Scope: Enhance and augment real estate listing videos by using the Phantom 3 Professional Unmanned Aircraft System to conduct aerial photography and videography of real property.

UAV Phantom 3 Professional: The DJI Phantom 3 is a quad

- rotor Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) weighing less than 3 pounds. The Phantom 3 UAS that Jake Coon will be responsible for also utilizes a mobile ground station. The UAS features a safety Return to Home function that in the event of a signal loss, the UAS will return to a preset position and land. The Return to Home feature can also be triggered manually. The remote connects to your phone o r tablet, and a 720p HD view of everything your camera sees as you fly is displayed live. This immersive view streams to you in absolute clarity, enabling safe flying. From takeoff to landing, the Phantom 3 responds to commands while automatically handling the most complex aspects of safe, stable flight.

Request: An exemption from 91.7(a), 91.119, 91.121, 91.151(a), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2) and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) as was granted to Ralph J. Apel in Exemption

No. 11410

Petition: I request an exemption from TITLE 14 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS SECTIONS 61.113 (a) and (b); 91.7 (a); 91.119 (c); 91.121; 91.151 (a); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (1) and (2); 91.417 (a) and (b)

The Ext ent Of Relief that Jake Coon seeks 1. Extent of Relief that Jake Coon seeks regarding Section 61.113 (a) and (b) Private Pilot Privileges and LimitationsRelief from Section 61.113 (a) and (b) is requested to allow a Pilot in Command holding a current Priv ate Pilots Certificate to operate the Jake Coon's Phantom 3. The flight would be complimented by a Visual Observer who, along with the pilot, will maintain Visual L ine of Sight with the

Phantom 3 at all times. All operations conducted will be incidental t o Jake Coon's business. The Phantom 3 is not able to carry passengers. 2. Extent of Relief that Jake Coon seeks in regards to Section 91.7(a) Civil

Aircraft Airworthiness Relief from Section 91.7(a) is requested to allow Jake Coon to determine airworthiness of the Phantom 3. As part of this determination the following

will be adhered to: a. Prior to the Phantom 3's flight the PIC will inspect the UA to ensure it is

in a con dition that will be conducive for a safe flight. The ground control station will be included in the above inspection.

b. Jake Coo n will follow the DJI Phantom 3 ’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection and life limit requiremen ts. c. Jake Coon will comply with all DJI manufacturer Safety Bulletins. 3. Extent of Relief that Jake Coon seeks in regards to Section 91.119 Minimum Safe Altitudes General relief from 91.119 is requested to allow Jake Coon to operate the Phantom 3 at alt itudes not to exceed 400’ AGL over private property at a distance at or greater than 5NM from the nearest airport as depicted on current Aeronautical Charts. Jake Coon also wishes to be granted exemption to operate at an altitude not greater than 50’ AGL ( below tree level) between 1NM and 5NM from the nearest airport as depicted on current Aeronautical Charts.

Jake Coon will adhere to the following in order to maintain an acceptable level of safety associated with operations over private proper ty: (a) Jake Coon will display signs in the immediate vicinity of operations stating: “Aerial Photography In Progress. Use Caution.” (b) Jake Co on will not allow the Phantom 3 to operate at a speed greater than

10kts. (c) Jake Coon will require the UAS op erator (PIC) to be fully trained on the Phantom 3 by adhering to the recommendations contained within the Phantom 3’s operating manual. (d) Jake Coon will have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), a minimum of 25 hours of to tal time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a

multi

- rotor UAS. In addition the operator will have logged a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the make and model UAS that Flying Jake

Coon operate s.(e) Jake Coon will be familiar with and able to m anually institute the

Phantom 3 ’s Return to Home (RTH) feature. This feature aborts a flight operation and automatically returns the UAS to a predetermined GPS safe point. (f) Jake Coon will not operate over private property without first finding a suitable alternate landing spot on the property. (g) Jake Coon will abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents. (h) Jake Coon will utilize a two man flight team consisting of the Pilot in Command (PIC) and a Visual Observer (VO). This team will maintain visual line of sight with the Phantom 3 at all times and remain within hearing of

one another. (i) Jake Coon will not permit flight around ves sels, vehicles and structures without permission from the owner. 4. Extent of Relief that Jake Coon seeks in regards to Section 91.121 Altimeter Settings Relief from 91.121 is requested because the Phantom 3 utilizes electronic

GPS with a barometric sensor

. In order to maintain an equal level of safety that 91.121 requires, the PIC of the Jake Coon's UAS will abort the flight in the events that the UA loses communications with the GPS signal. 5. Extent of Relief that Jake Coon seeks in regards to Section 91 .151(b) Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions Relief from 91.151(b) is requested to the extent that allows Jake Coon to operate the Phantom 3 up to a point (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) that there is enough power to fly at nor mal cruising speed to the intended landing point and land the UA with 30% battery power remaining. 6. Extent of Relief that Jake Coon seeks in regards to Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1), and (a)(2), 91.417(a) and (b) These are all

associated a with Airworthiness certificate Relief from 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), and (a)(2), And 91.417(a) and (b) is requested to the extent that allows Jake Coon to operate the Phantom 3 Quad

- Copter as necessary. These sections are all related to airworthiness

cer tificates of aircraft. There is not currently an airworthiness certificate for small UAS’s. Jake Coon would comply in full to any conditions and limitations that the Administrator would place in order to receive an approved Grant of Exemption.

Public Int erest:Aerial videography for real estate marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, but for small business owners, it's expense has been cost

- prohibitive. Granting this exemption to me would allow me to p rovide this service at a much lower cost. My UAS will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to manned aircraft. The operation of my UAS will minimize ecological damage and promote economic growth by pr oviding information to companies looking to relocate or build in the Salt Lake area.

Conclusion: As set forth herein, Jake Coon seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §

11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), which will permit safe operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS commercially within the Real Estate markets. T he Administrator will be assisting small business by granting this petition. In accordance with the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Jake Coon respectfully requests that the FAA Administrator grants this petition for exemption from

TITLE 14 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS SECTIONS 61.113 (a) and (b); 91.7 (a); 91.119 (c); 91.121; 91.151 (a); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (1) and (2); 91.417 (a) and (b)
