Unmanned Aircraft Sy stems: DJIPhantom 2 UAS Mark DiConzo seeks an exemption to operate the DJIs ys tem for compensation or hire within the NAS. The DJ I Phantom 2 is a vertical takeof f and landing (VT OL) Unmanned Aircraft (UA) with a Ground Co ntrol Station (GCS) utilizing an electronic monitor sy stem . The DJ I Phantom 2 has a maximum gross weight of approximately 2 pounds 14 ounces, while having a length of 16 inches width of 16 inches, height of 8 inches, and a maximum speed of approximately 29 knots. The DJ I Phantom 2 UAS is equipped with four main rotors; driven by a Lithium Poly mer battery

powered electric motor

. The DJ I Phantom 2 UAS that will be operated b y Mark DiConzo will be registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft, as well as 14 C.F .R Part 47, Aircraft Registration, and marked in accordance with 14 C.F .R. Part 45, I dentification and Registration Markings.

**BASIS FOR PETITION**
Petitioner, MARK DI CONZO , pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Av iation Regulations (14 C.F .R. § 1 1.61) and the F

AA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Sy stems, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercial ly operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS in the National Airspace S ys tem (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.1 13(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 consid eration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, Mark DiConzo ’s operation of DJIPhantom 2 UAS meets the 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

, Mark DiConzo 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 onl y appl y to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate.
Mark DiConzo submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety will be ensured. Mark DiConzo will use experienced personnel or technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or pr eventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practicesprescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJIPhantom 2 Manual). Furthermore, Mark DiConzo will document and maintain all maintenance r ecords for the DJ I Phantom 2

. Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.1 13(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested b y Mark DiConzo to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PI C) holdi ng a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as an airman medical certificate, and who has demonstrated, b y meeting minimum flight

- hour and currency requirements, that the PI C is able to safely operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS in a manner consiste nt with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.
Mark DiConzo seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJI Phantom 2 UAS do es not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. As su ch, Mark DiConzo submits that he will ensure that the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS is in an airworth y condition, prior t o every flight, by determining that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJ I Phantom 2 Instruction Manual), and that the aircraft is in a condition for safe flight.
Mark DiConzo also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Sect ion 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings, as the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS will not have a ty pical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS will be provided to the PI C via Global Positioning Sy stem (GPS) equipment and rad io communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA S to the ( GCS ) for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with Mark DiConzo ’ s operation of the DJ I Phantom UAS within visual line of sight, at or below 4 00 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safet y equivalent to Section 91.121. Additionally

, Mark DiConzo seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Mark DiConzo submits that safet y wi ll not be af fected by operation of the DJ I Phantom 2 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

15.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes.
In accordance with 14 C.F .R. § 1 1.81, Mark DiConzo provides the following information in support of its petition for exemption:

**. The Extent Of Relief**  **MARK DICONZO Seeks**  **And The Reason**  **MARK DICONZO Seeks**  **The Relief.**  **1. Extent Of Relief MARK DICONZO**  **Seeks And**  **The Reason MARK DICONZO**  **Seeks Relief Fr**  **om Section 61.1**  **13(a) And (b).**  Relief from Section 61.1 13(a) and (b) entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in 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 requ irements, to conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or hire. This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.1 13(a) and (b) statethat a private pilot may , for compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or employ

ment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employ ment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. As set forth more ful ly

below, MARK DI CONZO submits that an equivalent level of safet y will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS unless that PI C has met certain flight

- h our and currency requirements, demonstrating that the PI C i s able t o safely

operate th e DJ I Phantom 2 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications a s described in this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintain ing appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and stru ctures. Further more, MARK DICONZO submits that all flights of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS , conducted b y the PIC pursuant to the grant of this Petition: (1) will be incidental to MARK DI CONZO ' s business; and (2) will not carry passengers or propert y for compensation or hire.
**2. Extent Of Relief**  **MARK DICONZO Seeks**  **And The Reason**  **MARK DICONZO Seeks**  **Relief Fr om** **Section 91.7(a).** Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airw orthiness, is requested to the extent required to allow MARK DI CONZO to determine that the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS is in airworth y condition prior to every flight by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating do cuments (i.e., MARK DI CONZO ’s Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Lo g, and DJIPhantom 2 Instruction Manual , Pre

