# May 27, 2015 Management System U. S. Department of Transportation Docket Operations West Building Ground Floor Room W12-140 1200 New Jersey Ave., Washington, DC 20590
RE: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
Dear Sir or Madam: 

# I, Kevin G Kinsey located at 7245 Third Ave. Sykesville, MD 21784, plan to operate a UAS, the DJI PHANTOM 3 Professional, which is comprised of an unmanned aircraft, 4K High definition camera, 3 axis gimbals mount and a transportable ground station. The PHANTOM is referred to as a quad-copter with a maximum gross weight of about 3 pounds. It is equipped with four rotors that are driven by electric motors powered by batteries. The UA has a maximum airspeed of 31.1 knots. I plan to use my UAS in the mid-Atlantic states to enhance academic community awareness and augment real estate listing videos for local real estate videographers/photographers, real estate agents and home inspection services

. I will abide by the following operational enhancements to ensure this exemption will provide a level of safety at least equal to existing rules: I will only operate in reasonably safe environments that are strictly controlled, are away from power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas; and I will conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols, during which safety carries primary importance given the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized, an exemption from 14 CFR part 21, Subpart H (Airworthiness Certificates) and§ 91.203 (a) and (b) (Certifications required), subject to certain conditions and limitations, is warranted and meets the requirements for an equivalent level of safety under 14 CFR part 11 and Section 333 of P.L. 112·95 (Section 333).
I request an exemption from § 45.23 Marking of the aircraft because the UA will not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Since two-inch lettering is difficult to place on such a small aircraft with dimensions smaller than the minimal lettering requirement I will mark the UAS in the largest possible lettering by placing the word "Experimental" on its fuselage as required by§ 45.29(f)
so that I or anyone assisting me as a spotter will see the markings.
I request an exemption from §§ 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1 ), 91.409(a)(2) and 91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance inspections may be required and should be granted since they only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. However, as a safety precaution I will perform a preflight inspection of the UAS before each flight as outlined in the UAS operation manuals and user guides.

# UAS Pilot in Command (PIC)
As a holder of a private pilot certificate for 15 years (Airplane single engine land), with approximately 1000 hours flying time logged, I can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current regulations because the UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. Furthermore, the risks of operating a UAS are far less than the risk levels inherent in the commercial activities outlined in 14 CFR part 61, et seq., thus I request an exemption from § 61.113 Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: Pilot in command. Regarding UAS operational training, I have flown numerous practice flights in remote areas as a hobbyist simulating flights for future commercial use to gain familiarization with the characteristics of the UAS' performance in many different temperature and weather situations. I have completed all flights with no incidences or accidents. I also understand the aerodynamic characteristics of multi rotor aircraft to better understand the safe use of the UAS.

For the safety purposes I will abide by the following additional operating conditions:

• operate the UAS below 200 feet and in direct line of sight with visual observation
• operate the UAS for 3·12 minutes per flight
• land the UAS prior to the manufacturer's recommended minimum level of battery power • operate the UAS only within visual line of sight (VLOS) • use the UAS' global positioning system (GPS) flight safety feature whereby it hovers and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control pilot is lost
• conduct all operations under my own personal and flight safety protocols contained in the operating documents and will actively analyze flight data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance my safety protocols
• Will NOT operate within 5 miles of airports without written authorization from the airport manager • Always obtain all necessary permissions prior to operation
• Have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger

§ 91. 7(a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. Since there is currently no certificate applicable to his operation, this regulation is inapplicable.§

# 91. 9(b)(2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft, however since there are no pilots or passengers on board this aircraft and given its size, this regulation is inapplicable. A level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a safety/flight manual with the UAS ground station at all times while operating.
§ 

# 91.119 prescribe safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft, but that it allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. I will not operate the UAS above the altitude of 200 feet above ground level (AGL) and will also only operate in safe areas away from the public and traffic, thus "providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe altitudes." Given the size, weight, maneuverability, and speed of his UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved.
§ 

# 91.121 Altimeter settings is inapplicable since the UAS utilizes electronic GPS measuring displaying in AGL. I will always operate with a spotter, hereafter referred to as a visual observer (YO). I will brief the YO on conditions and limitations that the YO can perform the functions prescribed in the operating documents. The UA will never be operated beyond the actual visual capabilities of the YO, and the YO and PIC must have the ability to maintain visual line of sight (YLOS) with the UA at all times. It is the responsibility of the PIC to be aware of the YO's visual limitations and limit operations of the UA to distances within the visual capabilities of both the PIC and YO. Moreover, the YO will not be operating the aircraft. Additionally all persons not essential to flight operations (nonparticipating persons) will remain at appropriate distances or indoors during flights. If at any time the safety of persons is in question the flight will be terminated until such time the area of operation is made safe.

Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, but for small business owners, its expense has been cost-prohibitive. Granting this exemption would allow people to provide this service at a much lower cost. Further, the small UAS will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to larger manned aircraft. Also the operation of the UAS will minimize ecological damage and promote economic growth by providing information to companies looking to relocate or build in the Mid-Atlantic region. Upon approval of my request I will be able to create employment opportunities. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to your response. Regards,

Kevin G. Kinsey

flight experience. A newly implemented flight recorder stores critical data from each flight and the Vision

Positioning System enhances hovering precision when flying indoors or in environments where GPS is

unavailable. ,.·,;_JiO•).II >'P"i·:JI•···" Phantom 3 Professional User Manual

IOC allows users to lock the control orientation of the aircraft in different modes. There are three working

modes for IOC that can be selected in the OJI Pilot app. IOC only works when the aircraft is in F-mode,

therefore the user must toggle the flight mode switch to activate lOG. Refer to the table below:

Course Lock (CL) Home Lock (HL)* Point of Interest (POl)* The nose direction, at the time that CL is set, will remain the forward direction

regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes. This will

remain fixed until you reserit or exitCL mode.

Record a Home Point (HP) and enter HL mode. The forward and backward

controls will move the aircraft farther from and closer to the established Home

Pont, regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes.

Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POl). The aircraft can then drcie

around the POl and the nose will always points toward the POl.

What is the Phantom 3 flight time?

Flight times will vary depending on environmental conditions and usage patterns, but the Intelligent Flight

Battery is designed to provide up to 23 minutes of uninterrupted flight time when fully charged.

How can I restore a video file if the power is turned off during recording?

Do not remove the Micro-SO card from the camera. If it has been removed, place it back in the camera.

Turn the Phantom 3 on and wait approximately 30 seconds as the video file is restored.

How can I ensure that my pictures and videos wfll be synchronized to my iOS album?

You may need to adjust the settings of your mobile device. Open the Settings menu, select the Privacy

tab, select the Photos tab, and then toggle the switch next to the OJI Pilot app icon. If the Pilot app has not

been granted access to your albums, the photos and videos cannot be synchronized.

What should I do to land my Phantom 3 smoothly as possible?

Hover the aircraft over a flat, level surface. Slowly pull the throttle stick down until the aircraft touches the

ground. Why is the discharge time of the baHery not zero, even though I have never used it?

Every battery is tested prior to being packaged and shipped. This affects the discharge time of a new

battery and is the reason that the discharge time Is not zero, The battery is safe to use.

Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series Remote Controller?

No, it cannot. How to safely operate the aircraft when encountering compass error?

A compass error may occur when the aircraft is flying close to strong electric magnetic sources (e.g.

power transmission lines). Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error

occurs and the OJI Pilot app will display one of the following messages:

• Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings, It is recommended

to power off the aircraft andre-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight.

• Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely. Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude

to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted. The flight controller will

Home Point

**~Ill** Desciipti0i1 --- -

If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point

is the location from which the aircraft was launched. The GPS signal

strength is indicated by the GPS icon ( **11-:** ). The aircraft status

indicator will blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on page 26 for more informahon) or

tap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. You may use

the remote controller's control slicks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart

RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH

button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

you may push the throttle upward to make the aircraft hover at its current almude, giving you an

opportunity to navigate to a more appropriate landing location,

• The colored zones and markers on the battery level indicator bar reflect the estimated

remaining flight time. They are automatically adjusted according to the aircraft's current location

and status.

If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH will

be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds. The Return-

to-Home process may be interrupted and the operator may regain control of the aircraft if the remote

controller signal connection is re-established.

No"Fiy Zones

All No"Fiy Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.djLcom/no"fly. No"Fiy Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive

institute. The details of the No"Fiy Zones are explained as follow:

Airport {1) Airport No"Fly Zone are comprised of Take"off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various sizes.

