Exemption No. 12883

Regulatory Docket No. FAA−2015−2289

Mr. Curtis Cox

Owner / President

CLC Photography/Videography

115 Cedar Ridge Road

Dalton, GA 30721

Dear Mr. Cox:

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 letters posted to the public docket on June 16, 2015; and June 22, 2015; and by letter dated 

July 7, 2015; you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of CLC 

Photography/Videography (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an exemption. The 

petitioner requested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct videography 

and photography.

See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing 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 is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Phantom 3.

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112−95 in 

reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited 
2

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, Certification 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 collection1. The FAA has issued grants of 

exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. 

In Grants of Exemption Nos. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 

11109 to Clayco, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see

Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. 

FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned 

aircraft (UA) with the specifications described 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 interest. 

Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, 

delegated to me by the Administrator, CLC Photography/Videography 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 limitations listed 

below.

 

1 Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard the UA. 

Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.), electronic measurement (precision surveying, RF 

analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (particulate measurement, etc.), or any other gathering of data by 

instruments aboard the UA.

Conditions and Limitations

In this grant of exemption, CLC Photography/Videography is hereafter referred to as 

the operator.

Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be 

grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI Phantom 2 

Vision+ and DJI Phantom 3 when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. 

Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to 

amend this exemption.

2. Operations for the purpose of closed-set motion picture and television filming are 

not permitted. 

3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The 

exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine 

compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at 

airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the 

aircraft manufacturer.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level 

(AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL.

5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. 

This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than 

corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA-issued airman medical certificate or 

U.S. driver’s license.

6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within 

the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used 

to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS 

capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times; 

electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC 

must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the 

duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties 

required of the VO.

7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its 

operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this grant of 

exemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating 

documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the 

Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and 
4

limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, 

the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed. 

Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating 

documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the 

operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised 

documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The 

operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension 

or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update 

or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then 

the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s 

UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding 

updates or revisions to the operating documents.

8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation 

or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo 

a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. 

Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at 

least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such 

a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property.

9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is 

in a condition for safe operation.

10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre-flight inspection and determine the 

UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre-flight inspection must account for all 

potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the 

inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is 

prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the 

UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight.

11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, 

replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and 

aircraft components.

12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer 

safety bulletins.

13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, 

commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a 

current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a 

state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal 

government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requirements specified in 

14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.
5

14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the 

ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be 

operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and 

maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC 

qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 

14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs 

(training, proficiency, and experience-building) and determining the PIC’s ability to 

safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated 

under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However, 

training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During 

training, proficiency, and experience-building flights, all persons not essential for 

flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA 

with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.

15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All 

operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights 

under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.

16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as 

denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not 

denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current 

FAA-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s 

management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption 

holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available 

to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet 

horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA must return to a 

pre-determined location within the private or controlled-access property.

19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast 

weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the 

intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve 

power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.

21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All 

operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO-issued COA. The 

exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct 

operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA.
6

22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial 

number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification 

(N−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must 

be as large as practicable.

23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and 

any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the 

PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. 

These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement 

official upon request.

24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and 

activities at all times. 

25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 

26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating 

persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons 

from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure 

that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises 

where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of 

the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety 

of nonparticipating persons; and

b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission 

for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of 

the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not 

present an undue hazard.

The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered 

nonparticipating persons under this exemption.

27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with 

permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. 

Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be 

obtained for each flight to be conducted.

28. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical 

boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported 

to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be 

reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions 

contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov.

without incident.

BACKGROUND

Unmanned Aircraft Systems: DJI Phantom 3, UAS

CLC Photography/Video seeks an exemption to operate DJI Phantom 3 system for compensation or 

hire within the NAS. The DJI Phantom 3 is vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft 

(UA) with a Ground Control Station (GCS) utilizing electronic tablet or smart phone systems. The DJI

Phantom 3 has a maximum gross weight of approximately 2.8 lb. while having a diagonal dimension of 

23.2”, a maximum speed of approximately 16.4’fps and a maximum flying height of 400'. The DJI 

Phantom 3 is equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electric 

motors. 

