Mr. William D. Janicki Mr. William V. O’Connor Morrison & Foerster LLP Counsel for SunPower Corp

. 12531 High Bluff Drive San Diego, CA 92130 Dear Messrs. Janicki and O’Connor: This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. By letter dated May 6, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf ofSunPower Corp. (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an exemption. The petitionerrequested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial data collection

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing the proposed operations and theregulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. Airworthiness Certification The UAS proposed by the petitioner are the SenseFly eBee and DJI Phantom 2

. The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria

# 2

provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

−95 in reference to 49 U

.S

.C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary. The Basis for Our Decision You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection1



# . The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA

−2014

−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213;  The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and
 A grant of exemption is in the public interest. Our Decision In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore,pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, SunPower Corp. is granted an exemption 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 the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

1 

## Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard the UA. Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.), electronic measurement (precision surveying, RF analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (particulate measurement, etc.), or any other gathering of data by instruments aboard the UA.

# 3

Conditions and Limitations In this grant of exemption, SunPower Corp. is hereafter referred to as the operator. Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption. 1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the SenseFly eBee and DJI Phantom 2 when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption

. 2. Operations for the purpose of closed

-set motion picture and television filming are notpermitted. 3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer. 4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL. 5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver’s license. 6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times; electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO. 7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this grant of exemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents,

# 4

the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption

. Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. 10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre

-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre

-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight. 11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. 12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer safetybulletins. 13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.

14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operatedunder this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experience

-building) and determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119. 15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA

-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 17. The UA may 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. 18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA must return to a pre-determined location within the private or controlled

-access property. 19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater. 21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO

-issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA

.

22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must 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 must be as large as practicable. 23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating persons under this exemption. 27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled

-access property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 28. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) within 24 hours.

# IV. DESCRIPTION OFPROPOSED OPERATIONS SunPower is requesting exemptions from applicable Federal Aviation Regulations (PARs) pursuantto Section 333 ofthe Reform Actto perform aerial imagery and data collection for solarconstruction sites, potential solar construction sites, and utility plants under construction. Examples ofsolar sites that are representative ofthe type ofsites that SunPowerwould conductUAS operations are shown in Figures 1and 2 below. Thistype ofaerial imagery and data collection is currently performed for SunPowerby helicopter orfixed wing aircraft. Use ofa UAS will reduce safety risks because the UAS will not carry flammable fuel or a pilot, and UAS operations can be performed at considerable savings. The UAS will also allow for better imagery offacilities than can be produced by using a helicopter or fixed wing aircraft. The UAS operations in this petition are similar in all material respects to reliefpreviously granted bythe FAA in Grant ofExceptionNos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213. The reasons statedby the FAA in granting the exemptions listed above also apply to this petition, andthe grant ofthis petition is in the public interest.

A. Aircraftto be Operated 1. 

# The SenseFly eBee SunPowerwill operate the SenseFly eBee for aerial imaging and data collection operations. The FAA has already approved the eBee for commercial use in FAA ExemptionNo. 11257 (FAA DocketNo. FAA-2014-0889) and FAA ExemptionNo. 11374 (FAA DocketNo. 2015-0091). The eBee is abattery powered fixed wing UAS made offlexible foam with a maximum weight ofless than two pounds. Flighttime is approximately 50 minutes. The eBee is shown in Figure 3below.

Figure 3- SenseFly eBee
The eBee is more fully described in the SenseFly eBee ExtendedUser Manual. 2. DJIPhantom 2 SunPower will also operate the DJI Phantom 2 for aerial imaging and data collection operations. The FAAhas already approvedthe Phantom 2 for commercial use in FAA Exemption No. 11396 (FAA DocketNo. FAA-2015-0163) and FAA ExemptionNo. 11420 (FAA DocketNo. 2015-0178).

# B. SunPower's Proposed Operations Demonstrate an Equivalent Level ofSafety 1. 

# General Description ofProposed Flight Operations SunPowerproposes to operate withinthe limitations andperformance specifications listed in the eBee and Phantom 2 Manuals. These limitations provide for at least an equivalent, or higher, level ofsafety for operations underthe currentregulatory structure becausethe proposed operations are saferthan conventional operations using helicopters orfixed wing aircraftwhich carry an operator and flammable fuel. The proposed flight operations are similar in all material respects to operations already approved bythe FAA and are therefore subjectto the FAA's "summary grant" process. The proposed operations do notcreate any hazardto users ofthe national airspace system or pose a threatto national security. The aircraft are battery operated with a maximum flight time ofless than 50 minutes. The vehicles weigh less than 10 pounds. The vehicles will be operated at orbelow 400 feet AGL within the visual line ofsight ofthe pilot in command. SunPower's operations will be overprivate or controlled access property withthe permission ofthe owner/controller or authorized agent.

Manned aircraft are at risk offuel spillage and fire in the event ofan incident or accident. The proposed UAS carry no fuel, and therefore the risk offire following an incident or accident due to fuel spillage is eliminated. Compared to manned aircraft, the UAS being operated by the petitionerreduces the riskto participatingpersons in close proximity to the aircraft due to the limited size, weight, operating conditions, and design safety features. The FAA has determined thatthe risk ofnot having an electronic means to monitor and communicate with other aircraft, such as transponders or sense and avoidtechnology, is mitigated by placing limits on altitude, requiring stand-offdistance from clouds, permitting daytime operations only, and requiringthatthe aircraft be operatedwithinvisual line ofsight and yield right ofway to all othermanned operations. The petitioner's aircrafthave the capabilityto operate safely after experiencing certain inflight failures, as specified in the Manuals. The aircraft are also able to respond to a lost-link eventwith a pre-coordinated, predictable, automated flight maneuver. 2. Specific Limitations on Proposed Flight Operations 

# Giventhe small size involved, the restricted environmentwithin which they will operate, the procedures listed below, andpilotcertificationrequirements, SunPower's proposed operations using the eBee and the Phantom 2 would "notcreate ahazard to users ofthe national airspace system orthe public orpose athreatto national security." Reform Act Section 333(b)(1). 

# 1. The aircraft weigh less than 10 pounds. 2. 

# Each aircraft will be identified by serial number, registered with the FAA, and have identification (N-Number) markings as large as practicable. 3. Flights will be operated within visual line ofsight ofthe pilot in command (PIC). 4. Priorto each flight, a zero altitude initiation point will be established and confirmed for accuracy by PIC. 5. The PIC will ensure thatbefore eachflight, there is enough available power for the UAS to conductthe intended operation and to operate afterthat for at leastfive minutes or with the reserve powerrecommended by the manufacturer ifgreater. 6. The aircraft will be operated during daylight and in VFRconditions. 7. Flights will not exceed400 feet AGL.

# § 91.203(a)(1) The FAAhas stated that no exemption is needed from this section ifa finding is made under the Reform Actthatthe UAS selectedprovides an equivalentlevel ofsafety when compared to aircraft normally used forthe same application. These criteria are metwith this petition, and therefore no exemption is needed. See 

# Grant ofExemptionNo. 11062, DocketNo. FAA 2014-0352 at 13-14, 22. If, however, the FAA determines thatthere are some characteristics ofthe eBee orthe Phantom 2 thatfail to meetthe requirements ofthe ReformAct, an exemption is requested. 

# EquivalentLevelof Safety: The eBee and Phantom 2 are safe whentaking into accounttheir size, weight, speed, and operational capability. They weigh less than 10 pounds and will be flown at speeds less than 100 miles perhour, and in visual line ofsight ofthe operator. The UASs do not carry pilots, passengers, explosive materials, orflammable liquid fuels. The UASs will be operatedwithin the parameters oftheirrespective Manuals. The proposed operations will be at least as safe as, or saferthan, conventional rotorcraft or fixed wing aircraft operating with an airworthiness certificate withoutthe restrictions and conditions proposed here. 

