Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act of 2012

Dear FAA Administrator,

I, John Riegel, am requesting a COA for flights at or below 200 feet AGL for my DJI

Phantom 3 Professional UAS. This aircraft is 1280 grams (2.8 pounds), will be flown

during daytime under VFR conditions and operate within VLOS of the pilot ( s )

. The

specifications are shown below.

The location of flight for the exemption request is a Mobile Home Park my family

owns in Barstow, CA. Our property is more that 10 NM from an airport. I wish

approval to take still and video photography of mobile homes in our park offered for

sale or for rent. All home sites are on our property

, while most of the homes offered

for sale or rent we currently own. The ph otographs and video will be used in

marketing brochures and web site advertising. I plan on photographing at about 30

to 50 feet AGL.

I am a soloed Student Pilot and have finished my required VFR Ground School.

I am familiar with preflight planning and inspections as well as FAA VFR flight rules.

Thank you,

John RiegelSpecifications for DJI Phantom 3 Professional:
