Re: Amendment to Exemption 12571 issued pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Reform Act and 

Part II of the Federal Aviation Regulations in Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-2353. 

Dear Madam, Sir, 

Landpoint, LLC currently holds an Exemption numbered 12571 (hereinafter the Exemption) 

issued for the purpose of performing aerial imaging and data collection. Land point herby requests 

an amendment to that Exemption to include additional small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) 

that fully complies with the conditions of the Exemption to support client requests (public 

interest). 

The requested systems (to be used under the same terms and conditions contained in the 

original Exemption) to be added to our existing Exemption is cited below. 

• DJIM100 • DJI Phantom 3 Pro 

The DJI M100, weighing 7.5 pounds (Maximum Take-off Weight), contains a rich array of 

advanced sensors called Guidance. These sensors work together to provide the user with full 

situational awareness and support obstacle avoidance: 

• Guidance is a revolutionary visual sensing system. With a powerful processing core, 

integrated visual cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and the most advanced computer vision 

algorithms in the world, Guidance protects the platform and gives us a new level of safety 

and confidence in flight. Guidance includes five sensor modules and one central processor. 

• Even without GPS, the system can achieve hovering that is accurate to within centimeters. 

Even when flying at high speeds, high-precision stereo algorithms provide positioning 

information over nearly any terrain. Guidance's vision positioning system is effective at 

altitudes of up to 65 feet (20 meters). 

• Guidance continuously scans the nearby environment and detects obstacles in real time. 

When used with a DJI flight controller, it can tell the flight system to automatically avoid 

collision, even at high speeds. 

The DJI Phantom 3 Pro, weighing 2.8 pounds, contains a range of advanced sensors to help 

stabilize and insure safety. The Phantom 3 Pro has built in sensors called "Vision Positioning 

System". It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real 

time to give easier flight abilities. The Phantom 3 Pro also has GPS-Assisted Hover to help 

stabilize the UAS when hovering for added safety. 
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,
