RE: Exemption Request under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 11 

of the Federal Aviation Regulations from certain parts of.the Federal Aviation. 

Regulations. 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to the Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the 

"Reform Act") and 14 C.F.R Part 11, Northern Lights Media, Inc. ("Petitioner"), a 

company that owns and operates broadcast television station KTUU-TV and 

broadcast production services facilities, hereby applies for an exemption from 

certain Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") to allow for commercial operation of 

a small Unmanned Aircraft System ("UAS') under the conditions, terms, and 

limitations set forth in this Petition. 

Petitioner is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to 

provide broadcast television service in Alaska, has its main studios in Anchorage, 

AK, and wishes to better fulfill its obligation to serve the public of South Central 

Alaska and beyond with news, programming, and information though the use of a 

small UAS for aerial photography to be used fQr production of commercials, 

informational and promotional videos, and news gathering. 

Please consider this Petition pursuant to the FAA's "summary grant process" as 

announced by the FAA in April of 2015. Approval of this exemption would thereby 

enhance safetY and fulfill the FAA Administrator's responsibilities to " ... estaolish 

requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the National Airspace 

System "NAS")." (Section 333 ( c J of the Reform Act.)

FARs from which the exemption is requested 

Petitioner seeks relief from the following FARs: 

14 C.F.R. §§ 61.23(a) and (c) 

61.101(e)(4) and (5) 

61.113(a) 

61.315(a) 

91.7(a) 

91.119(c) 

91.121 

91.151(a)(1) 

91.405(a) 

91.407(a)(1) 

91.409(a)(l) and (2) 

91.417(a) and (b) 

A level of safety at least equal to that provided by the each rule can be maintained 

after such exemption, as explained below. 

Background and the Federal Aviation Modernization and Reform Act 

This Petition is submitted to fulfill Congress' goal under Section 333(a) through (c) 

of the Reform Act, which directs the Secretary of Transportation to consider 

whether certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the NAS before 

completion of the rulemaking required under Section 332 of the Reform Act. In 

making this determination, the Administrator must determine which types of UASs 

do not create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public or pose a threat to national 

security in light of the following: 

• The UAS's size, weight, speed, and operational capability; 

• Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and populated areas; 

and 

• Operation of the UAS within visual line of sight of the operator. 

(Reform Act§ 333 (b)(1)). 

If the Administrator determines that such vehicles "may operate safely 

2 
in the national airspace system, th~ Secretary shall establish requirements for the 

safe operation of such aircraft in the national airspace system. (Reform Act §333(c).) 

The Secretary has delegated his aviation authority to the Administrator of the FAA. 

The Federal Aviation Act expressly grants the FAA the authority to grant exemptions 

from its regulatory requirements for civil aircraft, a term defined under §40101 of 

the Act, which includes UAS. The Administrator may grant an exemption from a 

requirement of a regulation prescribed under subsection (a) or (b) of this section or 

any sections 44702-44716 of the Federal Aviation Act if Administrator finds the 

exemption in the public interest. 

Intended Use 

Petitioner is licensed to operate television station KTUU-TV, an NBC Television 

Network affiliate, and related broadcast and online services. In addition, petitioner 

broadcasts a second digital channel signal for the Justice Network and produces 

original programming for national cable networks on coverage of extreme Alaska 

sports. KTUU-TV serves the Anchorage, Alaska television Designated Market Area 

(DMA). In its course of business, Petitioner produces video productions that include 

television commercials, promotional messages, community service and public 

service announcements, including those for charitable organizations, as well as 

news and weather broadcasts including information about local 

newsfweatherjsports events, businesses, community development, and 

governmental activities. Petitioner wishes to best serve the public, its clients, and 

charitable organizations with video information and services that most effectively 

"tell the story," and a UAS may enhance the ability to show and document 

commercial and news information that is not as effectively shown in other views. 

Petitioner has a DJI Phantom 2 Vision with video and still camera image gathering 

capability, which employees have operated on a recreational and hobby basis. 

