May5,2015 U.S. Department ofTransportation Docket Management System 1200 NewJersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 RE: Petition of Eye InThe 

### Sky Memoriesfor Exemption Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012. Dear Sir or Madam: Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 and 14CFR Part 11, Eye In The Sky Memories (ESM), hereby applies foran exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) as identified below, to allow commercial operations ofsmaU unmanned aerial systems (sUAS). This exemption is in accordance with protocols outlined in this petition for exemption, the accompanying ESM SafetyChecklists, the DJI UAS manufacturer's operations and/or instructions manual, DJI UAS User's Manuals, DJI UAS Quick Start Guides, and any other requirements established by the FAA pursuantto Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. This exemption would permit commercial operation by ESM, which uses DJI Phantoms to conduct sUAS flight training, education, real estate photography, and videography, and demonstration flights. ESM's operation underthe exemption will be subject to strict operat1ng requirements and conditionsto ensure an equivalent**leve~** ofsafety to currentlyauthorized operations using manned aircraft and under conditions as may be modified bythe Federar Aviation Administration {FAA) as required by Section 333. 1 ESM will be operated undercontrol-led Visual Flight Rules (VFR) conditions at low altitude in airspace that is permitted in accordance with ESM's approved Certificate ofAuthorization (COA). They will operate the sUASs with pilots who have completed ESM's training program. Finally, the FAA Air Traffic Controller (ATC) will approve the airspace in which the sUAS wm operate in advance. ESM respectfully submits this request for an exemption because it operates sUASs. Currently, the operationsthat ESM will be conducting will 

### be in lieu ofcomparatively hazardous operations now conducted with fixed wing and rotary conventional aircraft. The FAA can have confidence thatthe operations 

### will be conducted at anequivalent level orgreater level ofsafety. Approval ofthis exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfillthe Secretary ofTransportation's {the FAA Administrator's) responsibilities under Section 333(c) ofthe Reform 

### Act to "establish requirements forthe safe operation ofsuch aircraft systems in the National Airspace System" (NAS).

### 1. Petitioner's Description: Eye in the Sky Memories, headquartered inTullahoma, Tennessee, Is a company that provides sUAS flight training, supportto news services, real estate photography, education, and demonstration flights in a compliant and safe environment. ESM plans on providing a wide range ofservices as the sUAS market expands. The Chief Pilot has accumulated over 150 hours offlighttime. ESM's goal is to operate in an accident-free environment by:

• Demonstrating a commitment by management and alt emptoyees to operate in a compliant manner. • Identify hazard and risks while eliminating or controUing all these risks. They 

### will use steps to intervene and report when unsafe work practices appearto exist. • Training all emp,Joyees involved in flight operations to operate atthe highest standard level. The contact informationfor Petitioner is as follows: Eye In The Sky Memories c/o Ron Porter 101 Virginia Dr. Tullahoma, TN 37388 Chief Pilot/Pilot in Command: Ron Porter Cell phone: 931-581-9023 

### 2. Relevant StatutoryAuthority: This petition for exemption is submitted to fulfiU Congress' goal in passing Section 333(a) through (c) of the Reform Act. Congress has directed the FAA "to safely accel,erate the integration ofcivil UAS into the NAS". Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe Reform Act, the FAA Administrator is to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely inthe NAS before completion ofthe formal UAS rulemaking, based on the following considerations:

### • The UAS's size, weight, speed, and operational capability; • Operation ofthe UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; and • Operation ofthe UAS within thevisual line ofsight ofthe operator.2 

### Ifthe Secretary determinesthat such vehicles "may operate safely inthe NAS, the Secretary shall establish requirements forthe safe operation ofsuch aircraft in the NAS." Additionally, the FAA Administrator has general authorityto grant exemptions from its safety regulations and minimum standards when the Administrator decides a requested exemption is inthe public interest. A party requesting an exemption must explain the reasons why the exemption: 1) would benefitthe public as a whole, and 2) would not adversely affect safety (or how itwould provide a level ofsafety at least equal to the existing rules). The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to issue exemptions. This statutory authority, by its terms, includes exempting civil aircraft, as the term is defined under40101 ofthe Act, from the requirement that all civil aircraft must have a current airworthiness certificate and those regulations requiring commercial pilotsto operate aircraft in commercial service: 

