### The Extent OfReliefDrones Plus, Inc. Seeks And The Reason Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks The Relief.

9. Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks Exemption From The Requirements OfSection Part21, Subpart H Given the size and limited operating area associated withthe UAS to be utilized by Drones Plus, Inc., an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements ofan equivalent level ofsafety under Part 11 and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§ 44701(£)) and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act both authorize the FAAto exempt aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration ofthe size, weight, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and populated areas ofthe particularUAS. In all cases, an analysis ofthese criteriademonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, inthe restricted environment and under the conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional rotorcraft operating with an airworthiness certificate withoutthe restrictions and conditions ofthe proposed UAS operations. 

### 10. Extent OfReliefDrones Plus, Inc. Seeks And The Reason Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks ReliefFrom Section 61.113(a) And (b). Relieffrom Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitledPrivatepilotprivileges andlimitations: Pilot in command, is requested to the extent necessary to allow a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, to conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation orhire. This reliefis requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation orhire, act as PIC ofan aircraft in connection with anybusiness or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or**employment~** and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation orhire. As set forth more fully below, Drones Plus, Inc. submits that an equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, UAS or DJI Inspire 1UAS unless that PIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate eitherthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent withthe operations specifications as described inthis exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. 11

Further, Drones Plus, Inc. submits that all flights ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs, conducted by the PIC pursuantto the grant ofthis Petition: (1) will be incidental to Drones Plus, Inc.'**business~** and (2) will not carry passengers orproperty for compensation orhire. 

### 11. Extent OfReliefDrones Plus, Inc. Seeks And The Reason Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks ReliefFrom Section 91.7(a). Relieffrom Section 91.7(a) entitled 

### Civil aircraft ainvorthiness, is requested to the extent required to allowDrones Plus, Inc. to determine thatthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs are in airworthy condition prior to every flight by ensuringthatthe UAS is in compliance withthe operating documents (i.e., the Drones Plus, Inc. Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1Instruction Manual). Drones Plus, Inc. seeks the requested reliefbecause the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.P.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, Drones Plus, Inc. will ensure thatthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs are in airworthy condition based upon its compliance withthe operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1InstructionManual) priorto every flight, and further, determine that the aircraft are in condition for safe flight, as stated in the conditions and limitations below. 

### 12. Extent OfReliefDrones Plus, Inc. Seeks And The Reason Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks ReliefFrom Section 91.121. Relieffrom Section 91.121, entitled

### Altimetersettings, may be required to allowflight operations ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry datalink to downlink altitude informationfrom the UA to the PIC atthe ground control station (GCS). Since the FAArequires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) infeet above ground level (AGL), Drones Plus, Inc. seeks the requested reliefbecause the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, andDJI Inspire 1UA's altimeter may be set onthe ground to zero feet AGL, rather thanthe local barometric pressure or field altitude, before each flight. Considering the limited altitude ofthe proposed operations, relieffrom 14 CFR 91.121 is soughtto the extent necessary to comply withthe applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As more fully set forth herein, an equivalent level ofsafety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a ground level pressure setting will be established priorto each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information ofthe UA onthe heads-up display ofthe GCS. 

### 13. Extent OfReliefDrones Plus, Inc. Seeks And The Reason Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks ReliefFrom Section 91.151(b). 12

Relieffrom Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions, is requested to the extentrequired to allow flights ofthe battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. Drones Plus, Inc. seeks the requested reliefbecause without an exemption from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration ofthe battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs will severely constrainthe practicality ofany aerial video or still photo flight operations that Drones Plus, Inc. proposes to conduct pursuantto this Petition. Significantly, as set forth below, the technical specifications ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1 operating documents, and Drones Plus, Inc.'s proposed operating limitations, ensure that Drones Plus, Inc. will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for atleast 4.5 minutes. 

### 14. Extent OfReliefDrones Plus, Inc. Seeks And The Reason Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks ReliefFrom Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & 

### (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & 

### (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, Drones Plus, Inc. requests relieffrom these Sections because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs meet the conditions ofFMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, Drones Plus, Inc. will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance onthe UASs usingthe methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the Drones Plus, Inc. Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1InstructionManual). Furthermore, Drones Plus, Inc. will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs. C. 

