Re: Section 333 Exemption Request 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 3 3 3 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the 

"Reform Act"), Hourigan Construction Corp. ("Petitioner") hereby applies for an exemption 

from the Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") described in Section VII below and any other 

exemptions necessary to allow Petitioner to operate the small Unmanned Aircraft System 

("UAS") described in Section IV to take aerial images ofbuildings and construction sites in 

order to provide more details about the status and operations of projects, as more fully described 

in Section IX below. 

I. Background on Petitioner 

Hourigan Construction has a date of incorporation of June 1, 1965 and currently employs 

approximately 110 people. They have offices in Richmond, Virginia and Virginia Beach, 

Virginia. 

Hourigan offers full-service general contracting and construction management throughout 

Central Virginia, Hampton Roads and North Carolina. Hourigan performs the majority 

of their work in the Commercial, Government, Institutional and Healthcare sectors. 

II. Contact Information 

The contact information for Petitioner is set forth below:

III. Request for Exemption to Use UAS at Construction Sites 

Petitioner proposes to use the UAS to take aerial images (still and video) of buildings and 

construction sites in order to provide more details about the status of construction, quality of 

installations and safety of operations. Petitioner proposes to operate one UAS at its site in 

Hampton Roads, Virginia and the other at its Central Virginia location. The data will be used for 

numerous purposes, including without limitation, to make the construction process safer and 

more efficient. The data collected will be used by Petitioner for its internal use and will only be 

shared with its clients or their respective agents and employees. Aerial data collection will be 

conducted under the conditions set forth herein and the Section 333 exemption grant. In that 

regard, the airspace will be (i) limi-ted, (ii) predetermined, and (iii) controlled as to access. 

Petitioner will limit operations to property whose owners have been notified in advance and have 

provided consent. Operations will always occur within the line of sight of the UAS operator. 

Petitioner will take steps to protect the privacy of the property owners and nearby individuals. 

Given the potential for this exemption to improve the construction process, which will 

improve safety and reduce costs, the Petitioner requests that this request for exemption be 

considered on an expedited basis. In that regard, Petitioner notes that the FAA has previously 

granted exemptions for similar activities for the DJI Inspire 1. 1 

IV. Unmanned Aircraft System 

DJI Inspire 1 

The DJI Inspire 1 weighs less than 7 lbs., has four motors and has the ability to hover and 

move along a vertical and horizontal plane simultaneously. Its dimensions are 438mm x 451mm 

x 301mm or 17.24inch x 17.75inch x 11.85 inches. Under still air the maximum speed is no 

more than 49mph with a cruising speed of 25m ph. Its safety system will allow it either to hover 

in place and slowly descend if communication with the pilot is lost or to return to a 

predetermined point. 

In support of this exemption request, Petitioner is submitting as attachments the 

applicable operational documents for the UAS described above (the "Operational Documents"). 

V. Statutory Authority for Requested Exemptions 

This petition for exemption is submitted in accordance with Section 333 of the Reform 

Act. Pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 

Administrator (the "Administrator") is to permit operation of an unmanned aircraft system where 

1 See, e.g., Build Imagery, LLC ( DJI Inspire- Exemption 11204)

it does not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system (NAS) or the public or pose a 

threat to national security. Moreover, the Federal Aviation Act grants the Administrator general 

authority to grant exemptions from the agency's safety regulations and minimum standards when 

the Administrator decides such a requested exemption is in the public interest. See 49 U.S.C. 

§ § 1 06( f), 44 701-44 716, et seq. A party requesting an exemption must explain the reasons why 

the exemption: (i) would benefit the public as a whole, and (ii) would not adversely affect safety 

or how it would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rules. 14 C.F .R. § 11. 81. 

VI. Safety Measures and Public Interest Benefits 

As described in more detail in Section IX, the Petitioner will take measures to ensure 

such operations will not create a hazard to aviation or the public. Flights will be conducted 

under 400 feet AGL thereby avoiding interference with users of the NAS. Flights will be 

suspended immediately to yield right-of-way to any other aircraft. Geo-fencing will be utilized 

when available to ensure that a UAS does not fly outside of the intended area. The site will be 

secured and only authorized personnel will be permitted on the grounds. Given the size and 

speed of the UAS, the controlled nature of the locations being used and the lack of explosive 

materials or flammable jet fuels, the operations will not pose a threat to national security. 

There are a number of reasons why granting the Petitioner's request to operate the UAS 

for commercial aerial data collection is in the public interest. For example, use ofUAS in this 

manner will make conditions safer for construction works by identifying potential hazards and 

by reducing the need to climb through unfinished projects to obtain needed information. In 

addition, contractors will be able to obtain the data necessary to more quickly make accurate 

assessments, which will reduce both time and cost to customers. 