4
The DJI Phantom 3 that will be operated by CLC Photography/Video will be registered in accordance 

with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft, as well as 14 C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration, and 

marked in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 45, Identification and Registration Marking.

BASIS FOR PETITION

Petitioner, CLC Photography/Video, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 

C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special 

Rules for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially

operate the DJI Phantom 3, UAS in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from 

the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 

91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).

In consideration of the speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned 

aircraft and its operation, CLC Photography/Video operation of DJI Phantom 3 UAS meets the 

conditions of FMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in 

accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

Accordingly, CLC Photography/Video requests relief from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 

91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance 

that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate.

CLC Photography/Video submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety

will be ensured. CLC Photography/Video will use experienced personnel or technicians to perform 

maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and 

practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 

Instruction Manual). Furthermore, CLC Photography/Video will document and maintain all 

maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 UAS.

Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and 

limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by CLC Photography/Video to the extent necessary to allow 

a Pilot in Command (PIC) holding a private pilot or higher level certificate, as well as an airman 

medical certificate, and who has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight hour and currency

requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom UAS in a manner consistent with 

this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances 

from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

CLC Photography/Video seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because 

the DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 

21, Subpart H. As such, CLC Photography/Video submits that they will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 

UAS is in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UAS are in compliance 

with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual), 

and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight. 

5
CLC Photography/Video also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled 

Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. 

However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be provided to the PIC via Global 

Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks 

from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path. This altitude information, combined 

with CLC Photography/Video's operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS within visual line of sight, at or 

below 400 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121.

Additionally, CLC Photography/Video seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.151(b), 

entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. CLC Photography/Video submits that safety 

will not be affected by operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS during daylight hours in visual 

meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for 

a total duration of approximately 23 minutes. Battery power indicators are also able to show exactly 

how much battery power is left, as well as how much time is needed to return safely back to point of 

take off.

In accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 11.81, CLC Photography/Video provides the following information in 

support of its petition for exemption:

C. The Extent Of Relief CLC Photography/Video Seeks And The Reason CLC 

Photography/Video Seeks The Relief.

1. Extent Of Relief CLC Photography/Video Seeks And The Reason CLC Photography/Video 

Seeks Relief From Section 61.113(a) And (b).

Relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in 

command, is requested to the extent necessary to allow a PIC holding a private pilot or higher level 

certificate, as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has met certain flighthour and currency requirements, to conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or 

hire.

This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private 

pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as PIC of an aircraft in connection with any business or 

employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment; and (2) The aircraft 

does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

As set forth more fully below, CLC Photography/Video submits that an equivalent level of safety will 

be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PIC has 

met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, demonstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate 

either the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as described in 

this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate 

distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

Further, CLC Photography/Video submits that all flights of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, conducted by the 

PIC pursuant to the grant of this Petition: (1) will be incidental to CLC Photography/Video's business; 

and (2) will not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. 

10

2. Extent Of Relief CLC Photography/Video Seeks And The Reason CLC Photography/Video 

Seeks Relief From Section 91.7(a).

Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, is requested to the extent required to 

allow The CLC Photography/Video to determine that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are in airworthy

condition prior to every flight by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documents 
(i.e., CLC Photography/Video Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 

3 Instruction Manual).

CLC Photography/Video seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require an 

airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Therefore, CLC 

Photography/Video will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are in airworthy condition based upon its 

compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3) prior to 

every flight, and further, determine that the aircraft are in condition for safe flight, as stated in the 

conditions and limitations below.

3. Extent Of Relief CLC Photography/Video Seeks And The Reason CLC Photography/Video 

Seeks Relief From Section 91.121.

Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings, may be required to allow flight operations of 

the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio 

communications telemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UA to the PIC at the 

ground control station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS 

operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in feet above ground level (AGL), CLC 

Photography/Video seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 3 UA’s altimeter may be set on 

the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitude, before each 

flight.

Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations, relief from 14 CFR 91.121 is sought to the 

extent necessary to comply with the applicable conditions and limitations stated below. As more fully

set forth herein, an equivalent level of safety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are 

equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a 

ground level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude 

information of the UA on the heads-up display of the GCS.

4. Extent Of Relief CLC Photography/Video Seeks And The Reason CLC Photography/Video 

Seeks Relief From Section 91.151(b).

Relief from Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions, is requested to 

the extent required to allow flights of the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS during daylight hours in 

visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 23 

minutes. CLC Photography/Video seeks the requested relief because without an exemption from 

Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration of the 

11

 battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video

 or still photo flight operations that CLC Photography/Video proposes to conduct pursuant to this

 Petition.

 Significantly, as set forth below, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, the DJI

 Phantom 3 operating documents, and CLC Photography/Video's proposed operating limitations,

 ensure that CLC Photography/Video will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 3
 UAS during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules

 (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 23 minutes.

5. Extent Of Relief CLC Photography/Video Seeks And The Reason CLC Photography/Video 

Seeks Relief From Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b).

Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) only apply to 

aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, CLC Photography/Video requests relief from these Sections 

because the DJI Phantom 3 UAS do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully 

below, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333 for operation without an 

airworthiness certificate. Accordingly, CLC Photography/Video will use trained technicians to perform 

maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and 

practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the CLC Photography/Video Aerial 

Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, 

CLC Photography/Video will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 

UAS.

D. The Reasons Why Granting CLC Photography/Video Request Would Be In The Public 

Interest; That Is, How It Would Benefit The Public As A Whole.

Granting the present Petition will further the public interest by allowing CLC Photography/Video to 

safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of construction sites, real 

estate, events and civic landscape over certain areas of the United States.

Additionally, use of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, 

and provide significant benefits to the economy. Notably, the benefits of CLC Photography/Video's

proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be realized without implicating any privacy issues.

1. The Public Will Benefit From Decreased Congestion Of The NAS.

The DJI Phantom 3 UAS are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative 

to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. By reducing the

amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a 

DJI Phantom 3 UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air 

pollution, as well as increase the safety of life and property in the air and on the ground.

12 

 Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion

 around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 3

 UAS do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise, a reduction of manned aircraft

 conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in fewer aircraft that must be

 handled by air traffic control during the ground, takeoff, departure, arrival, and landing phases

 of flight operations.

2. The Public Will Benefit From The Safety And Efficiency Of The DJI Phantom 3 UAS.
Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, instead of manned aircraft, will greatly 

benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during 

traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations. By using battery power and electric 

motors, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally 

conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are 

typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gallons per hour 

of leaded aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS, while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial 

acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAS are propelled by battery powered electric 

motors, rather than an internal combustion engine.

By using the DJI Phantom 3 UAS to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property

in the air and on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight 

operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew 

members located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS (weighing approximately 2.8 pounds at 

their maximum gross weight with diagonal dimension of 23.2 inches, and with no fuel on board), has 

less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the air, compared 

to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds 

with a wingspan of approximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons).

3. Performing Aerial Video and Photography Operations With The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Will 

Benefit The Economy.

In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are also an economical alternative to 

using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 3 

UAS will allow United States based companies, like CLC Photography/Video, to remain competitive 

and contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the 

Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. 

owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in order to remain 

competitive. Operating the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS is one such technology that not only

allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such 

flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraft. 

13

 By operating the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, companies such as CLC Photography/Video can remain

 competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greater job stability to employees and

 contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U.S. economy. Improved financial

 performance of U.S. companies, through commercial use of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, provides a

 stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax

 revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to remain

 competitive both in the United States and abroad.

