Subject: Additional Information public docket No. FAA-2015-1721 

Ms. Newton: 

This is in response to your letter dated July 30, 2015. The additional information requested in your letter 

is as follows: 

1. The reasons why granting the request would be in the public interest, that is, how it would benefit 

the public as a whole 

(As approved on August 5, 2015 in regulatory docket No. FAA-2015-1061)" The pubiic interest in" 

granting this exemption request is served by, among others, the following·: 

• The use of UAS improves public safety and reduces risk by alleviating the public's exposure to 

danger and emissions associated with conventional aerial methods (full size aircraft) that are 

very heavy, fast and carry passengers, flammable fuel and cargo. 

• A myriad of ecological and environmental benefits and improved economic efficiency and 

scientific information and data acquisition are potential public benefits accomplished through 

the use of UAS for precision inspections of infrastructure and industrial plant and equipment 

such as energy pipelines, power lines, smokestacks, towers, and other man-made structures, 

which can be observed and later analyzed safely, accurately and unobtrusively. 

• Commerce can be improved through data and image acquisition for real estate, construction, 

precision agriculture, surveying and other applications ofUAS technology. 

• The visual arts such as film, photography and television are improved through exciting and 

beautiful images captured via the versatile aerial platform UAS provides, which benefits the 

collective cultural and aesthetic demands and desires of an appreciative public. 

• UAS may be an e·xceptional tool for journalists and all manner of news gathering and reporting 

media, to serve the public good in enhancing accurate dissemination of newsworthy and 

relevant information to interested citizens. 
• Approval of this exemption will provide immediate employment opportunities for individuals 

and businesses whose livelihood may be directly or indirectly improved through career 

opportunities and job creation in a growing technology sector of the economy. 

• Congress has established a national policy that favors prompt integration ofUAS into the NAS, 

provided that judicious and reasoned agencies and officials guide the process prudently and 

with due emphasis on public safety and efficiency. The granting of this Petition for exemption 

will serve this public policy mandate and result in the attendant benefits perceived by this 

policy. 

2. Any additional information, view, or arguments available to support the request 

(As approved on August 5, 2015 in regulatory docket No. FAA-2015-0915) This Petition is made 

pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333, which directs the 

Secretary of Transportation to determine if certain UAS 35 may operate safely in the NAS. As such, 

this request for exemption may be granted pursuant to the authority of FMRA Section 333 and 14 

C.F.R. Part 11, as set forth above. 

FMRA Section 333 sets forth the requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to 

users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security; and further, provides 

the authority for such UAS to operate without airworthiness certification. 

As discussed in my application, we will operate the DJI Phantom 2 and 30 Robotics SOLO UAS safely 

in the NAS, without creating a hazard to users of the NAS, or the public, or otherwise pose a threat 

to national security 

I stand ready to provide any other required information. I respectfully request expedited approval of my 

petition. Thank you!
