traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft will be more environmentally and ecologically friendly.

In addition to the non

- use of flammable fuels , given the extreme light ness of this sUAS model

, should an emergency result in a forced landing, injury to property or persons would be negligible

compared to the catastrophic injury to property or persons that would result in an emergency

landing of a traditional fixed wing or r otorcraft aircraft.

Apart from the added safety benefits of sUAS flight operations, the use of the DJI Inspire 1 for the

above noted aerial based applications creates new economic opportunities that could fuel the

continued growth of aviation and aviation related interests. Consequently, the public will benefit

from the use of this sUAS model for commercial purposes as companies like MHS w ill provide

new jobs and economic opportunities, fueling innovation and creativity.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Mari Harsan Studios, LLC

Page 13 of 15 

## REGULATIONS FROM WHIC H EXEMPTION IS REQUESTED

14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c): Medical Certificates Requirement and Duration

MHS requests exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c) which provides for certain flight

operations requiring medical certificates. MHS ’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent

level of safety in that MHS would require a DJI Inspire 1 PIC to hold either a current medical

certificate, of any class, or a valid U.S. Driver’s License. MHS ’s petition for exemption provides

an equivalent l evel of safety as provided in 14 C.F.R. §§61.23(a) and (c).

14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5): Recreational Pilot Privileges and Limitations ; 14 C.F.R. §

61.113(a): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command ; and 14 C.F.R.

§61.315(a): Wha t Are The Privileges and Limits of My Sport Pilot Certificate?

MHS requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.101(e)(4) and (5) which prohibits recreational

pilots from receiving compensation for hire or providing flight services in furtherance of a

business, respectively. In addition, MHS requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a), which

prohibits a certificated private pilot from receiving compensation or flying for hire when acting as

PIC ; and from 14 C.F.R. §61.315(a), which provides the holder of a sport pilot certificate may

only act as pilot in command of a light

- spo rt aircraft.

MHS ’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety in that MHS requires the DJI

Inspire 1 PIC, at the bare minimum, to hold the privileges of a sport pilot certificate under 14

C.F.R. §61 Subpart J, hold either a medical certificate or valid U.S. Driver’s License, and to

demonstrate proficiency in the PIC’s ability to safely operate the sUAS mo del in a manner

consistent with how the sUAS will be operated under this petition for exemption.

Distinct comparisons between the commercial activities of MHS and other business es operating

traditional fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft expose the unnecess ary limitations placed upon sport,

recreational and private certificated pilots when considering PIC privileges of commercial sUAS

flight operations. Whereas requiring pilots of traditional fixed wing and rotorcraft aircraft to hold

commercial and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) ratings ensures that the pilots possess the necessary

skills, training and experience to safely transport persons and/or cargo from the point of departure

to the intended point of destination, the same correlation for sUAS pilots and should not apply to

the sUAS flight operations of MHS

.

In the case of MHS ’s sUAS flight operations, no persons or third

- party cargo will be carried by

the sUAS model during MHS ’s aerial based commercial operations . Unlike traditional fixed wing

or rotorcraft aircraft, which must traverse over a greater distance, greater amount of property, and

a greater amount of people in order to get from the point of departure to the intended point of

destination, MHS ’s sUAS wil l only fly over property authorized by MHS ’s clients. In other words,

the sUAS model will not have to originate flight from a different location and traverse over the

properties of disinterested parties in order to fulfill the purpose of MHS ’s commercial f light

operations. As such, the risk of injury to disinterested parties is substantially decreased by the use

of a sUAS for aerial based commercial applications described within this petition

.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Mari Harsan Studios, LLC

Page 14 of 15 

## Consequently, MHS ’s requirement that the sUAS PIC hold, at least, a sport pilot certificate

provides an equivalent level of safety to the requirement that a commercial or ATP rated pilot

transport persons and/or cargo for hire in manned aircraft.