4. There Are No Privacy Issues.

Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, CLC 

Photography/Video's proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will not implicate any privacy
issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be operated only in compliance with operating 

documents (i.e., CLC Photography/Video Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and 

DJI Phantom 3 Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law 

enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, including the 

minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119.

E. The Reasons Why Granting 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 CLC Photography/Video Seeks Exemption.

1. Reasons Why The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Meet The Conditions Of The FAA Modernization and 

Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) Section 333.

In consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned 

aircraft and its operation, CLC Photography/Video's operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS meet the 

conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 

14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H.

Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth 

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. Specifically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in 

part:

 (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and not later

 than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation

 shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the

 national airspace system before completion of the plan and rule-making required by

 section 332 of this Act or the guidance required by section 334 of this Act. 

14

 (b) Assessment of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.--In making the determination under

 subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimum--

 

(1) which types of unmanned aircraft systems, if any, as a result of their size, weight, speed, 

operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operation within 

visual line of sight do not create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the 

public or pose a threat to national security; and

(2) whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness 

certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the 

operation of unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1). 
(c) Requirements for Safe Operation.--If the Secretary determines under this section that certain 

unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary 

shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national 

airspace system.

In seeking this exemption, CLC Photography/Video submits that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS can operate 

safely in the NAS pursuant to FMRA Section 333, as demonstrated by: (a) the characteristics of the DJI

Phantom 3 UAS; (b) the pilot certification requirement; and (c) the specific operating limitations.

a. The Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Demonstrate Its Safe Characteristics.

The DJI Phantom 3 UAS does not create a hazard to users of the NAS or the public, or otherwise pose 

a threat to national security considering its size, weight, speed, and operational capability

i . Technical Specifications Of The DJI Phantom 3 UAS.

The technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are set forth by the DJI Phantom 3 User 

Manual, attached hereto as Appendix A.

ii. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Global Positioning Modes Enable The UAS To Remain Within

 A Defined Operational Area.

The DJI Phantom 3 UAS may be operated in both manual and global positioning flight modes. A 

complete description of the flight and navigational modes of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS is provided at 

pages 11 of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manual attached hereto as Appendix A.

iii. The DJI Phantom 3 UAS Are Designed For Automatic Return To Home Point Or

 Hover In The Event Of Loss Of The Control Link Or Navigation.

When the Control Link is lost, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will remain stationary, in flight, for 3 seconds 

or more. If, after 3 seconds, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS does not reacquire control link data from the GCS, 

the UAS will assume that the Control Link is lost and the will return to the home position (i.e., failsafe 

mode) via GPS, and will descend to the takeoff position and shutdown.

15

A complete description of the Failsafe Functions of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS are set forth at pages 12 

through 14 of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manual, attached hereto as Appendix A.

iv. The DJI Phantom 3 GCS And Its Operation.

A complete description of the operation and specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 GCS and flight control 

software is provided at pages 23 through 29 of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manual. DJI Phantom 3 User 

Manual is attached hereto as Appendix A.

b. Flight Operations Of DJI Phantom 3 UAS Is Limited To The Line Of Sight Of A Certificated 

Pilot in Command With A Safety Observer.

CLC Photography/Video video production staff will be the only persons to act as a pilot in command 
(PIC) of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS. Additionally, a safety observer will assist him at all times during 

flight time.

c. Flights Of DJI Phantom 3 UAS Will Be Conducted Pursuant To Specific Operating 

Limitations.

In seeking this exemption, CLC Photography/Video proposes to commercially operate DJI Phantom 3 

UAS for the special purpose of conducting aerial video and photography over certain areas of United 

States, pursuant to the following specific operating limitations.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption will be limited to the following aircraft described 

in the operating documents, rotorcraft UAS weighing less than 55 pounds maximum gross weight: DJI

Phantom 3 Unmanned Aircraft Systems. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new 

petition or a petition to amend this grant.

2. UAS operations under this exemption will be limited to conducting operations for the purpose of 

aerial video and photography.

