Petition of POWER DRONES Inc. for Exemption Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Section333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and 14 CFR Part 11, 

POWER DRONES Inc. here by applies for an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations 

(FARs) identified below, to allow commercial operations of small Unmanned Aerial Systems 

(i.e., UAS).

This exemption is in accordance with protocols outlined in this petition for exemption, the 

enclosed the UAS manufacturer's operations and/or instructions manual, UAS User's Manuals, 

UAS Quick Start Guides, and any other requirements established by the FAA pursuant to 

Section 333 of the Reform Act.

This exemption would permit commercial operation by POWER DRONES Inc. which uses all 

versions of DJI Inspire 1, DJI Phantom 2, DJI Phantom 3 to conduct UAS flight training, support 

to news services, real estate photography and videography, construction, waterway and land 

planning and use photography, agriculture, education, oil and gas industry infrastructure 

inspection and demonstration flights.

POWER DRONES Inc. under the exemption will be subject to strict operating requirements and 

conditions to ensure an equivalent level of safety to currently authorized operations using 

manned aircraft and under conditions as may be modified by the FAA as required by Section 

333.2 

POWER DRONES Inc. will be operated under controlled VFR conditions at low altitude in 

airspace that is permitted in accordance with POWER DRONES Inc. approved Certificate of 

Authorization (COA). They will operate the UASs with pilots who are current and qualified and 

only after completing POWER DRONES Inc. training program. Finally, when operating within 

controlled airspace, the controlling FAA ATC will approve the airspace in which the UASs will 

operate in advance. 

POWER DRONES Inc. respectfully submits this request for an exemption because it operates 

UASs. The operations of POWER DRONES Inc. will be conducting will be in lieu of comparatively 

hazardous operations now conducted with fixed wing and rotary conventional aircraft. The 

FAA can have confidence that the operations will be conducted at an equivalent level or 

greater level of safety. Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the 
Secretary of Transportation's (the FAA Administrator's) responsibilities under Section 333(c) of 

the Reform Act to "establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in 

the national airspace system."

For your convenience, POWER DRONES Inc. has organized this Exemption request as follows:

X. Conclusion

I. Petitioner's Description

POWER DRONES Inc. headquartered in Miami, Florida, is a company that 

provides UAS flight training, support to news services, real estate 

photography and videography, events, cinematography, construction, 

waterway and land planning and use photography, agriculture, education, oil 

and gas industry infrastructure inspection and demonstration flights in a 

compliant and safe environment. POWER DRONES Inc. plans on providing a

wide range of services as the UAS market expands.

The contact information for Petitioner is as follows:

MIAMI, FL 33165

II. Relevant Statutory Authority 

This petition for exemption is submitted to fulfill Congress' goal in passing Section 

333(a) through (c) of the Reform Act. Congress has directed the FAA "to safely 

accelerate the integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into the national 

airspace system." Pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act, the FAA 

Administrator is to consider whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may 
operate safely in the National Airspace System ("NAS") before completion of the 

formal UAS rulemaking, based on the following considerations: 

• The UAS size, weight, speed, and operational capability; 

• Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; and 

• Operation of the UAS within the visual line of sight of the operator.

If the Secretary determines that such vehicles "may operate safely in the National 

Airspace System, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation 

of such aircraft in the National Airspace System".

Additionally, the FAA Administrator has general authority to grant exemptions 

from its safety regulations and minimum standards when the Administrator 

decides a requested exemption is in the public interest. A party requesting an 

exemption must explain the reasons why the exemption: (1) would benefit the 

public as a whole, and (2) would not adversely affect safety (or how it would 

provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rules).

The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to issue 

exemptions. This statutory authority, by items, includes exempting civil aircraft, as 

the term is defined under 40101 of the Act, from the requirement that all civil 

aircraft must have a current airworthiness certificate and those regulations 

requiring commercial pilots to operate aircraft in commercial service:

The Administrator may grant an exemption from a requirement of a regulation 

prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) of this section or any of sections. 

