Unmanned Ai rcraft Systems: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, Phantom 3 Professional UAS

Aviator Cinema seeks an exemption to operate DJI systems DRONES for compensation or hire within the NAS. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ are vertical takeoff and landing (V TOL) Unmanned Aircrafts (UAS) with a Ground Control Station (GCS) utilizing electronic tablet or smart phone systems. The DJI Phantom 2+, have a maximum gross weight of approximately 2 pounds 11 ounces, while ha ving a length of 16 inches width of 16 inches, height of 8 inches, and a maximum speed of approximately 29 knots. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+,are equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electri c motors.

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, that will be operated by Aviator Cinema are (trained professional), 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, Identification and Registration Marking.

BASIS FOR PETITION

Petitioner, Aviator Cinema , pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the F AA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain Unmanned A i rcraft Systems , hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F

. R

§§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.109, 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).
In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associatedAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 7

with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, Aviator Cinema operation of DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, meets the conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in ac cordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Accordingly, Aviator Cinema requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91. 407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. Aviator Cinema submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety will be ensured. Aviator Cinema will use experienced personnel or 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., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 V ision+, Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Aviator Cinema wi ll document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+

. Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations : Pilot In Command, is requested by Aviator Cinema to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a Supplemental Pilot Certificate, and who has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight- hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJ I Phantom 2 V ision+, in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

Aviator Cinema seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness , because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. As such, Aviator Cinema submits that it will ensure that the Phantom 2 Vision+UAS 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 V

ision+, Instruction Manual), and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight. Aviator Cinema also seeks an exemption from the requirements of SectionAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 8

91.121, entitled Altimeter Settings , a s the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 2 V ision+, will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and ra dio communications telemetry data link, which down-links from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined with Aviator Cinema s operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, within visual line of sight, at or below 200 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121.
Additionally , Aviator Cinema seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Aviator Cinema submits that safety will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 2 V ision+ , 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 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.

. The Extent Of Relief Aviator Cinema Seeks And The Reason Aviator Cinema Seeks The Relief. 1. Extent Of Relief Aviator Cinema Seeks And The Reason Aviator Cinema

Seeks Relief From Section 61.113(a) And (b).

As set forth more fully below , Aviator Cinema submits that an equivalent level of safety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, U A 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+, UAS i n 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, Aviation Cinema submits that all flights of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS, conducted by the PIC pursuant t o the grant of this Petition: (1) will be incidental to Aviator Cinema business; and (2) will not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.
Aviator Cinema believes that though UAS are not traditional aircrafts, a PIC operating the UA must have knowledge o f Airman rules, basic Airspace and comply with all the rules proposed by the F AA. However, considering the fact that a UA is almost like a to y , weighing less than a skinny person, the PIC may be except from obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate, a Sports Certificate, a Recreational Certificate considering these certificates require flight hours of several thousand tons weighing aircrafts. The operation of UAS by Aviator Cinema is strictly for entertainment / informational purposes, thus the operators of the UAS have a career and / or freelance employment as a Camera Operator and Cinematographer and will b e not be entertaining a career as a pilot. Lastly, Aviator Cinema PICs will operate the UAS no higher than 20 0 feet, consequently causing no danger do any other aircraft in the NAS. However, Aviator Cinema Proposes PIC Certification as a Supplemental pilot and a minimum requirement of successfully completed private pilot ground school. Additionally

, supplemental pilots without a current F AA private pilotAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 14 certificat e mus t ha ve successful ly passe d th e privat e pilot , commercia l pilot , or airline transport pilot knowledge test within the past 24 calendar months. 2. Extent Of Relief Aviator Cinema Seeks And The Reason Aviator Cinema 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 Aviator Cinema to determine that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, are in airworthy condition prior to every flight by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., the Aviator Cinema Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, Instruction Manual). Aviator Cinema seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C. F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, Aviator Cinema will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 V

ision+ is in airworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 V ision+, 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 Aviator Cinema Seeks And The Reason Aviator Cinema 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 V ision+, UAS, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry data link to down link altitude information from the UA to the PIC at the ground control station (GCS). Since the F AA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (A TC) in feet above ground level (AGL), Aviator Cinema seeks the requested relief because th e DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UA ’ s altimeter may be set on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or fieldAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 15

altitude, before each

flight.Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations, relief from 14 CFR 91.121 is so ught to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As more fully set

forth herein, an equivalent level of safety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a ground level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information of the UA on the heads-u p display of the GCS.

