December 10, 2015 by/for Michael Evans , Studio 213 This document constitutes an exemption Request under Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 for Aviation Unmanned to perform Aerial Photography by/for Michael Evans, Studio 213

. The main use of this UAS would be taking real

- estate , A rchitectural , Landscape, Construction, Wedding, and general aerial photography photos. The UAS systems that I plan to use is a DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Plus and will be referenced in this document

. 1.The safe operation to the NAS and/or persons and/or property will be kept to a minimum by always flying the UAS within visual eye contact, less than 400 ft above ground and never directly above persons or public places. The orientation of flights will be such that the pilot in command (PIC) always has a visual on the rear mounted LED flight Indicator. Additional safety features on the DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Plus include, return to home, low voltage, enhanced failsafe along with operating in the less populated 5.8 GHZ frequency range. 2.Pre

-flight inspection would be checking battery condition/level in both the transmitter and UAS. The binding/link feature will not let the UAS start if communication is not established. A check for power

lines, antennas and other overhead objects would be performed. Atmospheric conditions would be monitored continuously through all operations and would be a factor for flying. 3.The radio frequency of the DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Plus is in 5.8 GHZ range

. Maximum take

- off weight less than 12 50 g. Max Ascent/decent speed 6 m/s. Maximum flight Velocity 1 5 m/s. 4.The PIC will be only myself and I have a minimum of 100 hours flying time with this DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Plus . Testing, updating and programming the DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Pl us firmware wouldbe done on a monthly schedule

.

5.Im in good medical health and sound mental health. No arrests or felonies. I work in the Law Enforcement career field in addition to an extensive Aviation background prior to Law Enforcement. 6.The intended use of this DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Plus is to supplement my existing Photography business with occasional aerial photographs. Other photographers are currently offering aerial photography and currently have a competitive edge 7.All photo flights for hire would have the date, time, GPS coordinates along with the camera metadata recorded on a hard drive and also backed up to a DVD. This data would be kept readily available for a period of 1 year after each aerial flight for hire. The petitioner ( Mich ael Evans ) will also file for a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). In the event that a COA request is not granted I would ask that this request for exemption still be granted with a conditional use. The DJI PHANTOM Vision 2 Plus will not be flow n at night and never in the flight path of manned aircraft. The first condition listed to always keep visual eye contact on the LED flight indicator is probably the most important. My main objective is to offer aerial real estate , Architectural , Landscape, Construction, Wedding, and general aerial photography at a competitive rate for the general public in the safest way possible. Respectfully, Michael Evans Studio 213 316 N Locust St. Tremont, IL 61568