III. Qualifications for Approval Under Section 333 of the Reform Act

The proposed operations in this petition for exemption qualify for expedited 

approval under Section 333 of the Reform Act. Each of the statutory criteria and 

other relevant factors are satisfied. 

The proposed operations would permit POWER DRONES Inc. the use of small UAS 

under controlled conditions in airspace that is: (1) predetermined; (2) controlled as 

to access; and that (3) provides an increased level of safety beyond that existing 

when fixed or rotor wing aircraft are used to accomplish the same purpose. 

POWER DRONES Inc. uses UAS that are multirotor and fixed wing airplanes, 

weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. They operate, under normal 

conditions, at speeds not to exceed 50 mph. The multirotor has the capability to 

hover and move in the vertical and horizontal plane. POWER DRONES Inc. UAS will 

operate in line of sight, during daylight hours, and will only operate within a sterile 

area. POWER DRONE Inc. will operate at or below 400 feet AGL and will file a NOT 

AM for each flight operated in controlled airspace that is required. All required 
permissions and permits would be obtained from territorial, state, county or city 

jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate 

governmental agencies prior to operating a UAS. 

Given the small size of the UAS involved and the restricted sterile environment

within which they will operate, this POWER DRONES Inc. exemption falls within the 

zone of safety and demonstrate an equivalent level of safety, in which Congress 

desired the FAA to permit commercial UAS operations by exemption pending 

completion of formal rulemaking. Also, due to the size of the UASs and the 

confined area in which these UAS will operate, approval of the application 

presents no hazard in the NAS.

Considering the clear direction in Section 333 of the Reform Act, the authority 

contained in the Federal Aviation Act, as amended, the equivalent level of safety 

surrounding the proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, the grant 

of the requested exemptions is also in the public interest.

IV. Description of Proposed Operations

To assist the FAA in its safety assessment of POWER DRONES Inc. proposed UAS 

operations, below is a summary of operational limitations and conditions that will 

ensure an equivalent or higher level of safety to operations conducted under 

current regulatory guidelines:

1. The UAS will weigh less than 55 pounds. 

2. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the PIC and/or visual observer. 

3. Maximum total flight time for each operational flight will be limited to the 

amount of time the UASs can be flown and still maintain a reserve battery power

who have not signed a waiver in advance of the operation. 

6. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the UAS Pilot in Command and 

a Visual Observer when operating with the use of FPV equipment. Additional 

crewmembers may consist of a Pilot and a Camera Operator.

7. POWER DRONES Inc. will designate a Pilot in Command ("PIC") for each mission.
8. The UAS will operate only within a confined sterile area. 

9. Prior to the operations at a particular location, a site inspection will have been 

conducted. On the day of the mission the management person with operational 

control and the PIC will concur on dispatching of the mission.

each day's missions. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing 

duties within the boundaries of the sterile area be present for this briefing.

11. POWER DRONES Inc. crew will use the checklist and callouts.

12. All UAS will be maintained in compliance with the manufacturer's and 

Company guidelines. 

13. In the event of an accident involving a POWER DRONES Inc. UAS, the PIC will 

cease operations and report the accident to the NTSB and AFS-80.

14. Pilot in Command and Visual Observer will at all times be able to communicate 

by voice.

15. Pilot in Command, Pilot, Camera Operator, Visual Observer, and Operational 

Personnel will have been trained and tested in accordance to POWER DRONES Inc.

UAS Aircraft Training Manual. 

16. All required permissions and permits will be obtained from territorial, state, 

county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire or other 

appropriate governmental agencies.

17. In compliance with the approved Waiver POWER DRONES Inc. management 

will submit a written "Plan of Activities" to the local Flight Standards District Office 

(FSDO) having jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming three days in 

advanced of operations during film or movie productions. 

18. If the UAS loses communications signal, the UAS will have the capability to 

return to a pre-determined location within the Sterile Area and land. 

19. Contingency plans will be in place to safely terminate flight if there is a loss of 

communication between the pilot and the observer.

20. The UAS has the capability to abort a flight in case of unpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies. 

21. POWER DRONES Inc. will assure no individuals' privacy is violated. 
22. ATC will be contacted prior to operating in airspace other than G.

