local regulatory agency or offlce, nor at an altitude that exceeds 37 feet AGL, and in such a way 

that operations can be safely terminated with a reserve battery power of 30%) maximum charge. 

The DJI Phantom 3 does not carry any ihmmable propellant or tuel. In addition, the CAS can 

maintain 111ght in the event one or more motors fail unexpectedly, and is capabk of 

compensating ftlr engine Joss automatically. The DJI Phantom 3 also possesses the ability to alert 

the PIC to the possibility of a lost link before it occurs. In the event a control link is 

unexpectedly lost, the TJAS is equipped with a failsafe setting \vhich returns the unmanned 

aircraft to a pre-detem1ined, emergency alternate landing zone. 

In the absence of UA.S operat1ons, many of these inspections require the use of a 

low altitudes, which increases the risk of potential collision. Moreover, helicopter inspections 

and data acquisition at: certain locations carry additional risks to the helicopters, its pilots, and 

any other persons on board. Finally, due to the low altitude of inspections and data acquisition, 

the ability of a helicopter to successfully autorotate in the event of engine tl1ilure may be 

suhstantiallv limited. Oiven tht:: small size of the nn Phantom 3. as well as thP restricted env1romnem wnnm wm~.:n propuseo op~:ranons an: w l:'Jc {;onum:tea., rms pennon IoFexempnuiT

(a) Except as provided in§ 91.715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it 

the following: 

(1) An appropriate and current airworthiness certificate. Each U.S. airworthiness 

certificate used to comply with this subparagraph (except a special flight permit, a 

copy of the applicable operations specifications issued under § 2l.197(c) of this

21.197(c), or an authorization under § 91.611) must have on it the registration 

number assigned to the aircraft under part 47 of this chapter. However, the 

airworthiness certificate need not have on it an assigned special identification 

number before 10 days after that number is first affixed to the aircraft. A revised 

airworthiness certitieate havin!! on it an assiened snecial identification numher. that 

has been affixed to an aircraft, may only be obtained upon application to an FAA 

Flight Standards district ofiice. 

(2) An e:I:Iective U.S. registration certificate issued to its owner or, for operation within 

the United States, the second copy of the Aircraft registration Application as provided for 

in§ 47.3l(c), or a registration certification issued under the laws of a foreign country. 

(b) No person may operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by 

paragraph (a) of this section or a special flight authorization issued under§ 91.715 is displayed at 

the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

The DJI Phantom 3 is unmanned, has no cabin, cockpit, pilot station, or other entrances. 

The aircrew is located at the ground control station and no passengers are carried at any time. 

UpTech proposes the following conditions and limitations to its request fbr exemption from 

Sections 91.203(a) and (b): 

8 
To: Docket Operations Page 13 of 91 2016-02-22 21 :02:47 (GMT) 13477101791 From: Michael Bruk 

The documents required by §§ 91.203(a) and (b) shall be kept at the ground control

or other law enforcement official, any time during operation of the UAS. In addition, 

these documents shall be made available within 10 days to any law enforcement officia1 

or agency upon written request. 

C. Relief From 14 C.F.R. Part: 21, Subpart H- Airwortbiness Certificates and 14 C..F.R. 

§9l.203(a)(l) 

UpTech respectfully requests the FAA find, under the Reform Act, that the DJI Phantom 3 

provides a level of safety equivalent to that of aircraft normally used tor the same applications. If 

such a finding is made, no exemption is needed. If, however, the FAA determines that there any 

characteristics of the UAS that fail to meet the requirements of the Refonn Act, an exemption is 

requested and the equivalent folJowing level of safety is proposed. 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

capability. The UAS has a maximum take·-off weight: of 3 pom1ds, will be flown at less than 12 

miles per hour and completely outside controlled airspace. 

