I,	Hector	A	Cruz	Jr,	hereby	submit	this	petition	for	exemption	under	Section	333;	

FAA	Modernization	and	Reform	act	of	2012,	Public	Law	112-95	FEB.	14,	2012,	

Section	333.	I	request	this	exemption	for	the	permission	to	offer	services	and	

consultation	for	profit	to	include,	photography	and	aerial	video	for	real	estate,	

construction	businesses,	agricultural,	special	events	to	include	but	not	limited	to	

birthdays,	weddings,	promo	events,	and	agricultural	studies.	

The	ability	to	provide	these	services	to	individuals	and	businesses	will	benefit	my	

community by	allowing	them	to	have	access	to	opportunities	and	promotion	that	

they	otherwise	did	not	have	before.	This	will	help	tax	revenue	for	the	state	of	Ohio.	

Also,	New	Horizon	will	use	this	technology	to	help	promote	non-profit	

organizations.	Traditional	methods	of	aerial	photography/videography	are	simply	

not	available	options	for	the	typical	consumer	as	they	are	too	expensive	and	have	

more	safety	concerns	for	the	general	public.	Our	technology	is	a	lot	more	ecofriendly	(does	not	burn	flammable	fuel.)		By	utilizing	the	UAV/UAS	better	results	can	

be	achieved	while	increasing	safety.	

Prior	to	each	flight	of	the	UAV/UAS,	I	will	conduct	Pre-Flight	safety	Inspections.	

Any	and	all	repairs	will	be	performed	only	by	a	manufacturer	or authorized	repair	

facility. Flights	will	not	take	place	over	densely	populated	areas	or	private	property	

without	owners	consent.	The	UAV/UAS	will	only	be	operated	within	visual	line	of	

sight	and	will	not	be	flown	near	ANY airports.	Will	not fly	over	300 feet	because	it	is	

not	necessary	for	our	use.	The	FAA	can	be	sure	that	operation	of	this	UAV/UAS	will	

achieve	at	least	the	equivalent	or	greater	level	of	safety.	

The	Request	of	this	petition	are	similar	to	those	of	Jimmy	Carini,	Sky Estate	Drones	

LLC,	and	Drone	Viu	LLC.	Both	who	have	received	Section	333	exemptions	for	

comparable	aircraft	for	similar	operations.	

The	Specific	sections	of	14C.F.R	from	which	I	am	seeking	exemption	are	as	follows.
