Re: Request for Exemption under Sec tion 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and Part 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations from Certain Provisions of 14 C.F.R. Volair, LLC
Dear Sir or Madam: Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, Antonelli Law files this petition for exemption on behalf of Volair, LLC ( Volair ) , an operator of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (“UAs”) for the commercial purposes of aerial photography and videography for real estate, open set TV, open set film, cell tower inspection, building inspections, windfarm inspection, and search and rescue . Specifically, petitioner seeks an exemption from the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed in Appendix A to allow commercial operati on of its UA , so long as such operations are conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as may be established by the FAA in a grant of this petition. This request is substantially similar to dozens of other aerial photography and videogra phy petitions previously approved, and should be considered under the expedited summary grant procedure. Approval of the exemption for petitioner will allow operation of the DJI Inspire 1 , DJI Inspire 1 Pro and DJI Phantom 3 Professional for the proposed uses in Class G airspace nationwide, or as otherwise prescribed by an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued COA. The UA covered by this petition has been previously approved for the proposed uses in the exemption grants identified in Section VII of the pet ition. The UA covered by this petition is small battery

- powered craft, weighing no greater than 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) , inclusive of battery and payload. Operation of the UA under the strict conditions proposed below will provide an equivalent level of safety, a s Congress intended, while still allowing commercial op erations. Operations using this UA is far safer than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed

- wing aircraft that weigh thousands of pounds, carry large amounts of highly flammable f uel, and operate in close proximity to the ground, trees, infrastructure, and people. Congress directed the FAA to consider seven factors in deciding whether to approve3 Table of Contents I. Publishable Summary

I. Publishable Summary Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §11, the following summary is provided for publication in the Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed: Petitioner seeks an exemption from the following rules: 14 C.F.R 21(h); 14 C.F.R. 43.7; 14 C.F.R. 43.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.11; 14 C.F.R. 45.27; 14 C.F.R. 45.29; 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.9(c); 14 C.F.R. 91.103(b)(2); 14 C.F.R. 91.105; 14 C.F.R. 91.109; 14 C.F.R. 91.113(b); 14 C.F.R. 91.11 9 (c); 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. 215; 14 C.F.R. 91.403; 14 C.F.R. 91.405(a); 14 C.F.R. 91.407(a)(1); 14 C.F.R. 409(a)(1) and (2); and 14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) and (b) to operate commercially small unmanned ai rcraft systems (UAs) ( 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) or less). Approval of the exemption requested by petitioner will allow commercial operation of the DJI Inspire 1, DJI Inspire 1 Pro and DJI Phantom 3 Professional for the purposes of aerial photography and videography for real estate, open set TV, open set film, cell tower inspection, building inspections, windfarm inspection, and search and rescue in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO

- issued COA. The requested exemption should be grante d because operation of a small UA weighing no greater than 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg) , inclusive of battery and payload , conducted in the strict conditions outlined below, will provide an equivalent level of safety, while still allowing commercial operations. The li ghtweight aircraft covered by the exemption are far safer than conventional operations conducted with helicopters and fixed

- wing aircraft weighing thousands of pounds and carrying large amounts of highly flammable fuel, and operating in close proximity to the ground and people. The seven factors Congress directed the FAA to consider when approving Section 333 exemption petitions

- size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports, proximity to populated areas, and operation within visual li ne of sight

– each support the request. In particular, the aircraft are small, and will operate at slow speeds, and close to the ground. The substantial increase of safety and decrease of risk to human life, coupled with the low risk use of UAs to conduct these operations, weigh heavily in favor of granting the exemption.

IV. Aircraft and Equivalent Level of Safety Petitioner proposes that the exemption apply to UAs that have the characteristics and that operate with the limitations proposed herein. These limitations provide for a lev el of safety at least equivalent to or higher than manned aircraft operations under the current regulatory structure. Section V below identifies the limitations and conditions to which petitioner agrees to be bound when conducting commercial operations un der a grant of this petition. Appendix A contains a matrix connecting (i) the specific proposed condition with (ii) the FAR provision for which it provides an equivalent level of safety and (iii) one or more recent Section 333 exemption grants in which the FAA recognized this equivalent level of safety. Approval of the commercial operations outlined in this petition presents no national security issue. The PIC will possess, at minimum, a sport pilot’s certificate, and therefore he or she will have been sub

ject to security screening by the Department of Homeland Security.
V. Proposed Conditions of the Exemption
1. The UA s , including battery and technical payload, will weigh no more than approximately 7.7 lbs (3.5 kg)

. 2. UA operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purposes of aerial photography and videography for real estate, open set TV, open set film, cell tower inspection, building inspections, windfarm inspection, and search and rescue in Class G airspace nationwide, unless otherwise prescribed by an ATO

- issued COA.
3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of a PIC and VO.
4. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL, as indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL.
5. The UA s will not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 43 knots

. 6. Minimum flight crew for each operation will consist of the UA PIC and a VO.9

7. The P IC will possess at a minimum sport pilot license and either a third class medical certificate or a U.S. driver’s license.
8. The petitioner will not permit any PIC to operate the UA s unless the PIC meets its qualification criteria and demonstrates the abilit y to safely operate the UA in a manner consistent with how the UA will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification fligh t hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR §61.51(b). A record of the PIC training will be documented and made available upon request by the Administrator. Training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training ses sions. During training, proficiency, and experience

- building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations will be considered nonparticipants, and the PIC will operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 C FR § 91.119.
9. The VO will not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions, and will not be permitted to operate the camera or other instruments.
10. The PIC will b e designated before the flight and will not be allowed to transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC will ensure that the VO can perform the functions prescribed in these conditions and the operating documents.
11. A briefing will be conducted in regard to the planned UA operations prior to each day’s activities. It will be mandatory that all personnel who will be performing duties in connection with the operations be present for this briefing.
12. Prior to each flig ht , the PIC will inspect the UA , including the Ground Control Station, to ensure it is in a condition for safe flight. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UA, the PIC will not operate the UA until the necessary mainte nance has been performed and the UA is found to be in a condition for safe flight. All maintenance and alterations will be properly documented in the aircraft records.
13. Petitioner will conduct a functional flight test on any UA that has undergone maintenan ce or alterations that affect the UA operation or flight characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component. The PIC who conducts the functional test flight will make an entry in the aircraft records.
14. The petitioner will carry out its main tenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in accordance with the UA manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements set forth in the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, a lterations, and status of replacement/overhaul component parts will be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in service, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the UA to service. The authorized person will make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken against discrepancies discovered between inspections.
15. The UA will be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. This requires the PIC to be ab le to use human vision unaided by any device other than10

corrective lenses. PIC and VO will at all times be able to communicate verbally. They will not be permitted to use electronic messaging or texting to communicate during flight operations.
16. The PIC will not begin a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and prepare to land with at least 25% battery power remaining.
17. Actual total flight time f or each operational flight will result in no less than a 25% battery reserve.
18. The UA will have the capability to abort a flight in case of unexpected obstacles or emergencies.
19. The UA will be programmed so that if it loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it will return to a pre

- determined location within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating documents
20. If the UA and its radio control link disconnect during flight, the system’s failsafe protection will be triggered and the multirotor will return to home and land automatically, rather than flying off uncontrollably or landing at an unknown location.
21. The operating documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 will be maintained and available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UA any time the UA is operating. These documents will be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in the exemp tion grant and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the grant conditions and limitations will take precedence and will be followed. Otherwise, the petitioner will follow the procedures outlined in its operating documents. If it updates or re vises its operating documents, it will present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. If the petitioner determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the Petitioner wi ll petition for an amendment to the grant of exemption.
22. Petitioner will obtain written and/or oral permission from the landowners/authorized agents of the landowners over which flights will be conducted.
23. Petitioner will obtain all required permissions a nd permits from territorial, state, county or city jurisdictions, including local law enforcement, fire, or other appropriate governmental agencies.
24. UA operations will not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations will be cond ucted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights will not be conducted under special visual flight rules (SVFR).
25. The petitioner will obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA) prior to conduct ing any operations under the grant of exemption. Petitioner will request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, but not less than 24 hours prior to the operation. All operations will be conducted in accordance11

with airspace requireme nts in the ATO issued COA, including class of airspace, altitude level and potential transponder requirements.
26. The UA will not be operated within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a current FAA

- published aeronautical chart unl ess a letter of agreement with that airport’s management has been obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator’s COA. Any letter of agreement with the airport management will be made available to the Admin istrator upon request.
27. The UA will not be operated less than 500 feet below, or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from, a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.
28. All operations shall be conducted in Class G airspace or as o therwise prescribed in an ATO issued COA.
29. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption will be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N

- Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings will be as large a s practicable.
30. Before conducting operations, petitioner will ensure that the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the UA complies with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate government oversight agency requ irements.
31. The UA will remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.
32. The UA will not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle.
33. Petitioner will conduct all flight operations at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless one of the following three conditions is met: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonpa rticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The petitioner will ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection an d are within 500 feet of the UA , the PIC will ensure that flight oper ations cease immediately. b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to th ose objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. c. Operations nearer to the PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a).
34. Petitioner will report any incident, accident, o r flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS

- 80) within 24 hours. Petitioner will report accidents to the National Transportation S afety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

