Re: Request for exemption from multiple regulatory provisions to allow the use of small unmanned aerial systems over land controlled by employees of Unmanned Aerial Solutions (AMS) to assist in the safe capture of video, images, and surveying of persons and property for commercial use

.

Dear Sir or Madam

Unmanned Aerial Solutions (AMS) pursuant to the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 respectfully requests exemption from several provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”), specifically portions of 14 C.F.R. Parts 45, 61, and 91 to allow, commercial operations of its unmanned aerial system in remote, rural, and closed producti on sets, areas of the United States, as further defined herein, by a Pilot in Command holding an Airline Transport pilot certificate, and the Unmanned Aerial

Solutions Flight Operations Manual.

Brian Walk, and his company Unmanned Aerial Solutions

, is an experienced FAA Air Transport Pilot. Mr. Walk is currently responsible for a single aircraft IS

- BAO stage II private flight department. Mr. Walk has extensive knowledge and respect for the F.A.R.s that govern and certify manned aircraft. Mr.

Walk ha s been an avid R/C model flyer for over twenty years. Brian Walk, Unmanned Aerial Solutions

have been actively involved in the technical development of UAV/UAS service applications to provide high definition video , Near Infrared and surveying capability w ith small unmanned and light weight

UASs. Unmanned Aerial Solutions exemption request would permit its operation of lightweight, unmanned (remotely controlled in line of sight) UASs in tightly controlled and limited airspace. Predetermined, specifically m arked areas of operation, cordoned off locations and corresponding enhancements to current safety controls will allow Unmanned Aerial Solutions to operate within current safety parameters and new ones being implemented. As identified, similar lightweight, commercially available remote controlled UASs are legally operated by amateurs with no flight experience, or practices in place to prevent accidents or incidents from occurring. Unmanned Aerial Solutions will employ fully licensed and current pilots that are also experts in the flight characteristics of the UAS/UAV in which

Unmanned Aerial Solutions operates.

Granting Unmanned Aerial Solutions requests furthers the Secretary of Transportations responsibility and authority to not only integrate UAS’s into the national airspace system, but to “... establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems [UAS] in the nation airspace system” under section 333(c) of the Reform Act, specific to the use of UAS’s for high definition video and Near Inf rared scientific

purposes. Unmanned Aerial Solutions will conduct operations in compliance with the protocols described herein or as otherwise established by the FAA.2

II. Specific Section of the Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations from which Unmanned Aerial

Solutions requests exemption are: 14 CFR 21;

14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. 91, et seq.; 14 CFR 407 (a) (1); 14 CFR 409 (a) (2); and, 14 CFR 417 (a) & (b).

III. The extent of the relief Unmanned Aerial Solutions seeks and reasons for relief.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions will operate as safe ly as possible, taking every precaution to minimize risk to the NAS or to persons and property on the ground. Brian Walk, is an experienced FAA Air Transport Pilot. Mr. Walk is currently responsible for a single aircraft IS

- BAO stage II private flight depa rtment. Mr. Walk has extensive knowledge and respect for the F.A.R.s that govern and certify manned aircraft. Mr. Walk has been an avid R/C model flyer for over twenty years Brian Walk and Unmanned Aerial

Solutions exemption will not adversely affect safety to persons or property by following the strict guidance set forth by its procedures and the operator’s years of experience. By allowing Unmanned

Aerial Solutions to operate, Unmanned Aerial Solutions pilots will be able to gain valuable real world experience that is unattainable any other way. Much like operating a commercial or corporate aircraft. Experience is gained through practical and safe real world experience. With this experience Unmanned

Aerial Soluti ons will develop existing techniques and protocols, as well as develop new ones. In addition, Unmanned Aerial Solutions submits its Flight operations Manual attached to this Exemption Request. Included in the Unmanned Aerial Solutions Flight Operations Manual.