3. The UAS may not be flown at an indicated airspeed exceeding 20 knots.

4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), as 

indicated by the procedures specified in the operating documents unless a special request is made and 

approved by ATC. All altitudes reported to ATC must be in feet AGL.

5. The UAS must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires 

the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified 

on the PIC’s FAA-issued airman medical certificate.

6. The use of first person view (FPV) by the PIC or safety observer (SO) is not permitted.

16

7. All operations must utilize a safety observer (SO). The SO may be used to satisfy the VLOS 

requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The SO and PIC must be able to 

communicate verbally at all times. Electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight 

operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for 

the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the SO can perform the functions prescribed in the 

operating documents.

8. The SO must not perform any other duties beyond assisting the PIC with seeing and avoiding other 

air traffic and other ground based obstacles/obstructions and is not permitted to operate the camera or 

other instruments.

9. The operating documents and the grant of exemption must be accessible during UAS operations and 

made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and 
limitations contained in the grant of exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, 

the conditions and limitations contained in the grant of exemption take precedence and must be 

followed. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. 

The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track 

such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator upon request. The 

operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to 

the grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis 

upon which the FAA granted the exemption, then the operator must petition for amendment to its grant 

of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS-80) may be contacted if questions arise 

regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents.

10. Prior to each flight the PIC must inspect the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe flight. If 

the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited 

from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a 

condition for safe flight. The Ground Control Station must be included in the preflight inspection. All 

maintenance and alterations must be properly documented in the aircraft records.

11. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight 

characteristics, e.g. replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight. 

The PIC who conducts the functional test flight must make an entry in the aircraft records.

12. The pre-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g. inoperable components, 

items, or equipment, not already covered in the relevant sections of the operating documents.

13. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, 

replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements.

14. The operator must carry out its maintenance, inspections, and record keeping requirements, in 

accordance with the operating documents. Maintenance, inspection, alterations, and status of 

replacement/overhaul component parts must be noted in the aircraft records, including total time in 

service, description of work accomplished, and the signature of the authorized person returning the 

UAS to service.

17

15. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer Safety Bulletins.

16. The authorized person must make an entry in the aircraft record of the corrective action taken 

against discrepancies discovered between inspections.

17. The PIC must possess at least a private pilot certificate and at least a current third class medical 

certificate.

18. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC meets the operator’s qualification 

criteria and demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the 

UAS will be operated under the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and 

maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification 

flight hours must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes 
of training the operator’s PICs are permitted under the terms of the exemption. However, training 

operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and 

experience-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered 

nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in 

accordance with 14 C.F.R. § 91.119.

19. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 C.F.R. § 1.1. All operations 

must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). If flight at night is required, a 

special request will be made at the FAA office closest to proposed area of operations. Flights under 

special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.

20. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point as denoted on a 

current FAA-published aeronautical chart unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is 

obtained, and the operation is conducted in accordance with a NOTAM as required by the operator’s

COA. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the 

Administrator upon request.

21. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a 

cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.

22. If the UA loses communications or loses its GPS signal, it must return to a predetermined location 

within the planned operating area and land or be recovered in accordance with the operating 

documents.

23. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance 

with the operating documents.

24. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather 

conditions) there is enough power to fly at normal cruising speed to the intended landing point and land 

the UA with 25% battery power remaining.

18

25. The operator must obtain an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) issued Certificate of Waiver or 

Authorization (COA) prior to conducting any operations under the grant of exemption. This COA will 

also require the operator to request a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) not more than 72 hours in advance, 

but not less than 48 hours prior to the operation. All operations shall be conducted in accordance with 

airspace requirements in the ATO issued COA including class of airspace, altitude level and potential 

transponder requirements.

26. All aircraft operated in accordance with the exemption must be identified by serial number, 

registered in accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 47, and have identification (Number) markings in 

accordance with 14 C.F.R. part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable.

27. Before conducting operations, the radio frequency spectrum used for operation and control of the 

UA must comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or other appropriate 
government oversight agency requirements.

