Petition for Exemption 14 CFR § 11.81

Exemption petition unde r SEC 333

Name: Jeffrey Brock

206 Oconee DR Cohutta, GA 30710

Petition for Exemption under Sec 333

Sec 333 prohibits the use of a UAS for commercial purposes on private property. I have been flying remote control aircraft since April 200 1 and am simply petitioning for an exemption to provide a commercial service to private land owners and companies who wish to obtain and capture Aerial photos and videos of said property for purposes including real e state listings, insurance property claims, and for use as a marketing tool for businesses. I would like to be able to accept payment for these services therefore making this a commercial use of a UAS.

Benefit to Public My request benefits the public as a whole b y providing an opportunity for small business owners, real estate agents, and others who wish to document their land or property to take advantage of the technology that now exists in the form of UAS’s and allows them to do so using an experienced
and cert ified RC Pilot in Command that understands how to safely operate such technology.

Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety, or how the exemption would provide a level of safety at l east equal to the existing rule

As a previously licensed G e neral Aviation P ilot (student) (non

- current) with over 50 hours of flight
instructions and 20 hours of solo flight and the ability to safely operate aircraft

, the refore understanding the importance of different uses and safety concerns regarding FAA regulated airspace, I would be a good candidate for exemption of Sec 333 while not putting Air Safety in any
advanced risk. The specific UAS ( Phantom 2 whose Opera ting Manual is Included in my petition) I am seeking exemption with is one with many safety programs, including Return Home and GPS navigating. When flying for this commercial purpose I would be flying at a maximum altitude of 100
feet and flying most ly vertically fo r the purposes of taking photos and video decreasing the risk of any interference. My general knowledge of the aviation safety systems implemented by the FAA would be used to ensure that safety would not be affected by my operations. I would not be flying near disaster areas, sporting events, or high traffic areas including airports, and I would pay
attention to NOTAMS as posted online

. http://notams.aim.faa.gov/notamSearch/nsapp.html#/

I i ntend to fly in these safe modes:

Flight Mode 1

– Fail Safe (Default) Enhanced Fail

- safe will be triggered when the MC loses the control signal, in these following
situations.

 Signal lost between the transmitter and receiver, e.g. quad

- rotor is out of the
communicati on range, or transmitter is powered off, etc. One or more connections of A, E, T, R, U channels between main controller and receiver is

lost. If this happens before take

- off, the motors will not work if you push the throttle stick; if this happens during t he flight, the LED will flash yellow to warn, in addition to the fail

- safe method.

 The quad

- rotor will automatically land if the fail

- safe mode is active, or return home if in GPS mode.

 Before takeoff, the current position will be saved as the home point b y the MC automatically when you push the throttle stick first time, after 6 or more GPS satellites are found for more than 8 seconds.

 Make sure to save the home location before takeoff and keep it in mind clearly for safety

reasons.

 When you switch to ATTI . Mode, MC will disengage enhanced failed

- safe mode, you can re

gain control of quad

- rotor.

Flight Mode 2

– GPS (

Dual Default Set

) The GPS & Compass is used to identify the position and direction. GPS & Compass can be used to:

 in Control Mode can be switched to GPS Atti. Mode ( In GPS cruise mode, it is not only can keep the aircraft attitude stable and also can lock the aircraf t position accurately. Flight speed control, the stick center position is for 0m/s, its endpoint is the maximum speed preset by the user. The GPS cruise mode helps the aircraft to have accurate and smooth flight movement that is specially fit for aerial ph otography )

 in Intelligent Orientation Control (I OC

- Forward Direction: Multi

- rotor will fly along this direction when you push the elevator stick.

 Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi

- rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using Intel ligent Orientation Control ( IOC

- , wherever the n ose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction ) can use Home Lock to allow the aircraft according to the Home Point to tell direction

 provides for sa

fer operation of aircraft and assist pilot when performing safe maneuvers

 Self

- Levelin g

– Brings the Phantom 2 to a level attitude when the elevator and aileron inputs

are at neutral.

 Position Hold

– The 350 QX uses GPS to hold a given locatio n w hen this function is activated If GPS is enabled and has a solid lock, the aircraft will hol d its position when elevator or aileron inputs are at neutral.

 Throttle provides proportional thrust

– The throttle responds directly to the throttle input, givin g the pilot direct control over hovering as well as ascent and descent rates.

Flight Mode 3

– Re turn Home The Dji Phantom 2 will return to take off point ( Home Point ) should the aircraft lose communication with main controller

.I will follow these suggested safety regulations

 Always keep aircraft in sight and under control.

 Always keep people and pets at least 35 feet (10 meters) away w hen the battery is connected.

 Keep children out of the vicinity of this product at all times.

 Always use fully charged batteries.

 Always keep transmitter powered on while aircraft is powered.

 Always remove batteries before disassembly.

 Always keep moving p arts clean.

 Always keep parts dry.

 Always let parts cool after use before touching.

 Always remove batteries after use.

 Always have a first aid kit on location

.

 Always have an appropriate fire extinguisher on location

.

 Never operate aircraft with damaged wiring.

 Never touch moving parts.

The Phantom 2 has many more feature s than other Blade quad copters thus providing an exceptional level of safety.

I, Jeffrey Brock am seeking an exemption of the FAA’s Sec 333 rules that does not allow the use of an Unmanned Aircraft to be used for Commercial purposes in regar ds to National Airspace Safety.

I am simply petitioning for an exemption to provide a commercial service to private land owners and companies who wish to obtain and capture Aerial photos and videos of said property for purposes including real estate listin gs, insurance property claims, and for use as a marketing tool for businesses.

I fully understanding the importance of different uses and safety concerns regarding FAA regulated airspace, I would be a good candidate for exemption of Sec 333 while not putting Air Safety in any accelerated risk. The specific UAS ( DJI Phantom 2 whose Operating Manual is Included in my petition) I am seeking exemption with is one with many safety programs, includ ing IOC ( Intelligent Orientation Control ) technology and GPS navigating. When flying for this commercial purpose I would be flying at a maximum altitude of 100 feet and flying mostly vertically for the purposes of taking photos, decreasing the risk of any interference. My general knowled ge of the aviation safety systems implemented by the FAA would be used to ensure that safety would not be affected by my operations. I would not be flying near disaster areas , sporting events, or high traffic areas including airports, and I would pay atten tion to NOTAMS.

I understand and will comply with all the health and safety regulations for P ilot in Command and will be the only operator under this exemption.
