jSteel Design, LLC is seeking exemption in order to operate small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) for commercial purposes while complying with FAA regulations. The requested exemption would permit the operation of small, unmanned sUAS under controlled conditions in the NAS that is 1) limited 2) predetermined 3) controlled as to access. Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation’s (the FAA Administrator’s) responsibilities to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system.” Section 333(c) of the Reform Act.

The sUAS aircraft used in these commercial operations will be the DJI Inspire 1. The specific specifications for this particular aircraft can be found here for reference: http://www.dji.com/product/inspire-1/info#specs

Commercial purposes include : Aerial videography and photography operations for commercial, public and residential use, including but not limited to: real estate, weddings and other special events, automotive dealerships, construction site exception and monitoring, home inspections, aerial mapping and surveying, golf courses, railroad and bridge inspections, sporting events, agricultural and conservation research, local promotional marketing material, closed-set filming for the motion picture, television, and web production.The use of sUAS technology for these commercial purposes positively effect the public interest. Human life is not required on board sUAS which reduces risk of manned aircraft accidents, environment emissions are reduced, and new emerging markets help increase local economies.

The aircraft will be registered in accordance with Section 44711 and Part 47 and Part 45, Subpart C.

Until any future rules regarding the the Pilot in Command (PIC) dictate otherwise, jSteel Design, LLC will comply with the the current rules that the FAA has set forth stating that the PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate, as well as a valid driver’s license, and also meets the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. jSteel Design, LLC will require background checks, UAS training and test fl ights of all PIC before any commercial fl ights take place, and will conduct all fl ights in accordance with the FAA standards and regulations set forth by the exemption.

The minimum crew for each commercial operation will consist of the sUAS Pilot, and the Visual Observer. Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders or property representatives will be obtained.

jSteel Design, LLC respectfully requests that the FAA grant its exemption within it’s authority pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, 85 P.L. 726 (1958).