V. Regulations From Which Exemption is Requested

A. 14 CFR § 91.103: Preflight Action 

B. 14 CFR § 91.113: Right-of-Way Rules

C. 14 CFR § 91.119 (c): Minimum Safe Altitudes 

D. 14 CFR § 91.121: Altimeter Settings 

E. 14 CFR § 91.151 (b): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions

 F. 14 CFR § 91.405(a), 91.407(a) (1), 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b): Maintenance 

 Inspections

A. 14 CFR § 91.103 Action 

POWER DRONES Inc. requests an exemption from the preflight actions requirements 

of 14 CFR 91.113 that prescribes the preflight actions under which aircraft may 

operate: 

Each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become familiar with all 

available information concerning that flight. 

(a) Flight under IFR or a flight not in the vicinity of an airport, weather reports and 

forecasts, fuel requirements, alternatives available if the planned flight cannot be 

completed, and any known traffic delays of which the pilot in command has been 

advised by ATC;

(b) For any flight, runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the following 

takeoff and landing distance information: 

(1) For civil aircraft for which an approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual 

containing takeoff and landing distance data is required, the takeoff and landing 

distance data contained therein

(2) For civil aircraft other than those specified in paragraph (b )(1) of this section, other 

reliable information appropriate to the aircraft, relating to aircraft performance under 
expected values of airport elevation and runway slope, aircraft gross weight, wind and 

temperature.

POWER DRONES Inc. will not operate UAS under IFR conditions or when the ceilings 

are below 1000 feet and the visibility is below 3 statute miles. Neither DJI UAS share 

published approved Airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual containing takeoff and 

landing distance data.

Equivalent Level of Safety 

POWER DRONES Inc. will ensure that the weather will be adequate to complete the 

mission in VFR condition. Since POWER DRONES Inc. operates in traditionally density 

altitude area, never usually above 2000 feet MSL, UAS performance is not affected. 

When POWER DRONES Inc. operates at a high altitude location, the UAS will be test 

flown at gross weight to test performance limitations prior to conducting commercial 

operations.

B. 14 CFR 91.113: Right-of-Way Rules

POWER DRONES Inc. request an exemption from 14 CFR 91.113 Right-of-way rules, 

requiring vigilance by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other 

aircraft. When a rule of this section gives another aircraft the right-of-way, the pilot 

shall give way to that aircraft and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well 

clear.

POWER DRONES Inc. operates small pilotless UASs and cannot comply with these 

rules as they have been written. 

Equivalent Level of Safety 

POWER DRONES Inc. operates UAS at or below an altitude of 400 feet AGL, well below 

the normal operating altitude of other aircraft. A POWER DRONES Inc. PIC will oversee 

each mission and has knowledge of the avoid rules. A Visual Observer will assist the 

PIC in looking for aircraft entering the operations area. It's the responsibility of the PIC 

to cease operations and land the UAS immediately whenever and aircraft comes into 

the vicinity creating a potential threat. Operations cannot recommence until the threat 

is clear. 

C. 14 CFR. § 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes

POWER DRONES Inc. requests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude 

requirements of 14 CFR 91.119 that prescribes the minimum safe altitudes under 

which aircraft may operate:
• Over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air 

assembly of persons, an altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a 

horizontal radius of 2,000 feet of the aircraft.

• Over other than congested areas at an altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except 

over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be 

operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure.

Section 91.119 (d) allows for a helicopter to operate at less than those minimum 

altitudes when it can be operated "without hazard to persons or property on the 

surface," provided that "each person operating the helicopter complies with any 

routes or altitudes specifically prescribed for helicopters by the FAA."

To provide the intended operations, the UAS is normally operated below 400 feet AGL. 

Additionally, due to the nature of the proposed operations, the UAS will maintain a 

lateral distance of at least 100 feet from inhabited structures, buildings, vehicles, and 

vessels, and from people not associated with the operation.

