RE:	Section	333 Exemption	Request

Dear	Sir	or	Madam:

Pursuant	to	Section	333	of	the	FAA	Modernization	and	Reform Act	of	2012	

(the	“Reform	Act”) and	14	CFR	Part	11,	Luke	Lamb, seeks	an	exemption	from	

Federal	Aviation	Regulations (“FARs”)	to	allow	commercial	operation	of	its	smallunmanned	aircraft	systems	(“sUASs”),	for	the	purpose	of	Photography,	Videography	

and	Data	Collection.	

Luke	lamb will	utilize	the	DJI	Inspire	1	Professional,	Phantom	3,	S900	and	

S1000	to	conduct	business.	All	of	these	aircraft	have	been	previously	approved	for	

Section	333	exemptions	and	are	well-known,	heavily	used	and	highly	reliable.	

Operational	manuals,	specifications	and	pre-flight	check	list	for	all	the	above	

mentioned	UAS	are	attached	(see	Attachment	A,	B,	C	and	D).

Granting	a	333	exemption	will	permit	the	use	of	sUASs	under	controlled	

conditions	in	airspace	that	is	limited,	predetermined,	controlled	as	to	access	and	

would	provide	safety	for	both	the	public	and	private	sectors.		In	addition,	the	

requested	exemption	would	allow	the	use	of	the	above	noted	sUASs to	safely	

operate	in	National	Airspace	“NAS”	that	is	outlined	in	Section	333(c)	of	the	Reform	

Act.	

The	 requested	 exemption would	 also	 support	 an	 application	 for	 a	

commercial	Certificate	of	Authorization	to	use	the	 sUASs,	described	above, so	that	

Luke	lamb	will	be	able	to	conduct	business	for	the	following	purposes:	

 Aerial photography	and	videography	of	commercial,	industrial	and	

residential	real	estate

 Agricultural surveying and	mapping
 Infrastructure inspection	for construction	and	utility	businesses of	

wind	turbines,	cell	towers,	pipelines	and	bridge	inspections

 Insurance inspections	to	assess	property	condition	and	damage	

assessment	data

Public	Interest and	Safety:

Luke	lamb is	committed	to	safety	and	willingly	participates	with	local	

schools,	police	and	fire	department	to	aid	in	education,	research	and	promoting	

community	welfare	related	to	operation	of	its	UAS.	 The	operation	of	these	sUASs

will	provide	numerous	services	that	would	benefit	from	aerial	imaging	and	data	
collection	while	enhancing	safety	by	reducing	the	risks	associated	with	traditional	

aircraft.	

The	sUASs noted	above	do	not	create	a	hazard	to	users	of	the	NAS,	the	public	

and	pose	no	threat	to	national	security	due	to:

 Operation	of	the	UAS	in	close	proximity	to	airports	and	regulated	areas

 The	UAS’s	size,	weight,	speed	and	operational	capability

 Operation	of	the	UAS	within	visual	line	of	sight	of	the	operator

Additionally,	flights	will	be	conducted	under	400	feet	AGL	thereby	avoiding	

interference	with	users	of	the	NAS.	Flights	will	be	suspended	immediately	to	yield	

right	of	way	to	any	other	aircraft.	Geo-fencing	will	be	utilized	to	contain	the	UAS	

inside	intended	area.		The	test	site	will	be	secured	and	only	authorized	personnel	

will	be	permitted	in	the	operating	area	where	possible.	

Please	contact	me	at	925-577-8811 for	any	questions	or	concerns.

Respectfully,

Luke	Lamb
