Request for Section 333 Exemption Photography

April 22, 2015

by/for

Jason W Lines, Aerovista LLC

This document constitutes an exemption Request under Section

333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 for

Aviation Unmanned to perform Aerial Photography by/for

Jason W Lines, Aerovista LLC. The main use of this UAS would be recording

real-estate photos, video, and associated data. The UAS systems that I plan to use is a 3d Robotics

SOLO and will be referenced in this document as SOLO.

1. The safe operation to the NAS and/or persons and/or

property will be kept to a minimum by always flying the UAS

within visual eye contact, less than 400 ft above ground and

never directly above persons or public places. The orientation of

flights will be such that the pilot in command (PIC) always has a

visual on the rear mounted LED flight Indicator. Additional

safety features on the SOLO include, GPS navigation, return to

home, low voltage, and enhanced failsafe.

2. Pre-flight inspection would be checking battery

condition/level in both the transmitter and UAS. The binding/link

feature will not let the UAS start if communication is not

established. A check for power-lines, antennas and other

overhead objects would be performed. Wind conditions would

be monitored and be a factor for flying.

3. The PIC will be only myself. I have completed 47.4 hours of flight training in a Cessna 172, as well as

173 logged landings, without mishap. I have completed ground school at an FAA approved school, and

have passed the written PAR exam.

4. I'm in good mental and physical health . No

arrests or felonies. I have recently undergone an extensive background check for a position of public

trust in relation to my work with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 

5. The intended use of this UAS is to

provide video marketing material for real estate and business. As well as provide imaging and surface

mapping data to agriculture and other businesses which would require those services.

6. All photo flights for hire would have the date, time, GPS

coordinates along with the camera metadata recorded on a

hard drive and also backed up to a DVD. This data would be

kept readily available for a period of 1 year after each aerial

flight for hire.
