**BASIS FOR PETITION**

Petitioner, Adam J. Stonestreet , 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 Unmanned Aircraft Systems

, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requi rements 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).Adam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 5 In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, Adam J. Stonestreet operation of DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's meets the conditions of

FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 2 1, Subpart H.

Accordingly, Adam J. Stonestreet 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 ce rtificate.

Adam J. Stonestreet submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety will be ensured. Adam J. Stonestreet will use experienced personnel or technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenanc e on the UAS's using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ DJI Inspire 1+ and DJI Spreading Wings S800 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Adam J. Stonestreet wi ll document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's.

Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command

, is requested by Adam J. Stonestreet 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, and who has demonstr ated, by meeting minimum flight hour a nd currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

Adam J. Stonestreet seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness

, because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, Adam J. Stonestreet submits that he will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's are in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UAS's are in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, DJI Spreading Wings S800 Instruction Manual), and that the aircrafts are in a condition fo r safe flight.

Adam J. Stonestreet also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings
, as the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs will not have a typical barometric altimeter on board. However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude info rmation, combined with Adam J. Stonestreet ’s operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1+ and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121.

Ad ditionally, Adam J. Stonestreet seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions

. Adam J. Stonestreet submits that safety will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 2

Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1+ and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS’s 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 14.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes.Adam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 6

**C. The Extent Of Relief Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks And The Reason Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks The Relief.** 

**1. Extent Of Relief Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks An d The Reason**  **Adam J. Stonestreet Seeks Relief From**  **Section 61.113(a) And (b).**

Relief from Section 61.113(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 requirements, toAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 9 conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or hire.

This relief is requested s ince the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for 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 employme nt; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

As set forth more fully below, Adam J. Stonestreet submits that an equivalent level of safety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Pha ntom 2 Vision+ UAS, DJI Inspire 1+, UAS, or DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS unless that PIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate either the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Sp reading Wings S800 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

, Adam J. Stonestreet submits that all flights of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's, conducted by the PIC pursuant to the grant of this Petition: (1) will be incidental
to Adam J. Stonestreet 's business; and (2) will not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

**2. Extent Of Relief Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks And The Reason Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks Relief From Section 91.7(a).** 

Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness

, is requested to the extent required to allow Adam J. Stonestreet to determine that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's are in airworthy condition prior to every flight by e nsuring that the UAS is in compliance wit h the operating documents (i.e., the Adam J. Stonestreet Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 Instruction Manual).

Adam J. Stonestreet seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, Adam J. Stonestreet will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspir e 1+ and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's are in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, Instruction Manual) 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 Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks And The Reason Adam J. Stonestreet**  **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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio co mmunications 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 ab ove ground level (AGL), Adam J. Stonestreet seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UA’s altimeter may be set on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or fi eld 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 herei n, an equivalent level of safety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, whichAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 10 automatically ensures that a g round level pressur e setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information of the UA on the heads-up display of the GCS.

**4. Extent Of Relief Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks And The Reason Adam J. Stonestreet**  **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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs during dayli ght

hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. Adam J. Ston estreet seeks the requested relief because without an exemption from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration of the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that Adam J. Stonestreet proposes to conduct pursuant to this Petition.

Significantly, as set forth below, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's , the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 operating documents, and Adam J. Stonestreet ’s proposed operating limitations, ensure that Adam J. Stonestreet will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Insp ire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 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 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and,

ass uming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes.

**5. Extent Of Relief Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks And The Reason Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Seeks Relief From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b).** 

Sinc e 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, Adam J. Stonestreet requests relief from these Sections because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI

Spr eading Wings S800 UAS's do not r equire airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, Adam J. Stonestreet will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS's using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the Adam J. Stonestreet Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Adam J. Stonestreet will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJ I Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's.

**D. The Reasons Why Granting Adam J. Stonestreet**  **Request Would Be In The Public Interest; That Is, How It Would Benefit The Public As A Whole.** 

Granting the present Petition will fur ther the public interest by allowing Adam J. Stonestreet to safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, and landscape over certain areas of the United States.

Additionally, use of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, and provide significant benefits to the economy. Notably, the benefits of Adam J. Stonestreet ’s proposed operation of the DJI Phan tom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's will be realized without implicating any privacy issues.Adam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 11 **1. The Public Will Benefit From Decreased Congestion Of The NAS.**

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wing s S800, 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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safety of life and property in the air and on the g round.

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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 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 ph ases of flight operations.

**2. The Public Will Benefit From The Safety And Efficiency Of The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's.** 

Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's, 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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally

conscious 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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs, while reducing the carbon footprint of ae rial 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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's 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 flig ht operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAs (weighing approximately 2 pounds 11 ounces and 6 pounds 7.5 ounces and 8 pounds 2 ounces respectively, at their maximum gross weights with lengths of 16 inches and 17.3 inches and 35 inches respectively, widths of 16 inches and 17.7 inches and 18 inches respectively, and with no fuel on boar d), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, 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 fee t, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons).