28. The documents required fewer than 14 C.F.R. 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the 

Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the UAS is operating. These documents must be made 

available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.

29. The UA must remain clear and yield the right of way to all manned aviation operations and 

activities at all times.

30. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle.

31. Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons (persons 

other than the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons), vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA

and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons 

remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection 

and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately and/or;

b. The aircraft is operated near vessels, vehicles or structures where the owner/controller of such 

vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the 

risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard, and; 

 c. Operations nearer to the PIC, SO, operator trainees or essential persons do not present an

 undue hazard to those persons per § 91.119(a). 

19

32. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled-access property with permission from 

the land owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from land owner/controller or 

authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted.

33. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the 

operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration 

Office (AFS-80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety 

Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov.

2. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 61.113(a) And (b) Would Not 

Adversely Affect Safety.

CLC Photography/Video submits that the equivalent level of safety established by Section 61.113(a) 

and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless 

that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is 
able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including 

evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, 

vehicles and structures.

Considering CLC Photography/Video’s proposed area of operations, and the operating limitations set 

forth-above; the parallel nature of private pilot aeronautical knowledge requirements to those of 

commercial pilot requirements (See Exemption No. 11062); and the airmanship skills necessary to 

safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, CLC Photography/Video submits that the additional manned 

airmanship experience of a commercially certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills 

necessary for CLC Photography/Video’s specific proposed flight operations.

The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) specific to UAS, in 

circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 

11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 

11158, 11159, 11160, 11161).

CLC Photography/Video will not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PIC has 

demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements or the DJI Phantom 3 UAS training and 

currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner 

consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining 

appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 C.F.R. § 

61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of 5 hours of those hours as 

a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations under the 

exemption). In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in 

the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). 

20 

As in Exemption Nos. 11062, 11138, and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained 

in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent level of safety during CLC 

Photography/Video’s proposed operations. The Administrator has held that prior documented flight 

experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, 

stating as follows:

 In Exemption No. 11062, the FAA required that prior to conducting operations for the purpose of

 motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a

 manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot

 including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi-rotor UAS. Prior to operations

 under Exemption No. 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of 5

 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations

 under the exemption. For clarification, the FAA considers these minimum hour requirements to

 be inclusive rather than additive; i.e. 5 hours make and model time may be included in the 10

 hours of multi-rotor time and the 10 hours may be included in the total 25 hours of UAS
 rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and

 landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds that at a minimum,

 the flight-hour requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build

 proficiency in the skills necessary to safely conduct the petitioner’s proposed operations. The

 FAA also finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with

 applicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Training, proficiency, and experience

 -building flights can also be conducted under the grant of exemption to accomplish the required

 flight time. During training, proficiency, and experience-building flights the PIC is required to

 operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119. 

Exemption No. 11138 at page 15.

Accordingly, CLC Photography/Video will ensure safe operations by not allowing any PIC to operate 

the DJI Phantom 3 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and 

currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 3 UAS in a manner 

consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining 

appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures.

3. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.7(a) Would Not Adversely 

Affect Safety.

The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.7(a) will be maintained because prior to every 

flight, CLC Photography/Video will ensure that the DJI Phantom 3 UAS is in an airworthy condition 

based upon the UAS’s compliance with its operating documents and as stated in the conditions and 

limitations herein.

Additionally, the FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.7(a) specific to UAS, in 

circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 

11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 

11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

21

4. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.121 Would Not Adversely 

Affect Safety.

The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.121 will be maintained because the altitude 

information of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be provided to the PIC via GPS equipment and a radio 

communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of 

the flight path and altitude. This altitude information, combined with CLC Photography/Video’s

operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet AGL, will ensure 

a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121. The altitude information will be generated by GPS 

equipment installed onboard the aircraft. Prior to each flight, a zero altitude initiation point is 

automatically established by the UAS at ground level.

The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.121 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, 

in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 

11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 
11161).

5. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Section 91.151(b) Would Not 

Adversely Affect Safety.

