I plan to operate a UAS, the 3DR Solo, which is comprised of an unmanned aircraft (UA or

Solo).. The 3DR Solo is referred to as a quad­copter with a maximum gross weight of about 5

pounds. It is equipped with four rotors that are driven by electric motors powered by batteries.

The UA has a maximum airspeed of 30 knots. The UAS will have a small lightweight GoPro 3+

camera attached safely via a factory built mount to the UAS and operate the UA over various

areas in Palm Beach County, Florida to enhance academic community awareness and augment

photographic areas.

As the owner of Lucid Prints, I am a recent graduate of Digital Media Arts College in Boca

Raton, FL and am in the process of opening a marketing agency and design firm. Having been a

photographer for years, I would like to be able to offer aerial photography as a service to clients

at a much lower price than previously available by means of a UAS opposed to a helicopter

which was the industry standard in the past. I see the value of aerial photography and that it

could be a great service to provide for clients as long as it is practiced in a safe and responsible

manner and all laws and regulations are respected and followed. Furthermore, my small UAS

will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared

to larger manned aircraft. The operation of this UAS will minimize ecological damage and

promote economic growth by providing new opportunities to individuals and businesses in south

Florida.

The Pilot, Benjamin Chentnik, will provide the following levels of safety:

I will only operate in reasonably safe environments that are strictly controlled, are away from

power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas;

I will conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols, during which safety carries primary

importance.

I will operate the UAS below 300 feet and within a radius distance of 1000 feet from the

controller to both aid in direct line of sight visual observation;
I will operate the UAS for 5­15 minutes per flight;

I will land his UAS prior to the manufacturers recommended minimum level of battery

power;

I will operate his UAS only within visual line of sight (VLOS);

I will use the UAS global positioning system (GPS) flight safety feature whereby it hovers

and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control pilot is lost;

I will conduct all operations under his own personal and flight safety protocols (including

posting a warning sign reading: Attention Aerial Photography in Progress Remain

Back 150 feet) contained in the operating documents and will actively analyze flight

data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance the safety

protocols;

I will contact respective airports if operations will be within 5 miles to advise them of my

estimated flight time, flight duration, elevation of flight and other pertinent

information;

I will always obtain all necessary permissions prior to operation;

I will have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential

danger.
