Hawk E ye Aerial Photography 7161 Raleigh - LaGrange Rd Cordova TN 38018 901 - 299 - 1635 December 22, 2015 Federal Aviation Administration Dear Sir or Sirs: May this find you well. I am requesting a 333 exemption for the commercial use of a small UAS for the purpose of aerial photograph y. As a certificated private pilot, I intend to conduct the safest possible operations while avoiding interference with the National Airspace S ys tem (NAS). The purpose of m y pending business is to make videos and still pictures for the real estate industry , roofers, repair businesses, and promotional video professionals. The operations will avoid any and all airport areas within five miles without first cont acting Air Traffic Control (ATC). The vast majority of operations will be no more than 100 feet above a building or structure, and within 1000 feet laterall y in order to avoid conflict or impose any danger to manned air traffic. As aircraft are required a 2000 - foot lateral cushion from structures or terrain i.e., towers or cliffs, this provides a minimum 1000 - foot separation from any other aircraft. In addition, I intend to follow the FAA preflight checklist:

 I fly below 400 feet  I alway s fl y within visual line of sight  I’m aware of FAA airspace requirements faa.gov/go/uastfr  I never fly

over groups of people  I never fly

over stadiums and sports events  I never fly

within 5 miles of an airport without first contacting air traffic control and airport authorities  I never fly

near emergency

response efforts such as fires  I never fly

near other aircraft  I never fly

December 22, 2015 Page 2 All operations will follow a thorough inspection of the UAS as prescribed in the owner’s manual including but not limited to ins pecting propellers, landing gear, batteries, camera mount. The UAS will be clearl y marked with its FAA - assigned registration number. The UAS is a Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K. Its quick - start guide contains the FCC compliance statement in regard to Part 15 of the FCC rules, available upon request. Itoperates on a frequency band of 2.4 GHz, and the camera operates on a transmission band of 5.8 GHz. It s max speed is 12 mph. I currently

hold a private pilot certificate (single engine, land), and am approaching 200 hours’ total flight time, mostly

in Cessna 172s. As of this writing, I am also pursuing m y instrument rating, and later will pursue a commercial rating. I also hold a second - class medical certificate As the purpose of this operation is for aerial photography and video for commercial purposes, the UAS and the business entity will have the necessary

liability insurance. In order to avoid claims or injuries, I intend to conduct all operations in the safes t possible manner. This includes but is not limited to walking the area of flight to assess any potential obstacles or people, making sure the UAS does not fly

over unauthorized properties, and does is not a danger or nuisance to people or animals . Due to the nature of the proposed operations, there will never be a reason or need to operate in or near clouds. Foggy conditions will prohibit any operations, as there would be no benefit to operating in such. The areas of intended operation will be clear of tel ephone/utility

wires, trees, and an y other such obstacles. An y operations such as for pipe line or power line patrol will be followed b y contact with the Memphis FSDO at 901 - 322 - 8600. It is m y intention to abide by all local and federal regulations and to operate in the safest possible manner. If I have missed anything, please feel free to contact me so I can expedite an y further required information. And thank you for keeping our skies safe.
Sincerel y, Jason W Mitchell
