. All these properties will have full permission off the owners and everyone will be fully aware of my presence. Full permission from the venues will be in writing before flying. Staff and people in the area will be made aware of flying. Flights will not be over people or close to be of danger. No flights at night. Rotor blades,. New blades, batteries, UAS will be fully inspected prior to each days flight to make sure it is fully air worthiness, not only for safety but to avoid wrecking the UAS. Regular software and firmware updates and annual equipment maintain by certified hobby dealer to ensure craft is in great operational functionality. A spotter always on hand to look out for people on ground, obstacles in s ky and double the number of eyes on the UAS. The spotter can also direct questions from public to allow full focus of myself whilst flying. I will log any flights from the UAS and make available to FAA when needed. The UAS will be operated below 400 feet and remain clear of surrounding obstacles Wi ll not fly at speed and in a dangerous manner The aircraft will be within visual line of sight at all times Wi ll fly well clear of and will not interfere with manned aircraft operations Wo nt fly within 5 miles of an airport, flying in class b airspace we will contact control towers for permission to fly Wo nt fly near people or stadiums Wo nt fly an aircraft that weighs more than 55 lbs Wo nt be careless or reckless with my unmanned aircraft Radio frequency to com ply with FCC regulations

. Wi ll always have spotter to add an extra set of eyes on the UAS. Always have full permission to video or photography a building, person or property.I Ti m Bayer plan to fly the Draganflyer X4
- C Quadcopter for all my Aerial gigs with the

option of the Inspire 1 quad copter if also granted. 1. The Draganflyer X4
- C has a maximum takeoff weight of less than 3 pounds and thus offers a lightweight, small and compact video platform compared to manned aircraft. T he Draganflyer X4
- C ha s a maximum takeoff weight of 1,155g (2.55lbs) . It has a the following dimensions.

- Wi dth: 47cm (18.5in)

- Length: 47cm (18.5in)

- Top Diameter: 71.1cm (28in)

- Height: 21cm (8.3in) and a maximum speed of: 50km/h (30mph) 2. The Draganflyer X4
- C offers significant safety, noise, emission, security and environmental benefits not available to larger manned aircraft. 3. The Draganflyer X4
- C has numerous safety features such as Failsafe mode, automatic landing should signal between PIC and UAS be interrupted, GPS based altitude and distance locks, Flight Limits function and low battery warnings. Geo location locks so that flights in class A airspace and in restricted areas are not allowed by the App. 4. Operations utilizing the Draganflyer X4
- C will provide a benefit to the general public and serve the public interest by providing the service of aerial photographic images and video to numerous businesses and individuals for considerably less than the previously only available option of utilizing manned aircraft at an equivalent level of safety. The video and images will help with online engagement in a safe way. 5. By offering professional services at a very safe level this should stop Uncertified people carrying out similar j obs unsafely and without the proper experience an d knowledge that I offer from 9 months of Draganflyer X4
- C flying and fully factory trained and certified by Draganfly Innovations. 6. Tim Bayer hereby ask the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for an exemption from part 21 subpart H (§§ 21.171

– 21.199) and §§ 45.23(b), 91.7(a), 91.9(b), 91.103, 91.109, 91.119, 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.203(a) and (b), and Subpart E (91.401

–91.417) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). 14 CFR §§ 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), to the extent necessary to allow th e petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection 7. How this exemption would affect the public as a whole: Low altitude aerial photography and video can provide a more detailed visual perspective of a real estateproperty allowing houses hi dden by trees, behind walls to be show in its full light and

able to sell much quicker, helping the economy. Standard aircraft cannot safely operate below 500 feet and Google Earth satellite images may not show recent changes. The proposed service will p rovide the public with an economical alternative to the noise and safety issues related to low flying aircraft or helicopters while providing a better perspective of the subject property than can be brought by cameras on a rig or low flying aircraft. Area s of public interest can be captured from vantage points previous unable to be obtained, with online engagement 95% visual in modern society this allows people to view and be attracted to new areas and attractions that otherwise they may not have noticed a nd experienced. Businesses will benefit economically as every angle can now be covered in a video to showcase their operations and help increase revenue, jobs and interest in the goods and services on offer. Taking stunning pictures that can be framed an d preserved for ever, a moment lost in history captured forever in an aerial photo, taken low enough and safe enough to give a wow factor. 8. As previously mentioned safety is the first and foremost of our business. Reasons wh y would not adversely affect safety or how would provide a level of safety equal to existing rule: • Applicant has maintained a flight and maintenance log for all ai rcraft from start of ownership. I am prepared to attend any training courses required that may assists in the acquireme nt of an exception to carry out aerial video and photography in a safe and controlled manner. The Draganflyer X4
- C that will be operated by Tim Bayer will be registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft, as well as 14 C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration, and marked in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 45, Identification and Registration Marking. l. The Public Wi ll Benefit From Decreased Congestion Of The NAS. The Draganflyer X4
- C UAVs are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. By reducing the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing t he use of a Draganflyer X4
- C UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safety of life and property in the air and on the ground. Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced.The Draganflyer X4
- C UAVs do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a

reduction of manned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations. 2. The Public W ill Benefit From The Safety And Efficiency Of The Draganflyer X4
- C UAV . Conducting aerial acquisitions with the Draganflyer X4
- C UAS, instead of manned aircraft, will greatly benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric motors, the Draganflyer X4
- C UAV produces no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft th at are typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20
-30 gallons per hour of leaded aviation fuel. The Draganflyer X4
- C UAV , while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution , as the UAs are propelled by battery powered elect ric motors, rather than an intern al combustion engine

. By using the Draganflyer X4
- C UAV to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air and on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. 14 Aside from the lack of flight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the Draganflyer X4
- C UAV (weighing approximately of 1,155g (2.55lbs)

. respectively, at its maximum gross weight with a length of Length: 47cm (18.5in) and width of Length: 47cm (18.5in) , and wi th no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of ap proximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons).
