Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA-2014-0642), and 12645 to Allied Drones (see 

Docket No. FAA-2014-0804), There is 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. 

Jayson C Hill Will operate one or more of the Following model UAS. 

DJI 3 Advanced, DJI Inspire Pro, DJI Phantom 2, DJI Spreading Wings S900 

with the WooKong-M flight control system for commercial, industrial 
Safety requirements. The approval of this application presents no national 

security issues. Regarding the level of safety surrounding the proposed 

operations and the public benefit, reduction in environmental impacts, including 

but not limited to reduced emissions and noise, the grant of the requested 

exemption is in the public interest. Accordingly, the applicant graciously requests 

that the FAA grant the requested exemption. 

AIRCRAFT AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

The operation limitations proposed for an equivalent or higher level of safety 

because operations will further enhance the safety of the persons and/or property 

using conventional aircraft. These limitations and conditions to which the 

applicant agrees to adhere to when conducting commercial operations under the 

FAA issued exemption as set forth in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) 

include: 

1. The UAS will weigh significantly less than 55 lbs. 

2. The UAS, depending on the model in operation, will have a maximum 

operating speed of no more than 50mph. 

3. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the Pilot in Command (PIC) 

and/or Visual Observer (VO). 

4. Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be depending on the UAS 

model in operation, but will not exceed 30 minutes. Flights will be terminated at 

25% battery power reserve or 30 minutes of flight time whichever occurs first. 

5. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet Above Ground 

Level (AGL) and not more than 200 feet above an elevated platform from which 

filming is planned. 

6. Minimum crew for each operation will consist of the UAS Pilot and at least one 

Visual Observer (VO), and may include a third, but separate, Camera Operator 

(CO). 

7. The UAS pilot will be a designated Pilot in Command (PIC). The PIC will have 

logged a minimum of 20 hours on the designated UAS. 
8. A safety briefing will be performed prior to each day's flights consisting of all 

the days' Production activities. 

9. All flight activities will be logged. 

1 0. All flights will occur under Visual Flight Rules Meteorological Conditions 

(VMC) only. 

11. The flights will occur in Class G airspace no closer than a mile radius of the 

geographic center/Airport Reference Point (ARP) of a tower controlled or 

uncontrolled airport. 

12. Flights will not be closer than a 5 mile radius of the geographic center/Airport. 

13. The operator will do a pre check of aircraft prior to each flight. And log each 

flight. 

14. The operator will obtain verbal/written consent of all persons involved with the 

planned operation and ensure that only consenting persons will be allowed within 

100 feet of the flight operation, and the radius may be reduced to 30 feet based 

upon an equivalent level of safety determination, as U.S. Department of 

Transportation required under the FOM. With the advanced permission of the 

FSDO, operations at closer range may be approved. 

15. The PIC and VO will have been trained in operation of UAS and receive up to 

date information for the particular UAS to be operated. 

16. The PIC and VO will be able to communicate by voice and/or radio at all 

times. 

17. The PIC will abide by all rules 

18. If the UAS loses communications with the remote controller or loses GPS 

signal, the UAS will have the capability to return to a predetermined 

location within a designated location and land autonomously. 

19. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case of emergencies with 

an automated "Return Home and Land" function. 

20. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case ofunpredicted 

obstacles, weather, or emergencies such as low battery. 
21. 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. 

Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) 

per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov. 

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) 

(1) Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural 

requirements for the issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR 

§91.203 (a) (1 ). Given the size and limited operating area associated with the 

aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, an exemption from Part 21 Subpart H 

meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and 

Section 333 of the Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C.§44701 (f)) 

and Section333 of the Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from 

the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, 

weight, speed, operational capability, and proximity to airports and populated 

areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis of these criteria 

demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate in the 

restricted environment and under the conditions proposed will be at least as safe, 

or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an 

airworthiness certificate without the restrictions and conditions proposed. The 

UAS to be operated hereunder is less than 55 lbs. fully loaded, carries neither a 

pilot nor passenger, carries no explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and 

operates exclusively within a secured and designated area. Unlike other civil 

aircraft, operations under this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored 

by both the operator and under the requirements and in compliance with local 

public safety requirements. These safety enhancements provide a greater degree 

of safety to the public and property owners than conventional operations 

conducted with airworthiness certificates issued under 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart 

