## Turbine AircraftLogistics, LLC ("Petitioner or Operator") herebypetitions for exemptions from 14 C.F.R. Part 21, 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113(a) and (b), 61.133(a), 91.7(a), 91.9(b)(2), 91.103(b)(1), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151, 91.203(a) and (b), 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1) 91.409(a)(2). I. Petition Summary
Ifgranted, this exemptionwould allowthe operatorto operate a small UAS (under 55lbs) with an attached camerafor thepurpose ofaerial photography and videography. With a combination offactors below, the operatoris confidentthat itcanoperate the UAS in

## a manner equalto the safety standards setforth bythe FARs for civillymanned aircraft:

• Reliability • Returnto designatedpointinthe eventofa lostcontrol link • Returnto designatedpoint automatically with a lowbattery thatis dynamically updated depending howfar away theUAS is from the designatedpoint • Lowweight • Slow speed •No passengers to be carried • Experience ofthe crewmembers • Stringentmaintenanceprogram The operatorwill be operating the UAS for the purpose ofproviding photographs and video as neededto the public for a fee. Bringing more competitionto the marketplace ina currentlyvery small industry canbe found to be inthepublicinterest and thereforthe FAA canfind good causeto grantthe exemption. II. Exemptions Requested The operatoris requesting relieffrom the following FAAregulations: • FARpart21 (Certificationprocedures) • FAR 61.113 (a) and (b) (Private pilotprivileges and limitations) • FAR61.133(a) (Commercialpilotprivileges and limitations) • FAR91.7(a) (Civil aircraft airworthiness) • FAR91.9(b)(2) (Civil aircraft flight manual, markings, placardsrequirement) •FAR91.103(b)(l) (Preflight action) •FAR91.119(c) (Minimum safe altitudes) •FAR91.121 (Altimeter settings) •FAR91.151 (Fuel requirements) •FAR91.203(a) and (b) (Civil aircraft certificationsrequired) •FAR91.405(a) (Maintenance Required) • FAR91.409(a)(1) and (a)(2) (Inspections)

# III. OperationalProcedures to Satisfy Section 333 1. Unmanned Aircraft System 1.1 TheUAS the operator seeks exemptionfor is manufacturedby DJI andthe model is the DJI Inspire 1. This UAS is anupgrade ofthe DJI UAS series. The DJI Inspire 1is a 6.47lb multirotor (4 rotors) UAS with approximately 18 minutes ofendurance. TheDJI Inspire 1's purpose is to carry a small camera as its payload. TheInspire 1hasthe ability to be controlledby a single crewmember acting as pilotincommandby wireless remote control on a 2.4GHzbandhaving a transmitting distance of2km (1.08nm). 1.2 TheDJI Inspire 1is equippedwith lostlinkprotection (referredto as "ReturnTo Home" (RTH) in the DJI Inspire 1UserManual), allowing the UAS to automatically climb vertically to a safe altitude to clear obstacles; thenproceedto a pre-designatedpointto automatically land. At any time the UAS andthe controllerre-establishlink, the PIC can cancelthe RTH andresume control ofthe UAS. Inthe eventoflost GPS signal, control to the DJI Inspire 1 UAS is not lost. Since all operations will be conductedunder Visual Line ofSightVLOS the PIC cancontrol the aircraftbackto a safe locationto land. 1.3 Becausethe DJI Inspire 1UAS does nothave the endurance to meettherequirements of FAR91.155(b), the operatorisrequesting exceptionfrom this regulation and substitutedwith the following standard: All flights will be terminated at a maximum ofa 25-minute flight or whenthe battery level reaches 25% (whichever occurs first). 1.4The operatorwill register the UAS IAW FARpart47. The operator'sUAS will have identificationmakings in accordance withFAR45(c). The DJI Inspire 1UAS is too smallto practically display registrationmarkings IAW FAR45.29(a) though (e). Theregistration marks will be affixed as large as practicallAWFAR45.29(±). 1.5 The operator is requesting relieffrom FAR91.121 becausethe DJI Inspire 1UAS is not equippedwith a standard adjustable barometric altimeter system. TheDJI Inspire 1UAS collects altitude informationfor two sources: GPS andbarometric aiding. Uponpoweringthe DJI Inspire 1, the system will resetthe altitude readout onthe controller'sbase stationto 0 feet above ground level (AGL). The PIC then will reference the digitally displayed altitude in AGL for the duration ofthe flight. 1.6 Because ofthe small size, lowweight, slow speed, and limited operating area ofthe DJI Inspire 1UAS, the operator is requesting relieffrom CFRpart21(h) (airworthiness certificates). The operatorhas determinedthatitcanoperate the DJI Inspire 1UAS to an equivalent level ofsafety setforth underpart 21 ofthe CFRs andmeets therequirements set forth inthe 333 exemption. 1.7 Priorto flight, the DJI Inspire 1UAS will be determinedto be inan airworthy conditionlAW the pre-flight checklist outlined inthe DJI Inspire 1UserManual. The operatoris requesting exemptionfrom required inspections ofFAR91.409(a)(1) and (2) and will adoptthe manufactures recommended inspectionsprogram as outlined inthe following paragraph.