### The Administrator 

### may grant an exemption from a requirement

### the Reform

### Aa: The proposed operations in this petition for exemption qualifyfor expedited approval under Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. Each ofthe statutorycriteria and other relevant factorsare satisfied. The proposed operationswould permit ESM the use ofsmall UAS undercontrolled conditions in airspace that is: 1) predetermined; 2) controtted as to access; and that 3) provides an increased level ofsafety beyond that existing when fixed or rotor wing aircraft are used to accomplish the same purpose. ESM uses UASs that are multirotor, weighing less than 25 pounds including payload. They operate, under normal conditions, at speeds notto exceed 45 mph and have the capabilityto hover, and move in the vertical and horizontal plane. ESM's UASs will operate in line ofsight, duringdaylight hours, and will only operate within a sterile area. ESM will operate 

### ator below400 feetAbove Ground level (AGL) and will not operate in controlled airspace, therefore required permissions and permits would not be

## ofthe sUAS. ESM welcomes the opportunity to consult with FAA staffin order to address any issues orconcerns that this proposalmayraise that theybelieve mayrequire modification.

### necessary. All required permissions and permits would 

### be obtained from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including focal law enforcement, fire, orother appropriate governmental agencies priorto operating a sUAS. Given the small size ofthe sUASs involved and the restricted steriJe environmentwithin which they will operate, this ESM's exemptionfatls within the zone ofsafety and demonstrate an equivalent level of safety, in which Congress desired the FAA to permit commerciaii,JAS operations by exemption pending completion offormal rulemaking. Also, dueto the size ofthe sUASs and the confined area in which the sUASs wilt operate, approval ofthe application presents no hazard inthe NAS. Considering the deardirection in Section 333 ofthe Reform Act, the authority contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended, the equivalent level ofsafety surrounding the proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, the grant ofthe requested exemptions is also inthe public interest. 

### 4. 

### Description of PropQSed Operations To assist the FAA in its safety assessment of ESM's proposed sUAS operations, below is a summary of operational limitations and conditions that will ensure an equivalent or higher level ofsafetyto operations conducted under current regulatory guidelines: 1) The sUAS will weigh less than 2$ pounds. 2) Flights will be operated within line ofsight ofthe Pilot in Command (PIC) and Visual Observer (VO)

.. 3) Maximum total flight time for each operational flightwill 

### be limited to the amountoftime the sUAS can be flown and still maintain a reserve battery power of no less than 25% (about 15 minutes). 4) Flights will be operated 

### at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL. 5) Flights 

### will be operated at a lateral distance of least 100feet from any inhabited structures, buildings, vehicles, vessels, people not associated with the operation or who have not signed a waiver in advance ofthe operation. 6) Minimum crew for each operation will consist ofthe sUAS PIC, VO and a Camera Operator (CO). Additional crewrnembers may consist ofa Pilot. 7) ESM will designate a PIC for each mission. 8) The sUAS will operate only within a confined "Sterile Area". 9) Priorto the operations at a particular location, a site inspection wilt 

### be conducted. On the day ofthe mission the PIC and VO will concur on dispatching ofthe mission. 10) The PIC and VO will conducted a briefing in regard to the planned sUAS operations priorto each mission. 11) ESM crew will use the checklist that accompanies this petition. 12) All sUASs will be maintained in accordance with inspection program specified in the ESM's Checklist and in compliance withthe manufacturer'sguidelines. 13) In the event ofan accident inv<»ving an ESM sUAS, they witt cease operations and report the accident to the NTSB and AFS-80. 14) PIC and VO will at all times be able to communicate byvoke.15) All required permissions and permits will 

### be obtained from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local lawenforcement, fire or other appropriate governmental agencies. 

### 16) Ifthe sUAS loses communications signal, the sUAS has the capability of returning to a predetermined location withinthe Sterile Area and land. 17) Contingency plans will be in place to safely terminateflight ifthere is a loss of communication between the PIC and the VO. 18) The sUAS has the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 19) ESM will assure no individuals' privacy is violated. 20) ESM will contact ATC priorto operating in airspace otherthan G.