### The Reasons Why GrantingDrones Plus, Inc. RequestWould Be In The Public Interest; ThatIs, How It

### Would BenefitThe Public As A Whole. Granting the present Petition will further the public interestby allowing Drones Plus, Inc. to safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of, real estate, wedding films, special events, precision agriculture, land survey & appraisal, construction sites, equipment & roofinspections, film sets and landscape over certain areas ofthe United States. 13

Additionally, use ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire I UASs will decrease congestion ofthe NAS, reduce pollution, and provide significantbenefits to the economy. Notably, the benefits ofDrones Plus, Inc.'s proposed operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs will be realized without implicating any pnvacy Issues. 

### 1. The Public Will BenefitFromDecreased Congestion OfThe NAS. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. Byreducing the amount ofmanned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowingthe use ofa DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, orDJI Inspire 1UAS would reduce the amount ofmanned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and airpollution, as well as increase the safety oflife and property in the air and onthe ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number ofmanned aircraft operating inthe NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs do notrequire an airport to takeofforland. Likewise, a reduction ofmanned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraftthat must be handled by airtraffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases offlight operations. 

### 2. ThePublicWill BenefitFromThe SafetyAnd Efficiency OfThe DJIPhantom 2 Vision+, DJIPhantom 3, andDJIInspire 1 UASs. Conducting aerial acquisitions withthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAS's, instead ofmanned aircraft, will greatly benefitthe public by drastically reducing the levels ofair and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, the DJI Phantom 214

Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gallons perhour ofleaded aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs, while reducing the carbon footprint ofaerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAs are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAS's to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air and onthe ground, which is usually associated withtraditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack offlight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs (weighing approximately 2 pounds 11 ounces, 2 pounds 13 ounces, and 6 pounds 7.5 ounces respectively, at their maximum gross weights with Iengths of 16 inches, 16 inches, and 17.3 inches respectively, widths of 16 inches, 16 inches, and 17.7 inches respectively, and with no fuel onboard), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property onthe ground, and inthe air, compared to the manned aircraft thattypically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan ofapproximately 42 feet, a length of34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons). 

### 3. PerformingAerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1 UASs 

### Will Benefit The Economy. In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs will allow United States based companies, like Drones Plus, Inc., to remain competitive and contribute to growth oftheU.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost ofaviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in orderto remain competitive. Operatingthe battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs is one suchtechnology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility withoutthe high operational cost ofa traditional manned aircraft. By operatingthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire· 1UASs, companies such as Drones Plus, Inc., can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greaterjob stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth ofthe U.S. economy. Improved financial performance ofU.S. companies, through commercial use ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs, provides a stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in orderto remain competitive both inthe United States and abroad.15



### 4. ThereAre No PrivacyIssues. Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, Drones Plus, Inc.'s proposed operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs will not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., the Drones Plus, Inc. Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1 InstructionManual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. 

### § 91.119.


### D. The Reasons Why GrantingThe ExemptionWould NotAdversely Affect Safety, Or How The Exemption Would Provide A Level Of Safety At Least Equal To That Provided By The Rule FromWhich Drones Plus, Inc. Seeks Exemption. 1. 

### Reasons Why The DJIPhantom 2 Vision+, DJIPhantom 3, and DJIInspire 1 UAs MeetThe Conditions OfThe FAA Modernization andReformAct of2012 (FMRA) Section 333. In consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, Drones Plus, Inc.'s operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAS's meet the conditions ofFMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazardto users ofthe NAS orthe public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. Specifically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in part: (a) In General--Notwithstandingany other requirement of this subtitle, andnot later than 180 days after the date of enactment of thisAct, the Secretary of Transportation shalldetermine 

### if certain unmannedaircraftsystems may operate safely in the nationalairspace system before completion of theplan and rulemaking requiredby section 332 of thisActorthe guidance requiredby section 334 of thisAct. (b) Assessment ofUnmannedAircraftSystems.--In making the determination undersubsection (a), the Secretary shalldetermine, ata minimum-- (1) which types of unmannedaircraftsystems, 

### if any, as a result of theirsize, weight, speed, operational capability,proximity to airports andpopulated areas, andoperation within visual line of sight do not create a hazard to users of the nationalairspace system or thepublic orpose a threat to nationalsecurity; and(2) whethera certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certification undersection 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the operation of unmannedaircraft systems identifiedunderparagraph (1). (c) Requirements for Safe Operation.--Ifthe Secretary determines under this section that certain unmannedaircraftsystems mayoperate safely in the nationalairspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraftsystems in the nationalairspace system. 16

In seeking this exemption, Drones Plus, Inc. submits that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs can operate safely inthe NAS pursuantto FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs; (b) the pilot certificationrequirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations.

a. The Specifications OfThe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJIInspire 1UASs Demonstrate Its Safe Characteristics. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs do not create a hazard to users ofthe NAS orthe public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security considering its size, weight, speed, and operational capability. i.

