CFR - Section 333 process - Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations – to fly commercially for 

aerial data collection 

I will follow manufacturer’s steps/specifications for flight environment, preflight checklist, monitor all 

flight systems while inflight, and calibrate equipment when necessary. I will not fly above people. 

Flight Environment Requirements

 1.Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed 

exceeding category 4, snow, rain and smog. 

 2.Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the 

onboard compass. 

 3.Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or 

bodies of water when in flight. 

 4.Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high 

levels of electromagnetism, including base stations or radio transmission towers. 

 5.The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. 

 6.Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Preflight Checklist

 1.Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smartphone are fully charged. 

 2.Propellers are mounted correctly. 

 3.Gimbal clamp has been removed. 

 4.Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn.

camera preview page. 
 4.Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and 

is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will 

require more careful flight. Execute the CSC command to start motors. 

 5.Push the throttle up slowly to take off. Refer to Remote Controller Operationfor more 

details. 

 6.Shoot photos and videos using the DJI VISION App. Refer to DJI VISION App Usage

seconds or more until the motors stop.

Granting this exemption would be in public interest to enhance services provided to the public.

I currently a Realtor, and a Maintenance Technician for a local remodeling company. I would 

like to Take aerial photography for my listings (residential or commercial), and for work I would 

like to take aerial photography of both residential and commercial properties and projects. So 

Aerial data collection is what I would utilize my quadcopter for. 

I currently have a DJI Phantom 2 Vision +
