Dear FAA, In accordance with the FAA's Guidelines for Submitting a Petition for Exemption under section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012, I, CESAR 

# R. MARDIROSSIAN, request exemption from the following sections ofTitle 14, Code of Federal Regulations §§61.1 3(a). 61.1 3(b). 91.1 9(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 bythe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) forthe purposes of aerial photography, structural inspections of bridges, pipelines, well and cell towers, real estate marketing and surveys and otherflight operations that could be

1

## performed safely and more cost effectively with the use ofsmall UAS at low altitude within the U.S. national airspace system as compared to a manned aircraft. 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 airsystems. So long as such operations are conducted within and underthe conditions outlined herein or as may be established bythe FAA as required by Section 333. The 31 conditions identified and proposed by, CESAR R. MARDIROSSIAN, are drawn from reference 1. The FARs I, CESAR R. MARDIROSSIAN, request exemption from the above-mentioned FARs for the following reasons. I have been a licensed Private Pilot since June of 1988, Certificate#2400042, hold a Current Medical Certificate Third Class 61.1 3(a) & 

## (b). I, CESAR R. MARDIROSSIAN, request relief in ordertofacilitate the utilization ofpilots, who hold a PRIVATE PILOT {orgreater) certificate. Any pilots operating underthis exemption would be required to comply with any conditions as set forth and in a similarfashion to the previously granted exemptions. A Visual Observerwill be used at all times while underthis requested exemption. 91.1 9(c) As discussed in Exemption 11138 (DOUGLAS TRUDEAU), operations conducted closer than 500 feet to the ground may require that the UA be operated closer than 500 feet to essential persons, or objects that would not be possible without additional relief. The petitioner requests modification, waiver orexemption and clarification concerning the terms "congested areas" and "densely populated". I, CESAR R. MARDIROSSIAN, request waiverfor this condition to allow reasonable and responsible operations with safety as my main concern in areas ofsubdivisions and neighborhoods if required. 91.151 (a) as discussed in Exemption 11136 (ADVANCED AVIATION SOLUTIONS LLC) prior relief has been granted for manned aircraftto 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. 881 , 10808, and 10673 for daytime, VFR conditions. The UAS provides battery power remaining in percent to the PIC. The UA batteries provide approximately 23 minutes ofpowered 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. Given the limitations on proposed operations and the location ofthose proposed operations, The FAAfound that a reduced minimum power reserve forflight 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 1138 (DOUGLAS TRUDEAU), I, CESAR R. MARDIROSSIAN, propose to inspect and ensure that the UAS is in a condition for safe flight in accordance with the operating documents. The

2

## FAAfound that adherence to the petitioner's operating documents and the conditions and limitations specified, describing the requirements for maintenance, inspection, and record keeping, were sufficientto ensure that safetywould not be adversely affected. The UAS The DJI Phantom 3 Professional is a highly successful consumergrade small rotorcraft in the quad copter configuration with an advertised weight of2.82 pounds (1280g) designed primarilyto carry aloft a high definition 4k Resolution camera. It has an advertised maximum speed ofless than 32 knots (16m/s) and a maximum climb rate ofless than 985 feet per minute (5 m/s). It is powered byfour electric motors with a distance between motors of less than 14 inches. 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 primarilythrough 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 gimbal camera angle. It has fail-safe modes ofoperation for either loss of RC orGPS signal. Altitude can be limited by the onboard flight controller and maximum altitude can be preprogrammed by the PIC. Battery life limits flight times to approximately 23 minutes. The onboard flight controllerwill warn the pilotvia telemetry and external lighting cues before reaching a low battery state. An automatictermination offlight and landing will be initiated when the battery reaches a predetermined low state. It is anticipated that flights will usually last less than 16 minutes. More information is available in attachment Risk mitigation I, CESAR 

# R. MARDlROSSIAN, have reviewed FAA exemptions reference's 31 Conditions and Limitations section as found in (FAA Exemption No. 11603, Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2015-0521in the mannerofthe petition ofJOHN KELLER), and believe that the procedures specified therein are reasonable and will be utilized in orderto manage and mitigate risk and ensure public safety. A preflight checklist included by attachment as (Safety Guidelines Disclaimer), will be utilized as well as other checklists and employed to ensure thatthe UAS's airworthiness will be verified before launch. Airworthiness will be maintained by performance of routine inspections before each flight, maintaining flight and maintenance logs to record time on failure prone components. I, CESAR 

# R. MARDIROSSIAN, request that in a mannersimilarto reference 4, be allowed to operate within 5 miles ofan airport provided that "The UA may not operate in Class B, C, or D airspace without written approval from the FAA. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles ofthe geographic centerofa non towered airport as denoted on a current FAA published aeronautical chart unless



## 3

## a letterofagreementwith that airport's management is obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOT AM as required bythe operator's COA. The letter ofagreementwith the airport management must be made available to the Administrator upon request." Operations within 5 miles ofan airport are not anticipated to be routine but I am requesting a mechanism to facilitate such activities without requesting a new and separate exemption(s) should the need arise. Operations within class B airspace are not requested due tothe lack of mode C transponder. Public interest Use ofthe UAS in lieu of a manned aircraft would enhance safety and reduce the environmental impact as compared to similar operations conducted with manned aircraft ofgreater proportions, carrying a crew and flammable·fuel. In regards to performing inspections of bridges, towers, and natural gas pipelines the UAS will minimize the risk to persons attempting to climb these structures and photograph problem areas. It will provide a wayfor companies to have their engineers review photographs and provide additional safetyto the general public in regards to towers failing or natural gas pipelines having structural issues. Manyofthe natural gas pipelines in ourarea travel in areas that are hard to reach by vehicle orfoot and ifan area is suspected ofhaving problems the UAS can reach itto make an assessment easier and safer. I, CESAR 