- Second in Command Qualifications and duties

- Spotter qualifications and duties

- FAA Medical Requirements

- Pilot currency requirements

- Crew Resource Management objectives

- Safety Management System

Unmanned Aerial Solutions strives to provide a level of safety that exceeds the existing regulations.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions strives to operate its UAS/UAV as closely and within practicality to the already proven safe F.A.R.s. It is significantly safer to oper ate a battery powered lightweight UAS piloted by FAA licensed pilots than the current helicopter based aerial cinematography systems. First, and foremost the potential loss of life is zero because UASs do not carry an on board crew and Unmanned

Aerial Solu tions only operates them in specific areas away from dense populations. UAS are battery powered, carrying no flammable liquids, thus the potential for fire or explosions is greatly diminished. Third, the small size and extreme maneuverability of Aerial Med ia Systms UASs allow our remote control pilots to avoid hazards. Given their small size and weight, they pose less of an environmental and3

noise impact than conventional manned helicopter based systems available today. Unmanned Aerial

Solutions UAS system s produce less noise than ground power units used to power small corporate aircraft. Thus reducing the acoustic footprint.

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs weigh less than 55 pounds Max Tax off Weight

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions only operates its UASs be low 400 feet;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs only operate for 5

- 25 minutes per flight;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions lands its UASs when they reach 30% battery power;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions remote control pilots operate Unmanned Aerial Solutions UA Ss by line of sight;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions remote control pilots have video backup should they somehow lose sight of the UAS;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions staffs each flight with a remote control pilot, technician and spotter with communication syst ems enabling real time communication between them;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs have GPS flight modes whereby they hover and then slowly land if communication with the remote control pilot is lost or battery power is below 30%;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions actively analyses electronic flight data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance safety protocols;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions only operates in secured areas that are strictly controlled, are away from airports and popu lated areas;

• Unmanned Aerial Solutions conducts extensive briefing prior to flight, emphasizing safety.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions recognizes there is always a potential hazard to those on the ground. These people will be protected by the fact that the no one will be allowed entry into the operations area without prior permission. Security will be established for the operations area as part of the pre

- flight inspections. Each person within the operations area will be briefed about the UAS system’s fli ght and give consent to be in the operations area.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs utilizes four or eight counter

- rotating propellers for balance, control and stability in all segments of flight. Each craft weighs less than 55 pounds, including cinematic or other research equipment. Each of Unmanned Aerial Solutions small unmanned aircraft are designed to primarily hover in place and operate at less than a 50 knot maximum speed. They are capable of vertical and horizontal operations but operate only withi n the line of sight of the remote control pilot. In addition to the remote control pilot, Unmanned Aerial Solutions uses a spotter/ Second in Command and a technician, such that, at minimum, three Aerial Medial Systems personnel govern the safe flight of an Unmanned Aerial Solutions aircraft at all times. Utilizing battery power and not combustible fuels, flights generally last between five and twenty minutes. Unmanned Aerial Solutions does not operate its UASs with less than 30 percent battery capacity. S afety systems in place include a GPS mode that allows

Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs to hover in place if communication with the radio control pilot is lost4

and then slowly descend the UAS at 30 percent battery capacity. Unmanned Aerial Solutions aircraft are programmed, in some instances, to slowly follow a predetermined set of waypoints to return to a safety point predetermined by the Pilot

- In

- Command if communications are lost.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions will not operate its UASs within 5 miles of airpor ts and will not operate them over uncontrolled populated areas. The UAS operating software and GPS navigation systems do not allow any of the Unmanned Aerial Solutions UAS vehicles to operate near airports or

FAA mandated no

- fly zones. In the event an oper ation needs to be conducted closer to an airport,

Unmanned Aerial Solutions will inform the airport operator and airport air traffic control tower of the contemplated operation and will comply with any directions issued by air traffic control at that airpo rt
Unmanned Aerial Solutions only operates its UASs in predetermined areas and only in compliance with safety protocols such as those contained within the its own Flight Operations Manual. Unmanned Aerial

Solutions Flight Operations Manual is tailored to UAS flight, and as closely as practical follows guidelines set forth for the operation of the multi

- crew manned aircraft.

Unmanned Aerial Solutions operation of its small unmanned aircraft will not "create a hazard to users of the national airspace syste m or the public." 112 P.L. 95 § 3 3 3 (b). Given the small size and weight of Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs, combined with their operation in cordoned

off and well

- controlled areas, Unmanned Aerial Solutions flight operations fall within Congress's

contem plated safety zone when it disseminated the Reform Act and the corresponding directive to integrate UASs into the national airspace system. Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs have a demonstrable safety record and do not pose any threat to the general public or national security.