- Flight Checklist). MARK DI CONZO seeks the requested relief because the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS do es not require an airworthiness certificate in acco rdance with 14 C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, MARK DI CONZO will ensure that the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS is in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJ I Phantom 2 In struction Manual) prior to every flight, and further, determine that the aircra ft is in condition for safe flight, as stated in the conditions and limitations below

. **3. Extent Of Relief MARK DICONZO**  **Seeks And**  **The Reason MARK DICONZO**  **Seeks Relief**  **Fr om** **Section 91.121.** Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings, may be required to allow flight operations of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS , which utilizes a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UA

to the PI C at the ground control station (GCS). Since the F AA requires that an y altitude information concerning UAS operations be reporte d to air traf fic control (A

TC) in feet above groun d level (AGL), MARK DICONZO seek s the requested relief because the DJ I Phantom 2 UA S ’s altimeter may be set o n the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than th e 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 compl y with the applicable con ditions and limitations stated be low

. As more full y set forth herein, an equivalent level of safety will be maintained since the DJIPhantom 2 UAS is equipped with a baro metric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically

ensures that a ground level pressure setting will be esta blished prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude informat ion of the UA on the heads

- up d isplay

of the GCS.
**4. Extent Of Relief MARK DICONZO**  **Seeks And**  **The Reason MARK DICONZO**  **Seeks Relief Fr**  **om 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 DJ I Phantom 2 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules(VFR), for a total duration of 15.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming

normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. MARK DI CONZO seeks the requested relief because without an exe mption from Section 91.151(b), the f light time duration of the battery

powered DJIPhantom 2 UAS w ill severel y constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that MARK DI CONZO proposes to conduct pursuant to this Petition. Significantly

, as set forth below, the technical specifi cations of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS , the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS’ s operating d ocuments, and proposed operating limitations, ensure that MARK DI CONZO will safel y operate the battery powered DJ I Phantom 2 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight ru les (VFR), with enough battery power to fly

for a total duration of 15 .5 minutes to the first point of intended landing an d, assuming normal cruising speed, to fl y after that for at least 4.5 minutes.
**5. Extent Of Relief**  **MARK DICONZO Seeks**  **And The Reason**  **MARK DICONZO Seeks**  **Relief Fr om** **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) onl y app ly to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, MARK DI CONZO requests relief from these Sections because the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS does not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more full y below, the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS meets the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certif icate. Accordingl y, MARK DICONZO will use trained techn icians to perform maintenance, alterations, or pr eventive maintenance on the UAS usin g the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., MARK DI CONZO Aerial Operations Manu al, Monthly Maintenance Log, DJ I Phantom 2 In struction Manual , Pre

- Flight Checklist). Furthermore, MARK DI CONZO will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS

. **C. The Reasons**  **Why Granting MARK DICONZO**  **’s Request**  **Wo uld Be In**  **The Public Inter est;**  **That Is, How It Wo**  **uld Benefit The Public**  **As A**  **Whole.**

Granting the present Petition will further the publi c interest b y allowing MARK DI CONZO to safely

, ef ficiently , and economically

perform a erial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, and landscape , boats, and events over certain areas of the United States. Additionally

, use of the DJIPhantom 2 UAS will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, crashes and accidents cau sed by pilot error and provide significant benefits to the eco nomy

. Notably , the benefits of MARK DICONZO ’s proposed operation of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS will b e realized without implicating an y privacy is sues. **1. The Public Will Benefit Fr om** **Decr eased Congestion Of**  **The NAS.** The DJ I Phantom 2 UAS is battery powered and serves as a safe, ef ficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft tradition ally utilized to obtain aerial imagery . By reducin g the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aeri al acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a DJIPhantom 2 UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safet y of life and p roperty in the air and on the ground. Furthermore, b y reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused b y arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJIPhantom 2 do es not require an airport to takeof f 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 traf fic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations.**2. The Public Will Benefit Fr om**  **The Safety And Efficiency Of**  **The DJI Phantom 2**  **UAS**
**.** Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJIPhantom 2 UAS , instead of manned aircraft, will greatl y benefit the public by dra stically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photograph y flight operations. By

using battery

power and electric motors, the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS produces no air pollution, and is the most viable e nvironmentally conscious a lternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are ty picall y utilized for aerial video and photography , while burning approximately 20

