RE: Section 333 Exemption Request 

Dear Sir or Madam: 

Pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 

(the "Reform Act") and 14 CFR Part 11, David Lamb, seeks an exemption from 

Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") to allow commercial operation of its smallunmanned aircraft systems ("sUASs"), for the purpose of Photography, Videography 

and Data Collection. 

David lamb will utilize the DJI Inspire 1 Professional, Phantom 3, S900 and 

S1000 to conduct business. All of these aircraft have been previously approved for 

Section 333 exemptions and are well-known, heavily used and highly reliable. 

Operational manuals, specifications and pre-flight check list for all the above 

mentioned UAS are attached (see Attachment A, B, C and D). 

Granting a 333 exemption will permit the use of sUASs under controlled 

conditions in airspace that is limited, predetermined, controlled as to access and 

would provide safety for both the public and private sectors. In addition, the 

requested exemption would allow the use of the above noted sUASs to safely 

operate in National Airspace "NAS" that is outlined in Section 333(c) of the Reform 

Act. 

The requested exemption would also support an application for a commercial 

Certificate of Authorization to use the sUASs, described above, so that David lamb will 

be able to conduct business for the following purposes: 

• Aerial photography and videography of commercial, industrial and 

residential real estate 

• Agricultural surveying and mapping 
• Infrastructure inspection for construction and utility businesses of 

wind turbines, cell towers, pipelines and bridge inspections 

• Insurance inspections to assess property condition and damage 

assessment data

Public Interest and Safety: 

David Lamb is committed to safety and willingly participates with local 

schools, police and fire department to aid in education, research and promoting 

community welfare related to operation of its UAS. The operation of these sUASs 

will provide numerous services that would benefit from aerial imaging and data 
collection while enhancing safety by reducing the risks associated with traditional 

aircraft. 

The sUASs noted above do not create a hazard to users of the NAS, the public 

and pose no threat to national security due to: 

• Operation of the UAS in close proximity to airports and regulated areas 

• The VAS's size, weight, speed and operational capability 

• Operation of the UAS within visual line of sight of the operator 

Additionally, flights will be conducted under 400 feet AGL thereby avoiding 

interference with users of the NAS. Flights will be suspended immediately to yield 

right of way to any other aircraft. Geo-fencing will be utilized to contain the UAS 

inside intended area. The test site will be secured and only authorized personnel 

will be permitted in the operating area where possible. 

Please contact me at 706-266-9186 for any questions or concerns. 

Respectfully,