# B. 14 C.F.R. Part27 Airworthiness Standards: Normal Category Rotorcraft 14 C.F.R. Part 27 sets forth the procedural requirements for airworthiness certification of normal category rotorcraft. To the extentthe eBee orPhantom 2 would otherwise require certification under Part 27, SunPower seeks an exemption from Part27's airworthiness

# §§ 45.23(b), 45.27(a) and 91.9(c): AircraftMarking and Identification Requirements 14 C.P.R. §45.23(b), Markings ofthe Aircraft states: When marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft orexperimental or provisionally certificated aircraft, the operatormust also display on that aircraftnear each entranceto the cabin, cockpit, orpilot station, in letters notless than 2 inches normore than 6 inches high, the words "limited," "restricted," "light-sport, "experimental," or "provisional," as applicable. 14 C.P.R.§ 45.27(a) states: Rotorcraft. Each operator ofa rotorcraft must display on thatrotorcraft horizontally onboth surfaces ofthe cabin, fuselage, boom, ortail the marks required by §45.23. 14 C.P.R.§ 91.9(c) states: No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft unless that aircraft is identified in accordance with part45 ofthis chapter. In a previous Grant ofExemption, the FAA determined that exemption from these requirements was warranted providedthatthe aircraft "have identification (N-Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFRpart45, SubpartC ifthe markings are "as large as practicable." See

# § 61.113: PrivatePilotPrivileges andLimitations SunPower seeks exemption from 14 CFR § 61.113, which restricts privatepilots from flying aircraft for compensation orhire and would also require a second class medical certificate. Thepurpose ofPart 61 is to ensurethatthe skill and competency ofany PIC matches the airspace in whichthe PIC will be operating, as well as requiring certifications ifthe pilot is carryingpassengers orcargo for hire. While the UAS will be operated as partofa commercial operation, they carry neither passengers nor cargo. In the Grant ofExemption in FAA DocketNo. FAA-2014-0352, the FAA determined thatthe unique characteristics ofUAS operation outside ofcontrolled 10

# U.S. Department ofTransportation Page Eleven airspace did not warrantthe additional cost and restrictions attendant with requiring the PIC to have a commercial pilot certificate and a class II medical certificate. The FAA has also determined thatthe required knowledge for a commercial pilot covers the same fundamental principles as aprivate pilot. The FAAhas also granted exemptions allowing operations by people who hold an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sportpilot certificate with a currentFAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license issued by a state orthe Federal Government. The PIC must also meetthe flight reviewrequirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56. See FAA ExemptionNo. 11374. SunPowerwill ensurethe PIC will meetthe requirements listed in the above paragraph. SunPowerwill also ensure the PIC will have completedthe manufacturers' training guidelines outlined in the Manuals. The FAA stated in its grant ofan exception to Astraeus Aerial the "the FAA considers the overriding safety factor for the limited operationsproposedby the petitionerto be the airmanship skills acquiredthrough VAS-specific flight cycles, flight time, and specific make and model experience, culminating in verification through testing." See Exemption No. 11062, DocketNo. FAA 2014-0352, atp. 18. The proposed operations can achieve an equivalent level ofsafety by requiring the knowledge and experience in eBee and Phantom 2 operations described above. The restrictions SunPowerhas placed on its UAS operations meet or exceedthe restrictions similarly imposed on Astraeus Aerial in FAA DocketNo. FAA-2014-0352 and those listed in the FAA's "summary grant" process. E. 14C.F.R. §91.7(a): CivilAircraftAirworthiness 

# SunPower seeks an exemption from 14 C.P.R.§ 91.7(a), which requires thata civil aircraft be in airworthy condition to be operated.

# H. 14 C.F.R. §91.109(a): FlightInstruction SunPower seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.109(a), whichprovides that "[n]o person may operate a civil aircraft (except a mannedfree balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircrafthas fully functioning dual controls." UASs and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design, do not have functional dual controls. Instead, flight control is accomplishedthroughthe use ofthe Ground Control Station (GCS) that communicates with the aircraft viaradio communications. 

# EquivalentLevelof Safety: When flight instruction is performed, no pilots will be onboard the aircraft andthe GCS will be a safe distance from the aircraft and the public, causing no safety hazard. Given the size and speed ofthe UAS, an equivalent level ofsafe training can still be achieved without dual controls because no pilotorpassengers are aboardthe aircraft, and all persons will be a safe distance away in the eventthatthe aircraft experiences any difficulties during flight instruction. In addition, SunPowerwill conduct flight training ata remote facility away from population centers. These training flights will comply withthe provisions in the Manuals. Accordingly, SunPower'sproposedmethod ofoperationprovides superior levels ofsafety. I. 

# 14C.F.R. §91.119(c): Minimum SafeAltitudes in Uncongested Areas SunPowerrequests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c). Section 91.119(c) prescribes that an aircraft may notbe operated closerthan 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. The Manuals provide for SunPower operations at least 500 feet from persons and structures not involved in the operations. The FAAhas already determinedthatrelieffrom Section 91.119(c) is warranted for UAS operations in uncongested areas with similarflight restrictions as those imposedby SunPower. 

# See GrantofExemptionNo. 11062, p. 20-21. 

# EquivalentLevelof Safety: Comparedto flight operations with rotorcraft orfixed wing aircraftweighing far more thanthe maximum weights proposedherein, and given the lack of flammable fuel, any riskassociated withthese operations is far less than those thatpresently existwith conventional aircraft. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed ofthe UAS, as well as the locations where it is operated. In orderto avoid any riskto aircraft, flight operations will berestricted to 400 feet AGL orbelow. Other aircraft are alreadyprohibitedfrom operating closerthan 500 from structures where SunPowerproses to operate. This is airspace where other aircraft do not normally operate. As set forth in the Manuals and herein, the UAS will be operated in the remote sites, away from persons or structures not involved in the operation. All persons who are not involved with SunPower's operationswill be requiredto be at least 500 feet from flight operations. This will pose no riskto the public because other aircraft are not operating in these areas.

The UASs proposedhere use bothbarometric pressure sensors and GPS to determine altitude butdo nothave the ability to set in a current altimeter setting. An exemption is required to the extentthatthe UAS does nothave a barometric altimeter setting. The altitude ofthe UAS is monitored by the PIC onthe ground control station and by the visual observer.

# § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions SunPowerrequests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. 

# § 91.15l(a)'s fuel requirements for flight in VFRconditions. Section 91.151 states: (a) No personmay begin a flight in an airplane under VFRconditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed

- (1) Duringthe day, to fly afterthat for at least 30 minutes; or (2) Atnight, to fly afterthat for at least45 minutes. Here, the technological limitations onthe UAS battery powermeansthat no meaningful flight operations can be conducted while maintaining a 30 minute reserve. The aircraft are battery powered with a maximum flight time ofapproximately 50 minutes for the eBee and 24 minutes for the Phantom 2. The PIC will ensure thatbefore each flight, there is enough available powerfor the UAS to conductthe intended operation and to operate afterthat for at least five minutes or with the reserve powerrecommended bythe manufacturer ifgreater.

# §§ 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b): MaintenanceInspections 

# SunPower seeks an exemption from the maintenance inspection requirements contained in 14 C.P.R.§ 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b). These regulations specify maintenance and inspection standards in reference to 14 C.P.R. Part 43. 

# See, e.g., 14 C.P.R.§ 91.405(a) (statingthat each owner or operator ofan aircraft "[s]hall have the aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpartE ofthis part and shall betweenrequired inspections

... have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part43 ofthis chapter"). An exemption from these regulations is needed because Part43 and these sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which the UAS proposedhere will nothave. 

# EquivalentLevelof Safety: An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed in accordance with the Manuals. This includes maintenance, overhaul, replacement, and preflightinspection requirements. 