### § 

### 61.113(a) 

### & (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Unlike a conventional aircraft that carries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, the DJI sUASs are remotely controlled with no passengers or property ofothers on board. ESM respectfully proposes that the FAA should take into account the characteristics and procedures ofthe particular UAS. ESM proposes that the actual operation ofthe OJI sUAS does not require the PIC to hold a private pilot certificate. ESM proposes the following requirements: Equivalent Level ofSafety ESM utilizes both a PIC and a VO to increase safety during flight operations. The VO will always remain within 10feet ofthe PIC when the UAS is airborne to assist ifan emergency should happen. Procedures developed by ESM far exceed the current safety requirements established 

### bythe FAA. 

### B. 14CFR § 

### 91.103: PrefligtttAction ESM requests an exemption from the preflight actions requirements of 14 CFR 

## § 91.103 that prescribe the preflight actions underwhich aircraft may operate: Each PIC shalf, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all available information concerning that flight.a) Flight under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) ora flight not in the vicinity ofan airport, weather reports and forecasts, alternatives avaitabte ifthe planned flight cannot be completed, and any known traffic delays ofwhich the PIC has been advised byATC; b) For any flight, runway lengths at airports of intended use, and thefollowing takeoffand landing distance information: 1) For civil aircraft forwhich an approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual containing takeoffand landing distance data is required, thetakeoffand landing distance data contained therein; and 2) For civil aircraft otherthan those specifaed in paragraph (b)(1) ofthissection, other reliable information appropriate to the aircraft, relating to aircraft performance under expected values ofairport elevation and runway slope, aircraft gross weight, and wind and temperature. ESM will not operate sUASs under JFR conditions orwhen the ceilings are below 1000feet and the visibility is below 3 statute miles. DJI's sUASs do not have published approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual containing takeoffand landing distance data. 

### Equivalent Level 

### ofSafety Located in ESM Safety Checklists are procedures describing steps the PIC along with the optional Pilot must follow to assure thatthe weatherwill be adequate to complete the mission in VFR condition. Since ESM operates in Tennessee where the density altitude is never usually above 2000 feet, UAS performance is not affected. When ESM is allowed to operate in other parts ofthe United States the UAS used in those locations will be test flown atgross weightto test performance limitations priorto conducting commercial operations. 

### C. 14CFR § 

### 91.113: Right-of-Way Rules ESM requests an exemption from 14CFR 

### § 91.113 Right-of-way rules, requiring vigilance by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft. When a rule ofthis section gives another aircraft the right-of-way, the pilot shall give wayto that aircraft and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear. ESM operates small pilotless UASs and cannot comply with these rules as they have been written. 

### Equivalent Level of

### Safety ESM operates sUASs at or below an altitude of400feet AGL, well belowthe normal operating altitude of otheraircraft. ESM Safety Checklists specifies that a PtC with experience will oversee each mission and has knowledge ofthe avoid rules. A VO will assist the PIC in looking for aircraft entering the operations area. It is the responsibility ofthe PIC to cease operations and land the UAS immediately whenever and aircraft comes intothe vicinity creating a potential threat. Operations cannot recommence until the threat is cleared.

### D. 14CFR § 

### 91.119(b) 

### and (c): Minimum Safi! Altitudes ESM requests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude requirements of 14 CFR § 

### 91.119 (b) 

### & (c) that prescribes the minimum safe altitudes underwhich aircraft may operate:

• Over any congested area ofa city, town, or settlement, orover any open air assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000feet above the highest obstacle within a horizontal radius of2,000 feet ofthe aircraft. • Over otherthan congested areas at an altitude of500feet above the surface, except overopen water orsparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closerthan 500feetto any person, vessel, vehicle, orstructure. Section CFR 14 § 

### 91.119 (d) allows fora heHcopter to operate at less than those minimum altitudes when 

### it can be operated "without hazard to persons or property on the surface", provided that "each person operatingthe helicopter complies with any routes oraltitudes specificatly prescribed for helicopters bythe FAA". To provide the intended operations, the sUAS is normally operated below 400 feet AGL. Additionally, due to the nature ofthe proposed operations, the sUAS will maintain a lateral distance ofat least 100 feet from inhabited structures, buildings, vehicles, and vessels, and from people not associated with the operation. 