Aeri..'ll inspections and data acquisition are currently performed by helicopters, which 

weigh thousands of pounds, carry large loads of fuel, and do not possess the ability to 

compensate for unexpected engine failure. Tuken together '.vith the 10\v altitudes needed to 

conduct these inspections and acquisitions, helicopters cannot conduct operations as safely as a 

UAS. In addition, damage to critical infrastmcture resulting from a helicopters coming into 

contact with a utility lines or other obstructions is far greater than that of the small DJI Phantom 

3. Thus, a UAS operated in a restricted environment, within line-of-sight of the PIC, and under 

the conditions proposed, will be at least as safe as conventional rotorcraft operations.

fur the same reasons identified in the exemption request from 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. 

Identification Requirements 

UpTech seeks au exemption from the aircraft marking and identification requirements 

contained in 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.9(c), 45.23(b) and 45.27(a). 

14 C.F.R.§ 91.9(c), Civil Aircraft Flight Manual, Marling and Placard requirements, 

provides that: No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft unless that aircraft is 

identified in accordance with Pcu1 45 of this chapter. 

14 C.F.R. § 45.23(b), Markings of the Aircraft, states: \Vhen marks include only the

1. Relief Fmm 14 C..F.R. § 91.103: Preflight Action 

UpTech seeks an exemption from 14 C.F .R. § 91.103, which requires a PIC t:o become 

familiar with specific information before each Hight, induding infon:nation contained in the 

FAA-approved Flight Mtmual on board the aircraft. While the PIC will be familiar with all 

information necessary to safely conduct the flight, an exemption is requested to the extent that an 

FAA-approved Flight manual is required. 

Equivalent Safety Measures

J. Relief From 14 C.l~.R. § 91.109(a): Flight Instruction 

UpTcch seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.109(a), which provides that "[n]o 

person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free balloon) that is being used for flight 

instruction unless that aircmft has fully functioning dual controls.'' lJAS' s and remotely piloted 

aircraft, by their design, do not have functional dual controls. Instead, tlight control is 

12 
accomplished through the use of a device that comrnunicates with the aircran via radio wave 

communications. 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

Given the size and speed of the DJI ·Phantom 3, an equivalent level of sale training can 

all persons will remain at a safe distance in the event the UAS experiences any difiiculties during 

Hight instruction. 

K. Relief l'rom 14 C.F.R. § 91.119: l\llnimum Safe Altitudes 

UpTech seeks an exernption from the n1inlmum safe altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 

91.119. Section 91.119 prescribes the minimum safe altitudes under which aircratl may not 

operate, including 500 l'eet above tbe surface and away from any person, vessel, vehicle, or 

structure in non--congested areas. See 14 C.F .R. § 91.119(c). Section 91.ll9(d) allows for a 

helicopter to perform aerial operations at less than those minimum altitudes when it can be 

operated "without hazard to persons or property on the surface," provided that "each person 

helicopters by the FAA." 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

Compared to aerial operations using rotorcrafts weighing far more than the maximum 

weight of the DJI Phantom 3 proposed herein, and given the lack of any intlamtnable fuels, any 

risk associated with these operations is l~1r less than those presently existing with conventional 

uircn~ft ~.\n •~<:Juivl'll•~nt l•~v,!l of <o>~£:>ty will b<o' IH:~hieved g;iv1~n th1! <oi:ze, 'veight, und >:p•:>c'd of th,~ 

DJI Phantom 3 UAS, as well as the locations where its proposed opemtions arc to be conducted. 

In order to avoid any risk to the aircraft, ilight operations will be restricted to 375' AGL or 

below. As set fiJ1i:h in the Manual. the UAS will be operated in a restricted area, away from 

persons or structures not involved in the operation.

UpTech seeks an exemption from 14 C.P.R.§ 91.121, which requires a person operating 

an aircraft to maintain cmising altitude or flight level by reference to an altimeter that is set to 

the elevation of the departure airport or barometric pressure. An exemption is required to the 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety can be achieved if the UAS will be 

operated at 400' or below and \\-ithin visual line-of-sight, in addition to GPS based altitude 

information relayed in real time to the PIC. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS meets or exceeds these 

requirements by use of a GPS system to de-termine its altitude. In addition. a zero altitude 

initiation point will be obtained prior to !light. 