**3. Performing Aerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's Will Benefit The Economy.** 

In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's will allow United States based companies, like Adam J. Stonestreet and Peak Perspective LLC, to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the Envi ronmental Protection 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 2 Vision+, DJI I nspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's is one suchAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 12 technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraf t.

By operating the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's, companies such as Adam J. Stonestreet , can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employees and contractors, which w ill ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved financial performance of U.S. companies, through commercial use of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's, provides a stable workforce that increases c onsumer 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 aeria l acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, Adam J. Stonestreet ’s proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's will not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Pha ntom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e. Monthly Maintenance Log, and the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, 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 Safety, Or How The**  **Exemption Would Provide A Level Of Safety At Least Equal To That Provided By The Rule From Which**  **Adam J. Stonestreet Seeks Exemption.** 

**1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 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, Adam J. Stonestreet ’s operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's meet the regulation and conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

Section 3 33 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth 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. 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 unmann ed aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and rulemaking required by section 332 of this Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this Act.

(b) Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

-- In m aking the determination under subsection (a), the Secretar y 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, a nd 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 national security; and

(2) whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certifica tion under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems identifiedAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 13 under paragraph (1).

(c) Re quirements 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 aircraft systems in the national airspace sy stem.

In seeking this exemption, Adam J. Stonestreet submits that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's can operate safely in the NAS pursuant to FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations.

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, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential for flight o perations are considered non-participants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate 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 operatio ns must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). If flight at night is required, a specialAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 16 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 point 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 w ith a NOTAM as required by the operator’s COA.

.
**2. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 61.113(a) And (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety.** 

Adam J. Stonestreet 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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including

evasive an d emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and
structures.

Considering Adam J. Stonestreet ’s proposed area of operations, and the operating limitations set forth-above; the parallel nature of private pilot a eronautical knowledge requirements to those of commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 11062); and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS, Adam J. Stonestreet su bmits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for Adam J. Stonestreet ’s specific proposed flight operations.

The FAA has previously granted relief from Se ction 61.113(a) and (b) 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, 11156, 11158, 1115 9, 11160, 11161).

Adam J. Stonestreet will not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements or the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS training and currencyAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 18 requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption, including ev asive 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 ro torcraft 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 landings in the pr eceding 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 Adam J. Stonestreet ’s
pr oposed 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 required that prior to cond ucting 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 total 25 hours of UAS ro torcraft 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. 11062 are appropriate to p ractice 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 requirem ent. Training, proficiency, and experience-building flights 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 to operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119.

Exemption No. 11138 at page 15. Accordingly, Adam J. Stonestreet will ensure safe operations by not allowing
any
PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S8 00, UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, or DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption , including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances 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, Adam J. Stonestreet will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS is in an airworthy condition based upon the UAS’s c ompliance with its operating documents and as stated in the conditions and limitations herein.

Additionally, the FAA has previously 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, 1111 2, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160,Adam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 19 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 maintain ed because the altitude information of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI

Spreading Wings S800, 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 ac tive monitoring of the flight path and altitude. This altitude information, combined with Adam J. Stonestreet ’s operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, 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's at gro und level.

The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.121 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, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161).

**5. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.151(b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety.** 

A grant of this exemption 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 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's; (2) the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and (3) the location of the proposed fligh t operations. Accordingly, Adam J. Stonestreet will ensure that it will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAs during daylight hours in VFR conditions, with enough battery power to fly fo r a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes.

Here, as in Exemption No. 11109, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Insp ire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's; the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and the location of the proposed operations, will ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 91.151(b). Furthermore, safety will be e nsured as the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's provide audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS when the UAs experiences low battery voltage, the first warning occurring at approximately 30% remaining batt ery power, and again at approximately 10% remaining battery power. At the critically low battery level, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's will descend and land automatically.

Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Section 91.151 establish that safety is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations of the UAS are considered. Relief has been granted for manned aircraft to operate at less than the min imums prescribed in Section 91.151, including Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. Moreover, the FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.151 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exe mption Nos. 8811, 10808, 10673, 11042, 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080).

**6. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety.** 

In seeking this exemption, Adam J. Stonestreet submits that the equivalent level of safety with regard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements establishedAdam	J		Stonestreet	Petition 20 by Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) wi ll be met because Adam J. Stonestreet will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS's using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., the Adam J. Stonestreet Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Adam J. Stonestreet will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Visi on+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's.

Since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's will be inspected as prescribed by the operating documents, Adam J. Stonestreet will maintain the equivalent leve l of safety established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1), and 91.409(a)(2).

Likewise, the exemption sought will not adversely affect safety because Adam J. Stonestreet will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations or preventive maint enance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents.

Furthermore, the exemption sought would maintain an equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maint enance of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800 UAS's will be performed by trained technicians. Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the monthly maintenance log.

Significantly, previous exemptions grant ed 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 Adam J. Stonestreet ’s proposed operating limitations, the operating documents, and the technical aspects of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1+, and DJI Spreading Wings S800, UAS's, Adam J. Stonestreet submits that safety will not be adversely aff ected by granting exemption 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). The FAA has previously granted relief 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).

**7. The FAA May Prescribe Any Other Conditions For Safe Operation.**