H. Lastly, application of these same criteria demonstrates that there is no 

credible threat to national security posed by the UAS, due to its size, speed of 

operation, location of operation, lack of explosive materials or flammable liquid 

fuels, and inability to carry a substantial external load. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft The regulation requires: When 

marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is 

displayed on limited, restricted or light sport category aircraft or experimental or 

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 6 inches high, the words "limited/' "restricted/' "light sport/' 

"experimental/' or "provisional/' as applicable. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft The regulation requires: When 

marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is 
displayed on limited, restricted or light sport category aircraft or experimental or 

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 6 inches high, the words 111imited/' .. restricted/' 11 light 

sport/"'experimental/' or .. provisional/' as applicable. Even though the UAS will 

have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the UAS will 

have no entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word 11Experimental 11 can be placed. Given the size of the UAS, two inch lettering will 

be impossible. The word .. Experimental .. will be placed on the fuselage in 

compliance with §45.29 (f). US Department of Transportation February 20, 2015 

The equivalent level of safety will be provided by having the UAS marked on its 

fuselage as required by §45.29 (f) where the pilot, observer and others working 

with the UAS will see the identification of the UAS as .. Experimental. .. 14 C.F.R. § 

61.113 (a) and (b The proposed UAS operations may achieve an equivalent level 

of safety as achieved by current Regulations because the applicant's UAS do not 

carry any pilots or passengers nor property. The risks attendant to the It is 

believed that the operation and limitations set forth in the FOM will equate to the 

safe operation of the UAS. 

14 C.F.R. §91.7{a): Civil Aircraft Airworthiness. The regulation requires that no 

person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy condition. As there will 

be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this exemption be 

granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. 

Given the size of the aircraft for maintenance and use of safety checklists prior to 

each flight, an equivalent level of safety will be provided. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2): 

Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. Section 91.9 (b) {2) provides: No 

person may operate a U.S. registered civil aircraft ... (2) For which an Airplane or 

Rotorcraft Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is 

available in the aircraft a current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, 

approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any combination thereof. 

The UAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or place to carry such a 

flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, but 

because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. The 

equivalent level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the 

ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to 

it. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action. This regulation requires each pilot in 

command to take certain actions before flight to insure the safety of flight. As 

FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided for the aircraft an 

exemption will be needed. The PIC will take all actions as stated in the FOM in 

Section 4 under Normal Procedures including but not limited to reviewing 
weather, flight battery requirements, landing and takeoff distances and aircraft 

performance data before initiation of flight. 

14 C.F.R. §91.1 09: Flight Instruction. Section 91.103 provides that no person 

may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for 

flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls. UAS and 

remotely piloted aircraft, by their design do not have fully functional dual controls. 

Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that 

communicates with the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved 

exemptions for flight training without fully functional dual controls for a number of 

aircraft and for flight instruction in experimental aircraft. The equivalent level of 

safety is provided by the fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in 

the aircraft and by the size and speed of the aircraft. 

14 C.F.R. §91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes. Section 91.119 establishes safe 

altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows helicopters to be 

operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating 

the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by 

the FAA. As this exemption is for a UAS that is a helicopter and the exemption 

requests authority to operate at altitudes up to 400 AGL, or not more than 200 

above an elevated platform from which filming is planned, an exemption may be 

needed to allow such operations. As set forth herein, the UAS will never operate 

at higher than 400 AGL with the exception that in circumstances where the UAS 

is used to survey or photograph a structure whose height exceeds 400 feet AGL, 

the UAS will not be operated more than 200 feet above the highest point on the 

structure. It will however be operated in a restricted area with security perimeter, 

where buildings and people will not be exposed to operations without their pre 

obtained consent. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, 

weight, and speed of the UAS as well as the location where it is operated. No 

flight will be taken without the permission of the property owner or local officials. 

Because of the advance notice to the property owner and participants in the 

filming activity, all affected individuals will be aware of the planned flight 

operations. Compared to flight operations with aircraft or rotorcraft weighting far 

more than the maximum SSibs. Proposed herein and the lack of flammable fuel, 

any risk associated with these operations is far less than those presently 

presented with conventional aircraft operating at or below 500 AGL. In addition, 

the low altitude operations of the UAS will ensure separation between these UAS 

operations and the operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with 

Section 91.119. 

