BACKGROUND Unmanned Aircraft Systems: DJI Phantom 3, UAS AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks an exemption to operate DJI Phantom 3 system for compensation or hire wit hin the NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 is vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft (UA) with a Ground Control Station (GCS) utilizing electronic tablet or smart phone systems. The DJI Phantom 3 has a maximum gross weight of approximately 2.8 lb. while having a diagonal dimension of 23.2”, a maximum speed of approximately 16.4’fps and a maximum flying height of 400'. The DJI Phantom 3 is equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electric motors.

The DJI Phantom 3 that wil l be operated by AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will be registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft , as well as 14C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration , and marked in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 45, Identification and Registrati on Marking

.

BASIS FOR PETITION Petitioner, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain Unma nned Aircraft Systems , hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 3, UAS in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a)

, 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b). In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS operation of
DJI Phantom 3 UAS meets th e conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Accordingly, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a )(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness

certificate. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety w ill be ensured. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will use experienced personnel or technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Mo nthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will
document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 UAS. Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Pri vate pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command , is requested by AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as an airman medical certificate, an d who has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight

- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness , because the DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require an airworthiness

certificate in accordance with 14 C .F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that they will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS is in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UAS are in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., M onthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual), and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight.

AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS also seeks an exemption from the requirements ofSection 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings , as the DJI P hantom 3 UAS will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlink s from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS within visual line of sight, at or below 400 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safet y equivalent to Section 91.121. Additionally, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions

. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that safety will not be af fected by operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of approximately 23 minutes. Battery power indicators are al so able to show exactly how much battery power is left, as well as how much time is needed to return safely back to point of take off. In accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 11.81, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS provides the following information in support of its pe tition for exemption:

C. The Extent Of R elief AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks And The

Reason AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks The Relief.

1. Extent Of Relief AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks And The Reason AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks Relief From Section 61.113(a) And (b).
Relief from S ection 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilotin command , is requested to the extent necessary to allow a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate , and who has met certain flight

- hour and currency requirements, to conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or hire. This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, f or compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. As s et forth more fully below, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that an equivalent level of safety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PIC has met certain flight

- hour and currency requirements, demo nstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate either the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as described in this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Further, The AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that all flights of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, conducted by the PIC pursuant to the grant of this Petition: (1) will be
incidental to AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s business; and (2) will not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

2. Extent Of Relief AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks And The Reason

AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks Relief From Section 91.7(a). Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civi l aircraft airworthiness , is requested to the extent required to allow AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS to determine that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are in airworthy condition prior to every flight by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documen ts (i.e., AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual). AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require an airworthiness

certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phanto m 3) prior to every flight, and further, determine that the aircraft are in condition for safe flight, as stated in the conditions and limitations
below.

3. Extent Of Relief AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks And The Reason

AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks Relief From Section 91.121. Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings, may be required to allow flight operations of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UA to the PIC at the ground control station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in feet above ground level (AGL), AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONSseeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 UA’s altimeter may be set on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitude, before each flight. Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations, relief from 14 CFR 91.121 is sought to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As more fully set forth herein, an equivalent level of safety will be

maintained since the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a ground level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information of the
UA on the heads

- up displ ay of the GCS.

4. Extent Of Relief AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks And The Reason

AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks Relief From Section 91.151(b). Relief from Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions, is requested to the extent required to allow flights of the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 23 minutes. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks the requested relief because without an exemption from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration of the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS pro poses to conduct pursuant to this Petition. Significantly, as set forth below, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, the DJI Phantom 3 operating documents, and AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s proposed operating limitations, ensure that AIR T IME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 23 minutes.

5. Exten t Of Relief AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks And The Reason The ALTEK MEDIA GROUP Seeks Relief From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS requests relief from these Sections because the DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJI Phantom 3

UAS me et the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, tec hniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, AIR TIME
DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will document and mai ntain all maintenance records for the
DJI Phantom 3 UAS. D. The Reasons Why Granting AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Request Would Be In The Public Interest; That Is, How It Would Benefit The Public As AWhole. Granting the present Petition will further the pu blic interest by allowing AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS to safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, events and civic landscape over certain
areas of the United States. Additionally, use of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, and provide significant benefits to the economy. Notably, the benefits of AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be realized without impli cating any privacy issues. 1. The Public Will Benefit From Decreased Congestion Of The NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. By reducing the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a DJI Phantom 3 UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the sa fety of life and property in the air and on the ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a reduction of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations. 2. The Public Will Benefit From The Safety And Efficiency Of The DJI Phantom 3