PIC qualification flight hours must be logged in a manner consistentwith 14 C.P.R.§ 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes oftraining the operator's PICs are permitted under the terms ofthe exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 91. 119. 19

19. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 C.F.R. 

### § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Ifflight at night is required, a special request will be made atthe FAA office closestto proposed area of operations. Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 20. The UAmay not operate within 5 nautical miles ofan airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless a letter ofagreement withthat airport's management is obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOT AM as required by the operator's COA. The letter ofagreement withthe airport management must be made available to the Administrator upon request. 21. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or whenvisibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

### 22. Ifthe UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it mustreturn to a predetermined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance withthe operating documents. 23. The PIC must abort the flight in the event ofunpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents

.

.24. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough powerto fly at normal cruising speedto the intended landing point and land the UAwith 25% battery power remaining. 25. The operator must obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of 20



### Waiver orAuthorization (COA) priorto conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. This COA will also require the operator to request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 48 hours priorto the operation. All operations shall be conducted in accordance with airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA including class ofairspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements. 26. All aircraft operated in accordance with the exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 C.P.R. part 47, and have identification (N- Number) markings in accordance with 14 C.P.R. part45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable.
27. Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control ofthe UAmust comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requirements. 28. The documents required fewer than 14 C.P.R. 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station ofthe UAS any time the UAS is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 29. The UAmustremain clear andyieldthe right ofway to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 30. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 31. Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons (persons other than the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons), vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event ofan accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. Ifa situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet ofthe UA, flight operations must cease immediately and/or; b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where theowner/controller ofsuch vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment ofthe risk ofoperating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard, and; c. Operations nearer to the PIC, SO, operatortrainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per 

### § 91.119(a). 32. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with permission from the land owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from land owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 33.

Accidents mustbe reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained onthe NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov. 

### 2. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements OfSection 61.113(a) And (b) Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. Drones Plus, Inc. submits that the equivalent level ofsafety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs unless that PIC has demonstrated, bymeeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, thatthe PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering Drones Plus, Inc.'s proposed area ofoperations, and the operating limitations set forth-above; the parallel nature ofprivate pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those ofcommercial pilot requirements (See ExemptionNo. 11062); and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS, Drones Plus, Inc. submits that the additional manned airmanship experience ofa commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for Drones Plus, Inc.'s specific proposed flight operations. The FAAhas previously granted relieffrom Section 61.113(a) and (b) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. ExemptionNos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 21

Drones Plus, Inc. will not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements orthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS training and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS in a manner consistent withthis exemption,including evasive and emergency maneuvers andmaintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistentwith 14 C.P.R. § 61.51(b), 25 hours oftotal time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of5 hours ofthose hours as a UAS pilot operatingthe same make and model ofUAS to be used for operations under the exemption). In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings inthe preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). 22

As inExemptionNos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience thatwas obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during DronesPlus, Inc.' proposed operations. The Administrator has heldthat prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: InExemptionNo. 11062, the FAA required that priorto conducting operations for the purpose ofmotionpicture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR61.51(b), 25 hours oftotal time as a UAS rotorcraftpilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilotwith a multi-rotorUAS. Prior to operations under ExemptionNo. 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of5 hours as a UAS pilot operatingthe same make and model ofUAS to be used for operations underthe exemption. For clarification, the FAA considers these minimumhour requirements to be inclusive rather than additive; i.e. 5 hours make and model time may be included inthe 10 hours ofmulti-rotortime and the 10 hours may be included inthe total25 hours ofUAS rotorcraft time. In additionto the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds that at a minimum, the flight-hour requirements inExemptionNo. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency inthe skills necessary to safely conductthe petitioner's proposed operations. The FAA also finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Training, proficiency, and experience-building flights can also be conducted underthe grant ofexemptionto accomplishthe required flight time. Duringtraining, proficiency, and experience-building flights the PIC is required to operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119. ExemptionNo. 11138 at page 15. Accordingly, Drones Plus, Inc. will ensure safe operations by not allowing any PIC to operate the Dll Phantom 2 Vision+, Dll Phantom 3, orDll Inspire 1 UAS unless thatPIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, thatthe PIC is able to safely operate the Dll Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS in a manner consistent withthe exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. 