Petitioner now wishes to use it for commercial purposes under the terms of this 

Petition, per terms and limitations that may be set forth in an FAA grant of 

exemption, and under the "blanket CO A'' (pursuant to FAA information released 

March 24, 2015), or such other COA as Petitioner may later seek. 

Extent of Relief, Reasons Such Relief is Requested, and Equivalent Level of 

Safety 

CFR § 61.23(a) and (c) Medical Certificates 

Sections 61.23(a) and (c) address the requirement of medical certificates for pilots. 

Section 61.23(c) permits the holder of a sport pilot certificate to act as PIC of a lightsport aircraft (land plane maximum takeoff weight 1,320 pounds, seating no more 

than two people) with either a medical certificate or U.S. issued driver's license. The 

Petitioner's UAS weighs about three pounds, and carries no people. Petitioner 

requests exemption from 61.23(a) upon a finding that an equivalent level of safety 

will be provided by allowing UAS operation by pilots with valid U.S. state-issued 

3 
driver's license or an FAA-issued medical certificate. Petitioner also requests relief 

from 61.23 (c) to allow sport pilot certificate holders to operate aircraft other than 

LSA with a U.S. issued driver's license. 

CFR §§ 61.101(e)(4J aud (5). 61.113(a). aud 61.31S(a): Pilot Privile&es 

Sections 61.101 (e)(4) and (5) and 61.113(a) limit recreational or private pilots to 

noncommercial operations. Section 61.315(a) addresses the privileges and 

limitations of the holder of a sport pilot certificate. Unlike a conventional aircraft 

that carries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, Petitioner's UAS is remotely operated 

with no pilot, passengers or property of others on board. The aircraft employs 

many automated features, such as GPS location hover, autonomous return to launch 

point, low-battery auto-land, and lost-control-link auto-land. Additionally, safety 

will be further assured in that Petitioner assures any UAS operator will have 

appropriate training and currency, in order to safely operate the UAS in a manner 

consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this Petition, including evasive 

and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, 

vessels, vehicles and structures. Given its size, speed, operational capabilities, and 

lack of combustible fuel, and the UAS pilot training of the Petitioner, the risk 

associated with this UAS operation, as compared to the risk of commercial 

operations contemplated by Part 61 with conventional aircraft (fixed wing or 

rotorcraft) is minimal, allowing operations of the UAS as set forth in this Petition 

that are equivalent to, or exceed, the present level of safety provided under the F ARs 

cited above and do not rise to the level of requiring a commercial pilot to operate 

the aircraft. 

14 CFR § 91.7 (a) Civil Aircraft Airworthiness 

As there will be no -standard airworthiness certificate for the aircraft, should this 

exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining 

airworthiness. Given the size of the aircraft, and use of manufacturer-recommended 

operational and maintenance procedures, as well and pre-flight checklists prior to 

each flight, an equivalent level of safety will be provided. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitudes 

Section 91. 119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft including 

limiting flight over other than congested areas to an altitude of 500 feet above the 

surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas, and other than for 

takeoff or landing. Petitioner's UAS operation will be limited to a maximum height 

above the average terrain of 400 feet, and because its photography and aerial data 

collection gathering function is niost functional at altitude below that, an exemption 

from Section 91.119(c) is needed. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved 

given the size, weight, speed, and material with which the UAS is built. Petitioner 

has noted that training and currency of UAS pilots will be conducted, and operator 

will adhere to terms and limitations that the FAA may set forth in granting this 

Petition. It must be further noted that Petitioner has used manned aircraft and 

rotorcraft for aerial photography in the past, so FAA authorization for Petitioner to 

conduct photo flights with UAS may replace need for manned rotorcraft that weigh 

4 
thousands of pounds, may carry hundreds of pounds of combustible fuel, carry 

people on board, and can pose substantial risk in their operation to those on board 

or below, in the unfortunate event of an aircraft failure or mishap. Waiver of this 

rule for UAS operations thus assures an equivalent level of safety, and in fact may 

enhance safety when compared to operations of conventional aircraft or rotorcraft 

used to fulfill similar needs. 