# See ExemptionNo. 11062 (FAA DocketNo. 2014-0352, atp. 14-15) and ExemptionNo. 11374 (FAA DocketNo. 2015-0091, atp. 4). SunPowerwill follow the UAS manufacturer's maintenance requirements. As provided in the Manuals, flights will notbe conducted unless a flight operations checklist is performed that includes all ofthe aircraft's components. 

# VI. PUBLIC INTEREST Granting SunPower's petition for exemption furthers the public interest. National policy set by Congress favors early integration ofUAS into the NAS in controlled, safe working environments such as proposed in this petition. By granting this petition, the FAA will fulfill Congress's intent ofallowing UAS to operate safely in the NAS before completion ofthe rulemaking required under Section 332 ofthe Reform Act. Moreover, use ofUAS will improve efficiency and reduce costs for SunPower's solar customers by reducing the time and expense necessary to collect aerial imagery. The use of the UAS proppedhere will also decrease safety-related incidents involving traditional

aircraft. Thepublic has an interest in reducing the hazards and emissions associated with alternate use ofhelicopters and small airplanes to conduct similar imaging operations. SunPower'sproposed use ofUAS will have real-world benefits forthe renewable energy industry and the public. UAS operations will speed up andreduce the costs ofsite identification for solar development. It will improve solar site construction, by allowing for real-time monitoring ofconstruction. And it will also reduce costs and improve efficiency for solar energy generation.

I. UAS FLIGHT OPERATIONS A. Company Organization and Authority SunPower will designate a Flight Operations Manager for UAS Operations. The Flight Operations Managerwill ensure the UAS Operations and Maintenance Manual and all other UAS Manuals are up to date and made available to all personnel involved with its UAS operations. The Flight Operations Managerwill ensure that all pilots are appropriately trained according to the UAS manufacturer's guidelines and will be responsible for coordinating pilot training, pilot proficiency, and mission preparation. The Flight Operations Manager will appoint a pilot in command (PIC) for each flight and will ensure the PIC is qualified, trained, and has access to the necessary information to conduct a safe flight. The Flight Operations Manager will ensure that all aircraft are airworthy before being scheduled for a flight. The Flight Operations Manager will be the main liaison with regulatory authorities. The Flight Operations Managerwill make an internal report of all accidents or incidents and, if required, will submit a report to the Federal Aviation Administration.
B. UAS Operating Procedures and Limitations 1. SunPowerwith conduct UAS flight operations using a SenseFiy eBee or a DJI Phantom 2 weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. 2. UAS operations will not be conducted for closed-set motion picture or television filming. 3. The UAS will not be operated at airspeeds greaterthan the maximum airspeed recommended by the manufacturer and will not exceed 87 knots (100 miles per hour). 4. The UAS will operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above the ground level. 5. The UAS will be operated within the visual line ofsight (VLOS) ofthe PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided b any device other than corrective lenses. 6. The UAS will be operated utilizing a visual observer (VO). The UAS will be operated within the VLOS ofthe PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and the PIC will be able to communicate verbally at all times and will not use electronic messaging or texting during flight operations. The PIC will be designated before the flight and will not transfer his designation for the duration ofthe flight. The PIC will ensure the VO can perform the duties required ofthe VO. 7.

Ifthere is no conflict with the FAA grant ofexemption, then the procedures outlined in the operating documents will be followed. 8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alteration that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations. Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with aVO and must remain at 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight will be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 9. SunPower will be responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. 10. Prior to each flight, the PIC will conduct a pre-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre-flight inspection will account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. Ifthe inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation ofthe UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS found to be in a condition for safe flight. 11. SunPower will follow the UAS manufacturer's maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. 12. Each UAS will comply with will all manufacturer safety bulletins. 13. The PIC will hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC will also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver's license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, orthe Federal government. The PIC will also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR 

# § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. 14. SunPower will not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under the FAA exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency will be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