14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness

M HS requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.7(a) which prohibits the operation of civil aircraft

unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for MHS ’s

DJI Inspire 1 model

, no standard will exist for determining airworthiness. In any event, MHS ’s

proposed Flight Conditions and Operating Procedure will ensure an equivalent level of safety with

14 C.F.R. §91.7(a).

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitude: General

MHS requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R §91.1 19(c) which provides that except when necessary

for takeoff or landing, no person may operate an aircraft below an altitude of 500 feet above the

surface. Furthermore, this section provides that an aircraft may not be operated closer than 500

feet to any p erson, vessel, vehicle, or structure. MHS ’s petition requests that the DJI Inspire 1 be

flown at an altitude no higher than 400 feet AGL and, when complying wi th the conditions set

forth in § 23(b) of MHS ’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures, at dis tances closer than 500

feet from any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

The requirement that the DJI Inspire 1 maintain 400 feet or less AGL helps ensure that signal

connectivity between the transmitter and receiver will not be lost. In addition, this height restriction

ensures that the PIC will be able to maintain VLOS while simultaneously limiting the possibility

of the sUAS model ’ s interference with other NAS traffic. Moreover, this requirement ensures at

least 100 feet of vertical separation between sUAS commercial operators and manned aircraft

operating within the NAS.

Traditional principles requiring a 500 foot AGL minimum for fixed

- wing or rotorcraft airc raft

stemmed from a desire to protect the public should the need for a forced landing arise due to an

unforeseen emergency situation or loss of power. These same co ncerns are not present with MHS ’s

sUAS model as they are extremely lightweight and small . An y injury to property or person would

be negligible when compared to the catastrophic damage that a fixed wing or rotorcraft aircraft

would inflict due to a forced landing. Consequently, MHS ’s Flight Conditions and Operating

Procedures provide for an equiva lent level of safety when compared to 14 C.F.R §91.119(c).

14 C.F.R. §91.121: Altimeter Settings

MHS requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.121 which provides guidelines for the use of

altimeter settings while operating an aircraft. MHS ’s petition for exemption provides an equivalent

level of safety such that the DJI Inspire 1 PIC will be able to dete rmine the AGL height of the

sUAS model due to GPS technology. The AGL height of the sUAS will be displayed for the PIC

during all flight oper ations. As such, the PIC will be able to maintain the requirement that the

sUAS models fly no higher th an 400 feet AGL during all flight operations.

### Petition for Section 333 Exemption

Mari Harsan Studios, LLC

Page 15 of 15 

## 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1): Fuel Requirements For Flight In VFR Conditions

MHS requests exemption from 14 C.F.R. §91.151(a)(1) which provides that no person may begin

a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions with less than 30 minutes of reserve fuel. MHS ’s

petition for exemption provides an equivalent level of safety due to MHS ’s prohibition against the

PI C from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is

enough available power for the sUAS model to conduct the intended operation and to operate after

that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.

Given the design and technology of the DJI Inspire 1, MHS ’s PIC will have access to all relevant

information concerning the sUAS model’ s battery life. The PIC will be able to make an accurate

determination as to whether the PIC can comply with MHS ’s “fuel” requirements for each flight.

Consequently, MHS ’s Flight Conditions and Operating Procedures provide for an equivalent level

of safety w hen compared to 14 C.F.R §91.151(a)(1).

14 C.F.R. §91.405(a): Maintenance Required ; 14 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1): Operation After

Maintenance, Preventative Maintenance, Rebuilding, Or Alteration ; 14 C.F.R. §§

91.409(a)(1) and (2): Inspections ; 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b): Maintenance Records

MHS requests exemption from the following F.A.Rs: 14 C.F.R. §91.405(a)

, which provides the

owner or operator of aircraft shall have the aircraft inspected pursuant to Subpart E of 14 C.F.R;

14 C.F.R. §91.407(a)(1)

, w hich provides that no person may operate any aircraft having undergone

preventive maintenance unless approved for return to service by a person authorized under §43.7;

14 C.F.R. §§91.409(a)(1) and (2)

, which provides that no person may operate an aircraft within

the preceding 12 calendar months unless an annual inspection has been performed; and 14 C.F.R.

§§91.417(a) and (b)

, which provides for the recording of an aircraft’s maintenance if the aircraft

holds an airworthiness certificate.

