Article 333 (UAS) amended response to denial of relief filed in 

December of 2014.

11.81 additional information response:

(b) After review of 14 CFR, I do not see the applicable 

exemption section for relief for UAS operation outlined in my 

original article 333 request. Relief from commercial use does 

apply.

(c) Relief requested is for the commercial use financial

compensation to the 501c3 non-profit education program 

sponsored by STEM Magazine in exchange for teaching and 

demonstration purposes. In addition, I seek relief from 

compensation restrictionsfor providing UAS overview of 

construction sites for broad identification of safety concerns on 

site so they may be addressed during the course of the 

construction process preventing avoidable injury to personnel 

and property. This may include both commercial and residential

construction.
*Reason for relief. Currently commercial use and compensation 

for services is denied by FAA policy.

(d) STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)

education and emerging careers in the UAS industry are of 

direct concern and interest to the community / students K-16 in 

preparation for career choices and necessary pre-requisites

scholastically as well as FAA compliance.

On campus instruction is valuable for community awareness of 

the technology and the presentations of UAS industry 

opportunities as well as safety guidelines already in place by 

this operator for safe and responsible use.

(e) Safety: As a pilot for 28 years and nearly 3,000 hours of safe 

UAS operation, this operator is ideally suited to address, 

exercise and encourage the highest levels of responsible use 

and safety procedures. Specific and comprehensive pre-flight 

and flight safety procedures and policies are outlined in the 

original article 333 request submitted December 2014 and 

again attached. All current FAA guidelines (line of sight, 

altitude, airspace restrictions, public safety, proximity to 

persons and property are strictly complied with.

(f) Summary:

1. STEM Magazine seeks exemption from restrictions on 

commercial use and compensation for educational instruction 

and awareness of UAS career opportunities and FAA guidelines

for responsible and legal operation. (specific section of 14 CFR 

not known for UAS application)
2. The comprehensive education program provided by STEM 

Magazine to K-16 educators and students deserves 

compensation for education presentations and safety projects 

(construction sites) as a result of this operator’s extensive 

knowledge, use, safety and influence within the emerging UAS 

industry.

3. The emerging UAS industry and UAS operations would 

benefit greatly from a mature, responsible flight professional

who shows both a proven track record of experience, safety

and FAA compliance serving as an example to others and a 

resource for conscience behavior within the UAS industry.

(g) As a pilot with 28 years of flawless performance and 3000 

hours of event free UAS operation, this operator is not only 

competent for receive commercial and education relief, but will 

also serve as an example and resource of responsible safety 

precautions, use and obedient compliance of current and 

future FAA guidelines.

(h) No foreign use is requested.

The UAS in question is an S-800 EVO multi-rotor, under 40 lbs., 

with GPS flight access, remote safety electronics including 

automatic flight abort to automated return landing to point of 

origin.