14 C.F.R. §91.121 Altimeter Settings. This regulation requires each person 

operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by reference to an altimeter that 

is set " ... to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter 

setting available before departure." As the UAS may not have a barometric 
altimeter, but instead a GPS altitude read out, an U.S. exemption may be 

needed. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by the operator, pursuant 

to the safety check list and live flight data monitoring, confirming the altitude of 

the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.151 (a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions Section 

91.151 (a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under 

VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there 

is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal 

cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) 

At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes." The applicant believes that an 

exemption from 14 CFR §91.151 (a) falls within the scope of prior exemptions. 

Operating the UAS in a tightly controlled area where only people and property 

owners or official representatives who have signed waivers will be allowed does 

not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was intended to alleviate 

given the size and speed of the small UAS. The applicant believes that an 

equivalent level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 30 minutes or 25% 

of battery power- whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than 

adequate to return the UAS to its planned landing zone from anywhere in its 

limited operating area. 

14 C.F.R. §91.203 (a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and 

Registration The regulation provides in pertinent part: (a) Except as provided in§ 

91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it the following: 

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate .... (b) No person may 

operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph 

(a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under §91. 715 is 

displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or 

crew. The UAS fully loaded weighs well under the proposed 551 b limit and is 

operated without an onboard pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry 

certification and registration documents or to display them on the UAS. An 

equivalent level of safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the 

ground control point where the pilot flying the UAS will have immediate access to 

them, to the extent they are applicable to the UAS. 

14 C.F.R. §91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1 ); 409 (a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance 

Inspections. These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall 

have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall 

between required inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, 

have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter ... ," and 

others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given that 

these sections and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, 
these sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished 

by the operator pursuant to the flight manual and operating handbook. An 

equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the UAS is very limited in size 

and will carry a small payload and operate only in restricted areas for a limited 

period of time. If mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will 

be operating from no higher than 400 feet AGL. The operator will ensure that the 

UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, 

and keep a log of any maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the 

person most familiar with the aircraft and best suited to maintain the aircraft in an 

airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of safety. An equivalent level of 

safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will be performed 

in accordance with the UAS Manufacturer's User Manual. As provided in the 

FOM, and a link on last page, the operator will ensure that the UAS is in working 

order prior to initiating flight and perform required maintenance needed. 

Additional Information 

The applicant Jayson C Hill believes this exemption request and associated 

safety considerations adequately satisfy criteria provided in Section 333 of the 

Reform Act of 2012, providing sufficient justification for the granting of 

commercial operations of the applicant's UAS. I also feel its in the public's 

interest on granting the exemption, as we can educate them at the same time. 

And all the positive sides of the new technology and the levels of safety. 

The applicant Jayson C Hill requests your respective approval of this Section 

333 exemption petition request. 

Thank you for your attention in this matter. Please notify Jayson C Hill of your 

actions, and or approvals. Thank you, for your interest in this request.

1. Introduction A. Purpose 

This manual has been developed by Jayson C Hill hereafter referred to as " 

Jayson C Hill ", in conjunction with an application for a Certificate of Waiver 

of Authorization of the provisions of FAR 91.119 (b) and (c) for the purposes 

of filming. Jayson C Hill and other company personnel when applicable will 

comply with the policies, procedures and conditions of this manual, whenever 

motion picture or television flight operations are performed that require a 

Waiver of Authorization as mentioned above. 

A. Pilot/Operator Organization 

Jayson C Hill 

2235 Glendale Ave, 

Sparks NV 89431 

jay-hill@msn.com 

B. Persons Authorized 

FAR 91.119 (c) is waived only with respect to those persons, vehicles and 

structures directly involved in the performance of the actual filming. The 

certificate holder shall ensure that no persons are allowed within 500 feet of the 

area except those consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming 

production. This provision may be reduced to no less than 200 feet if an 

equivalent level of safety can be achieved and the Administrator has approved it. 

