Greetings, 

Fly Habana has proudly been issued an exemption, Regulatory Docket No F AA-20 14-1004 and exemption numbered 11284 

(hereinafter the Exemption) for the purpose of conducting unmanned aircraft system (UAS) aerial photography for motion picture, 

television, and the content creation industry for scripted closed set filming. Fly Habana hereby respectfully requests an 

amendment to our COA to allow the below listed additional operations. 

l. Fly Habana requests permission to operate all types a flight UA V aircraft under 55 pounds as recently specified by the list 

posted on www.regulations.gov under Docket Number F AA-2007-3330. 

Fly Habana requests permission to modify our COA to include the new provisions for operating distances from "Non 

Participants." This would include flying over and near both participants and non-participants in the operation of the UAV. 

Fly Habana would operate within the parameters of the new provisions being outlined in recent 333 exemptions to include the 

following tenninology we are aware of: 

1. Over or near people directly participating in the operation of the UAS. People directly participating in the operation of the 

UAS include the PIC, VO, and other consenting personnel that are directly participating in the safe operation of the UA. 

2. Near but not over people directly participating in the intended purpose of the UAS operation. People directly participating 

in the intended purpose of the UAS must be briefed on the potential risks and ~knowledge and consent to those risks. 

Operators must notify the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with a plan of activities at least 12 hours prior to 

flight operations. 

3. Near nonparticipating persons. Except as provided in subsections (a) and (b) of this section, a UA may only be operated 

closer than 500 feet to a person when barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect that person from the UA 

and/or debris or hazardous materials such as fuel or chemicals in the event of an accident. Un<ler these conditions, the 

operator must ensure that the person remains under such protection for the duration of the operation. If a situation arises 

where the person leaves such protection and is within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a 

manner that does not cause undue hazard to persons. 

4. Near vessels, vehicles and structures. Prior to conducting operations the operator must obtain permission from a person 

with the legal authority over any vessels, vehicles, or structures that will be within 500 feet of the UA during operations. 

The PIC must make a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not 

present an undue hazard. 

Please feel free to contact Mark Eberle, Directar of Flight Operations, at 818.448.53 67 should you have any questions concerning 

this request for an amendment.