## Because the FAAhas not established an inspection standard for UAS as have been established for manned aircraftunder FAR43.13 appendix D, the operator is requesting an exemption from the maintenance scope and detail ofF AR43.13 appendix D andreplaced withthemanufactures recommended maintenance program: The operator will inspect and maintainthe DJI Inspire 1UAS lAWDJI Inspire 1Maintenance Manual (See DJI Inspire 1 Maintenance Manual). The operatorwill follow the manufactures recommended inspection interval to preform comprehensivemaintenance ofthe DJI Inspire 1every 50 flight hours or 200 flights, whichever comes first as outlined inthe DJI Inspire 1Maintenance Manual. Any maintenance required will be performedby the Manufacturer (DJI) ofthe UAS. 1.8 The operatorwill adopt maintenance record requirements setforth underFAR91.417. 1.9 TheDJI Inspire 1UAS operates onthe 2.4GHzfrequency band for bothUAS control as well as video downlink. Boththe DJI Inspire 1UAS as well and the UAS remote controller comply withpart 15 ofthe FCC rules (see page 33 ofthe DJI Inspire 1user manual). The DJI Inspire 1is equippedwith a visionpositioning system along with a sonar system in orderto be able to fly inside a building and stillremain stable. The DJI Inspire 1'sprimary payloadis a small cameramounted with a gimbal, with a combined weight ofless than onepound. 1.10 Refer to DJI Inspire 1UserManual for more detail onthe Inspire 1UAS. 2.

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Inspire 1 's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight datafor each flight. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: Pmode (Positioning) :Pmode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected bythe Inspire 1depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATTl: NeitherGPS orVision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, so only altitude is controlled. Amode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometerto maintain altitude. If it is still receiving aGPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lost and ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refertothe IOC in Appendix.

:\;): Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The INSPIRE 1comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:

## Return to Home (RTH) The Return to Horne (RTH) brings the aircraft backto the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH.**~** q;J

Home Point

Smart RTH GPS**~Ill** Description The Horne Point isthe location atwhich your aircrafttakes offwhen the GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through the GPS icon (**11** ). If you are using the Dynamic Horne Point setting, the Home Pointwill be updated to yourcurrent position as you move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicatorblinks green.
Using the RTH button on the rernote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for rnore information) or the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the latest recorded Home Point, you rnay control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Srnart RTH. Press the Srnart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit Smart RTH and regain the control.

I -' :-, •: 13INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return ofthe aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Horne Point when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its distancefrom the Home Point. Aircraftwill land automatically ifthe current battery level can only supportthe aircraft to land tothe ground from the current altitude. User can use the remote controllerto control the aircraft's orientation during the landing process.

## Vision Positioning System DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning

# ·~-~·.~---[2]**·---~/** 'c;::.i [1]----·_j

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

### ~

# ~ 16

....INSPIRE 1 User Manual
Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system

cannot work properlyon surfaces without pattern variations. 3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light,

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to lift off, andthe Inspire 1will hcver in place. 

# 6 The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonicwaves may net be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operatethe aircraft cautiouslywhen in any ofthe following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8m/s at 2 meters orover 4m/s at 1meter). • Flying overwaterortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequentlyordrastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns ortexture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

### Gimbal Operation Modes Three Gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the Camera page of the DJI Pilot App. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote controllerfor changes to take effect. Referto the table belowfor details:

Pitch

Follow Mode Pan

The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-Viewflying experience. The Gimbal's motion is independent ofthe aircraft's orientation. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using asecond remote controller. Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain unchanged during the re-alignment.**~** • Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. acollision. Please take off from flat, open ground and protectthe gimbal after powering up. • Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The

gimbal will recoverwhen it dries out.

### This chapter describes the flight safety and flight restrictions.

44 '

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in asuitable location. 

## Flight Environment Requirements 1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10rn/s ,

snow, rain and smog. 2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board

compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 6. The Inspire 1cannot operate within the polarareas in "P" mode. JJ 

## Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details ofthese flight limits are described in the following sect'ion. All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limitsfunction includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. When operating in PMode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones worktogetherto manage flight. In A mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higherthan 120 meters. 

### Max Height & 

### Radius Limits Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these settings. The tables below showthe details ofthese limits.

All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-rnc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. CategoryASafety Zone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude zones". Flight is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around adesignated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 krn) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum altitude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 krn) to 400 feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 krn). (4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the safety zone, awarning message will appearon the DJI Pilot App.