MHS ’s petition fo r exemption provides an equivalent level of safety since MHS ’s require s

compliance with the sUAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and

life limit requirements for the DJI Inspire 1. Due to the nature of a sUAS, compliance with certain

maintenance requirements under Subpart E of 14 C.F.R. are either impossible or cost prohibitive

to implement when applied to a sUAS. As such, MHS should be exempt from these regulations as

MHS ’s Flight C onditions and Operating Procedures provide for an equivalent level of safety when

compared to these F.A.R.s

System and the Intelligent Flight Battery.

# Aircraft

Flight Controller

The I nspire 1 's fl ight con t r oller is based on OJI flight contr o ll er with several enhancements such as new

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are avai l ab l e: F ai l safe, Return Home and Dynamic

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is l ost. A flight

recorder stores cruci a l flight data for each flight.



## Flight Mode

Three flight modes are ava i l able. The deta i l s of each flight mode are found in the section below :

P mode ( P os i t i o nin g ) : P mode works best when GPS signa l is s t rong. There are three different states of P

mode, which will be automatically se l ected by the Inspire 1 depending on G P S signal strength and Vision

Positioning sensor s :

P- GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning i s ava i l able but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using on l y Vision

Positioning fo r hovering

P- ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning avai l able, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so on l y a l titude is contr o ll ed.

A mode (Attit u de ) : The G PS and Vision Positioning System is not used for ho l ding position. The a i rcratt

on l y uses i ts ba r omet e r to ma i ntain a lt itude. I f it is st i ll r eceiving a G P S s i gn a l

, the aircraft ca n automa t i ca ll y

r et u rn home if t h e R e m o t e Co n t ro ll er signa l is l os t and i f t he Ho m e Po i n t has been recorded successf u ll y.

F mode (Function): I n t e ll i gen t Or i e n ta ti on Co n tr o l ( IO C ) i s ac ti vated in t h i s mode. For mo r e i nformat i on

about I OC, re f e r t o th e I OC in Appen d i x.

### Low Battery RTH

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJIIntelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately

when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point

when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is

taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its

distance from the Home Point.

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the

landing process.

The Battery Level Indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below

### Low Temperature Notice:

1. The performance of the intelligent Flight Battery is significantly reduced when flying in a low

temperature environments (those with air temperatures below S°C). Ensure that the battery is fully

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.43 V before each flight.

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperature environments (those with air

temperatures below

- 1 0°C) is not recommended. When flying in environments with temperatures

between 

# soc and

- 10°C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to achieve the appropriate voltage

levels (above 4.2 V), but it is recommended that you apply the included insulation sticker to the battery

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures.

3. If the DJI Pilot app displays the "Critical Low Battery Level Warning" when flying in low temperature

environments, stop flying and land the aircraft immediately. You will still be able to control the aircraft's

movement when this warning is triggered

.

4. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that its temperature

exceeds 

# soc before using it in the low temperature environment.

5. When using the Inspire 1 in a low temperature environment, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a

low altitude, for approximately one minute, to heat the battery.

6. To ensure optimum performance. keep the Intelligent Flight Battery's core temperature above 20°C

when in use.



# 6 In cold environments, insert the battery into the battery compartment and allow the aircraft to

warm up for approximately 1

- 2 minutes before taking off.



### Checking the battery level

The Battery Level Indicators display how much remaining power the battery has. When the battery is

powered off, press the Power Button once. The Battery Level Indicators will light up to display the current

battery level. See below for details.

# c;Lb Fmode

A mode

Pmode

P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision

Positioning sensors:

P

- GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P

- OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision

Positioning for hovering

P

- ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so only altitude is controlled.

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app,

enter the "Camera· page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode"

### No

- Fly Zones

All No

- Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no

- fly. No

- Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites.

The details of the No

- Fly Zones are explained below:

Airport:

(1) Airport No

- Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted

- Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various size.

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff

Restricted Zone, inside of which take

- off and flight is prevented.

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640

feet (500 meters) at R 1 + 1 mile.

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No

- Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

in the OJI Pilot app.INSPIRE 1 User Manu a l