UAS. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, instead of manned aircraft, will greatly benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally cons cious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20

- 30 gallons per hour of leaded aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS, while re ducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAS are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJI Phantom 3 UAS to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air and on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew members located o nboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS (weighing approximately 2.8 pounds at their maximum gross weight with diagonal dimension of 23.2 inches, and with no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the gr ound, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of approximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacityof 180 gallons). 3. Performing Aerial Vi deo and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Will Benefit The Economy. In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such,

op eration of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will allow United States based companies, like AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS, to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the Environmental

Prote ction Agency (“EPA”) regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in order to remain competitive. Operating the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS is one such technology th at not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a
traditional manned aircraft. By operating the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, companies such as AIR TIME DESIG N PRODUCTIONS, can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved financial performance of U.S. companies, through

comme rcial use of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, provides a stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to remain competitive both in the United
States and abroad. 4. There Are No Privacy Issues. Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will not implicate any privacy iss ues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119. E. The Reasons Why Granting The Exemption Would Not Adversely Affect Safe ty, Or How The Exemption Would Provide A Level Of Safety At Least Equal To That Provided By The Rule From Which AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks Exemption. 1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Meet The Conditions Of The FAA

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333. In consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s operation
of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will c reate a hazard to users ofthe NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. Specifically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in part: (a) In General.

-- Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and not later than

180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and rulemaking required by section 332 of t his Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this Act. (b) Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

-- In making the determination under subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimum

-- (1) which types of unmanned aircraft systems, if any, as a result of their size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight do not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public or pose a threat to nation al security; and (2) whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1 ). (c) Requirements for Safe Operation.

-- If the Secretary determines under this section that certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such air craft systems in the national airspace system. In seeking this exemption, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS can operate safely in the NAS pursuant to FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics of the DJI Phan tom 3 UAS; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations. a. The Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Demonstrate Its Safe

Characteristics. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS does not create a hazard to users of the NAS or the p ublic, or otherwise pose a threat to national security considering its size, weight, speed, and operational capability. i. Technical Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 UAS. The technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are set forth by the DJI Pha ntom 3 User Manual, attached hereto as Appendix A. ii. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Global Positioning Modes Enable The UAS To Remain Within A Defined Operational Area. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS may be operated in both manual and global positioning flight
modes. A co mplete description of the flight and navigational modes of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS is provided at pages 11 of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manual attached hereto as Appendix A. iii. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Are Designed For Automatic Return To Home Point

Or Hover In The Event Of Loss Of The Control Link Or Navigation. When the Control Link is lost, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will remain stationary, in flight, for 3 seconds or more. If, after 3 seconds, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS does not reacquire

control link data from the GCS , the UAS will assume that the Control Link is lost and thewill return to the home position (i.e., failsafe mode) via GPS, and will descend to the takeoff position and shutdown.

A complete description of the Failsafe Functions of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS ar e set forth at pages 12 through 14 of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manual, attached hereto as Appendix

A. iv. The DJI Phantom 3 GCS And Its Operation. A complete description of the operation and specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 GCS and flight control software is provided at pages 23 through 29 of the DJI Phantom 3 User

Manual. DJI Phantom 3 User Manual is attached hereto as Appendix A. b. Flight Operations Of DJI Phantom 3 UAS Is Limited To The Line Of Sight Of A Certificated Pilot in Command With A Safety Obs erver. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS video production staff will be the only persons to act as a pilot in command (PIC) of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS. Additionally, a safety observer will assist him at all times during flight time. c. Flights Of DJI Phantom 3 UAS Will Be Conducted Pursuant To Specific Operating Limitations. In seeking this exemption, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS proposes to commercially operate DJI Phantom 3 UAS for the special purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas o f United States, pursuant to the following specific operating limitations. 1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption will be limited to the following aircraft described in the operating documents, rotorcraft UAS weighing less than 55 pounds maxim um gross weight: DJI Phantom 3 Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this
grant. 2. UAS operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the

purpo se of aerial video and photography. 3. The UAS may not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 20 knots. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), as indicated by the procedures specified in the operat ing documents unless a special request is made and approved by ATC. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in
feet AGL. 5. The UAS must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vis ion unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