# R. MARDIROSSIAN, will also make the UAS and myselfavailable to local volunteer organizations (for no charge) such as fire departments, local law enforcement, etc., to perform search and rescue operations, orother similar events as directed by authorities. In addition the use ofthe UAS in ordertofacilitate commerce could lead to economic growth. Operationsforthis petition will enable service for property owners ortheir designates seeking an enhanced perspective for characteristics, amenities, and benefits oftheirdesired photographic subjects that cannot be displayed through ground level photography. Aerial photography is a valuable marketing tool that can lead to increased commerce and enhance my personal photography. A visual observerwill be utilized at all times that the UAS is performing duties for compensation and the PIC will hold a Private Pilots license. Flight data including UAS flight time, Control Unit operation time, incident, and details will be recorded for each flight and made available to the FAAatanytime as requested. Any deviations from normal operationswill also be recorded and made available tothe FAA.

Conclusion I, CESAR 

# R. MARDIROSSIAN am requesting this exemption for the purposes ofaerial photography of real estate, bridge inspections, land surveying, pipeline inspections, tower inspections, Aerial filming, Aerial videography, and cinematography to enhance academic community awareness and photographyfor coverage ofevents, enhanced real estate listings, structural inspections and otherflight operations.

The reason for such a general and broad based request is that I, CESAR 

# R. MARDIROSSIAN, wish to utilize a commercial business enterprise in orderto capitalize on opportunities as they may arise in the future without the long turnaround time associated with additional exemptions. The need for Licensed FAA Pilots who have the experience, knowledge and experience of operating within The National Airspace System will help ensure the growth ofthis market segmentwill be successful and in the public interest. I have been a licensed Private Pilot since June of 1988, Certificate

# # 2400042, hold a Current Medical Certificate Third Class, and have Radio Controlled Aircraft experience as well owning various battery operated planes and electric ducted fanjets, as well as being a memberofthe AMA (Academy ofModel Aeronautics). I lookforward to helping pave the wayfor successful UAS Operations within the National Airspace System.

Sincerely, CESAR

# Flight Modes, Functions and Warnings Flight Modes 

### (&,WARNING) To avoid serious injuryand propertydamage, observethefollowing rule: 1) 

### Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sUfficientlyfamiliar with

the aircraft's behaviorforeach flight mode, since disabling GPS may result in being unableto land theaircraftsafely. 

## ( NOTICE J ? mode is preferred for most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when ? mode is unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious whenflying in Amode. 1) ? mode (Posrtioning): Pmode works best when the G?S signal is strong. There are three different states

of Pmode, which will be automatically selected bythe Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: a) P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, andthe a1rcraft is using GPSfor positioning. b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOTavailable, the aircraftwill use the Vision Positioning System to hover accurately.

Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over water, oversurfaceswtthoutaclear pattern, or in alow light environment. c) P-ATII: When neitherGPS norVision Positioning is available, the aircraft is using only its barometerfor posttioning, soonly altitude is controlled. 2) Amode (Altitude): The G?Sand Vision Positioning System are NOT used for positioning. The aircraftonly

uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controllersignal is lost and ilthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. 3) F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar

with IOC functions before use. If you intend to switch to modes that disable GPS assistance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer to enable this function.

Aircraft
This section introduces the 

### features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

# Aircraft

The Phantom 3 Professional'sflight controller features several important upgrades, including a newflight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe retum ofyour aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Three flight modes are available.The details of each flight mode arefound below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available. The aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient The aircraft is using onlythe Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, soonly altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. The aircraft can still automatically retum to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, referto the IOC section in the Appendix.

:\;): Usethe Right Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight for more information.

The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEDs and Aircraft Status Indicators. The positions of these LEDs are shown in thefigure below:

Front

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft is tumed on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft. The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status oftheflight controller.

## Vision Positioning System The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where aGPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional; they include [2] two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.



### 14Phantom 3 Professional User Manual Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments, where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS.

Followthe steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

# B

1. Toggle the flight mode switch toP-mode. '·' 2. Placethe aircrafton aflat surface. Notethatthe Vision Positioning system cannotwork

properly on·surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up to liftoff and the aircraftwill hoverin place. 

# & The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraftwill switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available. Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Rying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Rying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8rn/s at2meters orover 4m/s at 1meter). • Rying overwaterortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces orobjects. • Flying in an areawherethe lighting changes frequently ordrastically. • Flying overextremely dark(lux < 10)or bright(lux > 100,000) surfaces. • Flying oversurfaces thatcan absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). • Flying over surfaceswithoutclear patterns ortexture. • Flying oversurfaces

### with identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g. tileswiththe same design). • Flying over inclined surfaces thatwill deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft. 

# :IJ: •Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt orother debris may adversely affect the effectiveness ofthe sensors. • Vision Positioning is onlyeffective when the aircraft is at altitudes of0.3to3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft isflying overwater. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux). • Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency ol40KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation. • Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) at last speeds

..Phantom3 Professional User Manual 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency soundsthat are onlyaudibletosome animals.

Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft. This includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraft to the PC through the Micro-USB port and launch the DJI Pilot app.

Course Lock (CL)

Home Lock (HL)*

Pointof Interest(POl)* The nose direction, atthe time that CL is set, will remain the forward direction regardless of howthe orientation and position of the aircraft changes. This will remain fixed until you reset it orexit CL mode. Record a Home Point (HP) and enter HL mode. The forward and backward controls will move the aircraft fartherfrom and closerto the established Home Pont, regardless of howthe orientation and position ofthe aircraft changes. Point of Interest Record a point of interest (POl). The aircraft can then circle around the POl and the nosewill toward the POl.
