Exemption No. 12130 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

– 2015

- 1651

Mr. Todd Warr 429 Autumn Chase Court Purcellville, VA 20132

Dear Mr. Warr :
This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and lim itations of the exemption, including the date it ends.

By letter dated May 3, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an exemption . The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned ai rcraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial imaging, video graphy , survey ing , and inspections

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA des cribing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

.

Airworthiness Certification

The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a Yuneec Q500

. The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of P ublic Law 112

− 95 in reference to 49 U

. S

. C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from2

14 CFR part 21

, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of pa rt 36, is
not necessary.

The Basis for Our Decision

You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection 1

. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption No s

. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA

− 2014

− 0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Lab s , Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA f ound that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest.

Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previo usly requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 ;

 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

 A grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision

In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Mr. Todd Warr is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petit ioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

Conditions and Limitations

In this grant of exemption, Mr. Todd Warr is hereafter referred to as the operator.

1 Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard the UA. Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.), electronic measurement (precision surveying, RF analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (part iculate measurement, etc.), or any other gathering of data by instruments aboard the UA.3

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the Yuneec Q500 when weighing les s than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption

.

2. Operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming are
not permitted.

3. The UA ma y not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL.

5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

- issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver’s license.

6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maint ains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times ;

e lectronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation fo r the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO.

7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in thi s grant of exemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limita tions in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The ope rator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The4

operator must also present up dated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FA A’s UAS Integration Office (AFS− 80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents.

8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS op eration or flight characteristics, e.g.

, replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and mu st remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property.

9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it i s in a condition for safe operation.

10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre

- flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre

- flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g.

, inoperable comp onents, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight.

11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components.

12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer safety bulletins.

13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Col u mbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC must also meet the flight revi ew requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and main taining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs5

(trai ni ng, proficiency, and experience

- building) and determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However, training operat ions may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During traini ng, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.

15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.

16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport sy mbo l as denoted on the current FAA

- published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management mus t be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS sign al, the UA must return to a
pre

- determined location within the pr ivate or controlled

- access property.

19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

20. The PIC is prohibi ted from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.

21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All operations shall be cond ucted in accordance with an ATO

- issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to co nduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA

.

22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N− Number) ma rkings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable.6

23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.

25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle.

26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonpartici pating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons r emain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons ; and b. The owner/ controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard

. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating persons under this exemption.

27. All operations shall be conducted over private or control led

- access property with permission from the property owner/controller or aut horized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted.

28. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the opera tional area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FA A's UAS Integration Office (AFS− 80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

**. REQUESTED RELIEF** 

I am requesting a grant of exemption of the following sections of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations:

 **14 CFR 21;**

 **14 CFR 91, et seq;**

 **14 CFR 45.23 (b);**

 **14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b);**

 **14 CFR 407 (a)(1);**

 **14 CFR 409 (a)(2);**

 **14 CFR 417 (a) & (b).**

I am also requ esting an Exemption from Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations for the following:

 **14 CFR 45.23 (b);**

 **14 CFR Part 21;**

 **14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b);**

 **91.7 (a);**

 **91.9 (b) (2);**

 **91.103 (b);**

 **91.119;**

 **91.405 (a);**

 **91.407 (a) (1);**

 **91409 (a) (2);**

 **91.417 (a) & (b).**

**14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: A irworthiness Certificates**  **91.7 (a)**

14 CFR § 91.203 Given the size, weight, speed, and lim ited operating area associated with the UAS aircraft to be utilized, I am asking exem ption from 14 CFR P art 21,Subpart H(Airworthiness Certificates) and §91.203 (a) and (b) (Certifications required), subject to certain conditions and lim itations, is warranted and m eets the requirem ents for an equivalent level of safety under14 CFR P art 11 and Section 333 of the Reform Act.

The Federal Aviation Act U.S.C. 44701 (f) and 333 of the Reform Act both authorize the FAA to Exem pt aircraft from the requirem ent for an airw orthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, w eight, speed, operational capability, and proxim ity to airports and populated areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis of these criteria dem onstrated that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the restricte d environm ent and under conditions proposed

, will be at least as safe, or safer, than aTodd W arr Request for Exemption for Commercial UAS Operation Ma y 3, 2015

. I request an exem ption f rom 14 CFR 91.7 (a) Civil Aircraft Airw orthiness.

**14 C.F.R. 45. 23**  **( b**  **): Marking of the A**  **ircraft**

Furtherm ore I request an exem ption from §45.23 Marking of the aircraft because m y UAS w ill not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which to m ark certain words or phrases. Additionally two

- inch lettering is difficult to place on such a small aircraft with dim ensions sm aller than the m inim al lettering requirem ent.

Even though the UAS will have no airworthiness certificate, an exem ption m ay be needed. The w ord “Experim ental” could be placed on the UAS to com ply with 45.29 (f) in a size suitable for t he available space. The UAS is equipted with LED lights to aid in visibility.