VII. Specific Sections from Which Petitioners Seek an Exemption 

Based upon the information provided and the exemptions that the FAA has already 

granted pursuant to Section 333, the Petitioner requests the following exemptions:

14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a) 

14 C.F.R. § 91.407(a)(1) 

14 C.F.R. § 91.409(a)(1) 

14 C.F.R. § 91.409(a)(2) 

14 C.F.R. § 91.417(a) 

14 C.F.R. § 91.417(b) 

VIII. Justifications for Each Exemption Request 

1. 14 C.F.R. § 61.23(a), 14 C.F.R. § 61.23(c), 14 C.F.R. § 61.101(e)(4), 14 C.F.R. 

§ 61.101(e)(5), 14 C.F.R. § 61.113(a) and 14 C.F.R. § 61.315(a). 

Petitioner notes that FAA is requires the Pilot in Command (PIC) to hold either an airline 

transport, commercial, private, recreational or sport certificate pilot license and either a current 

FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license issued by a state, the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. Petitioner will 

ensure that its PICs will satisfy each of these requirements. Since Petitioners' PICs will be 

operating UAS under the same conditions as those previously granted, an equivalent level of 

safety will be met by granting these exemptions. 

2. 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a) Civil aircraft worthiness. 

Section 91.7 (a) requires that an operator determine an aircraft is in airworthy condition 

before a flight. Petitioner requests relief from this section provided that the operator of the UAS 

determines prior to each flight that the aircraft is in compliance with the applicable Operational 

Documents. Such pre-flight inspection will provide the equivalent level of safety as that 

provided by this section. Petitioner notes that the Administrator has granted relief from this 

section in previous exemptions. 

3. 14 C.F .R. § 91.119( c) Minimum safe altitudes over congested and other areas. 

Section 91.119( c) establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft over areas other 

than congested areas. The Petitioner requests relief from this section with respect to those 

participating persons, vehicles, and structures directly involved with operations. The UAS will 

never operate at higher than 400 AGL. Relief from this section is warranted as operations will 

be conducted with adequate safety provisions as outlined herein and in the applicable 

Operational Documents. As a result, an equivalent level of safety will be met by granting this 

exemption. Petitioner notes that the Administrator has granted relief from this section in 

previous exemptions.

4. 14 C.F.R. § 91.121 Altimeter Settings. 

This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by 

reference to an altimeter that is set " ... to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate 

altimeter setting available before departure." An exemption from this section may be needed if 

the UAS does not have a barometric altimeter, but instead has a GPS altitude read out. An 

equivalent level of safety will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the applicable Operational 

Documents, confirming the altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before 

flight. As a result, an equivalent level of safety will be met by granting this exemption. 

Petitioner notes that the Administrator has granted relief from this section in previous 

exemptions. 

5. 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a)(l) Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. 

Section 91.151 (a)(l) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane 

under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough 

fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed- (1) 

During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes." 

Complying with the 30 minute reserve would severely limit the length of the Petitioner's 

UAS flights and hamper operational use. Given the limitations on the UAS's proposed flight 

area a longer time frame for flight in daylight conditions is reasonable. Operating the UAS in a 

tightly controlled area does not raise the type of risks that this section was intended to address, 

particularly given the size and speed of the UAS. Petitioner believes that an equivalent level of 

safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 50 minutes or 20% of battery power, whichever 

happens first. Petitioner notes that the Administrator has granted relief from this section in 

previous exemptions. 

6. 14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a) Maintenance required; 14 C.F.R. § 91.407(a)(l) Operation 

after maintenance, preventive maintenance, rebuilding or alteration; 14 C.F.R. 

§§ 91.409(a)(l) and (2) Inspections; 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.417(a) and (b) Maintenance 

records. 

Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator pursuant to the applicable Operational 

Documents. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the UAS are very limited in 

size and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for limited periods of 

time. If mechanical issues arise, the UAS will be operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL 

and can immediately land. As provided in the applicable Operational Documents, 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. Moreover, 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. As a result, an equivalent level of safety will 

be met by granting this exemption. Petitioner notes that the Administrator has granted relief 

from this section in previous exemptions. 

7. Additional Relief. 

In addition to the exemptions listed above, the Petitioner requests exemption from such 

other rules and regulations as the FAA deems appropriate to enable the operations described 

herein. Since previous exemptions granted under Section 333 of the Reform Act have been 

effective for two years, the Petitioner also requests that if the FAA issues interim or final rules 

applicable to the operation of any UAS included herein after the Petitioner receives a Grant of 

Exemption that any conditions and limitations required in such Grant that are more burdensome 

than the new regulation be appropriately modified or removed. 

8. Expedited Process. 

Given that this exemption is similar to those that have already been granted, Petitioner 

requests that, if possible, this request for exemption be considered on an expedited basis. 

IX. Operating Parameters for UAS Use 

Petitioner proposes that if the requested exemptions are granted, it will operate the UAS 

under the following conditions: 

28557161_1 

1. UAS operations will be conducted by a Pilot in Command (PIC). The PIC shall hold 

an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The 

PIC will also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's 

license issued by a state, the District of Colombia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a 

possession, or the Federal government. The UAS will be in visual line of site 

(VLOS) of the PIC at all times. 