(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Take"

off restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.

(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination.

Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is

limited to 1640feet(500 meters)atR1+1 mile

(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

" Product Profile

The Phantom 3 Professional represents the next generation of DJI quadcopters. It is capable of capturing

4K video and transmitting an HD video signal out of the box. The built-in camera has an integrated gimbal

to maximize stability while minimizing both weight and size. Even when no GPS signal is available, the

Vision Positioning System allows the aircraft to hover accurately in place. **·•f'i>B.(\Jr~.Higrylight~**

Camera and Gimbal: With the Phantom 3 Professional, you're shooting 4K video at up to 30 frames per

second and capturing 12 megapixel photos that look crisper and cleaner than ever. An enhanced sensor

gives you greater clarity, lower noise, and better pictures than any previous flying camera.

HD Video Downlink: The low·latency long range HD downlink is powered by an enhanced version of DJI

Lightbridge. DJI Intelligent Flight Battery: The 4480 mAh DJI Intelligent Flight Battery features upgraded battery celts

and an advanced power management system.

Flight Controller: The next-generation flight controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable

flight experience. A newly implemented flight recorder stores critical data from each flight and the Vision

Positioning System enhances hovering precision when flying indoors or in environments where GPS is

unavailable.

IOC allows users to lock the control orientation of the aircraft in different modes. There are three working

modes for IOC that can be selected in the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works when the aircraft is in F-mode,

therefore the user must toggle the flight mode switch to activate IOC. Refer to the table below:

Course Lock (CL) Home Lock (HL)* Point of Interest (POl)* The nose direction, at the time that CL is set, will remain the forward direction

regardless of how the orientation and position of the aircraft changes. This will

remain fixed until you reset it or exit. CL mode.

Record a Home Point (HP) and enter HL mode. The forward and backward

controls will move the aircraft farther from and closer to the established Home

Pont, regardless of how the **orienta~on** and position of the aircraft changes.

Point of Interest Record a point of interest (POl). The aircraft can then circle

around the PO! and the nose will always points toward the POl.

3 Professional User Manual How do

I use the Director automatic video editor? Director

is an automatic video editor built into the OJI Pilot app. After recording several video clips, simply tap "Director" from the app's home screen. You can then select

a template and

a specified number

of clips, which are automatically combined

to create

a short film that can be shared Immediately. How do

I change the control mode
of my Phantom

3? By default, the Remote Controller

is set to Mode



### 2. This means that the right control stick controls the movement

of the aircraft and the left control stick controls
the throttle and orientation

of the aircraft. These controls can be changed

to Mode

1 or set to a customized configuration

in the DJI Pilot app. This

Is only recommended

for advanced users. Can

I use

a Phantom

2 Remote Controller with the Phantom

3? No. The Phantom

2 Remote Controller operates

on a different frequency.
The Phantom

2 Remote Controller operates

at 5.8 GHz and the new Phantom

3 Remote Controller operates

at 2.4 GHz. Can

I use

a Phantom

2 Intelligent Flight BaHery with the Phantom

3? No. The Phantom

3 uses

a newly designed Intelligent Flight Battery with greater power. The Phantom

3 has a 4 cell battery with

a capacity

of 4480 mAh and
a voltage

of 15.2 V. My Phantom

3 does not turn off right away,

is something wrong? This

Is normal. After you attempt

to power
off the Intelligent Right Battery,

it may remain
on for a few seconds

as any video data

is saved

to the Micro SO card. This helps prevent your data from being lost or corrupted. Do

I have to buy the Remote Controller separately? No, there

is no need
to buy
a separate Remote Controller. Your Phantom

3 comes with

a Remote Controller that
is already linked
to the aircraft. Does my Phantom

3 support dual Remote Controllers? No. The included Remote Controller
can be used
to control both the aircraft and the gimbal
tilt at the same time. What does the "P, A, F" switch
on the Remote Controller do? This switch, called the Flight Mode Switch, allows you to toggle different flight modes: P-mode,

or Positioning mode, indicates that both GPS and the Vision Positioning System are active and your Phantom