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

Cond.itions 

UpTech seeks an exemption from 14 C.P.R.§ 91.15l(aYs fuel requirements for flight in 

VFR conditions. Section 91.151 states: 

(a) No person may begin a night in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering 

wind and torecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to lly to the first point of 

intended lcmding and, assuming nonnal cruising speed 

(2) At night, to ±1y after that for at least 45 minutes. 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

14 
To: Docket Operations Page 19 of 91 2016-02-22 21 :02:47 (GMT) 13477101791 From: Michael Bruk 

The technological limitations of the DJI Phantom 3's battery power means that no 

meaningfhl aerial operations can be conducted while maintaining a 30 minute reserve. The FAA 

has stated that an equivalent level of safety is achieved if the UAS flight is tenninated with at 

least 25'Yo reserve battery power remaining. UpTech proposes that a1111ights meet or exceed this 

requirement by mandating that the aircralt be safely landed with no less than 30% of battery lite 

remaining. 

N. Relief From 14 C.F.R. § 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(2); 91.417(a) and (b): 

Maintenance Inspections 

UpTech seeks an exemption from the maintenance inspection requirements contained in 

14 C.F.R. § 91.405(~).. Ql.407(a)(l), 91.40Q(~)C2); 91.417(~) and (b). Th•~<>l:' reg1.1lMions Spt:"t::'it)r 

maintenance and inspection standards in reference to 14 C.F.R. Part 43. See, e.g .. 14 C.F.R. § 

91.405(a) (stating that. each owner or operator of an aircraft "[s]hall have the aircraft inspected as 

prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections ... have discrepancies 

repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this chapter''). An exemption to these regulations is needed 

because Part 43 and these sections only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, which 

the UAS will not have. 

Equivalent Safety Measures 

An equivalent level of safety will be achieved because maintenance and inspections will 

be perf{ur:ned in a':cordance with the DJI Ph~ltom 3 I\bnuf:.tch.1rer1E: .?vl:anual, ~l£ r!Oiferenced in the 

Operations Manual. As provided in the Operations Manual, ±lights will not be conductt.-d unless a 

pre-flight operations checklist is performed that includes all of the aircraft's components. The 

Operations Manual also sets requirements tor maintenance log hooks and record keeping, as \vcll 

as routine and post-flight maintenance. The Manual sets requirements for both annual 

maintenance and preventative maintenance based on hours of night. In addition, lJptTech has 

developed proprietary software that logs maintenance and inspection for record keeping, 

including the dates of inspection and dates and details of repairs. A screenshot of said proprietary

0. Relief From 14 CFR § 61.113: Private Pilot l,rivileges And Limitations 

UpTech seeks an exemption from 14 CFR § 61.113, which restricts private pilot 

certificate holders fto:n1 ±lyi11g aircraft fot compensation or hire, and ·,voi.dd also require a C1ass II 

medical certificate. The purpose of Part 61 is to ensure the skill and competency of any PIC 

matches the ain;pace in which the PIC wi11 be operating, a..;; well as requiring certifications if the 

private pilot carries passengers or cargo for hire. In this case, while the UAS will be operatt.-d as 

part of a commercial operation, it carries neither passengers nor cargo. In the Grant of 

Exemption in FAA Docket No. FAA-2014-0352, the FAA determined that the unique 

characteristics ofUAS operation outside of controlled airspace did not "·varrant the addition cost 

and restrictions attendant with requiring a PIC to have a commercial pilot certificate and Class II 

medical certificate.

VII. GRANTlNG UPTECH 'S REQUEST WOULD BENE.FIT PUBLIC INTEREST 

UpTech submits this Petition to provide safe, efficient, and economical aerial inspection, 

data acquisition, and research throughout areas of the United States, in support of govermnent 

l;;lltlllt::s, ttgrl.t:ultui.·..:, st:lt:mlllt: stulllc:s, w lttlllft uJuullurlitg, Jlm:::stry, tllc un, gi;!.S, wul t:lt..-c.u·J.,;ttl 

utility industries, and other utilities and commercial operations that require aerial inspection and 

data acquisition. The specific operations proposed by Up Tech, with the use of the DJI Phantom 

3, wilJ directly benetit these industries, as well as the public. 

