- Safety/Flight concerns Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, I, Michael Travisano , a board certified professional Photographer for more than 28 years. W ould like to apply for an exemption from the following Code of Federal Regulations (C.F.R) to be allowed commercial operation of lightweight Unmanned Aircraft Systems ( UAS) for aerial imaging and video of homes listed for sale in Ocean and Monmouth Counties in the state of New Jersey requested by the home owner

. For the exemption length of 2 years or the maximum allowed by the FAA. (maximum gross weight 64 ounces , equipped with four rotors that are driven by electric motors powered by batteries, the approximate flight time 10

- 15 mi nutes

. ) A built in ca mera with intent for aerial video and photography to enhance sales and better represent the home for Re al E state marketing purposes

. following an exemption and approval by the FAA. My exemption request would permit operation of ultra

- light weight, unmanned (piloted by remote control) in predetermined areas inside the home owners property lines, away from genera l public, airports, heliports and vehicular traffic, under 300 ft. with a more likely operational envelope of less than 100 ft

. After carefully reviewing, inspecting and examining the area of aerial observation. This would allow for photography within property boundaries of an individual homeowner's real estate listing. I will abide all FAA requirements to ensure this exemption will provide a level of safety at least equal to existing rules and will only operate in a safe environment that is strictly co ntrolled. Away from power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas; and I will conduct extensive preflight inspections and protocols, during which safety carries primary importance. 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 14 CFR § 91.203

. Given the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized, I am asking exemption from 14CFRpart21,Subpart H(Airworthiness Certificates)and§91.203 (a) and (b) (Certifications require d),subject to certain conditions and limitations, is warranted and meets the requirements for an equivalent level of safety under14CFRpart 11 andSection 333of P.L. 112

- 95 (Section 333).14 C.F.R. 45.27(a): Location of marks; non

fixed

-wing aircraft. 14 C.F .R. 45.29 (3) (c)(d)(e)(f)(h): Size of Marks Furthermore I request an exemption from §45.23 Marking of the aircraft because my UAS will not have a cabin, cockpit on which to mark certain words or phrases. Additionally two

- inch lettering will not fit on such a small aircraft with dimensions smaller than the minimal lettering requirement. I understand the need for markings and will mark my UAS in the largest possible lettering by placing the word “Experimental” or assigned number or name (based on a request or ruling by the FAA ) on its fuselage as required by §45.29(f) so that anyone assisting me as a spotter will see the markings. I also ask for an exemption from §§91.405(a),91.407(a)(1), 91.40 9(a)(2) and 91.417(a) and(b) Maintenance inspections may be required and should be granted since they only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. But, as a safety precaution I will perform a preflight inspection of my UAS before each flight a s outlined in his operating documents.14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b): Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command. Under §61.113 (a) and(b) private pilots are limited to non -commercial operations, however I can achieve an equivalent level of safety as achieved by current regulations because my UAS does not carry any pilots or passengers. W hile helpful, a pilots’ license will not ensure remote control piloting skills. The risks of operating a UAS are far less than the risk levels inherent in the comm ercial activities outlined in 14 CFR part61,et seq., I requests an exemption from §61.113 Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations .Regarding UAS operational training, I have experience flying practice flights in a remote control park located in Farmingdal e NJ an area designated for hobbyist for remote control flight. The purpose is to gain familiarization with the characteristics of my UAS’ performance under different temperature and weather conditions. I am aware of a three

-day drone training course in La s Vegas Nevada and would attend if required by the FAA.14 C.F.R. 91.103 (b)(1), (b)(2): Preflight Action If granted an exemption I agree to additional safety procedures including, but not limited to: 1)Keeping my U AS within a radius distance of 1000 feet from the controller to both aid in direct line of sight visual observation. 2)Operate the UAS for 3

- 7 minutes per flight; land my UAS according to the manufacturer’s recommended minimum level of battery power. 3)Ope rate my UAS only within visual line of sight (VLOS). 4)Use the UAS’ global positioning system(GPS) flight safety feature; it hovers and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control.