14 CFR § 91.121 Altimeter Settings 

The regulation requires a person operating an aircraft to maintain altitude by 

reference to an altimeter set to the elevation of the departure airport or an 

appropriate altimeter setting available before departure. The UAS does not have a 

barometric altimeter, nor does it have a pilot aboard to read an altimeter, if it had 

one. The UAS does have an altitude readout on its control display, calculated 

continuously based on GPS data. An equivalent level of safety is achieved by the 

operator confirming GPS data is received properly prior to flight, confirming current 

altitude accuracy either in relation to the surface or the elevation of the launch 

location, and monitoring altitude during flight. 

14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions 

This regulation prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under 

VPR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is 

enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal 

cruising speed- (1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At 

night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes." The batteries powering the UAS 

provide approximately 25 minutes of powered flight. Without an exemption from 14 

C.P.R.§ 91.151, the UAS's flights would not be possible. Given the limitations on its 

proposed operations and the location of those proposed operations, Petitioner 

believes an exemption from 14 C.P.R.§ 91.151(a) is safe and within the scope of 

prior exemptions. Operating the small UAS without 30 minutes of reserve fuel does 

not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151 (a) was meant to prevent given 

the size, speed, an limited line-of-sight distance from pilot under which the UAS 

operates . The fact that it carries no pilot, passenger, or cargo also enhances its 

safety. In the unlikely event that the UAS achieves a low battery state, it would 

simply return to home and land. Given its weight and construction material, the 

risks are less than contemplated by the current regulation. Petitioner believes that 

an equivalent level of safety can be achieved by maintaining five minutes of reserve 

battery life, which would be more than adequate for aircraft return to its planned 

landing zone from anywhere in its planned operating area. 

14 CFR § 91.405 (a). 14 CFR § 91.407 (a) (1). 14 CFR § 91.409 (a) (2). 14 

CFR § 91.417 (a) and (b) Maintenance Inspections 

Section 91.405(a) requires that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that 

aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required 

inspections, except as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies 

repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter ... ". Section 91.407 similarly makes 

reference to requirements in Part 43; Section 91.409(a)(2) requires an annual 

5 
inspection for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. Section 91.417 (a) 

requires the owner or operator to keep records showing certain maintenance work 

that has been accomplished by certificated mechanics, under Part 43, or licensed 

pilots and records of approval of the aircraft for return to service. Maintenance and 

preventive of the Petitioner's UAS will be accomplished by the owner/operator or 

proficient technicians, pursuant to the manufacturer's maintenance guidance and 

instructions. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because the UAS is small 

in size, will carry only aerial data collection equipment, and carries no people, 

property of others, or combustible fuel, and will operate in conformance with this 

Petition and as the FAA may set forth in any grant of exemptions. The operator will 

ensure that the UAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform preventive 

maintenance and required maintenance, and keep a log of any maintenance that is 

performed; moreover, the operator and its personnel are the persons most familiar 

with the aircraft and are best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy 

condition. An equivalent level of safety will be maintained with the grant of 

exemptions from these rules, as the FAA has done in its grants of numerous prior 

exemptions. 

Grant of Exemption Serves the Public Interest 

Petitioner operates a broadcast television station and TV production facilities, and 

serves the public with commercial messages, information in support of charitable 

organizations, provides information from local governments and organizations, and 

provides news, weather and sports information to hundreds of thousands of people 

within its stations' viewing areas. KTUU is, and has been, for quite some time, the 

most-viewed television station in its market area, reaching over 150,000 households 

in the DMA and another 50,000 homes in over 244 rural communities in distant 

non-DMA areas served by TV translators and satellite. Permitting commercial 

operation of the Petitioner's UAS to enhance all these functions will serve the public, 

governments and public agencies, charitable organizations, businesses and the 

many other types of organizations that rely on broadcast/ cable television for 

messages and critical information. 