4. Extent Of Relief Aviator Cinema Seeks And The Reason Aviator Cinema Seeks Relief From Section 91.151(b). Relie f fro m Sectio n 91.151(b ) entitled Fue l requirement s fo r fligh t in VFR conditions, is requested to the extent required to allow flights of th e battery powered DJI Phantom 2 V ision+, during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 135 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes. Aviator Cinema 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+ will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that Aviator Cinema proposes to conduct pursuant to this Petition. Significantly

, as set forth below, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UA

S operating documents, and Aviator Cinema proposed operating limitations, ensure that Aviator Cinema will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS during dayligh t hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 135 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes.Aviator Cinema for Exemption Page 16

! ! 5. Extent Of Relief Aviator Cinema Seeks And The Reason Aviator Cinema

Seeks Relief From Section 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, Aviator Cinema requests relief from these Sections because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, UAS do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, Aviator Cinema will use trained technicians to perform maintenance , alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the Aviator Cinema Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Aviator Cinema will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+.

D. The Reasons Why Granting Aviator Cinema Request W ould Be In The Public Interest; That Is, How It W ould Benefit The Public As A Whole. Granting the present Petition will further the public interest by allowing Aviator Cinema to safely, efficiently , and economically perform aerial video and photography of real estate, special events, film sets, and landscape over certain areas of the United States. Additionally , use of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, and provide significant benefits to the economy
. No tably, the benefits of Aviator Cinema' s proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, will be realized without implicating any privacy issues.

1. The Public W

ill Benefit From Decreased Congestion Of The NAS.Aviator Cinema for Exemption Page 17 The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, is battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. B y reducing the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, a n exemption allowing the use of a DJI Phantom 2 V ision+ 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 ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a reduction of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff , departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations.

2. The Public Wi ll Benefit From The Safety And Efficiency Of The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, 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+ 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 leade d aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ , while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAS are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air andAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 18 on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight

o perations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+(weighing approximately 2 pounds 11 ounces ) at its maximum gross weights with lengths of 16 inches and 17.3 inches and with no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the ai r, compared to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of approximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons).

3. Performing Aerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, Wi ll Benefit The Economy. In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, is also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 2 V ision + will allow United States based companies, like Aviator Cinema , to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency (“E P A”) 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 th e battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, is one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provide s such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraft. By operating the DJI Phantom 2 V ision, companies such as Aviator Cinema , c an remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved financialAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 19 performance of U.S. companies, through commercial use of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision + , provides a stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to remain competitive both in the United States and abroad.

4. There Are No Privacy Issues. Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, Aviator Cinema proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ will not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., the Aviator Cinema Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal A

viation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119.

E. T he Reasons Why Granting The Exemption W ould Not Adversely Affect Safet y , Or How The Exemption W ould Provide A Level Of

Safety At Least Equal T

o That Provided By The Rule From Which Aviator Cinema Seeks Exemption.

1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 2 V ision+, UAS Meet 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, Aviator Cinema operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+,UAS meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F .R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security.Aviator Cinema for Exemption Page 20

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

-- Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems ma y operate safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and rule-making required by section 332 of th is Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this Act. (b) Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

2. Re asons Why An Exemption Fr om The Requirements Of Section 61. 1 13(a) And (b) W

ould Not Adversely Affect Safety.
Aviator Cinema 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 + 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 V ision + UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering Aviator Cinema proposed area of operations, and the operating limitations set forth-above; the parallel nature of private pilot aeronautical 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+, UAS, Aviator Cinema submits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for Aviator Cinema specific proposed flight operations. The F AA has previously granted relief from Section 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, 11 109, 1 1 110, 111 12, 1 1 136, 1 1 138, 1 1 150, 1 1 153, 11 156, 1 1 158, 11 159, 1 1 160, 11 161).

3. Reasons Why An Exemption Fro m The Requirements Of Section 91.7(a) W ould Not Adversely Affect Safety. The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.7(a) will be maintained because prior to every flight, Aviator Cinema will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS is in an airworthy condition based upon the UAS ’ s compliance with its operating documents and as stated in the conditions and limitations herein. Additionally, the F AA has previously granted relief from Section 91.7(a) specific
to UAS, in circumstances similar, i n all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g.Aviator Cinema for Exemption Page 30

Exemptio n Nos

. 1 1062, 11063 , 11064, 1 1065, 110 66, 11067, 1 1080, 11 109, 1 11 10, 1 11 12, 1 1 136, 11 138, 1 1 150, 11 153 , 11 156, 1 1 157, 11 158, 1 1 159, 1 1 160 , 1 1 161).

