FAA Exemption No. 11 080 Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0355 in the matter ofthe petition of FLYING CAM INC 

# The name and address ofthe applicant is: James M Finch J Finch Photography 9571 Ridgewood Court Bloomington, IL 61705 PH: 309-824-4508 Email: JFinchPhoto@live.com Certified Flight Instructor: 2214388 Commercial Pilot: Airplane Single & Multiengine Land InstrumentAirplane Private Privileges: GliderAero Tow Only Mechanic: Airframe Powerplant Dear Sir or Madam, In accordance with the FAAs 

# Guidelines for Submitting a Petition forExemption undersection 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, I James M. Finch, referred to hereafter as the petitioner, request exemption from the following sections ofTitle 14, Code of Federal

# Regulations§§ 61.113(a); 61.113(b); 91.119(c); 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409 (a)(1); 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) 

# &(b); 

# In orderto operate small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the purposes of aerial photography, cinematography, videography, mapping, crop surveying, inspections and other flight operations that could be performed safely and cost effectively with the use of small UAS at low altitude within the U.S. national airspace. Operations will be performed only at the request ofand with the authorization and permission ofclients ortheir authorized agents in orderto facilitate commerce and raise awareness ofthe beneficial uses ofsmall unmanned air systems. So long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA as required by Section 333. The conditions identified and proposed by the petitioner are drawn from references 1-3. The Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) 

# The petitioner seeks exemption from the above mentioned FARs for the following reasons; 61.113(a) 

# & (b); 

# the petitioner requests relief in order to facilitate the utilization of pilots, who hold a PRIVATE PILOT (or greater) certificate. Any pilots operating underthis exemption would be required to comply with any conditions as set forth and in a similar fashion to the previously granted exemptions. 91.119(c) 

# As discussed in Exemption 11138 (DOUGLAS TRUDEAU), operations conducted closer than 500 feet to the ground may require that the small UAS be operated closer than 500 feet to essential persons, or objects that would not be possible without additional relief. The petitioner requests modification, waiver or exemption and clarification concerning the terms "congested areas" and "densely populated". The petitioner requests waiver for this condition to allow reasonable and responsible operations in areas ofsubdivisions and neighborhoods if required. 91.121 

# As discussed in Exemption 11138 (DOUGLAS TRUDEAU) is inapplicable since the small UAS does not have an altimeter and instead utilizes electronic GPS with a barometric sensor for altitude information. 91.151(a) 

# As discussed in Exemption 11136 (ADVANCEDAVIATION SOLUTIONS LLC) prior relief has been granted for manned aircraft to operate at less than the prescribed minimums, including Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. In addition, similar UAS-specific relief has been granted in Exemption Nos. 8811, 10808, and 10673 for daytime, VFR conditions. The UAS provides battery power remaining in percent to the PIC. The small UAS batteries provide approximately 25 minutes of powered flight. Information provided in the operating documents discusses procedures regarding remaining battery power management. Those documents contain a condition in which the PIC will initiate a landing procedure when battery remaining reaches a specified level. Beyond that, the petitioner's small UAS initiates a "Go Home" (to the flight's origination point) when battery level drops to the "Low Battery" level. Given the limitations on proposed operations and the location ofthose proposed operations, The FAA found that a reduced minimum power reserve for flight in daytime VFR conditions was reasonable. 91.405(a); 91.407(a)(1); 91.409 (a)(1) & (2); 91.417(a) 

# & (b) 

# As discussed in Exemption 11138 (DOUGLAS TRUDEAU), The petitioner proposes to inspect and ensure that the small UAS is in a condition for safe flight in accordance with the operating documents. The FAA found that adherence to the petitioner's operating documents and the conditions and limitations specified, describing the requirements for maintenance, inspection, and record keeping, were sufficient to ensure that safety would not be adversely affected. In addition, the petitioner's own experience as an FAA licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic

# qualifies him to determine his craft's airworthiness. The Petitioner's small UAS The DJI Phantom 2 vision plus is a highly successful consumer grade small rotorcraft in the quadcopter configuration with an advertised weight of less than 44 Ounces (1242g) designed primarily to carry aloft a high definition camera. It has an advertised maximum speed of less than 30 knots (15m/s) and a maximum climb rate of less than 1200 feet per minute (6 m/s). It is powered by four electric motors with a distance between motors of less than 14 inches (350mm) It utilizes an internal inertial measuring unit (IMU) with integrated barometric sensor augmented with global positioning system (GPS) to maintain its geospatial orientation and position. It is controlled primarily through an FCC certified radio control (RC) unit. Real time video and telemetry information is transmitted back to a ground control station allowing the operator and/or PIC to monitor battery level, GPS signal strength, altitude (AGL), distance from PIC, camera imagery, and control camera angle. Risk mitigation The petitioner's small UAS has failsafe modes ofoperation for either loss of radio control, GPS signal, or low battery level. Altitude can be limited by the onboard flight controller and maximum altitude can be programmed by the PIC. Battery life limits flight times to approximately 25 minutes. The onboard flight controller will warn the pilot via telemetry and external lighting cues before reaching a low battery state. An automatic termination offlight and landing will be initiated when the battery reaches a predetermined state. It is anticipated that flights will usually last less than 10 minutes. More information is available on pages 41-43 ofthe attached Phantom 2 Vision plus User Manual version 1.8. Public interest Use ofthe UAS in lieu ofa manned aircraft would enhance safety and reduce the environmental impact as compared to similar operations conducted with manned aircraft of greater proportions, carrying a crew and flammable fuel. Additionally, use ofthe small SZUAS in order to facilitate commerce could lead to economic growth. Operations for this petition will enable service for property owners or their designees seeking an enhanced perspective for characteristics, amenities, and benefits oftheir desired photographic subjects that cannot be displayed through ground level videography/photography. Aerial photography is a valuable marketing tool that can lead to increased commerce and enhance personal photography. Crop surveying applications could lead to decreased use of pesticides and fertilizer and conservation ofwater as well as increased crop yields and decreased costs. Aerial surveying and inspections can increase work site efficiency, improve volumetric estimations and reduce risks. The petitioner will provide clients with photographic data for these purposes on a 'for hire' basis acting as an independent contractor. Liability insurance will be obtained commensurate with the granting ofthis request for exemption. Flight data including UAS flight time, Control Unit operation time, incident, accident, and details concerning any deviations from normal operations will be available to FAAfor use in collecting data regarding the use of UAS as part ofthis application. This data may be submitted to FAAvia traditional means, e.g. COA Monthly Reports, or other means as required. Conclusion The petitioner is requesting this exemption for the purposes of news gathering, real estate and general aerial photography. The petitioner's own market research shows pent up demand for these services currently exists in the real estate market and other markets are beginning

# to emerge. The petitioner is a freelance photographerwith clients in need ofthese services. A quick internet search demonstrates that many people currently operate similar UAS in exactly this fashion without, it is assumed, FAA authorization. The petitioner refrains from engaging in commercial use ofthe UAS without FAA authorization. The primary purpose of seeking this exemption is to obtain the capability to offerthose services while remaining in compliance. The petitioner understands the needs of his clients and ofthe FAA. His commercial pilot certificate, Airplane Single & Multiengine Land, and Instrument with private privileges for Glider ensures his knowledge ofthe airspace in which he will work. His FAA certification as an Airframe & Powerplant mechanic ensures the small UAV will be properly maintained and inspected for airworthiness before flight. Respectfully submitted

Press the link button with a thin object and hold until the link indicator blinks yellow. Release the link button. 3. Power on the Remote Controller. Link indicator will switch off, showing that a link has been successfully established.



### 5.7 Compliance Version Configuration As power levels vary between regulators, the Phantom Remote Controller's power output can be adjusted by twisting the potentiometer knob (Figure 28) on the back ofthe Remote Controller using a-flathead screwdriver. For CE compliance, set the Remote Controller to CE with a full counterclockwise turn. For FCC compliance, set the Remote Controllerto FCCwith a full clockwise turn. Be sure to follow relevant local regulations. Compliance can be configured using the PHANTOM RC Assistant Software. Select CE compliance version in Assistant Softwareto setit, or do the samewith FCC compliance version.

Figure 28 (1) Turn the potentiometer knob gently to avoid damage. (2) CE compliant devices have an effective communication range of 400 meters in open spaces due to power limitations. (3) FCC compliant deviceshave an effective range of 800 metersin open spaces. (4) Watch your flight distance as the Phantom 2 Vision+ will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) ifit flies beyondthe relevant range limits. (5) Always follow local laws and regulations. ©2014 DJI. All Rights Reserved.

## 6 Preparing the Range Extender The Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.. It "is used to extemling the ·effective range of-communication-between a Smartp-hone and the Phantom 

### 2 Vision+. In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 

### 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 

### 2 Vision+ may occur. Each.Range Extender has a unique MAC-address.and netwo.rk.name.(S.Sll)), details ofwhlch are printed on the label as 'Phantom_XXXXXX '. The 'XXXXXX' represents the last 

### 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. This can be renamed in the DJI VISION App.

# 1Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: M11ke sure to calibrete the c:ompess in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. (1) DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite. parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

# 0 (2) DO NOT carryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. (3) DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects.

Figure 50 

### 2.2 Stopping Motors Thereare two methods to stop the motors. i'1ethod 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Jv1otors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop.

Figure.51 Jv1ethod 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Jv1otors will stop after 3 seconds.
