Dear S ir or Madam, Pursuant to Section 333 of th e FAA Mo derni zation and Reform Act of 2012 (the " Refo rm Act") and 14 C

.F.R. Part II Aerial Endeavors seeks an exe mption from Fe dera l Aviation Regulations ("F ARs ")de tail ed below for the following described Unmanned Aircraft System.

T HE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM (UAS) D ETA ILS : The manuf ac ture r i s DJI. It is model Phantom 3 Prof essio nal (2.8 lb gross weig ht fully equipp ed ) battery o nl y ope rate d 4 mo tor cra ft in th e form of a quadcopter that takes off and la nd s ve rti ca ll y.

Aerial E ndeavor s will not operate a UAS ne ar airport s and generally do es not fl y over crowds. S ituation al awarene ss is important.

F urther , Aerial End eav ors ' UAS i s considerably lighter than the alternative, which i s a h e lic opter o r s mall plan e. C urrentl y, Aeri a l E

nde avo rs has only one UAS which only operat es off 23 minute s of batter y pow er. Therefore, th e UAS u se d by Aerial End eavo rs wo uld only have a fli ght time of 5

### PH: (2 1 8) 428-4444 (k) The PIC will brief the prop e rt y owner about the operation and ri sk before the fir s t flight at each new location; (I) No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight In spec tion by the PI C before each operation to ascertain that the UAS is in a condition safe for flight.
My operations above, [(a) through(!)] , are the b a r e minimum safe ty requirement s Aeria l Endeavors will follow. Aerial Endeavors is also more than willing to follow any add iti o nal safety requirement s if not li s t e d above. As s tated by President Barak Obama in hi s r ece nt memorandum for the head s of executive departm e nts and agenc ies concerning a UAS, publi s hed on February 15 , 2015. "A s compared to manned aircraft, UAS may provide lower-co s t operation and augment existing capabi lit ies while reducing ri sks to human li fe. Estimates s ugge s t the positive economic impact to U.S. industry of the integration of UAS into the NAS could be s ub s tantial and likely wi ll grow for the foreseeable future". Aeria l Endeavors believes flying its UAS as a small business within the saf e ty p a rameters of the FAA , can help p eop le and promote the economy.
