The specific section or sections of 14 CFR from which you seek an exemption;

Petition for Exemption under Sec 333

The extent of relief you seek and the reason you seek the relief;

Sec 333 prohibits the use of a UAS for commercial purposes on private property. We are a commercial real estate group that owns and manages buildings throughout Long Island, NY. We are simply petitioning for an exemption to use a UAS for a commerc ial purpose on properties owned by us for the sole purpose of doing aerial photography and videos to further use them on our website and our promotional materials as well as utilizing it in our maintenance/ inspection in

- hou se program . We are in
touch with a certified pilot, James Kelly, who will be in charge of operating the UAS.

How your request would benefit the public as a whole;

Our request benefits the public by providing better images and understandings of the property that they may be interested in renting/ l easing. It gives our in

- house broker more accurate information to share with potential tenants (who are typically small businesses)

. It would also allow us to simplify our inspection and maintenance procedures regarding roofing and elevated el ements of the building. With this exemption we will be able to document our land and properties and taking advantage of technology that now exists in the form of UAS’s and allows us to do so using a certified pilot in command that understands how to safely operate such technology.

Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect saf ety, or how the exemption would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rule;

Having an FAA licensed Private Pilot in charge of the UAS, who is also a certified pilot

, and therefore
understand s the importance of different uses and safety concerns r egarding FAA regulated airspace
would make us a good candidate for exemption of Sec 333 while not adversely affecting Air Safety

. The specific UAS that we ar e looking at ( Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K) , and for which we are seeking exemption, is one with many safety programs, including SAFE technology and GPS navigating. When flying for this commercial purpose we would be flying at a maximum altitude of 60 meters and flying mostly horizontally for the purposes of taking photos, decreasing the risk of any interference. Our pilot’s general knowledge of the aviation safety systems implemented by the FAA would be used to ensure that safety would not be affected by our ope rations. We would not be flying near disaster areas, sporting events, or high traffic areas including airports, and we would pay attention to NOTAMS.

We intend to fly in one of these two safe modes:(1) Smart mode * : In Smart Mode the TYPHOON will always move in the direction the right

- hand control stick is pushed relative to the pilot and no matter which way the front/nose is pointed. So if you push the stick to the left the TYPHOON will always move to the left, regardless of the direction the nose is pointin g and even if it’s spinning. This mode can also be helpful for pilots that lose orientation while flying in Angle (Pilot) Mode.

* Which also includes : SMART CIRCLE In most cases the Smart Circle will keep the TYPHOON from coming within approximately 26 fe et (8 meters) of you (as long as you position yourself at least 26 feet/8 meters behind the TYPHOON.

GEO

- FENCE The geo

- fence is a virtual ‘barrier’ that will keep the TYPHOON from traveling further than 300 feet (91 meters).

(2) Home mode: In Home Mode the GPS connectivity will fly back the TYPHOON, and automatically
land within 13

- 26 ft (4

- 8m) of the pilot. It can be helpful if one loses orientation during flight; with simple activation of the Home Mode, TYPHOON automatically moves toward the home position. And if the TYPHOON ever loses the link with the ST10+ it will automatically enter Home
Mode.

A summary we can publish in the Federal Register

I, Barbara Puszkiewicz

- Cimino

, on behalf of Brent Mako Real Estate Group

, am seeking an exemption of
the FAA’s Sec 333 rules that does not allow the use of an Unmanned Aircraft to be used for Commercial

purposes with respect to National Airspace Safety. I am simply petitioning for an exemption to provide a

com mercial service to our company who wish es to obtain and capture A erial photography and videos of
said properties for purposes including them in real estate listings, and for use as a marketing tool for our business, as well as inspection and maintenance programs. Having an FAA licensed Private Pilo t in charge of this project and therefore an understanding of the importance of different uses an d safety concerns regarding FAA regulated airspace, we would be a good candidate for an exemption o f Sec 333

, while not putting Air S afety at risk. The specific UAS ( Typhoon Q500 4K ) I am seeking exemption with is one with many saf ety programs, including SAFE technology and GPS navigating. When flying for this commercial purpose we would be flying at a maximum altitude of 60 meters and flying mostly horizontally for the purposes of taking photos, decreasing the risk of any interference. Our pilot’s

ge neral knowledge of the aviation safety systems implemented by the FAA would be used to ensure that safety would not be affected by our oper ations. We would not be flying near disaster areas, sporting events, or high traffic areas including airports, and I would pay attention to NOTAMS. We appreciate the
FAA’ s consideration of this petition for exemption.

Any additional information, views, or arguments available to support your request;

the Typhoon Q500 4K and intend to implement pre fligh t safety checks and utilize the safety techn ology provided with this unit. We inten d to only fly in non

- populated, commercial areas and stay clear of all utility li nes , etc. We intend to be fully aware of our surroundings at all times and to only fly the
unmanned aircraft within a visual l ine of sight an d only in Visual Flight Conditions.We understand and will comply with all the health and safety regulations for PIC’s and will have certified pilot in charge of the UAS under this exemption. Operations of the Typhoon Q500 4K include the following informat ion and operations manual:
