Request for Amendment s to FAA Section 333 sUAS Exemption Exemption # 11397 Federal Docket ID: FAA

- 2015

- 0144 Date: December 17, 2015

Dear Administrator,

Colorado Cartographics LLC is seekin g two ( 2 ) amendment s to our existing Section 333 Exemption, for the purposes of furthering our s UAS research capacity beyond the scope of t he rules set forth by our current exemption

.

Amendment #

1: Additional Fleet Aircraft.

Colorado Cartographics LLC requests to add one (1) aircraft to its current fleet. The specifications are listed below:

Unit 1 : “ Cortex ” Specificatio ns, Payload, Electronic Systems

 Frame Layout: X

- 8 Quadrotor

 Manufacturer: CarbonCore Multirotors (United Kingdom)

 Dimensions: 800mm hub

- to

- hub , 400mm height.

 MTOW with maximum Payload: 24lbs

 Electronic Systems: Pixhawk Flight Controller, GPS, Compass, 3DR Telemetry Optical Flow
, Mission

- Plann er Automation, DSM2 Transmitter (Spektrum Dx7s)

 Battery Systems: Lithium

- Polymer 6S, 20,000mAh (x2)

 Serial Number: 0225 The Cortex is a commercially available s UAS , designed and manufacture d in the United Kingdom. The primary purpose of the Cortex for our organization is to test remote sensing instrumentation . Its onboard flight controller and telemetry systems allow the unit to safe ly return to the flight takeoff position in the event of a fail

- safe initiation. Additionally, the X

- 8 configuration promotes safer flight due its level of redundancy.Amendment # 2 : Additional Fleet Aircraft.

Colorado Cartographics LLC requests to add one (1) aircraft to its current fleet. The specifications are listed below:

U nit 2: “ AgroAviator ” Specifications, Payload, Electronic Systems

 Frame Layout: D elta

- Swept , Single

- Engine (Electric) , Fixed

- Wing Aircraft

 Manufacturer: Custom

- Designed and Built In

- House

 Dimensi ons: Wingspan: 1650mm, Length: 5 00mm , Height: 14 0mm

 MTOW with Payload: 18 lbs

 Ele ctronic Systems: Pixhawk Flight Controller, GPS, Compass, 3DR Telemetry, Mission

- Planner Automation, PPM

- Radio (Taranis FR

- Sky)

 Ba ttery Systems: Lithium

- Polymer 4 S 5000 mAh

 S erial Number: 001

Our in

- house designed and built Agr oAviator is a fixed

- wing aircraft that we have developed for increased flight times and efficiency for agronomic intelligence applications. The use of this platform equipped w ith multi spectral imaging sensors, thermal imaging capabilities, and infrared cameras will allow us to monitor agricultural growt h conditions and soil profiles during one single flight. The immediate benefit derived from thi s aircraft is identification of agronomic issues communicated to farmers, so that issues may be addressed early. T he long

- term effects of using sUAS for precision agricultural applications are increased overall far m efficiency, and ultimate cost savings that benefits the economy.

To the Director and Administration of the Federal Aviation Administration, I hereby submit this Amendment Request, dated December 17, 2015