### Equivalent Level of Safety Compared to normal flight aircraft, ESM's multi-rotor aircraft weigh a maximum of25 pounds, and given the lack offlammable fuel, any risk associated with these operations isfar less than those that presently exist with conventionaJ aircraft. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed ofthe UAS, as wetl as the location where it is operated. As set forth in the Safety Checklists, the sUAS will be operated in a sterile area, where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre-obtained consent. Because ofthe advance notice to the property owners and participants, all affected individuals will be wellaware ofthe planned flight operations as set forth in the Safety Checklists. Furthermore, by operating at such loweraltitudes, the sUAS will not interfere with aircraft that are subject to the minimum safe altitude regulations. Finafly, the successful safety record ofthe 

### DJI sUAS demonstratesthat the sUAS can 

### be safely used atthese lower attitudes and closer operating environments. 

### E. 14 C.F.R. § 

### 91.121:Altimeter

### Settings ESM seeks an exemption from 14 CFR § 

### 91.121, which requires a person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude orflight level by reference to an altimeterthat is set to the elevation ofthe departure airport or barometric pressure. An exemption is required because the sUAS does not have a barometric altimeter, but rather a GPS altitude read out.

### Equivalent level ofSafety An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved by following the procedures setforth in the Safety Checklists. ESM wiH confirm the altitude ofthe launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. Moreover, the PIC will use the GPS altitude indicatorto constantly monitorthe sUASs height, thus ensuring operation at safe altitudes. 

### F. 14CFR § 

### 91.151(b): 

### Fuel Requirements for 

### Flight inVFR Conditions ESM requests an exemption from 14 CFR § 91.151(b)'s fuel requirements forflight in VFR conditions. The batteries powering ESM's UASs provide approximately

**15~20** minutes of powered flight. To meet the 30 minutes reserve requirement in 14CFR § 91.151, sUAS flights could not be conducted. Given the limitations on the sUASs proposed flight area and the location of its proposed operations within a predetermined area, a safety margin based on a reserve amount ofbattery life is needed. ESM will not be conducting any sUAS flights at night. 

### Equivatent 

### Level of Safety An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved because the operations will be conducted on-site without significant transit time bythe sl)AS. All flights will be planned to terminate with no tess than 25% reserve battery powerstill available. This restriction would be morethan adequate to return the sUAS safely to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its confined area ofoperation even in the event of an unexpected occurrence. Operation ofthe sUAS with l,ess than 30 minutes of reserve fuel does not include the type of risks that Section 14CFR § 91.151(b) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed ofthe sUAS, and the proximity ofthe flight operation to the landing zone. Moreover, operation wiU be limited to controUed areas where only people and property owners, or official representatives who have signed waivers 

### witt be alk>wed. 

### G. 14CFR § 

### 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1}, 91.409(a)(2);91.417(a)and (b): Mai-ntenance 

### Inspections ESM also seeks an exemption from the maintenance inspection requirements contained in 14 CFR § 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2), 91.417(a) and (b). These regulations specify maintenance and inspection standards in reference to 14CFR Part 43. 14CFR 

### § 91.405(a) (statingthat each owneror operatorofan aircraft "shall have the aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart Eofthis part and shall between required inspections

...have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in Part 43 ofthis chapter"). An exemption to these regulations is needed because Part 43 and these sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which the sUAS will not have. 

### Equivalent 

### level ofSafety An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accordance with the ESM Safety Checklists and 

### DJ1 User's Manuals. As provided 

### in the Safety Checklists, the PIC will ensure that the sUAS is in working order priorto initiatingflight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log ofany maintenance performed. The PIC is the person most familiarwith the aircraft and bestsuited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level ofsafety. Ifmechanical issues arise, the sUASs size and carrying capacity, (lnd the fact that flight operations will onlytake place in restricted areas for limited periods oftime during daylight hours, creates tess risk than that associated with conventional rotorcraft performing the same operation. 