### 3. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements OfSection 91.7(a) Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety.The equivalent level ofsafety established by Section 91.7(a) will be maintained because priorto every flight, Drones Plus, Inc. will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, or DJI Inspire 1UAS is in an airworthy condition based upon the UAS's compliance with its operating documents and as stated inthe conditions and limitations herein. Additionally, the FAAhas previously granted relieffrom Section 91.7(a) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. ExemptionNos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

### 4. Reasons WhyAn Exemption From The Requirements OfSection 91.121 Would NotAdverselyAffect Safety. 23

The equivalent level ofsafety established by Section 91.121 will be maintained because the altitude information ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs will be providedto the PIC via GPS equipment and a radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UAto the GCS for active monitoring ofthe flight path and altitude. This altitude information, combined with Drones Plus, Inc.' operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet AGL, will ensure a level ofsafety equivalentto Section 91.121. The altitude information will be generated by GPS equipment installed onboard the aircraft. Prior to each flight, a zero altitude initiation point is automatically established by the UASs at ground level. The FAAhas previously granted relieffrom Section 91.121 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. ExemptionNos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

### 5. Reasons WhyAn Exemption From The Requirements OfSection 91.15l(b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety. A grant ofthis exemptionwould ensure an equivalent level ofsafety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 91.151(b) as a result of(1) the technical specifications ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs; (2) the limitations onthe proposed flight operations; and (3) the location ofthe proposed flight operations. Accordingly, Drones Plus, Inc. will ensure that it will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAs during daylight hours in VFRconditions, with enough battery powerto fly for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly afterthat for at least 4.5 minutes. Here, as in ExemptionNo. 11109, the technical specifications ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs; the limitations onthe proposed flight operations; and the location ofthe proposed operations, will ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.P.R. Section 91.151(b). Furthermore, safety will be ensured as theDJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs provide audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS whenthe UAs experiences lowbattery voltage, the first warning occurring at approximately 33% remaining battery power, and again at approximately 10% remaining battery power. At the critically low battery level, the DJI Phantom Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1UASs will descend and land automatically. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Section 91.151 establishthat safety is not adversely affected whenthe technical characteristics and operating limitations ofthe UAS are considered. Reliefhas been granted for manned aircraft to operate at less thanthe minimums prescribed in Section 91.151, including ExemptionNos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. Moreover, the FAA has previously granted relieffrom Section 91.151 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. ExemptionNos. 8811, 10808, 10673, 11042, 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

### 6. Reasons WhyAn Exemption FromThe Requirements OfSections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & 

### (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & 

### (b) WouldNotAdverselyAffect Safety. 24

In seekingthis exemption, Drones Plus, Inc. submits that the equivalent level ofsafety withregard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements establishedby Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) will be met because Drones Plus, Inc. will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance onthe UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., the Drones Plus, Inc. Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1Instruction Manual). Furthermore, Drones Plus, Inc. will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs. Since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs will be inspected as prescribed by the operating documents, Drones Plus, Inc. will maintain the equivalent level ofsafety established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1), and 91.409(a)(2). A copy ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1User Manuals are attached hereto as ExhibitD, E, and F; a copy ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAS Maintenance LOG is attached hereto as Exhibit G. Likewise, the exemption sought will not adversely affect safety because Drones Plus, Inc. will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations orpreventive maintenance onthe UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents. Furthermore, the exemption sought would maintain an equivalent level ofsafety established by Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maintenance ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UASs will be performed by trained technicians. Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the monthlymaintenance log. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) establishthat safety is not adversely affected whenthe technical characteristics and operating limitations ofthe UAS are considered. 25

Inconsideration ofDrones Plus, Inc.'sproposed operating limitations, the operating documents, and the technical aspects ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Phantom 3, and DJI Inspire 1UAS's, Drones Plus, Inc. submits that safety will not be adversely affected by granting exemption from 14 C.F.R. Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l) and (a)(2), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b). The FAAhas previously granted reliefspecific to UAS in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. ExemptionNos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112,11136,11138,11150,11153,11156,11157,11158,11159,11160, 11161). 7.