2. All UAS operations will utilize a visual observer ("VO"). The VO will not perform 

any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding air traffic and 

other ground-based obstacles/obstructions. 

3. The PIC and VO will be able to communicate verbally at all times. 

4. Petitioner will rely on a qualified vendor(s) to provide a pilot qualification program,

qualifications/training. A record of completion of this qualification process will be 

documented and made available to the Administrator upon request. 

5. UAS will not be flown at ground speeds exceeding 100 mph. 

6. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level. 

7. Each UAS operation will be completed within 50 minutes flight time or with 20% 

battery power remaining, whichever occurs first. 

8. UAS will not be operated over any person (other than participating personnel) at an 

altitude that is hazardous to persons or property on the surface in the event of a UAS 

failure or emergency. UAS will be operated at a distance from participating buildings 

of at least 10 feet. Operations will be conducted at least 500 feet from nonparticipating persons or buildings, unless barriers are in place to provide adequate 

protection. 

9. The UAS will abort the flight in the event ofunpredicted obstacles or emergencies in 

accordance with the applicable Operational Document. 

10. The UAS will remain clear and yield the right of way to all other manned operations 

and activities at all times. 

11. UAS operations will not be conducted during night. 

12. The UAS will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 

13. The UAS will not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet

Aircraft 

This chapter describes the features of 

the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning 

System and the Intelligent Flight Battery. 
Aircraft 

The Inspire 1 's flight controller is based on OJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new 

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic 

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: 

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. 

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

P-ATII: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

o\j: Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these 

LEOs are shown in the figure below: 

-, ---A;rcraft Status Indicator

The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are three cases 

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

Horne Point 

Smart RTH 

The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( ~,ull ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setting, the Horne Point will be updated to your current position as you 

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Horne Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Smart RTH and regain the control. 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that 

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately 

when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point 

when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is 

taken after 10 seconds countdown. User can cancel the RTH by pressing once on the RTH button. The 

thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the current aircraft altitude and its 

distance from the Home Point. 

Aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft to land to the ground 

from the current altitude. User can use the remote controller to control the aircraft's orientation during the 

landing process.

Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in 

motion and require a Home Point that is different from the 

takeoff point. GPS module is located at the position shown in 

the figure below: 

& Ensure the space above the GPS module is not 

obstructed when using Dynamic Home Point. 

15 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

There are two options for Dynamic Home Point. 

1. Set the aircraft current coordinate as the new Home Point. 

2. Set the remote controller's coordinate as the new Home Point. 

Setting Up Dynamic Home Point 

Follow the steps below to setup Dynamic Home Point: 

1. Connect to the mobile device and launch the DJI Pilot app and go to the "Camera" page. 

2. Tap"lfl"and select"~", to reset the remote controller's coordinates as the new Home Point. 

3. Tap"lfl"and select"4-'l'", to reset the aircraft's coordinates as the new Home Point. 

4. The aircraft status indicator blinks green to show Home Point is set successfully. 

DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft 

identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more 

precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main 

components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar 

sensors and[2]one monocular camera. 

[1]----' 

Using Vision Positioning 

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is 

required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By 

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perform precision hovering even when 

no GPS is available. 

~...--~~~---,7 

I A-I 
INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system 

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, 

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up 

to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. 

& The performance of your Inspire 1's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound 

absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: 

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

• Flying at high speeds( over Brn/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). 

• Flying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. 

• Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. 

• Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. 

• In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

:\): • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors. 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 1001ux). 

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is 

in operation. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar 

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

Flight data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to 

these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status 

information, speed, and other parameters.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. 

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app, 

enter the "Camera" page, tap "MODE", and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode" .

This chapter describes the flight safety 

and flight restrictions. 
Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly 

safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s , 

snow, rain and smog. 

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board 

compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature. 

Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft 

performance may be reduced. 

6. The Inspire 1 cannot operate within the polar areas in "P" mode. 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight limits are described in the following 

section. 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as 

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For 

safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and 

legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A 

mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the 

DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

No-Fly Zones 

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly. No-Fly Zones are 

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying fields where manned 

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites. 

The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below: 

Airport: 

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and flight is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to R1 + 1 mile around the airport, the flight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The flight altitude is limited to 1640 

feet (500 meters) at R1 + 1 mile. 

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear 

in the OJI Pilot app. 
I . .1- 1 mile _____.1+-- ~+--------- R2 -------> 

Restricted Areas: 

(1) Restricted Areas do not have a flight altitude restriction. 

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

No-fly zone Restricted-altitude flight zone Warning zone 

(2) R around the designated Restricted Area is a Take-off Restricted area. Aircraft cannot takeoff within 

this zone. The value of R varies depending on the definition of the Restricted Area. 

(3) A "warning zone" has been set around each Restricted Area. When the aircraft is within 0.6 miles (1