3 will attempt

to stabilize using both. In A-mode,

or Attitude mode, the aircraft does noi use GPS or the Vision Positioning System. Only the barometer

is used for stabilization.
The aircraft can still return

to the Home Point as long as a sufficient GPS signal

is available. F-mode,

or Function mode, activates Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) functionality. Refer
to the IOC section

in the Appendix

of the User Manual. By default, only P-mode may be used. Refer
to your user manual
for instructions

on unlocking
the other modes. 50

# Aircraft The Phantom

3 Professional's flight controller features several important upgrades, including

a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return
of your aircraft

if the control signal

is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and
a new air braking feature. Three flight modes are available. The details

of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning)

: P-mode works best when GPS signal

is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected

by the Phantom

3 Professional depending

on signal strength

of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors

: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft

is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning

is available
but the GPS signal strength

is not sufficient. The aircraft

is using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning

is available. The aircraft

is using only its barometer

for positioning,

so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabillzation.
The aircraft only uses its barometer.
The aircraft can still automatically return

to the home point



### if the control signal

is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC)

is activated

in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC section

in the Appendix. 

## f): Use the Flight Controller mode switch

to change the flight mode
of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight Mode Switch"

on Page 26 for more information. The Phantom

3 Professional

has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions



### of these LEOs are shown

in the figure below:

**Aircra~** Status Indicator Front LED The Front LEOs show the orientation

of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft

is turned

a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying

at high speeds( over

8 m/s at 2 meters

or over
4 m/s at 1 meter). • Flying over water
or transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces

or objects. • Flying

in an area where the lighting changes frequently

or drastically. • Rying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces, • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. !hick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns

or texture. o 

### Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns



## or textures (e.g. tiles with the same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft 

## j;J:

• Keep the sensors clean

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysate.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned

aircraft operate at tow altitudes. Restricted Areas include border lines between countries or sensitive

institute. The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained as follow:

Airport {1) Airport No-Fly Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various sizes.

(2) Ri miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a Takeoff restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.

(3) From Ri mile to Ri + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree inclination.

Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is

limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at Ri+ 1 mile

(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

on the DJI Pilot app. **'•·.r,,~rJII** ,·,;·R•cl>•"'·"·oO I'IFC 41 "" "' a:

] DJI always stresses safety during flight. and has therefore developed various aids to help users comply with local rules and regulations while flying. We strongly recommend
that you update the firmware

to the latest version

to ensure the the following features are fully updated: No-Fly Zones 1) No-Fly Zones include but are not limited

to major airports around world, borders between two sovereign countries

or regions, major cities/regions,

etc. 2) The complete

list of No-Fly Zones

is listed on the official OJI website

at http:/tflysafe.dji.com/no-fly

and

is subject

to periodic updates

in line with the latest regulatory requirements without prior notice. 3) Some No-Fly Zones are comprised

of several zones. Each zone features circles

of various sizes. The aircraft will NOT be able
to take off in the inner most zone of the No-Fly Zone, and will descend

to the specified altitude when

It approaches

the edge
of the inner most zone. Ground station functionality

is disabled when the aircraft

is within

a No-Ry Zone 4) Users are NOT able to set up waypoints within No-Fly Zones. Altitude Limit 1) Fly NO higher than 120 meters (400 feet) above ground level and stay away from any surrounding obstacles. If you intend

to fly above ihe default altitude limit, you are required

Flight N(odes [&WARNING)

To avoid serious injury and property damage, observe the following rule:

1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with

the aircraft's behavior for each flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unable to land

the aircraft safely. [NOTICE )

P mode Is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is

unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious

when flying in A mode.

1} P mode (Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states

of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and

Vision Positioning sensors:

a} P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available, the aircraft will use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately.

Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over

water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment

c) P-ATII: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometer for

positioning, so only altitude is controlled.

2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. The aircraft only

uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it Is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully

3) F mode (Function): intelligent Orientaiion Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar

with IOC functions before use.

If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the

prompted disclaimer to enable this function. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree

that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and

maintained on a DJI designated server. Failsafe and Return to Home [NotfcE J

1) The Return to Home feature will NOT work If the GPS signal is insufficient or If GPS is not active.

2} Press the RTH (Return to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home

Point instead of turning off the remote controller.

3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircraft location, altitude and

speed while returning home to avoid obstacles.

4) Make sure to always fly the aircraft within the transmission range of the remote controller.

5) Only use the Failsafe and Return to Home functions in case of emergency, as they may be affected by the

weather, the environment, or any nearby magnetic fields.