- 30 gallons per hour of lead ed aviation fuel. The DJ I Phantom 2 UAS , while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also elimin ates noise pollution, as the UAS is propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS to pe rform a erial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and propert y i n the air and on the groun d, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be subst antially reduced or completel y eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the DJIPhantom 2 (weighing approximately 2 pounds 14 ounces at its maximum gross weight, with a length of 16 inches, and a width of 16 inc hes , and with no fuel on board), has less phy sical potential for collate ral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft that typic ally conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of approximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons). **3. Performing Aerial**  **Vi deo and Photography Operations**  **Wi th**  **The DJI Phantom 2**  **UAS Wi**  **ll Benefit The Economy** 
**.** In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS is also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 2 UAS will allow United States based companies, like Beautiful Demon Photograph y , to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy

. Specifically

, with the rising co st of aviation fuel an d the Environmental Protection Agency (“EP A”) regulatory

actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology

i n order to remain competitive. Operating the battery powe red DJIPhantom 2 UAS is one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility co mpared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraft. By operating the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS, companies such as Beautiful Demon Photograph y

, can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately co ntribute to growth of the U.S. economy

. Improved financial performance of U.S. companies, through commercial use of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS , provides a stable wor kforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and developm ent in order to remain competitive both in the United States and abroad. **4. Ther**  **e Are No Privacy Issues.**  Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have beenconducted for decades, MARK DICONZO ’s proposed operation of the DJ I Phant om 2 UAS will not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically

, the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS will be operated onl y in compliance with oper ating documents (i.e., MARK DICONZO Aerial Operations Manua l, Monthly Maintenance Log, DJIPhantom 2 and Instruction Manual , Pr e - Flight Checklist) which requires propert y owne r involvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal Av iation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F .R. § 91.1 19.

**1. Reasons Why The**  **DJI Phantom 2 UAS**  **Meet s**  **The Conditions Of The F**  **AA 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, MARK DICONZO ’s operation of the DJ I Phanto m 2 UAS meet s the conditions of FMRA Section 333, and w ill 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 certificati on and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to user s of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security

. Specificall y, FMRA

Section 333 states the following, in part: (a) In General.

-- Notwithstanding an y other requi rement of this subtitle, and not later than 180 day s after the date of enactment of this Act, the Sec retary of Tr ansportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft sy stems may operate safely

in the nationa l airspace sy stem before completion of the plan and rulemaking required by section 332 of this Act or the guidance required b y section 334 of this Act. (b) Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Sy stems.

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

— (1) which t ypes of unmanned aircraft s ys tems, 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 n ational airspace sy stem or the public or pose a threat to national security; and whether a certifi cate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required f

or the operation of unmanned aircraft sy stems identified under paragraph (1). (c) Requirements for Safe Operation.

-- If the Secretary determines under this section that certain unmanned aircraft sy stems may operate safely

in the national a irspace s ys tem, th e Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation o f such aircraft sy stems in the national airspace s ys tem. In seeking this exemption, MARK DI CONZO submits that the DJIPhantom 2 UAS can operate safel y in the NAS pursuant to FMRA Section 3 33, as demonstrated by : (a) the characteristics of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations. **a.

