Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the reform act) and CFR Part
11; I, Matthew Anello , owner and opera tor of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs), request to be exempted from the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) listed below so that I, Matthew Anello may operate UASs commercially in airspace regulated by the FAA., as long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as maybe established by the FAA as required by

Section 333.

I, Matthew Anello , am owner of Blu Skye Media, Inc

. a real estate marketing company. I am requesting exemption from regulations listed below to perform aerial photography and videography of Real Estate and Landscape. All operations will be performed with the public's safety and right to privacy safe guarded at all times.

Matthew Anello 's UASs is a rotorcraft weighing less than 55 po unds including payload (The DJI Phantom 3 Vision Quad Copter). It operates at a speed less than 50 knots and has the capability to hover and move in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. It has an auto return to launch point when battery power is under 25%. The UAS will operate within the line of sight with in a protected flight area
as described below and at 200 feet AGL or less with an observer located close at hand as to make voice communication possible. These operations will not create a ha zard to users of the nation ’ s airspace, public nor the environment.

I, Matthew Anello , respectfully request the grant of an exception to the following specific sections of the Title 14 Code of Federal regulations allowing it to operate lightweight UASs for commercial use,

14 CFR 21, subpart H, 14 CFR 45.23 (b) 14 CFR 91.7 (a), 91.9 (b) (2) 91.103 (b), 91.109, 91.119, 91.121,91.151,(a), 91.203(a) &(b),91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)&(b).

I, Matthew Anello submit this application in accordance with the Reform Act ,112 P.L. 95 331

- 334, seeking relief from any currently applicable FAR'S operating to prevent Matthew Anello future commercial use of small UASs to operat e in the national airspace system as described below. The reform Act section 332 provides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft into our national airspace system as it is in the public's interest to do so. Matthew Anel lo 's UASs meet the definition of "small unmanned aircraft" as defined in Section 331 and therefor the integration of these UASs are expressly contemplated by the Reform Act. I, Matthew Anello , would like to operate its light weight UASs prior to the time period by which the Reform Act re quires the FAA to promulgate rules governing such aircraft.The Reform Act directs the Secretary of Transportation to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft

systems may operate safely in national airspace before completion of the rule making required under Section 332 of the reform Act. In making this determination, the Secretary of Transportation is required to determine which UASs do create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public or pose a threat to national security in light of the following:

The UASs size, speed, we ight and operational capability

Operation of the UASs in close proximity to airports and populated areas

Operation of the UASs within visua l line of sight of the operator

Reform Act 333(a). If the secretary dete rmines that such vehicles "may operate safely in National Airspace System, the secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation in national airspace.

DJI Phantom 3s are rotorcraft weighing less than 55 lbs. and they operate at speeds less th an 50 knots and have the capability to operate in the vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. The UASs will operate only within the line of sight of the operator within a protected flight area and at 200 feet AGL or less. These will not present a haz ard to the national airspace nor the public.

The very small nature of these UASs combined with the safe guards presented below, will allow for the safe operation greater than that envisioned by Congress for the FAA to establish and by exemption allow

com mercial operations of UASs to commence immediately. Also due to the size of UASs and the areas and altitudes they will operate approval of this exception presents no national security issues and absolutely minimal safety concerns which have been mitigated through our rigorous risk management process. Given the clear direction given in Section 333 of the Reform Act, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended, the strong equivalent level of enhanced safety, reduced emissions utilizing UAS s verses traditional aircraft as well as the economic impact of greatly reducing the cost of aerial photography thereby benefiting the greater public's interest. Accordingly, the applicant requests that the FAA grant the requested exemption without delay.