A. UpTech's Proposed UAS Operations Will Benefit the Public by Decreasing 

Congestion of the NAS, Reducing Noise and Air Pollution, Increased Safety of Life 

and Property, and Reliel'ing the Burden on Air Traffic Control. 

Compared to the cabin class, six -cylinder internal combustion twin engine aircrafts that 

use 20-30 gallons per hour of ]eaded aviation fuel, the D.H Phantom 3 uses battery power and 

electric motors, which produce no air pollution, thereby comp1ete1y eliminating the carbon 

footprint of aerial inspections and data acquisition. The Dll Phantom 3 motor is barely audible 

during take-orr. and cannot be heard when operating more than 100 feet above ground JeveJ. 

Thus, UpTech's proposed aerial operations Vrill signifkantly reduce, and nearly eliminate, noise 

pollution commonly associated with aerial inspections conducted by helicopter. The DJI 

Phantom 3 is a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally 

utilized to conduct aerial inspections and data acquisition. 

and has no fuel on board. Thus, the potential for collateral damage to life and property on the 

17 
20113 02 22 21:02:1!7 {GMT) 

ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircrdft that typically conduct aerial inspection, 

will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. 

An exemption allowing the use of a DJI Phantom would decrease NAS congestion and 

provide a substantial benetit to the public in the form of reduced quantity and size of manned 

aircraft, reduced noise and air pollution, increased safety in the air and on the ground, and reduce 

air traffic control's responsibilities regarding ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing 

phases of traditional flight operations. 

B. Aerial Inspections with the DJI Phantom 3 will Benefit the Economy 

With the rising cost of aviation fuel and EPA actions phasing out leaded fuels, U.S. 

companies are searching for aJtemative technology to remain competitive. Up Tech, by use of the 

DJI Phatom 3 UAS, seeks to provide an economically sow1d altemative to aerial inspections 

conducted by manned aircraft and will allow U.S.-based companies to remain competitive, 

provide greater job stability to employees and contractors, and ultimately contribute to the

through UpTech's proposed commercial use of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, provides a stable 

workforce that increases consumer spending, thereby increasing ta.x revenues tor local, state, and 

federal governments, 

The DJI Phatntom 3 UAS will operate only in rural areas, and in accordance with all 

Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 

91.119. rn the alternative, and pursuant to this petition, UpTech wi11 operate the DH Phantom 3 

in a manner that meets or exct>eds FAA regulations. In addition, the DJI Phatntom 3 UAS will 

not be operated closer than 500 feet to any third-person, vessel, vehicle, or structure, except 

when necessary for takeoff or landing.

In accordance with Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Relbnn Act of2012 and 

14 C.F.R. § 21.16 entitled Special Conditions, UpTech requests that the Administrator prescribe 

any and all special conditions for intended operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which contain 

such safety standards as the Administrator may deem necessary to establish a level of safety 

equivalent to that established by Section 21.185, and which will pennit safe operation of the DJI 

Phantom 3 for the Proposed Use over areas of the United States. Section 333 sets forth the 

requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users of the NAS or the 

public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security; and further, provides the authority for such 

UAS to operate without airworthiness certification in accordance with any requirements that 

must be established for the safe operation of the unmanned aircraft systems in the NAS. 

Likewise, the Administrator may prescribe special conditions pursuant to 14 C.F.R. 

C.F.R. Part 21 do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards, due to the novel or 

unusual design features of the unmanned aircraft. Section 21.16, entitled Special Conditions, 

states the following: 

'"If the FAA finds that the airworthiness regulations of this subchapter do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards for an aircraft, aircraft engine, or propeller

standards for the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller as the FAA finds necessary to 

establish a level of safety equivalent to that established in the regulations." 

Therefore, in accordance with Section 333 and 14 C.F.R. § 21.16, the FAA may prescribe 

special conditions for UpTech's intended operation of the DJI Phantom 3 VAS, which contain 

such safety standards that the Administrator finds necessary to establish a level of safety