The operating documents and the grant of exemption must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon re quest. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption and the procedures outlined in the oper ating documents, the conditions and limitations contained in the grant o f exemption take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise , the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operatin g documents. The ope rator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator ’s responsibility to track such revisions and pre sent 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 operator determin es that an y update or revision would af fect the basis upon which the F AA granted the exe mption, then the operator must petition for amendment to its grant of exemption. The F AA’s UAS Integration Of

fice (AFS

- 80) may

be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the op erating documents. 10. Prior to each flight the PI C must inspect the UAS to ensure that it is in a condit ion f or safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that af fects the safe op eration of the UAS, the aircraft 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 an d alterations must be properl y documented in the aircra ft records. 11

The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unles s the PI C meets the operator ’s qualification criteria and demonstrates the ability to safe ly 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 f rom 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 PI Cs are permitted under the terms of the exemption. However, training operation s may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency , and experience

- buildin g flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PI C mus t operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 91.1 19. 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 con ditions (VMC). If flight at night is required, a special request will be made at the F AA of fi ce closest to proposed area of operations. Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.
20. The UA S may

not operate within 5 nautical mil es of an airport reference point as denoted on a current F

. **2. Reasons Why An Exemption Fr**  **om The Requir**  **ements Of Section 6 1.1**  **13(a) And**  **(b) W ould Not**  **Adversely Affect Safety** 

**.** MARK DI CONZO submits that the equivalent level of saf et y established by

Section 61.1 13(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS unless that PI C has de monstrated, by meeting minimum flight

- hour and currency requirements, that the PI C is able to sa fely operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS i n a manner consistent with the ex emption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering MARK DI CONZO ’s proposed area of operations, and the operating limitations set forth

- above; the parallel nature of privat e pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 1 1062); and the airmanship skills necessary t o safel y operate the DJIPhantom 2 UAS , MARK DI CONZO submits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a comme rcially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for MARK DICONZO ’s specific proposed flight operations. The F AA has previously

granted relief from Section 61.1 13(a) and (b) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those present ed herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11 062, 1 1063, 1 1064, 1 1065, 1 1066, 1 1067, 11 080, 1 11 09, 1 111 0, 1 111 2, 1 11 36, 1 11 38, 1 11 50, 111 53, 1 11 56, 1 11 58, 1 11 59, 1 11 60, 1 11 61). MARK DI CONZO will not allow an y P IC to operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS unless that PI C has demonstrated, by meeting min imum flight

hour requirements and the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS training and currency requirements, that the PI C is able to safel y operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vess els, veh icles 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 PI C must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 day s (for currency purposes). As in Exemption Nos. 1 1062, 1 11 38, and 1 11 53, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during MARK DI CONZO ’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. 1 1062, the F AA required that prior to conducting operations for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PI C 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. 1 1062, the PI C 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 F AA considers these minimum hourrequirements 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 total 25 hours of UAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PI C must accomplish 3 takeof fs and l andings in the preceding 90 day s (for currency purposes). The F

AA finds that at a minimum, the flighthour requirements in Exemption No. 1 1062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency

in the skills necessary

to safel y conduct the petitioner ’s propo sed operations. The F AA also finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Tr aining, proficiency , and experience

- building flights can also be conducted under the gr ant of exemption to accomplish the required flight time. During training, proficiency , and experience

- building flights the PI C is required to operate the UA with appropriate distances in acc ordance with 14 C.F .R 91.1 19. Exemption No. 1 11 38 at page 15. Acc ordingly

, MARK DICONZO will ensure safe operati ons by not allowing an y P IC to operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS unless that PI C has demonstrated, b y meeting minimum flight

hour and currency

requirements, that the PI C is able to safel y operate the DJIPhantom 2 UAS in a manner consistent with th e exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

**CONCLUSION** MARK DI CONZO seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C.F .R. § 1 1.61 and Section 333 of the F AA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (F MRA), which will permit safe operation of the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS commerci ally , without an airworthiness certificate, for the limited purpose of conducting aerial vide o and photography over certain areas of the United States. By granting this Petition, the F AA A dmini strator will be fulfilling the Congressional mandate of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, while also advancing the interests of the public, by allowing MARK DI CONZO to safely , ef ficiently , and economically

operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS commercially within the NAS. Therefore , in accordance with the Federal Av iation Regulations and the F AA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Section 333, MARK DI CONZO respectfully requests that the Administrator grant this Petition for an exempti on from the requirements of 14 C.F .R Sections 61.1 13(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 Beautiful Demon Photograph y to operate the DJ I Phantom 2 UAS commercially for the purpose of conductin g aerial video and photograph y over certain areas of the United States.