IV. How Unmanned Aerial Solutions request will Benefit the public as a whole:

Granting Unmanned Aerial Solutions exemption request furthers the public interest in many ways. Congress has pronounced that it is in the public's interest to integrate commercially flown UASs into the national airspace system. Unmanned Aerial Solutions will conduct research into safe UAS operations every time it flies one of its UASs. Flight data, v isual inspections, recorded observations and flight analyses are compiled to further enhance current safety procedures. Unmanned Aerial Solutions intends on using their Near Infrared technology to work with golf courses to reduce and more efficiently use pesticides and water resources. This furthers the public interest by reducing the amount of chemicals put into the ground as well as precious fresh water supplies. Allowing Unmanned Aerial Solutions to provide high definition video of real estate for sal e
, will bring a non

- invasive and non

- dramatic use of UAS into the public’s everyday life. Unmanned Aerial Solutions believes that by seeing a UAS used in small applications will promote a positive view towards UASs, instead of historically known military applications. Unmanned Aerial Solutions also believes that UAS used for real estate will be beneficial to its local economy by offering a different and unique view to properties that would otherwise go

unnoticed.

Allowing Unmanned Aerial Solutions to f ly commercially, will allow real world experience to help develop better and more robust safety procedures. The public has an interest in reducing the danger and emission associated with current aerial cinematic capture methods, namely, full size helicopte rs. Unmanned Aerial Solutions UASs are battery powered and create no emissions. If an Unmanned Aerial

Solutions UAS crashes, there is no fuel to ignite and cause significant damage or injury. The impact of

Unmanned Aerial Solutions lightweight UASs is far less than a full size helicopter or current aerial platforms. Although, the noteworthy safety record of full size helicopters used in the motion picture industry currently is impeccable. The public's interest is furthered, by minimizing ecological and cras h impacts, by permitting motion picture capture through Unmanned Aerial Solutions lightweight UASs. Aerial Medial Systems has been analyzing flight data and other information into novel safety protocols. These procedures and lessons will be implemented int o flight operations manual that exceeds currently5

accepted means and methods of safe flight. Unmanned Aerial Solutions and Brian Walk through years of command experience on large cabin corporate aircraft, have based their Flight operations manual off of an IBAO stage II manual for a manned aircraft, of which Brian Walk is the author of. Congress mandated the integration of UASs into our national airspace system, in part, to achieve progression in this field. Permitting Unmanned Aerial Solutions to immediate ly fly within the United States furthers these goals. Whether it is the scientific discoveries applicable to feature film making to advancements in publicly usable technologies, or advancements in equipment available to law enforcement personnel I first

re sponders that does not cost millions of dollars.

V. Reasons Why Unmanned Aerial Solutions Exemption Will Not Adversely Affect Safety Or How The Exemption Will Provide a Level of Safety At Least Equal To Existing

Rule:

Unmanned Aerial Solutions strives to provide a level of safety that exceeds the existing regulations.

VI. A Summary The FAA May Publish in the Federal Register:

A. 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals and The Like.7

14 C.F.R. 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR §91.203(a)(1). T he size, weight and enclosed operational area of Unmanned Aerial Solutions , UAS permits exemption from Part 21 because our UAS meets (and exceeds) an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt airc raft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 (f)) and Section 333

of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of t he weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. Unmanned Aerial Solutions

, current and projected UAS's meet or exceed each of the elements.

14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is

i napplicable.

14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are no on board

p ilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable.

10 The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737,8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 9565B, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700 and 32827. 14 C .F.R. § 91.121 regarding altimeter settings is inapplicable insofar as my UAS utilizes electronic global positioning systems with a barometric sensor.

14 C.F.R. § 91.203 (a) and (b) provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and registrat ions. They are inapplicable for the same reasons described above. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining any such required certifications and registrations by

Unmanned Aerial Solutions

.

