Echo Aerial Imaging LLC 13575 S. Greybull St . Nampa, ID 83651 U. S. Department of Transportation Docket Management System 1200 New Jersey Ave., SE Washington, DC 20590 Re: Exemption Request Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulation from: 14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H; 14 CFR 61.11 3(a) and (b); 91.103; 91.105; 91.107; 91.109; 91.119(c) ; 91.121; 91.151(a); 91.405(a); 91.407(a); 91.409(a)(1) and (2); 91.417(a) and (b). To whom it may concern: This document constitutes an exemption Request under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 20 12, and 14 C.F.R. Part 11. Echo Aerial Imaging, LLC, an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) is se eking exemption in order to legally conduct business and comply with all Federal regulations and standards put forth by the FAA while operating our sUAS. We will be providing services to including but not limited the following industries: commercial and p rivate real estate, architecture, marketing, short range inspection, surveying and mapping, agricultural, sporting events, special events. Echo Aerial Imaging, LLC's requested exemption would permit the operation of sUAS under controlled a nd secure conditi ons that is: (a) limited, (b ) predetermined, (c ) subje ct to controlled access, and (d ) provide greater safety in connection with aircraft operations. As established by the exemptions already granted by the FAA, approval of Echo Aerial Imaging, LLC's exem ption would enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation’s responsibilities to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system.” Section 333(c) of the Reform Act. Echo Aerial Imaging, LLC will be using the DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1.

 Both weigh less than 55 pounds, including the payload (i.e. camera, lens, and stabilizing gimbal)  Both operate at no more than 50 knots  Both can hover, and can simultaneously move vertically and horizontally. Aircraft and Equivalent level of Safety The operating limitations proposed by Echo Aerial Imaging, LLC are as follows:

 All flights will be operated within line of sight of pilot and/or observer  Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet  Before each flight sUAS will be calibrated, blades will be inspected, batteries will be charged, and a short test flight will be performed Flights will be terminated when the battery reaches 25%. This will allow enough reserve time to

l and safely  Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet  Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the sUAS pilot, the Visual Observer, and the Camera Operator (only when the Inspire 1 is flown)  A briefing will be conducted, and a l l operators will be in attendance prior to flight .  The operator will obtain consent of all persons involved and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 50 feet of the flight operation.  Observer and pilot will be able to communicate by voice and/or text at all times.  Written and/or oral permission from the relevant property holders will be obtained.  All appropriate permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, county, or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies.  If the sUAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UAS will have capability to return to a predetermined location within the Security Perimeter and land.  The sUAS will have the capa bility to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. As established by the sUAS exemptions already granted by the FAA, allowing commercial operations of sUASs in agriculture, real estate, inspection, surveying, mapping, and special eve nts will enhance safety by reducing risk. Current methods use small aircraft, flying at low altitudes weighing in around 4,000 pounds and carry fuel (either Avgas, or Jet A). SUAs weigh fewer than 55 pounds and are powered by batteries. This eliminates virtually all of that risk given the small size and lack of combustible fuel. The name and address of the applicant are : Echo Aerial Imaging LLC Sandra & Timothy Ammann 13575 S.