# § 61.51 (b). Flights for the purposes oftraining PICs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experiencebuilding) and determining the PIC's ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated underthe FAA exemption are permitted. However, training operations will only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC will operate the UAS with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR 

# § 91.119.

Figure 7 

### 2.5 Correct Battery Usage Notes (1) When the battery is turned on, do not connect it to or disconnect it from the Phantom. (2) Charge and discharge the battery completely once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge itto maximum capacity. This power cycling procedurewill optimizethe battery. (3) For long term storage, place the battery with only a 40-50% charge in a strong battery box. Discharge and charge the battery once every 3 months to keep it in good condition. Charge amount should bevaried in these maintenance charges- (40%-50%)-0%-100%-(40%-50%). (4) Purchase a new battery after your current battery has been discharged over 300 times. Completely discharge a battery prior to disposal. Please dispose of batteries properly. (5) Purchase a new battery if your current battery swells up or is damaged in any way. (6) Never recharge or fly with a batterythat is swollen or damaged in any way. (7) Never charge batteries unattended. Always charge batteries on a non-flammable surface such as concrete and never near any flammable materials. (8) Safety is extremely important. For more information, please see the Disclaimer. 

## :\j: Discharging methods: Slow: Place battery in Phantom and turn on. Leave on until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on. See DJI VISION App for battery levels. Motors do not need to be turned on, reducing wear. Fast: Fly the Phantom outdoors until there is less than 8% of power left or until the battery can no longer be turned on.

# Flight Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

### Flight Environment Requirements (1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog. (2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affectthe accuracyofthe onboard compass. (3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies ofwaterwhen in flight. (4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base stations or radio transmission towers. (5) The Phantom cannotoperatewithin the polarareas. (6) Do not fly the aircraftwithin no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

### Preflight Checklist (1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. (2) Propellers are mounted correctly. (3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. (4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken orworn. (5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. (6) Camera lens cap has been removed. (7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary. (8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. (9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. (10) OJI VISION App can connectto the camera. 

### 1 Calibrating the Comp;;i$$ IMPORTANT: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poorflight performance or even flight failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

# 0 •DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. • DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. 

### 1.1Calibration Procedures Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more details.

Position-3**J.~.,::•** Position-1->PositiOil-3->Position1 Flip 5 times or above, or tap 'Compass Calibration' in OJI VISIONAPP Startcali.

### 1.2 When to Recalibrate (1) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicatorwill blink red and yellow. (2) Flying in different location to last flight. (3) Mechanical structure ofthe Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position ofthe compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does notfly in straight lines. 

### 2 Staning1Stopping

## the Motors 

### 2.1 Starting Motors A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the motors. Oncethe motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously.



### 2.2 

### Stopping Motors There aretwo methods to stop the motors. Figure 49 Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds.

[1] [2] Figure 50 Figure 51 

# 0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. '\): • Conductthe CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors start/stop. • Pull down the throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Push the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock. 

## 3**~ilgljtTest** 

### 3.1Take off/Landing Procedures (1) Placethe Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Smart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page. (4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If itflashes yellow, it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) modeand will require more careful flight. Execute the CSC commandto start motors. (5) Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operation (Page 18) for more details. (6) Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Referto DJI VISION App Usage (Page 32) for more details. (7) To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle gently to descend. (8) After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or more until the motors stop. (9) Turn off the smart battery, Range Extender and Remote Controller.

# & o When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details.
o A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function(Page 28) for details.
o Viewtutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.corn/phantom2visionplus/training.
o Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

### 3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips (1) Work through the check list before each flight. (2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. (3) Aim to shootwhen flying in Ready to Fly only. (4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. (5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photoformat and exposure compensation. (6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. (7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth.

# '\f:,~IIs~-i~;;~:ci~eti<>:r~· The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraftto return to home and land to prevent injury or damage.**~** 

# = Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS coordinates will be recorded and setas the home point.
o When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraftwill return to the recorded home point coordinates and land.

o Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance ofthe aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the GUI ofthe DJI VISION App).
o After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position ofthe mobile device at specifictime intervals.

o Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant.
o Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to obtain higher accuracy ofthe mobile device position.
o Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different from thetakeoff point. 