Grant of Exemption Would Not Adversely Affect Safety 

Petitioner has set forth above how exemptions from the regulations specified can be 

done while maintaining a level of safety equal to, or better than, that provided by the 

rules noted. 

Petitioner notes that it will operate in the safest manner possible. It has on its staff 

FAA certificated private pilots who will be trained in the operation of the UAS so 

that they may advise, assist, or operate the UAS. It has other experienced UAS pilots, 

who among them have years of accident-free UAS flight experience, operating for 

hobby or recreation, who will participate in training and operations, and whom the 

operator will consider supporting if they choose to obtain FAA pilot certification. 

6 
And it has, and will further refine, checklists for safe operation and maintenance of 

the aircraft, and will maintain appropriate flight logs. 

UAS Aircraft 

Petitioner's aircraft is a Phantom 2 Vision, which has a maximum speed of about 35 

mph, and normal weight, with battery, of under 3 pounds. Aircraft has available 

optional DJI Prop Guards, which can further enhance its safety when operating near 

people. Downlinks for video information are supplied to a Wi-Fi-enabled device 

such as a smartphone or IPad. All software and firmware is up to date. All 

frequencies used by the UAS comply with Federal Communications Commission 

requirements. 

Operator and its pilots rely on, for its operations and flight procedures: 

Phantom 2 Vision User Manual (EN) v1.8 

Phantom 2 Quick Vision Quick Start Guide (EN) vl.O 

Smart Flight Battery Safety Guidelines (EN, FR, DE and JP) 

Phantom 2 Vision Pilot Training Guide v1.0 

The most up-to-date versions of the manuals are available online (User Manual and 

Specifications included as appendices with this Petition): 

All current operating and training documents and relevant information from DJI are 

downloadable here: 

https://www.dji.com/productfphantom-2-vision/download 

Detailed specifications for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision are here: 

https://www.dji.com/productfphantom-2-vision/spec 

Video is recorded on a mini-SD card built into the camera. The recording device is 

controlled through the smartphone based app. The cell phone can mount to the 

main device controller and not only allows control of the record function but 

provides information about battery life, speed, direction, altitude, and connection 

status. Or, the Smartphone display and functions may be used separately from the 

main controller by another participant in the flight operation. Frequencies used for 

this device comply with FCC rules. 

Additionally, DJI on its website provides numerous other safety, operational, and 

airspace informational items, which will be reviewed continually by the Operator. 

Aircraft will be registered per FAA guidelines and any requirements pursuant a 

grant of exemption, marked with the registry number on the aircraft, and pertinent 

airworthiness and registry documents will be maintained per the FAA's 

interpretation letter on this subject dated August 8, 2014, or any such applicable 

guidance in a grant of exemption. 

7 
UAS Operations Procedures and Safety Considerations 

The PIC will complete a pre-flight planning and checklist prior to flight: 

• Verify daytime operation and VFR weather conditions, wind within 

acceptable parameters. 

• Verify flight is in compliance with any local laws or limitations. 

• Cross reference area of flight with map to ensure compliance with flight 

environment requirements, including compliance with airspace limitations 

per charting, COA, or Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR). Services such as 

FAA app B4UFly (beta released Sept 2015, not yet operational), UAV Zones 

or Drone Buddy will be consulted. 

• Check area of flight to ensure there are no people (except participating and 

authorized individuals) within any specified limiting distances of anticipated 

flight 

• Review flight environment with visual observer noting any obstacles or 

anticipated over-water operations. 

• Ensure remote controller, battery and any additional batteries, Range 

Extender (if used) and smartphone or tablet are fully charged. 

• Ensure propellers are mounted correctly, and check aircraft integrity. 

• Ensure gimbal clamp and camera lens cover has been removed. 

