Mr. Simon Nielsen

CEO Drone Fleet & Aerospace Management, Inc. 606 Venice Boulevard, Suite E Venice, CA 90291

Dear Mr. Nielsen :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition for an amendment. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists any changes to the original conditions

and limitations.

By letter s dated April 23 and June 4, 2015

, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Drone Fleet & Aerospace Management, Inc. (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an amendment to your current exemption . That exemption from §§ 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)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regula tions (14 CFR) allows the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform

aerial data collection. You requested an amendment to conduct closed

- set motion picture and filming and add the Freefly Cinestar 8, DJI Phantom 3, DJI Inspire, AeroVironment Puma AE, PrecisionhAwk Lancaster, AirRobot AR180 and AirRobot AR200, and 3D Robotics Spektre Industrial Multi

- Rotor Aerial Vehicle

.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons

rela tive to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition

in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this pe tition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. T he

unmanned aircraft (s) authorized in the original grant are comparable in type, size, weight, speed and operating capabilities to those in this petition

.2

Airworthiness Certification

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

− 95 in

reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation

has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA

finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Air worthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary.

Our Decision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 11253 remains valid and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority contained

in 49 U.S.C

. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, the operator is granted an amendment to add new aircraft and closed

- set motion picture and filming to its UAS operations.

The operator shall add this amendment to its original exemption.

Conditions and Limitations

All conditions and limitations within Grant of Exemption No. 11253 remain in effect except as follows. Condition No. 1 has been updated to reflect the additional aircraft

. Condition No. 2 has been updated to permit closed

- set motion picture and television filming.

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI S1000, DJI Phantom 2, Drone

- Fleet Carbon Fiber V5

, Freefly Cinestar 8, DJI Phantom 3 , DJI Inspire, AeroVironment Puma AE, PrecisionhAwk Lancaster, AirRobot AR180 and AirRobot AR200, and 3D Robotics Spektre Industrial Multi

- Rotor Aerial Vehicle when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption.

2. Operations for the purpose of closed

- set motion picture and television filming are permitted.3

T his exemption terminates on April 30, 2017 , unless sooner superseded or rescinded.

Sincerely,

/s/
