Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act

Dear Sir or Madam:

Much time and research was put in to this petition without the assistance of professional legal consultants.

Pursuant to Section 333 of the Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA ) Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act), and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Justin Deierling and Adam Deierling hereby apply for an exemption from th e Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) listed below to allow operation of our Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) so long as such operations are conducted
with and under the conditi ons outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333.

This exemption will allow Adam Deierling and Justin Deierling to gather an array of imagery and data from our Unmanned Aircraft System in a safe an economical way. Our area s of proposed operation include the following:

Event Photography/Videography

 Weddings

 Parties

 Public e vents (festivals, marathons, fireworks etc.)

 Real estate (commercial, residential, farms, etc.)

 Motion p icture p roductions

 Commercial and c orporate produc tions

 Virtual t ours

 Construction

 Landscapes (golf course, f arms, e tc.)

Public SafetyJanuary 13, 2016

 HAZMAT s cene s urveillance

 Fire s cene s urveillance

 Training v ideos

 Building i nspection

 Pipeline Inspection

Aircraft Type & Specifications:

Make: DJI Model: Phantom 3 Weight: 2 .82 pounds Diagonal Size: 23.23 inches

Regulations from which the exemption is requested:

14 CFR Part 21 subpart H 14 CFR 45.23 (b) 14 CFR 91.7 (a) 14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2)
14 CFR 91.103
14 CFR 91.109
14 CFR 91.119
14 CFR 91.121 14 CFR 91.203 (a) and (b) 14 CFR 91.405 (a) 14 CFR 91.407 (a) 14 CFR 91.409 (a) (2) 14 CFR 91.417 (a) and (b)

Justin and Adam Deierling are seeking relief from all FARs above preventing applicant from conducting aerial photography and video at levels less than 400 feet above g round level (AGL) . The UAS to be used is a DJI Phantom 3. At 2.82 pounds , the weight of the UAS meets the definition of “small unmanned aircraft”
found in section 331 “The Reform Act”. The m aximum speed of the UAS is 35.8 miles per hour . The UAS is battery powered with no combustible fuels onboard. Maximum flight time for this particular UAS is 25 minutes battery life, and all flights to be terminated with 25% battery life remaining. Given the size, weight,January 13, 2016

speed, and limited operating area associated wi th the aircraft to be utilized we find this exception to be reasonable with an equivalent, or greater, level of safety to be reached by the operator.

Safety

Being that I, Justin Deierling, hold a private pilot's license and work in the public safety field, I know safety is paramount. I, along with Adam Deierling, will be operating every flight with extreme caution. Each scheduled flight will be met with an extensive plan that begins days prior to takeoff. This planning will
include , but is not limited to: o btaining permission from required parties

, identifying known hazards in the area , monitoring weather , and identifying if the

area is within 5 miles of the airport

. We will use all tools and resources available including ForeF light on an iPad with GPS and the FAA application "B4UFLY." If it is found that flight is required within 5 miles of an airport or helipad, permission will be requested with the airport and/or governing FAA control center and proper
communication will be established

. The plannin g will continue to the day of the

event on which a safety briefing , including all parties involved, will be held. The briefing will include, but not limited to, "fly no fly" decisions (based on meteorological conditions and last minute safety issues), disc ussion of the flight plan , a ssurance that all permission and required paperwork are on hand, preflight inspections, calibration of the aircraft and any last minute discussion necessary for safe flight. During operation

, we will comply to all safety regula tions required by the FAA . The UAS visual observer will be in voice distance of the pilot in command (PIC) at all times to ensure the safest operation of flight.

In regards to the safety of the aircraft itself, w e have done an ample amount of
research and feel that we have chose n a d rone that is among the safest in its
class. The DJI Phantom 3 is completely under control of the operator, however,
the d rone has automatic safety features that make sure each flight is operating safely at all times. T hese features include a " f ailsafe system "

, " geofence " technology , and "a uto

- return home ” in the event of communication failure.January 13, 2016

Public Interest

By being granted this ex emptio n, we will be able to utilize an unmanned aircraft
that is both economical and safe to the public and the environment. With this drone, we will provide a service to the public which will allow them to view

, market

, and promote their property , movies, products and events in a unique and affordable way. Most importantly

, we will be able to provide service to emergency responders by flying in to areas to gather air samples and inspect
hazardous scenes in which human life c ould potentially be at risk.

We thank you for your time and consideration.