• Ensure damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. 

• Ensure anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. 

• Calibrate compass. 

• On startup, ensure motors are functioning as normal. 

• Verify operational control link. 

• Verify GPS signal reception, and position and altitude accuracy. 

• Conduct functional check of UAS upon first lift-off before continuing flight. 

Abort flight if any deficiency is noted. 

This preflight checklist will be modified and adjusted pursuant to any applicable 

limitations or check items that may be set forth by the FAA in the grant of this 

Petition. It may be further modified to become standardized with the flight 

operations documents created by other business units associated with this 

Petitioner, which are also expected to be applying for regulatory relief to 

commercially operate UAS under Section 333. 

Pilot and visual observer will review respective responsibilities in advance of flight, 

assuring line-of-sight with the aircraft will be maintained, and assuring that visual 

observation and flight control is maintained even as any photography ;aerial data 

collection is conducted. Operator is prepared to abort flight in the event of any 

anomaly, and will keep the "auto-land" and "auto-return" features of the aircraft 

active, to safely assist with any loss of control link, battery power shortfall, or other 

unanticipated issue. 

8 
The terrain of Alaska is well known for its coastal and inland mountains, glaciers, 

and lakes and rivers. The terrain in the immediate Anchorage area includes coastal 

flatlands, and inlets and bays, with mountain ranges to the east and south. 

Petitioner is well aware that terrain must be considered in planning its flights, as 

well as changeable wind and weather that can affect the area. Petitioner is aware of 

the public, military, and private airports in this region of Alaska, and while UAS 

flight at 200 feet or below above the surface, per the blanket COA, is unlikely to 

affect flight of any manned aircraft, Petitioner will be sensitive to airport and 

airspace considerations, including boundaries of Class C and Class D airspace as it 

relates to ANC Airport, and provide notification to FSDO or other FAA/airport 

personnel where appropriate, and file for alternative COA, if a planned flight 

requires such. 

It should be further noted that, as an FCC licensee, the ownership credentials and 

business operations of this Petitioner are regularly reviewed in a licensing process 

of the Federal Communications Commission. Additionally, Petitioner's news 

operation is credentialed by various police agencies in the region. Besides the fact 

that the UAS of the Petitioner is small, can carry only a few pounds of payload, and 

has limited endurance and range, and thus itself poses no credible threat to national 

security, the fact that the operator is vetted by the FCC and by local police agencies 

further assures that this operation poses no security threat. 

The public's safety is additionally served in that any time a UAS replaces the use of a 

conventional aircraft or rotorcraft, there is no risk to people on board, and because 

of the small size and weight of the UAS, and the fact it carries no combustible fuel, 

risk to people or persons on the surface is virtually eliminated. Use of a UAS, as 

compared to conventional aircraft, reduces fuel use, and further saves time, and 

reduces emissions and noise. 

Special Consideration Requests 

Certain of the Petitioner's intents of use ofUAS can be accomplished within the 333 

Exemption grant framework currently in place. However, Petitioner respectfully 

requests that two of the conditions that are now normally included in 333 

Exemption grants be modified, in order to better meet the public interest, and the 

Petitioner's obligation to provide news and information. 

1) It is requested that the limitation (commonly item 2 7 of grant letters) of 

flight not closer than 500 feet to non-participating persons, vessels, vehicles, and 

structures except in certain narrowly defined circumstances, be modified to permit 

operations closer than that, perhaps with no specific stated limit, particularly since 

the blanket COA limits altitude to 200 feet. It is quite limiting, notably in a news, 

weather, and information presentation role (consider for instance, earthquake or 

tsunami emergency, which can affect Alaska) for Petitioner to provide the expected 

public service and maintain 500 feet separation from persons, vessels, vehicles, and 

structures, particularly with a 200-foot COA altitude imitation. Petitioner's UAS can 

be equipped with optional Prop Guards for further safety to people. Petitioner 

9 
would at all times maintain particular attention to safety in takeoff and landing to 

maintain distance from all non-participating persons, but flight of a 3 pound UAS 

rather than a helicopter provides infinitely less risk to persons and property. An 

equivalent level of safety will be achieved without this limitation. 