- issued airman medical certificate. 6. The use of first person view (FPV) by the PIC or safety observer (SO) is not permitted. 7. All operations must utilize a safety obse rver (SO). The SO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The SO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times. Electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensurethat the SO can perform the functions prescribed in the operating documents. 8. The SO must not perform any other du ties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions and is not permitted to operate the camera or other instruments. 9. The operating documents and the grant of exemption must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limit ations contained in the grant of exemption take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s resp onsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to the grant of exemption. If the operat or determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the operator must petition for amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS

- 80) may be contacted if questions aris e regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 10. Prior to each flight the PIC must inspect the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS,

the ai rcraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Station must be included in the preflight inspection. All maintenance and alterations must be properly documented in the aircraft records. 11. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight. The P IC who conducts the functional test flight must make an entry in the aircraft records. 12. The pre

- flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, items, or equipment, not already covered in the relevant sections of the operating documents. 13. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements. 14. The operator must carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keepi ng requirements, in accordance with the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts must be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UAS to service. 15. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer Safety
Bulletins. 16. The authorized person must make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective

ac tion taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections. 17. The PIC must possess at least a private pilot certificate and at least a current third

-class medical certificate. 18. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC meets the operator’s qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs are permitted under the terms of the exemption. However, tra ining operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with a ppropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 91.119. 19. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 C.F.R. § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). If flight at night is required, a special request will be made at the FAA office closest to proposed area of operations. Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 20. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference poi nt as
denoted on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator’s COA. The letter of agreement with t he airport management must be made available to the Administrator upon request. 21. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.
22. If t he UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it must return to a pre

determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating documents. 23. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpred icted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents. 24. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended

lan ding point and land the UA with 25% battery power remaining. 25. The operator must obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. This COA will a lso require the operator to request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 48 hours prior to the operation. All operations shall be conducted in accordance with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA including class of airspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements. 26. All aircraft operated in accordance with the exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 47, and have identification (N

Number) m arkings in accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable. 27. Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation andcontrol of the UA must comply with the Federal Communications Commissio n (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 28. The documents required fewer than 14 C.F.R. 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the UAS is operating. These

documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official
upon request. 29. The UA must remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 30. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 31. Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons (persons other than the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons), vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or struct ures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating per sons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately and/or; b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted p ermission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard, and; c. Operations nearer to the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present

an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a). 32. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled

- access property with permission from the land owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from
land owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be

conducted. 33. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to
the FAA's UA S Integration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov. 2. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 61.113( a) And (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that the equivalent level of safety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PI C has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight

- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate dist ances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s proposed area of operations, and the operating limitations set forth

- above; the parallel nature of private pilot aeronauticalknowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 11062); and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s specific proposed flight operations. The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material re spects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will not allow any PIC to operate the D JI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight

- hour requirements or the DJI Phantom 3 UAS training and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner consistent with this
exempt ion, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of 5 hours of those hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption). In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and la ndings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). As in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s proposed operations. The Administrator has held that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: In Exemption No. 11062, the FAA requi red that prior to conducting operations for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi

- rotor UAS. Prior to operations under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption. For clarification, the FAA considers these minimum hour requirements to be inclusive rather than additive; i.e. 5 hours make and model time may be included in the 10 hours of multi

- rotor time and the 10 hours may be

included in the to tal 25 hours of UAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds that at a minimum, the flight

- hour requirements in Exemption No. 1106 2 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency in the skills necessary to safely conduct the petitioner’s proposed operations. The FAA also finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Training, proficiency, and experience

- buildingflights can also be conducted under the grant of exemption to accomplish the required flight time. During training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights the PIC is required

t o operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119. Exemption No. 11138 at page 15. Accordingly, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will ensure safe operations by not allowing any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PIC ha s demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight

- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distance s from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. 3. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.7(a) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.7(a) will be maintained because prior to every flight, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS is in an airworthy condition based upon the UAS’s compliance with its operating documents and as stated in the conditions and limitations herein. Additionally, the FAA has previous ly granted relief from Section 91.7(a) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 111 56, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 4. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.121 Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.121 will be maintained because
the altitude information of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be provided to the PIC via GPS equipment and a radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path and altitude. This altitude information, combined with AI R TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121. The altitude information will be generated by GPS equipment installed onboard the aircraft. Prior to each flight, a zero altitude initiation point is automatically established by the UAS at ground level.

5. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.151(b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. A grant of this exempti on would ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 91.151(b) as a result of (1) the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS; (2) the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and (3) the location of the proposed f light operations. Accordingly, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will ensure that it will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS during daylight hours in VFR conditions, with enough battery power to fly for a total duration

of 23 minutes. Here, as in Exemption No. 11109, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS; the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and the location of the proposedoperations, will ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section

91.151 (b). Furthermore, safety will be ensured as the DJI Phantom 3 UAS provide audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS when the UAS experiences low battery voltage, the first warning occurring at approximately 33% remaining battery power, and again at approximately 10% remaining battery power. At the critically low battery level, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will descend and land automatically.

6. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 9 1.417(a) & (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. In seeking this exemption, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that the equivalent level of safety with regard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements established by Sections 91.405(a), 91 .407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) will be met because AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices presc ribed in the operating documents (i.e., AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, AIR TIME
DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will document and maintain all maintenance records for th e DJI Phantom 3 UAS. Since the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be inspected as prescribed by the operating documents, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will maintain the equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1), and 91.409(a)(2). A copy of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manuals are attached hereto as Appendix A and B; a copy of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS Maintenance LOG is attached hereto as Appendix C. Likewise, the exemption sought will not adversely affect safety AIR TIME DESIGN
PRODUCTIONS will us e trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents. Furthermore, the exemption sought would maintain an equivalent level of safet y established by Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maintenance of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be performed by trained technicians. Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the monthly maintenance log. Significantly, previo us exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) establish that safety is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations of the UAS

are considered. In consideration of AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s proposed operating limitations, the operating documents, and the technical aspects of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS submits that safety will not be adversely affected by granting exemp tion from 14 C.F.R. Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1) and (a)(2), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b).7. The FAA May Prescribe Any Other Conditions For Safe Operation.
In accordance with Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) and 14 C.F.R. § 21.16 entitled Special Conditions, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS requests that the FAA prescribe special conditions for the intended operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which contain such safety standards that the
Administrator finds necessar y to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, and 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7 (a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b). Such special conditions will permit safe operation of the UAS for the limited purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States for compensation or hire. FMRA Section 333 sets forth the requirements for considering
whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security; and further, provides the authority for such UAS to operate without airworthiness certification in accordance with any requirements that must be

established for the safe operation of the UAS in the NAS. Likewise, the Administrator may prescribe special conditions pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 21.16, for operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, since the airworthiness regulations of 14 C.F.R. Part 21 do not contain adequate or ap propriate safety standards, due to the novel or unusual design features of the aircraft. Section 21.16, entitled Special Conditions, states the following: If the FAA finds that the airworthiness regulations of this subchapter do not contain adequate or app ropriate safety standards for an aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller because of a novel or unusual design feature of the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller, he prescribes special conditions and amendments thereto for the product. The special

condit ions are issued in accordance with Part 11 of this chapter and contain such safety standards for the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller as the FAA finds necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established in the regulations.

See 14 C.F.R. § 21.16. Therefore, in accordance with FMRA Section 333 and 14 C.F.R. § 21.16, the FAA may prescribe special conditions for Leading Edge’s intended operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which contain such safety standards that the Administrator finds necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, and 14 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).

• A Summary Th at Can Be Published In The Federal Register, stating: The Rules From Which AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS Seeks Exemption:

AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a)&(b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405 (a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b). A Brief Description Of The Nature Of The Exemption AIR TIME DESIGN

PRODUCTIONS Seeks: This exemption will permit AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS to commerciallyoperate an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for the purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States. • Any Additional Information, Views, Or Arguments Available To Support AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s Request. This Petition is made pursuant to the FA A Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333, which directs the Secretary of Transportation to determine if certain UAS may operate safely in the NAS. As such, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS’s request for exemption may be granted pursuant to the authority of FMRA Section 333 and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, as set forth above. FMRA Section 333 sets forth the requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security; and further, provides the authority for such UAS to operate without

airworthiness certification. As discussed in detail above, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS will operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS safely in the NAS, without creating a hazard to users of the NAS, or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security.

CONCLUSION As set forth herein, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), which will pe rmit safe operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS commercially, without an airworthiness certificate, for the limited purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States. By granting this Petition, the FAA
Administrator wi ll be fulfilling the Congressional mandate of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, while also advancing the interests of the public, by allowing The AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS to safely, efficiently, and economically operate
the DJI Phantom 3 UAS commercially within the NAS.

WHEREFORE , in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Section 333, AIR TIME DESIGN PRODUCTIONS respectfully requests that the Administrator grant this Petition for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), and permit Leading Edge to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS commercially for the purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of the United States. Dated: June 10, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