### 6. Puotk: lnterest Granting ESM an exemption furthers the public interest. National policy set by Congress favors early integrationofVAS intothe NAS in controlled, safe workingenvironments such as those proposed inthis petition. One vision of ESM is to help facilitate safe integration of sUASs into mainstream USA in the following areas:

• Mews 

### Gathering Each news assignment mayrequire a completely different shot orview ofa scene. With budgets fortraditional helicopter use being greatly reduced, the UAS is the perfect solution to allow for easy news gatheringfor a fraction ofthe cost. The sUAS can and will 

### be operated in a sterile area away from the public, while the traditional helicopter must hoverover persons and property increasing the dangerto individuals.

• Real Estate The sUAS can be used in all areas of real estate, induding commercial, residential and industrial properties. Using a sUAS, real estate professionals can create promotionalvideos, photos and unique shots that normal camera aspects cannot capture. ESM's easy-to-use vfdeo and photo platform enables properties to stand out, providing dazzling views that are typically shownvia expensive computer animation or costly helicopterrentals. Imagine shooting aview from a highrise condo in stunning high definition that shows your potential customerthe actual viewfrom the

**res~dence.** The remote platform is great for new planning, zoning and large developments. Simple and easy-to-use video and photos a11ow for multiple height pictures and elevation views.



### • Fire and Rescue ESM would introduce and demonstrate

### to fire and rescue personnel the sUASs reliability and the capabilityto perform in extreme situations. The abilityto offer real time HD and IR video facilitates placing personnel andequipment in the right places. Also, with modern FUR cameras, areas can be identifted for potential'hot spots' and additional focus without putting personnel at risk. ESM's mission is to assist governmental agencies safely intothe NAS.



### • Agriculture and 

### Conservation ESM would introduceand demonstrateto farmers ofall types thatthe sUAS can aid commercial agriculture, land managementand conservation efforts byassessing crops, mappingflood zones, measuring snow pack and more.The sUAS can 

### fly pre-saved missions via the fully automated ground station, which allows fortime-lapse photos offields, crops and known landtracts. Italso can accurately recreate the same pattern duringall seasons, providing invaluable data for land and soil

**manasem~nt.** Using HO 

### video, HD photos, and JR cameras aUows for detailed analysis and recording. With photo rendering software, 30 maps and topography can be us:ed in conjunctiQn with time-lapse photos 

### to create highly

**detai~** mapsfor erosion, 

### flood mapping and othercritical iilspet.:ts ofland

**manage~nt.** 

### 7. Privacy ESM has established a chapter in their Safety Checklists to proteQ: the pubttc privacy. ESM knows that many individuals have concerns about privacy from the operations ofsUASs. ESM has created a privacy notice that informs residents, commercial propertyowners, churches, schools, and governmental organizations ofour intentto conduct commercial drone operations in proximityto their property. 

### 8. Federal RegkttySummary Pursuant to 14 CFR Part 11,the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determinedthat publication is needed: Eye In The Sky Memories seeks an exemption from thefoflowing rules: 14CFR Part 61.113 (a) and {b); 14CFR 

### § 91.103; 14CFR 

### § 91.11.9; 14CFR 

### § 91.121; 14CFR 

### § 9l,.151(a); 14CFR 

### § 91.405(a); 14

### CFft § 91.407(a)(1); 14 CFR 

### § 91.4(}9 (s)(2); 14CFR 

### § 91.417(a) 

### & (b). Approval ofthis exemption request aflows t::SM to conduct commercial operations with small and Hghtweight unmanned aerial systems. The goal of ESM isto enhance safety ofsUAS operations in the NAS while reducing risk to the general public and propertyowners. The DJI sUAS, weighing less than 25 pounds and powered by batteries, eliminatesvirtualty aft ofthat risk given the reduced mass and lack ofcombustible fuel carried on board. The sUAS is transported to the designated mission area andset up there. The sUAS witt carry no passengers orcrew and, therefore,

### will not expose them tothe risks associated with manned aircraftflights. The operation ofthis sUAS wm provide an equivalent level ofsafety, supporting the grant ofthe exemptions requested herein, including exempting the applicant from the requirements ofseveral regulations and allowing commercial operations. These lightweight sUASs operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, and in a sterile environment. As a result, they are far saferthan conventional aerial survey and inspection operations conducted with fixed wing aircraftor helicopters. Ifadditional information is required, or ifyou have anyquestions regarding this Petition for Exemption, please contact the undersigned.