B. 4 C.F.R. § 45.23: Marking of the Aircraf t.

Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to certain specifications. Unmanned Aerial Solutions sUAS are, by definition, unmanned. They therefore do

not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, two

inch lettering is difficult to place on such small aircraft with dimensions smaller that minimal lettering requirement. Regardless, I will mark its UASs in the largest possible lettering by placing

the word “EXPERIMENTAL” on its fuselage as required by 14 C.F.R. §45.29 (f) so that I the pilot, or anyone assisting me as a spotter with the UAV will see the markings. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation through Exemptions Nos. 8738, 10167, 10167A

and 10700

.

C. 14 C.F.R. § 61.113: Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations:

PIC. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b), private pilots are limited to non

- commercial operations Unmanned Aerial Solutions , can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current Regulations because my UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. Further, while helpful, a pilot license will not ensure remote control piloting skills. The risks attended to the operation of my UAS is far less than the risk levels inherent in the commercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, et seq. Thus, allowing, Unmanned Aerial Solutions , to operate my UAS meet and exceed current safety levels in relation to 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b).

D. 14 C.F.R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes.8

14 C.F.R. § 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. My UAS will never operate at an altitude greater than 200 AGL; safely below the standard of 400 AGL. Unmanned

Aerial Solutions , will however operate its UAS in safe areas away from public and traffic, providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in rela tion to minimum safe altitudes. Given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed of my UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved.

E. 14 C.F.R. 91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections.

10 Appendix E

- Safety/Flight Manual

The above

- cited Regulations require, amongst other things, aircraft owners and operators to “have [the] aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and S hall between required inspections, except as provided in para graph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter. . . .” These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. They will not, therefore, apply Unmanned Aerial Solutions UAS. However, as a safety precaution Unmanned Aerial Solutions will inspect its UAS before and after each flight.

A Summary The FAA May Publish in the Federal Register: A. 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals and The Like. 14 C.F.R. 21, Subpa rt H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR § 91.203(a)(1). The size, weight and enclosed operational area of Unmanned Aerial Solutions UAS permits exemption from Part 21 because

Unmanned Aerial Solutions , UAS meets an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. Unmanned Aerial Solutions UAS meets or exceeds each of the elements. 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibits the operation

of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such ce rtificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is inapplicable. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are no pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Reg ulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a manual. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 9565B, 10167, maintenance program that invol ves regular software updates and curative measures for any damaged hardware. Therefore, an equivalent level of safety will be achieved.

In summary Unmanned Aerial Solutions seeks an exemption from the following Regulations:

14 C.F.R. 21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. §91.7 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2); 14 C.F.R. § 91.103(b); 14 C.F.R. § 91.109; 14 C.F.R. §91.119; 14 C.F.R. § 91.121; 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.203(a) and (b ); 14 C.F.R. § 91.405 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.407 (a)(1); 14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a)(2); 14 C.F.R. §91.409 (a ) (2); and, 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.417 (a) & (b) to commercially operate Unmanned Aerial Solutions’, small unmanned vehicle/lightweight unmanned aircraft vehicle in9

favorable, safe community awareness projects, Near Infrared spectrographic analysis, real estate operations, and small event photography. Currently Near Infrared spectrograph/ videography/photography relies primarily on the use of larger aircraft runnin g on combustible fuel flying low. Posing potential risk to the public. Granting Unmanned Aerial Solutions , request for exemption will reduce current risk levels and thereby enhance safety. Unmanned Aerial Solutions UAS craft do not contain potentially expl osive fuel, is smaller, lighter and more maneuverable than conventional video and photographic aircraft with much less flight time. Further, I operate at lower altitudes and in controlled airspace eliminating potential public risk flying to and from establ ished air fields. Unmanned Aerial Solutions has written and will work on refining current safety protocols , and flight manuals that exceed currently accepted means and methods for safe flight. Formal collection of information shared with the FAA will enhan ce the FAA's internal efforts to establish protocols for complying with the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of

2 012. There are no personnel on board Unmanned Aerial Solutions UAS and therefore the likelihood of death or serious bodily injury is significan tly diminished. Unmanned Aerial Solutions’ , operation of my UAS, weighing less than 55 pounds and travelling at lower speeds within limited areas will provide an equivalent level of safety as that achieved under current FARs. Unmanned Aerial Solutions res pectfully request that the FAA grant it’s exemption.

Sincerely,

Brian M. Walk