2) It is requested that the limitation (commonly item 28 in grant letters), 

specifying flight over private property or controlled-access areas with advance 

permission, not be applied to this grant. Helicopters and fixed wing aircraft are not 

subject to advance permission requirements for flight over private property, nor are 

UAS flights for hobby or recreation. Such flight may be necessary to Petitioner's role 

in serving the public interest; in fulfilling its FCC license mandate; may be quite 

fleeting in nature; and poses virtually no risk to people or property, given the nature 

of the UAS the operator is flying, its technology-driven safety provisions, and the 

care and attention to safety that Petitioner has, and will, apply to its flight 

operations. An equivalent level of safety will be maintained without this limitation. 

Such adjustments may be made to serve the public interest, to enhance Petitioner's 

flexibility, efficiency and effectiveness of its UAS operations, will maintain an 

equivalent level of safety, and can better meet the FAA Administrator's stated 

commitment "to the safe and efficient integration of UAS into the NAS" ("Integration 

of Civil Unmanned Aircraft Systems in the National Airspace System Roadmap"), and 

Congress's objective in Sec. 332 of the Reform Act to attain "safe and routine 

operation of civil unmanned aircraft systems in the national airspace system." 

Summary and Publishing in the Federal Register 

Petitioner believes this Petition may be considered under the FAA's "summary grant 

process" where, as permitted under Section 333 of the Reform Act, the Secretary of 

Transportation may determine if certain low-risk UAS operations can be authorized, 

and can issue a summary grant when it finds it has already granted a previous 

exemption similar to the new request. Petitioner believes that this Petition fits 

directly within the aerial data collection category of Exemption requests, for which 

hundreds of Exemption grants have been issued to date. Given this, Petitioner 

believes that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the Petition in the 

Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and 

any delay in acting on this Petition would be detrimental to the Petitioner. 

If Publication in the Federal Register is deemed necessary, the following is provided.

10 Calibrating the Compass 

IMPORrANT: Ma<e ue to perform the Compass Caibration procedures prior to the first flight . 

------------

The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference which causes !i:Jnorrnat compass data and leads 

to poor flight pertormence or even flight failure Regula' calibration of the compass en!i:Jies the compass to 

perform at itsoptimsi Javel. 

1l.1Callbration Wsmims

interference such as magnettte, pa"king structures, ald steel reinforcement underground. 

DO NOT caryferromagneticrnalerialswithyou during calibration suchaskeysor ceiluler phones 

(3) Compa!S Calibration is very important; otherwise the flight control system will not work properly. 

1l.2 Calibration Procedures

Failsafe mode, rf!ier to the Failsafe Furction lf'ooe 32) for details. 

(2) A low batery capa::lty werning is indicated by the LED flight indicator bliri<ing red slowly or 

rapidly during flight. Refer to the Low Battery level Wa-ning Furction lf'ooe 34) for details. 

(3) Wach the quick stat video about flight for more flight information. 

(4) Airaait and batery performance is subject to environmental fa::tors such as air density and 

temperature. Be very cereful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as 

battery and aircrat performance may be reduced. 

The aircrat will enter Failsafe mode when the comection from the remote controller is lost. The flight control 

!!(stem will aulomaically control the airaat to return to home and land to reduce itiuries or damage. The 

following situaions would mS<e the airaat fail to receive a signal from the remote controller and enter Failsafe 

mode: 

(1) The remote controller is powered off. 

(2) The aircrat has flown oul of the effective cortli1'!JI'Iication range of the remote controller. 

(3) There is an obsta::le obstructing the signal between the remote controller. and the airaait, essentially 

reducing the distance the signal can travel. 

(4) There is interference caJSing a signal problem with the remote controller.
