## Chapter 1 Before	Accepting	an Assignment

Define	the Objective When	discussing	a	possible	flight	with	a	client,	the	objective	for the flight	must	be	made	clear.	Both	the	client	and	PIC	must	be comfortable with	the	goals	and	limitations	of	the operation. What	is	the	footage	to	be	used	for?	What	kinds	of	shots	are required? From	what	distance,	at	what	focal	length	and	how	long	do	the shots need	to	be.	Can	you	remain	aloft	long	enough	to	get	the	required shots? If	the	client	requires	operations	that	our	UAV and	crew cannot reasonably	be	expected	to	undertake,	a	handoff	to	a	larger	UAV or manned	aircraft	is indicated.

UAV	Operational Limitations Company	UAVs	have	a	limited	flight	time,	maximum	payload	and limited camera	and	gimbal	functionality.	Flight operations	must	be designed within	the	limitations	of	the	aircraft	and accessories.

FAR	Procedural Limitations Statutory	regulations	for	UAV	operations	and	limitations	contained in the Grant	of	Exemption place multiple restrictions	on	flight	operations. During	initial	client consultations, these	limitations	must	be	clearly communicated.	If	the client’s requirements	exceed	any	of	these limitations,	the	operation	must either be	declined	or	modified	to comply	with	the	operating	restrictions	in the Grant	of	E xemption

.

Company	Operating Procedures Company	Operating	Procedures	as	outlined	in	this	manual	must be followed	to	insure	a	safe	environment	for	flight	operations	and comply with	the	terms	of	the Grant	of	Exemption

.Motion	Picture	and	Television	Operations	Manual	(MPTOM) Ap ri l 25 , 2015 Letter	of Agreement A signed	Letter	of	Agreement	must	be	obtained	prior	to	any flight operations.	The	letter	explains	the	company	policies	regarding safety, weather	minimums,	PIC	and	UAV	limitations	as	well	as	FAA operational restrictions.Motion	Picture	and	Television	Operations	Manual	(MPTOM) Ap ri l 25 , 2015 

## Chapter 2 Safety Consid erations Safety of N on--- Participants and Property The safety of no n --- participants and property is th e h ighest m ission priority. All operations m ust be conducted in such a m anner as to reduce the risk of injury or property da m age.

N on--- Participant Proxi m ity UAV flight closer th an 50 0 feet from non--- participants is pro h ibite d

. N on--- participants are per m itted closer tha n 50 0 feet provi d ed th ey are protected by structure tha t w ould co m pletely s h ield th em from a d irect UAV strike in the eve n t of an i n --- flight loss of contro l

. A car or house m ight provide s u ch protection.

Safety	of	Talent	and Crew Talent and Crew should be briefed that U AV operations will occur o n set before they accept their contract so that they have the opportunity to evaluate the risks before arriving on set. Before flight operations, the crew will be briefed on the safety proce du res by th e PIC. Additionally, before each flight, th e PIC will m ake a Safety A nno u nce m ent and explain the details of the flight as w ell as any e m ergency procedures. The los t
--- link recovery area w ill b e	clearly m arked and talent and crew will re m ain clear of this area during	flight operations. Environmental Factors The	PIC	has	the	sole	authority	for	the	safety	of	flight.	External factors must not	influence	the	PIC	to	undertake	a	flight	that	is	not	safe	or legal. Various	environmental	factors	will	determine	the	feasibility	of flight operations.		Wind,	including	gusty	conditions,	visibility,	rain, snow,Motion	Picture	and	Television	Operations	Manual	(MPTOM) Ap ri l 25 , 2015 darkness,	obstacles,	unsecu re	set	and	other	factors	must	be evaluated before	each flight. It	is	the	sole	duty	of	the	PIC	to	become	aware	of	all environmental factors	that	will	affect	the	safe	conduct	of	flight.	If	the	flight	cannot be safely	conducted	for	any	reason	whatsoever,	the flight	must	be delayed, aborted	or cancelled. National	Airspace Awareness The PIC will at all ti m es be co m pletely a ware of his locati o n within the N ational A irspace ( NA S). T his includes the planned or potential flight path of th e UAV under h is control, including th e flight path of a lo s t
--- link e m erge n cy procedure. Operation	in	Class	A	airspace	is	prohibited.	Operation	in	all other airspace	is	regulated	by	the	restrictions	specified	in	the Grant	of Exemption issued	by	the FAA. Additionally,	Fl ight	Operations	will	not	be	conducted	within the following	distances	from	airports	or heliports: 5	nautical	miles	(NM)	from	an	airport	having	an operational control	tower; or 3	NM	from	an	airport	with	a	published	instrument flight procedure,	but	not	an operational	tower; or 2	NM	from	an	airport	without	a	published	instrument flight procedure	or	an	operational	tower; or 2	NM	from	a	heliport	with	a	published	instrument flight procedure PIC	will	yield	right	of	way	to	all	other	aircraft	operating	in	the vicinity, manned	or unmanned. ForeFlight Software The	PIC	will	determine	his	position	in	the	NAS	using ForeFlight software.		A	current	subscription	must	be	maintained	on	the PIC’sMotion	Picture	and	Television	Operations	Manual	(MPTOM) Ap ri l 25 , 2015 handheld device,	which	must	contain	an	operating	GPS	or	other means of	determining	precise location. PIC	Personal Limits The PIC will be a ware of his o w n personal li m its. These li m its m ay inclu d e proxi m ity to structure or talent, low

