Dear Mr. MacDonald:

This letter is to inform you that we are unable to process your request for an exemption from 

Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). It explains why we can not process your 

request and what you should do in the next 30 days.

Why We Can Not Process Your Request

We entered your March, 23, 2015, exemption request into the public docket (No. FAA-2015-

0707), but we are unable to process your request any further. The information you sent does

not comply with the requirements of § 11.81 (copy enclosed). For us to consider the request 

any further, you must send us all of the following:

 The specific section or sections of 14 CFR from which you seek relief, the extent of the 

relief you seek, and the reason you seek relief.

 The reasons why granting the request would be in the public interest; that is, how it would 

benefit the public as a whole.

 The reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety or how the exemption 

would provide a level of safety at least equal to that provided by the rule from which you 

seek an exemption.

 Any additional information, views, or arguments available to support your request.

What You Should Do

If you want us to process your request any further, you must send the information described 

earlier to reach us within 30 days. Please note that § 11.63(d) requires you to send your 

petition for exemption at least 120 days before the proposed effective date of the exemption.

If We Do Not Hear From You

If we do not hear from you within 30 days, we will close the docket without notifying you 

further. If you have any questions or require additional time, you may call (202) 267-9677.

Sincerely,

/s/

Petition for Exemption/Rulemaking:

I am a hobbyist user of a small drone, as well as a real estate

agent with photography background. I would like to be able to

use the Yuneec Q500 Typhoon Drone (attached specs and

manual) to photograph properties as well as depict views of

building that are to be constructed for marketing purposes. I am

aware of the Model Aircraft Safety Code, as attached, and can

observe all restricted fly zones. On top of direct knowledge of

these restricted fly zones, the Yunnec Q500 has GPS guidance

and warning of approach to any of the restricted areas.