A grant of this exemption would ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 

91.151(b) as a result of (1) the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS; (2) the limitations 

on the proposed flight operations; and (3) the location of the proposed flight operations. Accordingly, 

CLC Photography/Video will ensure that it will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 3 UAS 

during daylight hours in VFR conditions, with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 23 

minutes.

Here, as in Exemption No. 11109, the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS; the 

limitations on the proposed flight operations; and the location of the proposed operations, will ensure 

an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 91.151(b). Furthermore, safety will be 

ensured as the DJI Phantom 3 UAS provide audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS when 

the UAS experiences low battery voltage, the first warning occurring at approximately 33% remaining 

battery power, and again at approximately 15% remaining battery power. At the critically low battery

level, the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will descend and land automatically.

Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Section 91.151 establish that safety

is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations of the UAS are 

considered. Relief has been granted for manned aircraft to operate at less than the minimums prescribed 

in Section 91.151, including Exemption Nos. 2689, 5745, and 10650. Moreover, the FAA has 

previously granted relief from Section 91.151 specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material 

respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 8811, 10808, 10673, 11042, 11062, 11063, 

11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 

11159, 11160, 11161). 

22

6. Reasons Why An Exemption From The Requirements Of Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 

91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & (b) Would Not Adversely Affect Safety.

In seeking this exemption, CLC Photography/Video submits that the equivalent level of safety with 

regard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements established by Sections 91.405(a), 

91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) will be met because CLC Photography/Video

will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UAS 

using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., CLC 

Photography/Video Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 3 

Instruction Manual). Furthermore, CLC Photography/Video will document and maintain all 

maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 3 UAS.

Since the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be inspected as prescribed by the operating documents, CLC 

Photography/Video will maintain the equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.405(a), 

91.409(a)(1), and 91.409(a)(2). A copy of the DJI Phantom 3 User Manuals are attached hereto as
Appendix A ; a copy of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS Maintenance LOG is attached hereto as Appendix B.

Likewise, the exemption sought will not adversely affect safety because CLC Photography/Video will 

use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations or preventive maintenance on the UAS 

using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents.

Furthermore, the exemption sought would maintain an equivalent level of safety established by 

Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maintenance of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS will be 

performed by trained technicians. Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the 

monthly maintenance log.

Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 

91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) establish that safety is not adversely affected when the 

technical characteristics and operating limitations of the UAS are considered.

In consideration of CLC Photography/Video’s proposed operating limitations, the operating documents, 

and the technical aspects of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, CLC Photography/Video submits that safety will 

not be adversely affected by granting exemption from 14 C.F.R. Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1) and 

(a)(2), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b). The FAA has previously granted relief specific to UAS in 

circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 

11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 

11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161).

23

7. The FAA May Prescribe Any Other Conditions For Safe Operation.

In accordance with Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) and 14 

C.F.R. § 21.16 entitled Special Conditions, CLC Photography/Video requests that the FAA prescribe 

special conditions for the intended operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which contain such safety 

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

established by 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, and 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7 (a), 91.121, 

91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b). Such special conditions 

will permit safe operation of the UAS for the limited purpose of conducting aerial video and 

photography over certain areas of the United States for compensation or hire. FMRA 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 UAS in the NAS. 
Likewise, the Administrator may prescribe special conditions pursuant to 14 C.F.R. § 21.16, for 

operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, since the airworthiness regulations of 14 C.F.R. Part 21 do not 

contain adequate or appropriate safety standards, due to the novel or unusual design features of the 

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 because of a novel or

 unusual design feature of the aircraft, aircraft engine or propeller, he prescribes special

 conditions and amendments thereto for the product. The special conditions are issued in

 accordance with Part 11 of this chapter and contain such safety 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.

See 14 C.F.R. § 21.16.

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

special conditions for CLC Photography/Video intended operation of the DJI Phantom 3 UAS, which 

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

equivalent to that established by 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H, and 14 C.F.R Sections 61.113(a) & (b), 

91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) & (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b).