Equivalent Level of Safety

Compared to flight normal aircraft POWER DRONES Inc. multirotor aircrafts weigh a 

maximum of 25 pounds, and given the lack of flammable fuel, any risk associated with 

these operations is far less than those that presently exist with conventional aircraft. 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of the 

UAS, as well as the location where it is operated. The UAS will be operated in a sterile 

area, where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their preobtained consent. Because of the advance notice to the property owners and 

participants, all affected individuals will be well aware of the planned flight operations.

Furthermore, by operating at such lower altitudes, the UAS will not interfere with 

aircrafts that are subject to the minimum safe altitude regulations. Finally, the 

successful safety record of the DJI UAS demonstrates that the UAS can be safely used 

at these lower altitudes and closer operating environments.

D. 14 C.F.R. § 91.121: Altimeter Settings

POWER DRONES Inc. seeks an exemption from 14 CFR 91.121, which requires a person 

operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude or flight level by reference to an 

altimeter that is set to the elevation of the departure airport or barometric pressure. 

An exemption is required because some of the UAS aircrafts do not have a barometric 

altimeter, but rather a GPS altitude.

Equivalent Level of Safety

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved in that POWER DRONES Inc. will confirm

the altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. 
Moreover, the PIC will use the GPS altitude indicator to constantly monitor the UAS

height, thus ensuring operation at safe altitudes.

E. 14 CFR 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions

POWER DRONES Inc. requests an exemption from 14 CFR § 91.151(a)'s fuel 

requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Section 91.151 states:

(a) No person may begin a flight in an airplane under VPR conditions unless 

(considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to 

the first point of intended landing, and assuming a normal speed.

(1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 25 minutes

(2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes.

The batteries powering POWER DRONES Inc. UAS provide approximately 10-

18 minutes of powered flight. To meet the 30 minutes reserve requirement in 

14 CFR 91.151, UAS flights could not be conducted. Given the limitations on 

the UAS proposed flight area and the location of its proposed operations 

within a predetermined area, a safety margin based on a reserve amount of 

battery life is needed.

Equivalent Level of Safety

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the operations will be 

conducted on-site without significant transit time by the UAS. All flights will be 

planned to terminate with no less than 25% reserve battery power still 

available. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the UAS 

safely to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its confined area of 

operation even in the event of an unexpected occurrence. Operation of the 

UAS with less than 10 minutes of reserve fuel does not include the type of risks 

that Section 91.151(a) was intended to alleviate given the size and speed of 

the small UASs, and the proximity of the flight operation to the landing zone. 

Moreover, operation will be limited to controlled areas where only people and 

property owners, or official representatives who have signed waivers will be 

allowed.

F. 14 CFR § 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b): Maintenance 

Inspections

POWER DRONES Inc. also seeks an exemption from the maintenance inspection

requirements contained in 14 CFR 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2), 91.417(a) and 

(b). These regulations specify maintenance and inspection standards in reference to 14 

CFR Part 43. 14 CFR 91.405(a) (stating that each owner or operator of an aircraft "shall 
have the aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between 

required inspections ... have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this 

chapter"). An exemption to these regulations is needed because Part 43 and these 

sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which the UAS will not 

have.

Equivalent Level of Safety

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections 

will be performed in accordance with DJI User's Manuals. The operator will ensure that 

the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, 

and keep a log of any maintenance performed. The operator is the person most 

familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy 

condition to provide the equivalent level of safety.

If mechanical issues arise, the UAS size and carrying capacity, and the fact that flight 

operations will only take place in restricted areas for limited periods of time during 

daylight hours, creates less risk than that associated with conventional rotorcraft 

performing the same operation.

VI. PUBLIC INTEREST

Granting POWER DRONES Inc. an exemption furthers the public interest. National 

Policy set by Congress favors early integration of UAS into the national airspace in 

controlled, safe working environments such as those propose in this petition. The 

one vision of POWER DRONES Inc. is to help facilitate safe integration of UAS into 

mainstream USA in the following areas:

• Training

To ensure that UAS Operators are properly trained and certified to safely operate 

their particular type of UAS aircraft. Also, training will be conducted in the type of 

operations they will be using their aircraft.