4. Reason s Wh y An Exempt ion Fr om Th e Requirement s Of Section 91.121 W oul d Not Adversel y Affec t Safet y . The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.121 will b e maintained because the altitude information of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UA will be provided to the PIC via GPS equipment and a radio communications telemetry data link, which down-links from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path an d altitude. This altitude information, combined with Aviator Cinema's operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vis ion+ 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 on board the aircraft. Prior to each flight, a zero altitude initiation point is automatically established by the UAS ' s at ground level.
The F AA has previously granted relief from Section 91.121 specifi c to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11 109, 11 1 12, 11 136, 11 138, 1 1 150, 11 153, 11 156, 1 1 157, 11 158, 11 159, 1 1 160, 11161).
5. Reasons Why An Exemption Fro m The Requirements Of Section 91.151(b) W ould 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+, UAS; (2) the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and (3) the location of the proposed flight operations. Accordingly, Aviator Cinema will ensure that it will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UA during daylight hours in VFR conditions, with enough battery power to fly for a total durati on of 135 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes. Here, as in Exemption No. 11 109, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2Aviator Cinema for Exemption Page 31

Vision+, UAS; 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 ensured as the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS provide audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS when the UAS experiences low battery voltage, th e first warning occurring at approximately 33% remaining battery power, and again at approximately 10% remaining battery power. At the critically low battery level, the DJI Phantom Vision+, UAS will descend and land automatically. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the F

AA 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 minimums prescribed in Section 91.151, including Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. Moreover, the F AA has previously granted relief from Section 91.151 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, i n all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 8811, 10808, 10673, 11042, 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11 109, 111 10, 1 1 136, 11 138, 11 150, 1 1 153, 11 156, 11 157, 11 158, 1 1 159, 11 160, 11 161).
6. Reasons Why An Exemption Fro m The Requirements Of Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b) W ould Not Adversely Affect Safety. In seeking this exemption, Aviator Cinema submits that the equivalent level of safety with regard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) will be met because Aviator Cinema will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., the Aviator Cinema Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Aviator Cinema wi ll document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS. Since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS will be inspected as prescribedAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 32

by the operating documents, Aviator Cinema will maintai n the equivalent level of safetyAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 33

established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1), and 91.409(a)(2). A copy of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ User Manual is attached hereto as Exhibit B & D; a copy of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, UAS Maintenance LOG is attached hereto as Exhibit C. Likewise, the exemption sought will not adversely affect safety because Aviator Cinema w ill use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents. Furthermore, the exemption sought would maintain an equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maintenance of the DJI Phantom 2 V

ision+, UAS will be performed by trained technicians. Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the monthly maintenance log. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the F AA 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 Aviator Cinema proposed operating limitations, the operating documents , and the technical aspects of the DJI Phantom 2 V ision +, UAS, Aviator Cinema submits that safety will not be adversely affected 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 F AA 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, 11 109, 1 11 10, 111 12, 11 136, 1 1 138, 11 150, 11 153, 11 156, 1 1 157, 11 158, 11 159, 1 1 160, 11 161).

7. The F AA May Prescribe Any Other Conditions For Safe Operation. In accordance with Section 333 of the F AA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) and 14 C.F.R. § 21.16 entitled Special Co nditions, Aviator Cinema requests that the F AA prescribe special conditions for the intended operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, UAS, which contain such safety standards that the Administrator finds necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by 14 C

. F .R. Part 21, Subpart H, and 14 C.F

. R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7 (a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a) (1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b). Such special conditions will permit safeAviator Cinema for Exemption Page 34

DJI PHANT OM 2 VISION+ TECHNICAL SP E CIFICA T IONS
Aviator Cinema only utilizes safe and reliable UASs. DJI is an industry leader in small UA S production. DJI UASs are loaded with groun d breaking software enabling the user to se t parameters which will not allow flight into controlled airspace. Parameters can also be set to limit flight to n o higher than a predetermined and set altitude as well as limit flight to a predetermined and set distance. In addition, DJI software provides real-time altitude and location information to the PIC via the linked monitor (smart phone/tablet devices)
