14C.F.R. Part 21, 

### Subpart i-t: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. § 91.203 (a) (1) Subpart H, 

### entitled Airworthiness 

### Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements fot

### the issuance 

### ofAirworthiness certificates as required 

### by FAR 

### §91.203 (a) (1). Given 

## the size and 

### limited operating area associated with the aircraft

### to be utilized bythe Applicant, an exemption from Part 

### 21 Subpart H meets the requirements ofan equivalent level ofsafety under Part 11 and section 

### 333 ofthe Reform Act. ihe Federal 

### Aviation Act (49 U.S.C§44701 

### {f)) and Section 333 ofthe Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement

### for an airworthiness certificatQ, 

### upon considera.tton ofthe 

### size, weight, speedJ operational capability, and proximity

### to airports and 

### populated areas of

### the particular sUASs. In 

### all cases, 

### an analysis ofthese 

### criteria demonstrates thatthe sUASs 

### operated without an 

### airworthiness certificate, in the restricted 

### environment and underthe conditions proposed will be 

### at least safe, or safer, 

### that a 

### conventional aircraft (fixed

### wing or 

### rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate 

### withoutthe restrictions and conditions proposed. 

### The sUASs to be 

### operated hereunder Is 

### less than 55 lbs. fully 

### loaded, carries neithera pilot 

### nor passenger, 

### carries 

### no explosive 

### material 

### orflammable liquid fuels, 

### and operates 

### exdus1velywithin a 

### secured and designated area. 

### Unlike other

### civil aircraft, operations 

### under this

### exemption will be

### tightly controlled**~md** 

### monitored 

### by both the operator

### and under the 

### requirements and 

### in compliance 

### with local public safety 

### requirements. The FAA will have advanced notice ofall 

### operations. These 

### safety enhancements provide agreater degree ofsafetytothe public and property owners than conventional operations conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C,F.R. Part 21 1 

### Subpart H. 

### Lastly, application ofthese same 

### criteria demonstrates thatthere 

### Is no credible threat to national security posed bythe sUASS1 

### due to its size, speed 

### ofoperation, location ofoperation, lack ofexplosive materials 

### orflammable liquid fuels, and Inability

### to carry asubstantial external load.
14C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). MarkingofthaAlrc:raft 

### The regulation requires: When marks include only the Roman capitol letter 

### "N" and the registration 

### number is displayed on limited, 

### restricted or 

### light-sport category aircraft or experimental ot provisionally certificated aircraft, 

### the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 11 

### Inches high, the words "limited/' "restricted," "light· sport,'1 11

### experimenta1,'1 or Provisional,'' 

### as applicable.
Even 

### though the sUASs will have 

### no airworthiness certificate, 

### an exemption may be needed as the sUASs will 

### have no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" 

### will be placed 011 thefuselae;e In eomplianee with §45.29 (f). 

### The equivalent level ofsafetywill be provided 

### by having the sUASs 

### marked oh 

### Its fuselage as required 

### by §45.29 (f) where

### the pilot, observer and others working with the 

### sUASs will see the identification ofthe sUASs as ''Experimental." The FAA has issuad

### properties through data collection by photographic, video graphi<::, or LIDAR based surveying. By movingthese subjects onto sUASs based aircraft} the potential for loss oflife or property is diminished due to the greater control in asmaller and safer aircraftthat holds no pilot, crew, or passengers. Second, there are no reactive or

### combustible materials on board the sUASs and thus the potential for fire or explosion is greatly diminished. Third, the small size and extreme maneuverabtllty ofthe applicant's sUASs allow the PJC to avoid hazards. Lastly due to the nature ofthe remote sensing instrumentation onboard, the sUASs can maintain quite asafe distance between the aircraft