### 4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? (1) The Remote Controller is powered off. (2) The Phantom hasflown out of effective remote controller range. (3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. (4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

### 4.2 Failsafe Procedure Initiating the Failsafe modefrom differentflying statuseswill results in different landing processes. Readyto Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing The Flight Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift during the descent and landing process.

### 3.1 Howto solve large margin(s) mid-point error? Appendix

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the CSC and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. (1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the Phantom 2 Vision+. Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks attheir mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ to re-record the mid-point. (2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. b) Power cycle the Phantom 2Vision+. Power cycling is required. c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controllerto DJ I Customer service for repair. 

### 3.2 Howto restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about30 secondsfor the video file to be restored. · 

### 3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

### 3.4 Whatto do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? Solution: Turn off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

### 3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all thetime. Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting to otherWi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

### 3.6 Files fail to synchronize. Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some mobile devices do not supportthe synchronization ofthe 1080i60video files.

### 3.9 SomeAndroid devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2Vision+ Wi-Fi Extender. Solution: SomeAndroid devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection atthe same time. When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings-> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this message can be ignored. 

### 3.10App tips for mobile devices. Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn offthe App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

### 3.11 Howto land the aircraft more smoothly? Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

### 3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is whythe dischargetime of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okayto use. 

### 3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

### 3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station forfuture use. 

### 3.15 What if Iaccidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode_? If OJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission, aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. If OJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect with aircraftwithin 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.

or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, the battery control board may malfunction and a serious accident may happen during flight. • Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any

way, or the battery may catch fire or explode. • Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If

any electrolytes splash onto your skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with fresh running water for at least 15 minutes then see a doctor immediately. • Check the condition of the battery if it falls out

of the Phantom. Make sure the battery is NOT damaged or leaking before putting it backto the Phantom. • Land the Phantom immediately when the

low battery level warning activates in the DJI VISION App. • Do not drop the battery into water. If the inside

of the battery comes into contact with water, chemical decomposition may occur, potentially resulting the battery catching on fire, and may even lead to an explosion. Ifthe batteryfalls into water with the Phantom during flight, take it out immediately and put it in a safe and open area. Maintain a far distance from the battery until it is completely dry. Never use the battery again, and dispose of the battery properly as described in Battery Disposal below. • Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry

powderfire extinguisher. Never use water to put out a battery fire. 

## Charging the Battery • Batteries must be charged using a DJI approved

adapter. OJ Itakes no responsibility if the battery is charged using a non-DJ Icharger. Never leave the battery unattended during charging. Do not charge the battery near flammable materials or on flammable surfaces such as carpet or wood. • Do not charge battery immediately after flight,

because the battery temperature may be too high. Do not charge the battery until it cools down to near roorn temperature. Charging battery outside of the temperature range of 0°C-40°C may lead to leakage, overheating, or battery damage. • Charge and discharge the battery completely

once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. Discharge the battery until there is less than 8% power or until it can no longer be turned on, then recharge it to the maximum capacity. This power cycling procedure will optimize the battery life. 

## Battery Storage • Do not leavethe battery near heatsources such as

afurnace or heater. The ideal storage temperature is 0°C-21°C. • Keep the battery dry. Never drop the battery into

water. • Do not drop, strike, impale, or manually shortcircuit the battery. • Keep the battery away from metal objects such

as necklaces and hairpins. • Discharge the battery to 30%-50% of the battery

level if it will not be used for 7 days or more. This can greatly extend the battery life. 

## Battery Disposal • Dispose of the battery into specific recycling

boxes only after a complete discharge. Do not place the battery into regular rubbish bins. Strictly follow your local disposal and recycling regulations of batteries. • If the power on/off button of the smart battery

is disabled and the battery cannot be fully discharged, please contact a professional battery disposal/recycling agent for further assistance.
