Petition	for	Section	333	Exemption

I	hereby	formally	request	FAA	authorization	for	HTML	Marketing (hereafter	“PETITIONER”)	to	

operate	a	UAS	for	civil	(non-governmental)	purposes	other	than	for	recreation	or	hobby.

PETITIONER	requests	to	be	exempted	from	14	CFR	§§	61.23(a)	and	(c),	61.101(e)(4)	and	(5),	

61.113(a),	61.315(a),	91.7(a),	91.119(c),	91.121,	91.151(a)(1),	91.405(a),	91.407(a)(1),	

91.409(a)(1)	and	(2),	and	91.417(a)	and	(b),	to	the	extent	necessary	to	allow	PETITIONER	to	

operate	a	UAS	to	perform	aerial	data	collection,	including	but	not	limited	to	aerial	imaging.		

PETITIONER	requests	this	exemption	for	its	use	of	UAS	both	within	and	without	the	United	States.		

PETITIONER	frequently	travels	abroad	for	photographic	endeavors	and	seeks	to	use	UAS	in	

accordance	with	all	laws	of	foreign	and	domestic	governmental	authorities.

PETITIONER	requests	this	permission	to	pursue	its	use	of	UAS	models	including	DJI	Phantom	1,	DJI	

Phantom	2,	DJI	Phantom	3,	DJI	Inspire,	3D	Robotics	IRIS+,	3D	Robotics	Solo,	3D	Robotics	X8+,	and	

3D	Robotics	X8- M,	or	other	similar	commercially-available	and	widely-available	UAS	models.

PETITIONER	will	conduct	its	use	of	UAS	in	a	manner	which	will	minimize	risk	to	the	NAS,	other	

persons,	and	property.		The	following	procedures	will	be	followed:	(1)	UAS	will	be	given	a	pre-flight	

inspection	before	each	flight	to	examine	air-worthiness,	(2)	UAS	will	not	be	materially	altered	from	

commercial	specifications	except	for	battery,	prop,	and	battery	alterations,	(3)	UAS	will	not	be	

flown	over	people,	(4)	UAS	will	always	be	flown	within	line	of	sight	to	operator(s)	pursuant	to	

Section	333(b)(1),	(5)	UAS	will	never	reach	altitudes	over	exceeding	those	allowed,	(6)	UAS	will	

never	reach	speeds	exceeding	50	mph,	(7)	operator	will	perform	a	pre-flight	visual	inspection	of	the	

NAS	to	determine	nearby	dangers	such	as	low-flying	manned	or	unmanned aerial	vehicles,	power	

lines,	and	buildings,	(8)	UAS	will	be	checked	for	flight	stability,	proper	connection	to	remote	

control,	and	proper	performance	at	a	very	low	altitude	before	reaching	the	NAS,	and	(9)	nonparticipating	spectators	will	be	asked	to	stay	a	safe	distance	away	from	the	flight	path	of	the	UAS	

and	its	landing	location.		PETITIONER	is	an	experienced	UAS	operator	with	more	than	one	year	of	

experience.

This	petition	will	benefit	the	public	interest.	PETITIONER	will	provide	imagery	which	is	not	

otherwise	possible	to	be	captured	without	the	use	of	a	UAV,	which	will	assist	companies	to	which	

the	images	may	be	sold,	will	enhance	the	public	understanding	of	nature	photographed	by	the	UAS,	
and	PETITIONER	will	be	able	to	provide	UAS	safety	information	to	those	with	whom	he	or	she	

comes	in	contact. Also,	PETITIONER	will	work	closely	with John	McLaughlin, FAA	Designated	Pilot	

Examiner and	Chief	Meteorologist	at	KCCI	Channel	8 Des	Moines,	to	conduct	severe	storm	damage	

surveys	which	will	assist	the	National	Weather	Service	in	determining	the	severity	of	a	storm.

Please	grant	the	requested	exemption	under	Section	333.
