Re: Summary Grant Amendment to Section 333 Petition for Exemption 

pursuant to Section 333 of the Federal Aviation Administration 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, 49 U.S.C. § 44701(f), and 14 C.F.R. 

Part 11 in Petition No. 14909

Dear Sir or Madam:

Unmanned Vehicle University (UVU) filed for a Petition for Exemption/Rulemaking, 

pursuant to Section 333 of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Modernization and 

Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) 49 U.S.C. § 44701(f), and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, for the 

purposes of flight demonstration and training. The Petition for Exemption is Exemption 

No. 14909. Unmanned Vehicle University requests an amendment to that petition to add 

the use of any aircraft identified on the List of Approved Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) 

under Section 333 at regulatory docket FAA–2007–3330 at www.regulations.gov, when 

weighing less than 55 pounds

Furthermore, UVU requests to amend the language in the petition to reflect the 

original requested flight training, with the following justification. 

The mission of UVU’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program is to facilitate and 

promote proper training of crew members for the safe incorporation of UAS into the 

National Airspace System (NAS). UVU uses extensive prior experience operating and 

maintaining

UAS to conduct flights within the NAS and to establish operational guidelines, policies, 

and procedures. 

With proper background experience and practices already in place, UVU will ensure 

proper UAS training is provided to operators of the next generation of UAS to ensure a 

safe environment to the general public and other users of the NAS. 

With the ever expanding UAS commercial industry, UVU’s incorporates a similar 

flight school training program to that of a Part 141 school to train UAS crewmembers. 

This training provides them with significant hands on flight training in addition to UVU’s 

current academic UAS program. UVU believes it is in the public's best interest to provide 

UAS operators with real world flight experience in preparation for a career in the

commercial UAS industry and enhance safety within the NAS.

This amendment to UVU’s original Exemption No. 14909 will permit UVU to safely

operate sUAS under controlled conditions in the NAS for the purposes of flight training. 

The FAA has already set precedence to this request by the approval of Exemption No. 

13465 for the purposes of flight training. Approval of this amendment will enhance safety 

and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation ' s (the FAA Administrator' s) responsibilities to

establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the NAS 

consistent with Section 333(c) of the Reform Act.

UVU is requesting a Summary Grant amendment to their previously submitted 

petition. The FAA has already granted Exemption No.13465 to Kansas State University 

for their program analogous to UVU and all the additional aircraft requested in this 

amendment have been previously approved by the FAA.

Please contact the undersigned should you have any question concerning this 

request for a Summary Grant amendment.
