Exemption No. 11606 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

– 2015

– 0510

Mr. Brian Shannon Aerial Appeal 5114 Grand Phillips L a n e Katy, TX 77450

Dear Mr. Shannon :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends.
By letter dated February 26, 2015 , you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Aerial Appeal ( hereinafter petitioner or operator ) for an exemption

. The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial filming and photography for coverage of events , enhance d real estate listings , and s tructural inspection s

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA des cribing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined 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

.
Airworthiness Certification

The UAS proposed by the petitioner are the DJI F550, DJI Phantom 2, DJI S800 EVO, and DJI Inspire

.

# 2

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of P ublic 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 ert ification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

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

The Basis for Our Decision
You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection

. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption No s

. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. ( see Dock et No. FAA

− 2014

− 0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Lab s , Inc. ( see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications describe d by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest.
Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 ;

 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

 A grant of exemption is in the public interest.

Our Decision
In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public in terest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Aerial Appeal is granted an exemption from 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 the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and lim itations listed below.

set the F ail S afe value to the [Lower] position, so that the landing gear will be in [Lower] st atus when
the receiver enters F ail S afe mode, to land the aircraft safely. (2) To avoid false switch triggering, you can use the slide lever or other trim as the landing gear’s

control switch.Tips

(1) The system will turn off the servo power temporarily within 3 seconds after the landing gear has reached
the target position. (2) When powering on the system, if the Transmitter switch is at the [ Retracted] position, which is the unsafe signal for the landing gear, the LED will quickly flash RED. T oggle the switch to the [ Lower] position. (3) If there is an abnormal signal or no signal input into the [IN] port the LED will slowly flash RED. Please

check the receiver and the connections. (4) If the power consumption of servos is too large during us age , the LED will be solid RED on . If this status

lasts more than 4 second s, the landing gear will lower and the LED will flash GREEN slowly. Please

re
- calibrate the system.
