Amendment to Exemption No. 14513

SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class Aerials (Exemption No. 14513) is requesting 

amendments to their existing 333 exemption as listed and described below. The purpose for the 

amendments is to be able to offer additional services to those listed in the existing 333 exemption. Each 

amendment will serve to increase the functionality and usefulness of UASs and the increased 

functionality will serve to create safer, more secure and protection for our natural resources. 

1. Additional Aircraft 

SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class Aerials would like to add additional UAS to the 

existing exemption. 

Manufacturer: DJI Model: Inspire 1

Manufacturer: Freefly Systems Model: Alta

Manufacturer: First Class Aerials Model: FCAT1

Manufacturer: First Class Aerials Model: FCAT2

Utilizing appropriate, high quality components, First Class Aerials was able to construct a very 

lightweight reliable vehicle, with additional features and longer air. The FCAT1 & 2, meet all weight, 

speed and other criteria spelled out in the 333 exemption. 

The two crafts, FCAT 1 and FCAT 2 were specifically built for both testing purposes, as well as for 

navigating more narrow spaces (example: between tree’s) than the other crafts listed would allow.

2. Relief from restriction #2 

SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class Aerials has extensive video and film production 

experience and would like to be able to use UASs for such purposes as called out in the 333 exemption. It 

is therefore requesting relief from restriction #2 on the 333 exemption for operation in closed set 

environments for movie and television production. 

3. Relief from restriction #15 

SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class Aerials would like the ability to perform 

inspections utilizing FLIR technology. We are located in a warmer climate and FLIR is much more 

effective during evening hours. The initial usage would be to survey wetland areas with no population, 

potential future uses may include search and rescue and inspections. All items which help improve 

safety, security and longevity of our natural resources.

While flying, SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class Aerials will still maintain visual 

flight rules and only fly under VFR conditions. 

4. Relief from restriction #13

SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class Aerials is seeking relief from the PIC restriction. 

The conditions in which the relief would be granted include - remaining a minimum of 10 feet under the 

largest obstacle (may it be treeline or building), at speeds under 20 mph, follow all the VLOS and 

maintenance rules set forth in the current exemption, ensure a minimum of one observer is in place, and 
never be flown near any gathering larger than 20 people. These restrictions are all in place to expand the 

safety of the flight.

The partial relief would allow for specific usage that includes nature preservation, monitoring and 

conservation of wildlife in areas which access is limited, as well as extremely low altitude flights – under 

60 feet. 

The PIC during those flights will have a documented record of a minimum of 100 hours of flight time in 

both training and real world situations. That flight time more than doubles that required of a traditional 

sport, recreational and private pilot’s license.

The safety record, experience, and training of SoundNStyle Inc dba The Naples Studio & First Class 

Aerials pilots, as well as commitment to preserving our natural resources are the reason we are seeking 

this partial exemption.