### and characteristics ofthe sUASs.

## *
The Applicant's UASs 

### utilizes four (4) counter-rotating propellers paired oppositely to each 

### other for balance, 

### control and stability. 

### The total 

### span ofthe sUASs 

### Is:;,: 590mm including propellers, 

### allowing for 

### stable flight

### or landingeven 

### with the sudden onset 

### ofdetrimental environmental conditions. The

### of 

### 1.3 Kg_ ihe applicant's sUASs 

### is designed**t~W>** 

### hQver in 

### place to

### capture photographic data and then

### operate atless 

### than 50 

### knot maximum 

### speed to

### the next point of Interest. 

### They are capable 

### ofvertical and horizontal operations hut. in 

### practice, is operated 

### only within unaided VLOS ofthe PIC. In 

### addition to the PIC; 

### the 

### Applicant employs aspotter (VOS 

### role) and a 

### technician 

### (secondary VOS

### and**on~site** personnel liaison) 

### which 

### are within

### verbal communication 

### range. These personnel are 

### supplemented bysafety 

### officials provided bythe clientwho are instructed to cordon offand 

### otherwise minimize pedestrian access in 

### the flight zone ofthe dient;s grounds. 

### In the 

### event ofloss of

### visual ofthe UAS1

### the PIC 

### can change 

### the flight controls 

### from Cartesian 

### (X,Y,Z.) 

### based controls

### to radial (r,a,h) 

### based control$ which allows the PICto utilize one controller axis to 

### recall the 

### UAS to the 

### PIC's position without concern 

### tothe current heading

### ofthe sUASs. The 

### sUASs also 

### have a**Return-to~Home** 

### feature

### that will 

### allow the UAS to return to

### the PIC's location in the

### case ofthe UAS losing signal to the PIC, or Ifthe PIC 

### initiatesthe**Return-to~Home** 

### procedure. In the event of loss of

### sight ofthesUASs Into**;:~n** 

### area containing hazards or possible 

### hazards, the spotter

### has a 

### heads-up-display containing a 

### live video feed which can**b~** used to locatethe UAS while it maintains its position

### maintain its position 

### by GPS, SONAR, and 

### Optkalflow camera with 

### an accuracy**of+/~** 10cm

### vertical**and+/~** 1m horizontal. 

### All ofthe applicant's sUASs 

### utilize liPo 

### (lithium polymer) battery based power 

### sources, decreasing safety risks from 

### more 

### easily combustible, fuel based, 

### powersources. Flighttimes generally 

### last between 

### eight (8) to ten {10} minutes allowing the 

### staff toworkwith small areas per phase. 

### The maximum flight

### time without payload is approximately 25 minutes; 

### however practical safe operation limits

### this to 15 minutes 

### to give ample time to 

### control the sUASs to a:!iafe lahding wne. 'fhe applicantfurther

### AdverselyAffect Safety

### Standards The Applicant contends that operation 

### of its sUASs 

### will not·"create

### stated 

## rn 112 P.l. 95 § 333(b). Giventhe diminutive size andweight of the sUASs, combined with

### areas. The applicant's sUASs falls within congress's contemplated safety 11:one. The applicant's sUASs have an established 

### safety record bolstered by multi-point 

### preflight checklists, awareness oftheir

### surroundings and intimate 

### knowledge and behavior of

### the sUASs platform In 

### many weather 

### conditions. This safety 

### record and implemented operational practices

# Fly Safe

DJI encourages you to**~mjoy** flying your Phantom 3 Professional in asafe, responsible, and amart way. To clo tills, It Is Important to understand some basic flight guidelines, both foryour protection and forthe safety Oftl1oae around you. 1. Fly in OpanAreas: Always fly In locationsthat are free and clear ofbuildings, trees, power lines, and otherobstacles. Do notflY above

or near people oranimals. 2. Maintain Control at All Times: Even when using DJI autopilotfunctions such as Auto-Takeoff, Auto-L9.nding, and Auto-Return to Home, alway$ k*Pyour handaon the Remote Controller anel maintain control ofyour 9lrcraft when it is in ffight. 3. Maintain**Un~** Qf Sight: Kl;lSpyour aircraft in 8ightatell times, and avoidtly1ng behind buildings orother obstacles that ma'y blockyourv1e'v\l, 4. MonitorYourAltitude: Forthe safety offull-si<:ed alroraft and other airtraffic, always fly at altitudes less than 400 feet (i 20 meters)

above ground Javel, or In line with your local laws and regulatione.**Via~** http://flysa.fe.dji.com/no-fly for more Information on**cr~lcal** safety features such as No-RyZones. 

### • Calibrating the Compass: Me.ke sure to calibrate the compass at every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic Interference, which**~n** cause abnormal compass data, leading to poor illght performance or even fallure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance. 1. DO NOTcalibrate yourcompass wherethere Is achance ofstrong magnetic in1erference, such as magnettte, parking structures, and

steel reinforcements underground. 2. DO NOTcarryferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as Keys or cellular phones. 

### a. DO NOT calibre!;$ be$ide maeeive metal objects. 4. If the Aircraft Status Indicators are showing soUd red, than try to calibrate again. If they are blinking red and yellow alternately after

placing tM aircraft on tha ground, the compass has detected m9gnetlc Interference. Changeyour location. • Environmental Considerations: 1. Do not ffy in severe**we~ther condition~.**  Thi::; indud$$ high wind::; (:speeds of 22 mph or 10 m/:s or more), snow, rain, and fog. 2. Onlyfly In opan areaa. Tall buildings and steal structures may affect the accuracyofthe on-board compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid ob-stacles, crowds, high, voltage power lines, treee, $lid bodl$$ ofwater. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, Including mobile phone baae stations,

radio transmission towers. orWI-Fi hotspots. 5. Aircraft and battery performance are subjectto**enviror~mental** factors such as air density and temperature. Be vefY carefulwhen

flying 19,600 feet (6 km) or more above sea level, as battety and aircraft performance may not be at peak**effici~ancy.** 6. Tha Phantom 3 Professional cannot operata In PMode or use GPS at polar latitudes. Only A Til Mode and the VIsion Positioning Byatem will be operational.
• P Mode: Inthle mode, the Phantom 3 Professional can use GPS and the VIsion Positioning system, allowing tt to hoveraccurately In position Indoors and out:. 'Mlen GPS Is available, a Home Point will b8 locked so that the Phantom 3 Profeoolone.l can Retum to Home if the Remota Controller signal is lost.

# ~ To enable PMode, toggle the Flight Mode Swttch



# CJ tothe P position.
There are three states In P mode: P..GPS: GPSworks bestwhen outdoorsand in awideopen**:!~rea.** Your Phantom 3 PrOfessional uses GPS to hover in place when 1here la a strong GPS J<!ignal. P·OPTI: IfGPS Is notavallable, the aircraftcan usetheVIsion Poamoning system to hoveraccurately. P-ATTI: Neither GPS nor the Vl$1on Positioning syst$m**~** available. The aircraft will only use its barometer for altitude and other on,board $8Jlsors for attitude stabilization. Note tllat me Vl&lon Poeftlonlng :sy:stl!)m may not work; propemy wnen the Phantorn 3 Professional Is nying over water, oversurfaces without a clear pattern, or In a low-light environment.

P-OPT!; Vision Positioning is available but the GPS sighal strength is not**~ufficient.** The aircraft is using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning.**P~ATTI:** Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude); GPS and Vision Positioning System are not ussd for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer. 

### The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point 

### if the 

### control signal is lost and the Home Point was recorded successfully. F·mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For rnore information about IOC, refer to the lOC section in the Appe11dix.

### and fly indoors or in other environments where a 

### GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of yol.lr Phantom 3 Professional; they include two ultrasonic sensors and one monocular camera.Phantom 3 ProfessionAl User**Menu~**I 

### Using VIsion Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No

### Using the sensors 

### that are 

### built into the 

### Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely 

### even without GPS.

Follow 

### the steps below

### IMPORT ANT: Always to 

### calibrate the compass in 

### avery newflight location, 

### The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic Interference, which can produce abnormal compass data and lead to poor flight performance orflight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimal performance,



# 0 •Do not calibrate 

### your compass 

### where there Is any 

### possibility of 

### strong magnetic interference. Sources of potential interference include magnetite, parking structures, and subterranean 1:! 

### metal structures CQ :::r • Do 

### not carry ferromagnetic materials with you during caJibration such as keys or cellular phones

.



### .. Do not 

### calibrate in direct proximity 

### to large metal objects. • DO NOTcalibrate indoors.


### Calibration Procedures 

### Choose an open 

### area

### to carry outthe following procedures. 1. 

### Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of yoUr pre-flight preparations, or 

### if you have 

### moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap "Mode'' in the app and select 

### ''Compass Calibration'', then followthe on-screen instructions. 2. Hold the aircraft horizontally and rotate 360 degrees. Tha Aircraft Status Indicators will display a solid 

### green light.Phantom 3 Profe-5sional**U~;li!r** Manual


### 3. Hold the aircraft vertically, with nose pointing downward, 

### and rotate it 

### 360 degrees around th@ csnter axis. Recalibrate 

### the compass 

### iftheAircraft Status Indicator glows solid red.



### If the Aircraft Status 

### Indicator blinks red and yellow after 

### the calibration procedure, rnove your 

### aircraftto adifferent location and try again.

### -~· 

## .. 

# . . Calibrate the compass before each 

### fright. Launch 

### DJI Pilot 

### app and follow the on-screen 

### instructions to calibrate the compass.


### When 

### to Recalibrate 1.When compass data is abnormal 

### and the Aircraft Status 

### Indicator is blinking green and yellow. 2.When flying in a new location or in a location that is 

### differentfrom the most recent flight. 3.When the mechanical or physical structure

Toavoid &erlous Injuryand properly damage, observethefollowing rule: 1) Do NOT switch from P mode to either A mode or F mode unless you are sufficiently familiar with the aircraft's behaviortot each flight mode, slnca dlsttbllng GPS rnay resuH In baing unableto land 