.12

VI. Privacy There is little concern that the proposed flights will cause invasions of privacy. All flights will occur over either (a) public rights of way where there is no expectation of privacy; or (b) over private property with permission of the landowner/authorized agent and consent of participating individuals. If data collected is made available for public view, all images contain ing uninvolved persons will be blurred or blacked

- out. No attempt will be made to identify any individuals filmed during the flights except in cases where they are trespassing upon or damaging customer property, or interfering with the petitioner’s or its customers’ operations.
VII. Public Interest and Safety The planned UA use will increase ground safety for aerial photography and videography for real estate, open set TV, open set film, cell tower inspection, building inspections, windfarm inspection, and search and rescue . This type of data collection has previously been performed by manned aircraft or by individuals on the ground. Both are more time consuming and are more expensive than using UAs. Use of manned aircraft also poses enhanced risk to the pil ot and onboard crew, who would be several hundred feet in the air. The enhanced safety and reduced environmental impact achieved using UAs and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater mass, carrying crew in a ddition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UA operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of 2012

– size, weight, speed, operating capabili ties, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation within visual line of sight and national security

– provide more than adequate justification for the grant of the requested exemption allowing commerci al operation of petitioner’s UA for aerial photography and videography for real estate, open set TV, open set film, cell tower inspection, building inspections, windfarm inspection, and search and rescue pursuant to Volair rules of operation. The FAA has previously determined that using the DJI In spire 1 family and DJI Phantom 3 family for aerial photography and videography for real estate, open set TV, open set film, cell tower inspection, building inspections, windfarm inspection, and search and rescue is in the public interest

INSPIRE 1 AIRCRAFT CAMERA REMOTE GO APPADVANCED, READY-TO-FLY DESIGN

Imagine holding the future in your hands. Designed to be powerful while lightweight, flexible while providing the stability you need, the Inspire 1 is DJI’s most advanced complete package. All of the latest aerial technology is packed into one simple, ready-to-fly system, putting you in the sky within minutes.AERODYNAMIC, TRANSFORMING DESIGN

Carbon fiber arms give you the strength to maneuver in the air and they transform, moving out of the camera’s way at the flick of a switch. With a full 360 unobstructed view, you now have the freedom to capture shots independent of the direction you are flying.

ROTOR DESIGN

The all new 13 inch quick release rotors are built with the unique DJI "Z-Blade"design. They have been reinforced with new carbon fiber compound material to ensure excellent performance with increased stability.

CURVED MAGNETS

Brushless motors pioneered by DJI are now the standard in the multirotor industry. But the Inspire 1 takes the next step in brushless development by integrating curved magnets that fit flush around the edge of each motor. Although much more difficult to produce, these magnets eliminate airflow gaps within the motor, greatly increasing efficiency.

SINGLE-WIRE DESIGN

Several strands of copper wire have been replaced by a single, dense strand. Reducing the wasted space between wires results in more copper within each motor, providing more power and less resistance. A centrifugal pump increases airflow inside the neat, tight copper windings dissipating heat much faster while greatly increasing the life of the motors.NEW ESCS

The revolutionary Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC) with sinusoidal drive replaces the square wave drive of traditional ESCs redefining the whole drive system. The patented algorithm in the ESCs have been tuned and customized specifically for the Inspire 1 offering features such as closed loop torque control and distinct functional redundancy with the highest efficiency and the most reliability.

INTELLIGENT POWER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

A fully integrated intelligent battery powers your Inspire 1 and virtually manages itself.When in flight, your remaining battery power is shown live, letting you know how long you can continue to fly. Advanced algorithms calculate the distance of your aircraft and estimated time to return home, letting you know when it’s time to fly back.
The battery reports the voltage of each cell, the total lifetime charges and discharges, and the overall health and battery status. All this helps you keep your Inspire 1 in the air and flying for years to come.

POSITIONING

As it flies, the position of your Inspire 1 is constantly updated and recorded using a high-strength, intelligent GLONASS + GPS system. This dual positioning system enables higher precision and quicker satellite acquisition, allowing you to see where the aircraft is on a live map and giving it a point to hover at when you release the controls.MAIN CONTROLLER

This is the "brain" of the entire system, receiving thousands of bits of data every second and translating that data into action as you fly. The Main Controller tells every part of your Inspire 1 what to do, calculates environmental conditions in real-time, and ensures that the aircraft responds to your control commands instantly.

