# The
DJI M100

and Phantom

3 Pro offer different

flight modes

to suit every project:

Using

the dedicated

system

to communicate

with

the DJI flight controller

over

a direct
serial connection. Monitor

and control aircraft

flight behavior

with

the Onboard

API functions,

while utilizing

the built-in Intelligent Navigation

Modes

to create autonomous

flight paths

and maneuvers

in any situation, RD-based

manual control always remains available

as

a backup function. The DJI

M1

00

is particularly

safe. Innovative

landing

pads

or "feet"

are installed

at the base

of each arm

to protect

the DJI
M1

00 when landing.

These

pads greatly reduce impact, protecting

the system

and eliminating

the chance

of the platform unintentionally

lifting

off

of the ground.

There

is also programmed redundancy

in the command

and control system. Landpoint

will comply

with

all the conditions

and limitation imposed

in exemption

12571 except that condition/limitation

number

1 will need

to revised

to include

the DJI M100

and Phantom

3 Pro UAS.

The

list

of "operating documents"

will

also need

to

be revised

to include

DJI's (operating

manual

and safety assessments)

for the DJI M100

and Phantom

3 Pro UAS, which

will be provided separately

to the FAA. Other

than these revisions,

there

will

be

no change

in the conditions

and reason relative

to public
safety

that were

the basis

for

the initial

grant

of exemption. Because

the requested amendment

would

not

set any precedent

or otherwise

raise

any novel issue, and because Landpoint

seeks

to begin these operations

without

delay,

we respectfully

request

the FAA determine

good cause exists

to dispense

with publication

of the summary

of this petition

in the Federal Register

and grant

the requested amendment expeditiously

by summary

means. Thank

you, Chad Souter,

Vice President Landpoint,

LLC 5486 Airline Drive, Bossier

City,