**14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b): Private pilot privileges an d limitations: Pilot in command** 

Under §61.113 (a) and(b) private pilots are lim ited to non

- commercial operations, however I can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current regulations because m y UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. I have a Private Pilots Licens e and will ensure all operations are conducted by a person with at a m inimum a Private Pilots Certificate.

**14 CFR 91.9 (b) (2) :**  **Civil A ircraft Flight Manual in the A**  **ir craft** 

An exem ption to the part will be needed since there is nowhere to place a copy o f a flight manual on board the UAS.

**14 C.F.R. 91.103 (b)(1), (b)(2): Preflight Action**

This requires each PIC to take certain actions before flight to insure safety of flight. There is no approved flight m anual, however the PIC w ill take actions prior to flight by reviewing the weather, flight battery requirem ents, and e nsuring there is a safe location to land and depart so as not to cause undue hazard to people or property on the ground. The manufactures manual w ill be used prior to flight to e nsure sa fety.

**14 CFR 91.119: Minimum Safe A**  **ltitudes**

Due to the lim itation that operations be conducted at or below 400 feet AGL, an

exem ption w ill be necessary to m eet 91.119. The typical UAS flight w ill be operated as follow s:

1 ) Operate the UAS for 10

- 15 m inutes per flight, land m y UAS according to the manufacturer’s recommended m inim um level of battery power. 2 ) Operate m y UAS only within visual line of sight (VLOS). 3) Always obtain all necessary perm issions prior to operation. 4 ) P rocedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger.Todd W arr Request for Exemption for Commercial UAS Operation Ma y 3, 2015

twarr3@yahoo.com

Page **4** of **6 14 CFR 91.121: A**  **ltimeter Setting**

The UAS is not equipped with an altim eter setting device. GPS will be used on board the UAS to determine altitude by reference to the ground (AGL).

**14 CFR 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions**

An exem ption from 91.151 will be necessary as the norm al flight tim e will only be 10

- 15 m inutes. The UAS is fueled by battery power and a long duration flight is not po ssible. Also since all flights w ill be conducted Line of Sight (LOS), this requirement is not applicable.

**14 CFR 91.405 (**  **a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417 (a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections** 

These regulations require the owner/operator to have the airc raft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part. An equivalent level of safety w ill be m aintained because of the small size and lim itations of this UAS. Maintenance will be accom plished by the operator pursuant to the ow ners m anual. The operator will ensure that the UAS is in proper working order prior to each flight, perform necessary m aintenance, and keep a log of maintenance. The operator is the person m ost familiar w ith the UASs operation and is best suited to m aintain in an airworthy condit ion to provide equivalent level of safety.

**. Commercial and Public**  **Benefits**

G ranting this exem ption will by provide a safe (by way of a unm anned system) and efficient means to meet technical problem s solvable by elevated data collection instrum ents. Our typical custom er base is sm all to m edium size business and individuals who would be unable to acquire this service by m anned aircraft due to it being cost prohibited. By m oving these functions to UAS based ai rcraft not only can m ore people benefit from this service but it w ill reduce aircraft noise, pollu tion, reduce airport congestion.

In addition, it will reduce the am ount of people and property exposed to the hazards of a ma nned aircraft flying at low alt itude with the potential for catastrophic results. There

are no com bustibles on

- board the UAS, thus eliminating the risk of explosion and fire due to a crash. The operation of t his UAS will m inim ize ecological dam age and prom ote econom ic grow th by provid ing inform ation to companies in the area that w ould otherwise be unavailable. Additionally

, this system would eliminate a distraction to air traffic control lers who mu st monitor an aircraft that usually wants' to take pictures in the "wrong place at the

w rong tim e" thus reducing workload on ATC.

The use of UAS, w ould allow these services to be provided and thus benefit bot h the community and aviation by:

1. Providing a lower cost to the individual needing these services. 2. Zero emissions from the UA S. 3. Reduced noise over an aircraft. 4. Reduced hazard to people or property on the ground.Todd W arr Request for Exemption for Commercial UAS Operation Ma y 3, 2015

twarr3@yahoo.com

Page **5** of **6** The use of a UAV will provide a level of safety at least equal to existing rules and will only be operated in a safe environm ent that is strictly controlled. Operations will only be conducted after a careful review of the area and w eather conditions. Safety is the num ber one priority.

**4**

**. SUMMARY** 

Granting this exem ption is a " win win " situation for individual s in need of this service. The community benefits from reduced pollution and noise. The econom y benefits by creating jobs for sm all businesses. The consumer benefits from reducing the cost of this service. The FAA benefits by regulating the use of UASs so that safety and accountability can be ma intained and monitored.

Approval of exem ptions allowing comm ercial operations of UASs in the media w ill enhance safety by reducing risk associated with conventional aircraft operations. The operation of UASs w eighting less than 55lbs by a certified pi lot will enhance safety to the community increase awareness of properly flow n UASs, elim inate the risk of collision with aircraft operating in the airspace and around airports and provide jobs.