IMU

Automatically keeping the Inspire 1 stable and steady during flight only looks easy, as DJI’s advanced Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) handles everything. The IMU incorporates both a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer to monitor miniscule changes in tilt and movement. This allows the aircraft to compensate and adjust immediately, holding its position at all times.FAILSAFE

All of these features combine to put your Inspire 1 on autopilot when needed. If the battery runs low or connection with your remote controller is lost, the Inspire 1 uses its positioning system and smart flight technology to return back to you.HOVER IN PLACE WITHOUT GPS

You can take off and land at the press of a button and keep your Inspire 1 steady indoors or when GPS satellites can’t be acquired with the new DJI Vision Positioning System.

THE COMBINED VISUAL DATA AND SONAR WAVES

DJI built the Vision Positioning System from the ground up, customizing it to meet the rigorous requirements in place for anything that handles position holding on our flying platforms.
This system combines visual data and sonar waves in a single unit, detecting both variance in patterns on the ground and current altitude. With this information, your Inspire 1 can hover in place and automatically raise or lower its arms as you liftoff or descend to the ground.THE CPU CHIP

But the sonar and visual information is just one half of the fully integrated package: processing this information is handled by a dedicated CPU chip. This chip takes in feedback and outputs data in real-time, and is intelligent enough to distinguish between objects and ground patterns. All of this data is given to your Inspire 1’s flight controller, which in turn communicates with the entire aircraft.BUY INSPIRE 1

PHANTOM 3 PROFESSIONAL AIRCRAFT CAMERA REMOTE GO APPEASY TO FLY

Your Phantom 3 fits into your life and makes flying remarkably intuitive and easy. From takeoff to landing, it's completely under your control, responding to your

commands while automatically handling the most complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

GPS-ASSISTED HOVER

Never lose track of your Phantom 3. GPS and GLONASS combine to make the Phantom 3 completely aware of its location and relation to you. It hovers more precisely, moves more accurately, and locks onto satellites faster. With the new availability of GLONASS, a minimum of 36 satellites are available to you around the world at any time.

Through the DJI GO app, you can track its location on a live map, and record your takeoff point so you can bring it back to you with the tap of a finger.VISION POSITIONING SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

AUTOMATIC FLIGHT LOGSYour Phantom 3 automatically logs and remembers the details of every flight you take. Complete flight route, flight time, flight distance, flight location, and cached versions of any photos and videos you took during your flight are at your fingertips for future reference. At the same time, an advanced flight recorder constantly records data from all of your Phantom 3’s internal mechanisms, which can be easily shared with the DJI support team if you ever have any questions or issues.

INTELLIGENT BATTERY

Higher voltage, more energy, and greater power combine to give you a vastly improved flight experience. This upgraded Intelligent Flight Battery has built-in sensors and bright LEDs that let you know the status and remaining power of your battery in real time. Your Phantom 3 continuously calculates its current distance from you and the amount of power needed to return, so you always know how long you can continue flying and when it is time to recharge.

UNMATCHED PROPULSIONEach motor has the power and precision needed to give you the best flight experience possible. Brushless motors work with lightning-fast ESCs to make your Phantom 3 fast, agile, and responsive. These powerful motors give you the ability to speed up, quickly increase or decrease altitude, and stop immediately. DJI’s powerful air braking mechanisms stop your Phantom 3 instantly , making it hover in place as soon as you release the control sticks. Aerodynamic self-tightening propellers boost thrust and stay firmly in place no matter how you fly.

INTELLIGENT, EASY TO FLY SYSTEM

Your Phantom 3 literally helps you fly. It processes information from every sensor and completes complex calculations in real time, giving you a worry-free flight experience .

Follows Your Commands Instantly Orders Your Phantom 3 To Stop And Hover In Place When You Release The Control SticksAllows Customized Control Settings To Fit Your Preferences Enables Your Phantom 3 To Return To You Whenever Needed

MAIN CONTROLLER

Processing and analyzing flight data in real time takes serious power. The Main Controller is the control center of your Phantom 3. It collects data from the entire system, including motor speed, GPS location, your command inputs, and data from automatic sensors, and analyzes it all to tell your Phantom 3 exactly how to behave at any given moment.

# IMU

INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT Keeping your Phantom 3 stable and flying the way you want it to is the Inertial Measurement Unit. Inside is a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer that records and relays even the smallest changes in tilt and movement. It is constantly at work, detecting the slightest changes and compensating for them automatically.



# ESCs

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROLLERS Motor speed is critical to flight, and each motor is managed individually by the Electronic Speed Controllers. ESCs not only relay vital motor speed information to the Main Controller, they also send commands back to the motors based on your input. This constant communication keeps your Phantom stable in flight, and also helps you achieve any flight movement, from gentle pans to rapid acceleration.

RETURN TO HOME

Bringing your Phantom 3 back to you is as simple as pressing a button on the remote or within the Pilot app. Your system automatically remembers* the point at which it took off, and returns and lands safely at this point when you command it to Return to Home.*When a sufficient GPS connection is available. 
