Kyle Goldstein –REALTOR- Drone Photography. I am a licensed FAA Air Transport Pilot and 

Commercial Pilot. I propose to use my DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAV in the San Antonio, Texas 

area to display home real estate listings and for community educational purposes. 

I will maintain the 200 foot elevation ceiling limit set by the FAA. I will maintain the necessary

5 nautical miles (NM) from an airport having an operational control tower or 2 NM from a 

heliport with a published instrument flight procedure. I will not pilot my UAV beyond my line of 

sight. I will not operate my DJI Phantom 2 Vision over a crowd of people or over public 

gathering locations. 

It is expected that the average distance the DJI Phantom 2 Vision will operate away from the 

pilot in charge will be between 50 to 700 horizontal feet. 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision will not be operated in or around any cloud or heavy fog conditions 

that would impair line of sight of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision to the pilot in charge. The DJI 

Phantom 2 Vision will not be operate in conditions when wind speeds exceeds 20 miles per hour. 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision will only be flown during daylight hours during the time of day

approximately 30 minutes after sunrise to 30 minutes before sundown. 

My DJI Phantom 2 Vision has four plastic propellers and is battery operated. The UAV is 

powered by an intelligent battery that has a 5200 mAh capacity and an 11.1 V voltage. The 

expected flight time on one battery is approximately 20 minutes. 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision that I will be operating has a climb rate of 1181 ft/min and a descent 

rate of 394 ft/min. The turn rate of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision is 200o/second. The maximum 

cruise speed of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision is 2950 ft/min. Gross takeoff weight is 35 ounces. 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision has a built in flight control system used to control the entire aircraft’s 

functions in flight. The inertial measurement unit has a built in inertial sensor and barometric 

altimeter that measures both attitude and altitude. The compass reads geomagnetic information 

which assists the GPS to accurately calculate the aircrafts position and height. The receiver is 

used to communicate with the remote control. 

Before each flight with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision, the compass for the DJI Phantom 2 will be 

calibrated to avoid any electromagnetic interference. 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision is programmed with a failsafe mode. This mode is activated when the 

connection from the remote is lost. The flight control system will automatically control the 

aircraft to home (take off location) and land the aircraft. The DJI Vision App provides a 

percentage read out of the battery life remaining. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision is programmed to 

return home similar to failsafe mode if the remain battery percentage reaches 5% or below. 

A pre-flight inspection of the UAV will be performed before every take off of the DJI Phantom 2 

Vision. This inspection will verify that there is no visual damage to the body of the UAV or the 

four propellers. 
Pre-flight checklist will be as follows but not limited to: 

1. Carry the DJI Phantom 2 Vision, controller and Wifi connecting monitor to an open area. 

2. Turn on router 

3. Turn on transmitter remote 

4. Turn on Wifi connecting monitor

5. Toggle switches 1 and 2 to the full up position 

6. Place DJI Phantom 2 onto a flat location at ground level 

7. Turn on intelligent battery

8. Turn on video/camera attached to DJI Phantom 2 Vision 

9. Verify Wifi connection with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision 

10. Verify GPS connection with multiple satellites 

11. Take off 

The remote control of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision is a 6-channel radio controller that operates at a 

5.728GHz-5.8GHz frequency that supports a communication distance of up to 984.3' (300m) 

depending on the flight environment. The frequency hopping anti-interference design allows up 

to 60 remote controllers to be active in the same area at the same time. 

The camera on the DJI Phantom 2 Vision is a 14 megapixel camera that has a field of view of 

120 degrees. The camera has a sensor size of 1/2.3”. The camera also supports 1080 HD video 

recording. 

I will be the pilot in control of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision during all proposed flights. I have been 

flying the DJI Phantom 2 Vision for approximately seven months as a hobbyist and have 

approximately 20 hours of flight experience. I have operated the DJI Phantom 2 Vision around 

my home and in rural areas. I do have obtained any airmen certification and a Class 1 flight 

physical as well as a US Air Force flight physical. 

An observer that is 18 years old will accompany me on all flights, if required. The observer will 

also provide general observations concerning the flight and any possible hazardous conditions 

that may be encountered.