• Real Estate

The UASs can be used in all areas of real estate, including commercial, residential 

and industrial properties. Using UASs real estate professionals can create 

promotional videos, photos and unique shots that normal camera aspects cannot 

capture. POWER DRONES Inc. easy-to-use video and photo platform enables 

properties to stand out, providing dazzling views that are typically shown via 

expensive computer animation or costly helicopter rentals. Imagine shooting a 

view from a high-rise condo in stunning high definition that shows your potential 

customer the actual view from the residence. The remote platform is great for 
new planning, zoning and large developments. Simple and easy-to-use video and 

photos allow for multiple height pictures and elevation views.

• Cinematography

Whether the shot requires unique views and expansive panning or extreme 

altitude with radical views, the UAS is designed to hold up under demanding 

conditions. Because of the autopilot feature with pre-designed mission 

management and RIC control interrupt, the pilot and camera operator can easily 

create the ultimate shot with HD video or HD still photos. 

• News Gathering

Similar to movies and videography, each news assignment may require a 

completely different shot or view of a scene. With budgets for traditional 

helicopter use being greatly reduced, the UAS is the perfect solution to allow for 

easy news gathering for a fraction of the cost. The UAS can and will be operated in 

a sterile area away from the public, while the traditional helicopter must hover 

over persons and property increasing the danger to individuals.

• Agriculture and Conservation

POWER DRONES Inc. would introduce and demonstrate to fanners of all types that 

the UAS can aid commercial agriculture, land management and conservation 

efforts by assessing crops, mapping flood zones, measuring snow pack and more. 

The UAS can fly pre-saved missions via the fully automated ground station, which 

allows for time-lapse photos of fields, crops and known land tracts. It also can 

accurately recreate the same pattern during all seasons, providing invaluable data 

for land and soil management. Using HD video, HD photos, and IR cameras allows 

for detailed analysis and recording. With photo rendering software, 3D maps and 

topography can be used in conjunction with time-lapse photos to create highly 

detailed maps for erosion, flood mapping and other critical aspects of land 

management.

• Oil and Gas Industry Infrastructure Inspection

POWER DRONES Inc. will use HD video, HD photos, and IR cameras to inspect 

critical oil and gas infrastructures allowing detailed analysis prior to scheduled 

maintenance. This analysis will enable repair crews to minimize down-time which 

in turn greatly improve production efficiency.

VII. Privacy

POWER DRONES Inc. is committed to protecting the public privacy. 
POWER DRONES Inc. that many individual have concerns about privacy from the 

operations of UAS. POWER DRONES Inc. will inform residents, commercial 

property owners, churches, schools, and governmental organizations of our intent 

to conduct commercial drone operations in proximity to their property.

VIII. Federal Registry Summary

Pursuant to 14 CFR Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in 

the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed:

POWER DRONES Inc. seeks an exemption from the following rules: 

14 CFR 91.103; 14 CFR 91.113; 14 CFR 91.119; 14 CFR 91.121; 14 CFR 91.151(a); 14

X. Conclusion

Approval of this exemption request allows POWER DRONES Inc. to conduct 

commercial operations with small and lightweight unmanned aerial systems. 

POWER DRONES Inc. is committed safety, education, and solutions, which enhance 

safety of UAS operations in the NAS while reducing risk to the general public and 

property owners.

POWER DRONES Inc. uses UAS weighing less than 55 pounds and powered by 

batteries. This eliminates virtually all of that risk given the reduced mass and lack 

of large amounts of fuel carried on board as compared manned aircraft. The UAS is 

transported to the designated mission area and set up there. The UAS will carry no 

passengers or crew and, therefore, will not expose them to the risks associated 

with manned aircraft flights.

The operation of this small UAS will provide an equivalent level of safety, 

supporting the grant of the exemptions requested herein, including exempting the 

applicant from the requirements of several regulations and allowing commercial 

operations. These lightweight UAS operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, 

and in a sterile environment. As a result, they are far safer than conventional aerial 

survey and inspection operations conducted with fixed wing aircraft or helicopters. 

If additional information is required, or if you have any questions regarding this 

Petition for Exemption, please contact the undersigned at:

Very Respectfully,

 Osmany Tellez