For example, an equivalent level of safety may be determined by an ASI's 

evaluation of the filming production area to note terrain features, obstructions, 

buildings, etc. Such barriers may protect nonparticipating persons (observers, the 

public, news media, etc.) from debris in the event of an accident. 
C. Area of Operations 

Jayson CHill approved area of operations will be the continental United States, 

excluding Alaska and Hawaii. 

D. Plan of Activities 

At least three (3) days prior to any scheduled filming, Jayson CHill will submit a 

written plan of activities to the local FSDO having jurisdiction over that area. The 

plan of activities should include the following: 

(1) Dates and times for all flights. 

(2) Name and phone number of person responsible for the filming production 

event. 

(3) Name and phone number of person responsible for aircraft. 

(4) Make, model, and serial or N-number of aircraft to be used and type of 

airworthiness certificate, including category. 

(5) Name and certificate number of pilots involved in the filming production event, 

including any notation of external load endorsements or aerobatic competency, if 

required. 

(6) A statement that the waiver holder has obtained permission from property 

owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event. The list of 

those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon 

request from the waiver holder. 

(7) Signature of waiver holder or representative. 

(8) A description of the flight activity including maps or diagrams of any area, city, 

town, county, and/or State over which filming will be conducted and the minimum 

altitudes essential to accomplish the operations. 

The three (3) day notification equipment's may be waived, however, the operator 

should contact the FSDO as soon as possible with this request and be prepared 

to explain in detail why the three (3) day notification is not practical. 
E. Permission to Operate 

Before any flight operations is conducted at less than 500 feet under the 

provisions of the certificate of waiver and this manual, the operator will obtain 

permission to conduct these operations from property owners and local officials 

as necessary or appropriate. Persons from whom permission may be required 

are listed below: 

( 1) Property owners 

(2) Law enforcement officials 

(3) Fire department officials 

(4) Local, State and Federal government, Air traffic Control 

F. Security 

Prior to any flight operation the operator will coordinate with appropriate 

production personnel to devise a plan of securing the area(s) of operation from 

all unauthorized persons and vehicles. Provisions will be made to immediately 

discontinue operations should the area(s) become unsecured or for any other 

reason in the interest of safety. 

G. Briefing of Pilot/Production Personnel 

Prior to the start of any operation under the provisions of this manual, the pilot in 

command will conduct a briefing of all procedures to participating personnel of 

the risks involved, emergency procedures, and safeguards to be followed during 

the filming production event. Personnel will also be briefed on additional 

provisions that may be issued by the FSDO that has geographic responsibility for 

the operational area, including the location of boundaries or time limits. The 

briefing shall cover: 

Authorization for motion picture and television certificate of waiver and the 

attached special provisions 

Operations manual, Plan of activities, Aircraft parking and starting Taxi 

procedures, Radio Communications, Takeoff procedures, Aviation activities to be 

conducted during the filming production event, Approach and landing 

procedures, Recall procedures, Emergency procedures, Risks to participating 

personnel, How to control nonparticipating persons. 

H. Certification/Airworthiness 

All Jayson CHill aircrafts used in operations requiring a waiver of FAR 91 .119 

(b) and (c) for the purpose of filming will be properly certified and hold 

airworthiness certificates. 
However, restricted category aircraft cannot be used as the filming "vehicle" in 

motion picture and television filming. Also, aircraft in the experimental category 

must have an airworthiness certificate issued for the purpose of exhibition in 

order to be used in motion picture and television filming. Other required tests and 

inspections will be performed as per Part 91 when necessary. Each aircraft will 

have a flight log containing upcoming scheduled maintenance and inspections 

and the dates or times they must be performed. A section for discrepancies is 

also found in the flight log. The pilot in command will assure the aircraft to be 

flown is in airworthy condition and all required inspections and maintenance has 

been completed before each flight. 

I. Communications 

Prior to the start of any operation covered by this manual, the pilot in command 

will formulate a plan to provide communications capability to all participants 

during the actual operation and filming. Oral, visual or radio communications may 

be used as long as it is effective and is capable of keeping the participants 

continuously appraised of the current status of the operation. 

J. Accident Notification 

Should an accident ohncident requiring notification of the NTSB occur, the 

notification requirements of FAR Part 830 would comply. 

K. Recall/Stop Procedures 

Radio communication, oral, visual or a combination will be utilized to keep the 

participants continuously apprised of the current status of operation.