### thaaircraft

### safely.

P mode Is 

### preferred tor 

### most flying scenarios. Users can switch to A mode where and when P mode is unavailable. Be aware that some features are NOT available for A mode, and therefore be EXTRA cautious when flying in Amodei) P mode {Positioning): P mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of

### Pmode, which will be automatically $elected bythe Phantom 3 depending on GPS signal strength and VIsion Positioning sensors: a} P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning are both available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. b) P-OPTI: If GPS is NOT available. the aircraftwill use the Vision Posit!oning System to hover accurately, Note that the Vision Positioning System may NOT work properly when the Phantom 3 is flying over water, over surfacea without 

### a. clear pattern, or in a low lightenvironment. c) P-ATTI: When neither GPS nor Vision Positioning ls available, the aircraft is using only its barometerfor positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 2) A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System are 

### NOr used for positioning. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically return home ifthe Remote Controller signal is lostand 

### ifthe Home Point has been recorded successfully. 3) F rnoda (Function}; Intelligent Orientation Control (ICC) Is activated in this mode. Ensure you are familiar with 100functions before use. Ifyou intend 

### to switch to modes that disable GPS as1:listance (e.g., A mode), you are required to accept the prompted disclaimer to enable this ftmctlon. If this function is enabled, you further understand and agree that data including but not limited to flight telemetry data and function records could be uploaded to and maintained on aOJI designated server.



## Failsafe·and Return to Home 

## ( NOTICg] 1) The Return to Hamsfeature will NOTwork Ifthe GPS signal is insufficient or if GPS is notactive. 2) Press the RTH (Return 

### to Home) Button on the remote controller to bring the aircraft back to the Home Point instead ofturning off the remote controller. 3) Tall buildings may adversely affect the Failsafe function. Please adjust the aircre:ft location, altitude and speed while returning home to avoid obstacles. 4)**Mak~** sure to always 

### fly the aircraftwithin thetransmission range 

### ofthe remote controller. 5) When updating the Home Point, do NOTblockthe GPS signal of the remote controller and ensurethe newHome Point is correcton the live map. 

### 6) Only use the Failsafe 

### and Return to Home

### functions in 

### case of emergency, 

### as they may 

### be affected 

### by the weather, the environment or any nearby magneticfields. 7) The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH; therefore it is important to set an appropriate J=ailsafe altitude before each flight. 8) When flying indoors, the aircraft cannot perform precision hovering when flying above the surfaces that do not 

### have aclear 

### pauern. Referto 

### the ''VIsion Positioning 

### System" section 

### for complete Indoor

### flying criteria.


## Low Battery 

## ( NOTICE ] 1) When the Critical Battery Level Warning activates and the aircraft is descending automatically, you may push the throttle up to maintain the**~;~iroraft's** altitude and navigate it to a more appropriate location for landing. 2) When battery warnings are triggered. promptly bring the aircraft back 

### to the Home Point or land to avoid losing powE!r du(ing flight and causing damage 1o the aircraft, property, animals, 

### and people.


## Vision.Positioning System 

## ( NOTICI{.) 1) 

### The Vision Positioning System cannot 

### work properly over surte.ces that do 

### NOT have pattern variations. Tha affective altitude for the Vision Positioning System 

### to function 

### correctly is less than 2.5 meters above ground level (AGL). 2) TheVision Positioning System may NOT function properlywhen the aircraft is flying overwater. 3) Ke$p your pets away from the aircraft when the VIsion Positioning System is activated, as the sonar sensors emit a high frequency sound that is only audible to some pets. 4) Note thatthe Vision Positioning System may NOTfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying too faSt ortoo 

### low. 5) Operate the aircraft cautiouslywhen 

### in anyof the following situations: a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g., pure black, purewhite, pure red, pure**gr~en).** b) Flying over highly reflective surfaces; c) Flying at high speeds (over 8m/s at 2 meters or**ov~r**4rn/s at i rneter); d) Flying over wateror transparent surfaces; e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects: f) Flying in an areawhere the lighting changesfrequently or drastically; g) Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces; h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g., thickcarpet). i ) Flying oversurfaces without clear patterns or texture; j) Flying over Sl.lrfaces wlth identical repeating patterns ortextures (e.g, tiles with same design); k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect

### sound waves awayfrom tht; airoraft 6) In the event or loss ofthe remote controller's signal, the aircraftwill hovertor8seconds and then awto-land if it is in ··p•• mode.