The following will be considered as the binding limitation on operations of Matthew Anello

, 1. Flights will on ly occur in the day time hours,

2. Flights will be operated in the line of sight of the op erator ( PIC) and Observer, (VSO)

3. Flights will be ter minated at any time weather and wind deteriorate to "unsafe for flight" by manufacturers recommendations,

4. The UAS s will weigh less that 55 lbs.,

5. Flights will be op erated at 200 feet AG L or less.

6. Crew will be at a minimum of operator( PIC) and an o bserv er and/or camera operator(VSO),

7. Operator and crew will remain in conta ct during the flight operation,

8. The UASs operator will perform a check of the flight area and make certain of the saf ety of all persons in the area,9. Consent will be obtaine d from all persons with in the video capabilities of the units to further reduce

the chance of violating anyone's privacy.

10. All required FAA clearances, will be obtained and distances f rom airports strictly observed.

11. All UASs will have the capabilit y to return automatically to the operator in a safe manner with the

auto retur n function checked and working.

12 . Flights will only operate in VFR conditions.

14. UASs have a function on the control to tell operator the distance away from the operator a nd its battery power remaining.

15. Flight team will communicate by voice and the use of two

- wa y radio if the area is too big to he ar voice from all team members.

16 . When operating ove r or near water the UASs will be equipped with flotation devices so that recovery can be made as to prevent lithium battery exposure to the water table.

14 CFR part 21 Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificate 14 CFR 91.7(a), 91.203(a)(1)

Subpart H, entitle d Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary certificates in relation to FAR 91.203(a)(1). The size, weight and defined area of operations for Matthew
Anello 's UASs flights permits exception from Part 21 because they mee t an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 USC 4470(f) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislat ion permit the FAA to exempt UASs from airworthiness certificates in consideration of weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. Matthew Anello 's USAs meets or exceeds each of these elements

.

As of Ma rch 23, 2015 the FAA has stated that it will automatically grant a "blanket" COA for flights at or under 200 AGL to any UASs operator with a section 333 exemption.

14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b): Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in Command. Becau se the SUAs in unmanned and will not carry a pilot or passengers, the proposed operations can achieve a high level of safety of operation without the required pilot license.

14 CFR 91.203 (a&b) provides for carrying of civil aircraft certifications and re gistrations. These are inapplicable for the same reasons stated above.

14CFR91.7 (a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by FAR's this regulation is inapplicable.

14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2) Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in Aircraft

14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are no pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UASs this regulation is in applicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining such certifications and registrations at Blu Skye M edia , Inc. operations center.

The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemptions No's 8607,8737,8738,9299,92 99A,9565,9565B,10167,10167A,10602,10700 and 32827.14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes, prescribes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. It allows

helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. Blu Skye Media, Inc. will onl y operate its UASs at or below 200AGL. They will be operated on a will defined AOR that has been carefully reviewed for hazards and minimizes the presence of any persons not essential for these operations. Flights will only be over private property that th e owner has consented and all persons within this video area also give consent for this filming. Compared to flight operations of conventional and traditional aircraft or rotorcraft weighing far more than 50 lbs., operating below 500 AGL with flammable fue l UASs operations present a far smaller risk to the public.

Approval of these 333 Exemptions allowing commercial operations of small UASs in the service of aerial photography will greatly enhance safety by reducing the overall risk associated with tradit ional aircraft. Traditional aerial photography requires large aircraft with flammable fuel to fly in close proximity of populated areas and people in general. With the use of small UASs of 55 lbs. or less, battery operated and fling below 200 feet AGL the risk of injury of people on the ground or the crew has been reduced or almost erased. The granting of the use of these small UASs by Matthew Anello will give potential sellers of Real Estate a competitive edge in the market place.

Granting Matthew Anello the above exemption will allow for the expansion of UAS systems into the future for the safe conduct of free enterprise and the enjoyment of the masses.

I, Matthew Anello , respectfully requests the FAA grant its exception without delay. The FAA has the
author ity to issue the exemption sought by Matthew Anello pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, 85 P.L. 726 (1958) as amended (the ACT).

Sincerely

Matthew Anello

Owner/Operator