--- level operations, perception of th e UAV in th re e --- di m ensional space, proposed speed or diffic u lty of m ane u vering flight or other factors. The PIC mu st only o p erate the UAV within the bo un daries of his p erso n al li m its a n d abilities. If there is a doubt, the PIC s h o u ld request a p ractice flight so th at a c om f

o rt le v el m igh t be establis h ed o r an alternate plan m ight be developed. PIC	Personal	Weather Minimums The PIC should not atte m pt a flight in w eather conditions that exceed	his personal m ini mum s. Wind conditi o n s in the la un ch a n d recovery	area are a pri m e consideration. These personal m ini m u m s should be established in advance using a handheld ane m o m eter to reduce the o n --- set “w ishful thinking” th a t often causes pilots to fly in co n ditions outside of their p ersonal li m itations, often with unfortunate results . IMSAFE Checklist The	PIC	should	refer	to	the	IMSAFE	checklist	below	before	any flight operations. Illness

## Chapter	3 Operational Limitations Daytime	Only Operations Flight operations will be conducted during daylight only as defined in the Grant	of	Exemption .	Nighttime	flight is prohibited.

VFR	Weather	Conditions Only Flight operations will be conducted with at least 3 statute miles visibility. Cloud	Clearance Minimums Flight operations will be conducted with the following VFR cloud clearance minimums: 500’ below, 2,000’ horizontal and 1,000 f eet above. Visual	Line	of	Sight (VLOS) Flight	operations	must	be	conducted	by	Visual	Line	of	Sight	(VLOS). The PIC	or	Visual	Observer	(VO)	may	not	use	any	device	other	than the corrective lenses	specified	on	the	PICs	Medical Certificate.
Maximum Altitude Flight O p eratio n s m ust be co n ducted at less than 400’ AG L. Altitude is calculated by the o n --- board Flight Controller Software usi n g GP S altitude calculations. T hese calculations reference the takeoff (and return point) altitude infor m ation. This infor m ati o n is stored auto m atically prior to flight. To	insure	compliance	with	the	400’AGL	restriction,	and	to	provide an additional	level	of	safety,	the	maximum	altitude	setting	in	the Flight Controller	Software	shall	be	set	to	100	meters	(328	feet).		This	will notMotion	Picture	and	Television	Operations	Manual	(MPTOM) Ap ri l 25 , 2015 allow	the	PIC	to	command	a	climb	above	328’AGL.	This altitude restriction	remains	in	effect	during	a	lost	control	link	event	since the Flight	Controller Software	is	located	on	board	the UAS.

Maximum	Horizontal	Distance	from	the PIC The Grant of Exemption specifies VLOS as the only horizontal flight restriction. Company Policy is to set the maximum horizontal distance in	the	Flight	Controller	Software	to 200	Meters	(656	feet)	during normal operations. This provides an additional level of safety and mitigates the possibility of radio frequency interference or loss of signal strength from	the transmitter. Maximum Speed The	maximum	speed	for	Flight Operations	is	100	MPH	(87	Knots). The PIC	should	never	operate	the	UAV	at	a	speed	at	which	positive	control of the	aircraft	is	in	question.		Additionally,	the	UAV	must	not	be operated at	a	speed	in	excess	of	the	manufacturer’s recommendations.
