Re: Exemption request pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act and specified 

parts under 14 CFR, the Federal Aviation Regulations

Dear Sir or Madam:

Specific Sections in which Up And Away Aerial Corp is seeking an exemption:

IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION FOR EXEMPTION OF: UP AND AWAY 

AERIAL CORP FOR AN EXEMPTION SEEKING RELIEF FROM THE 

REQUIREMENTS OF TITLE 14 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS 

SECTIONS 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(1) & 

(a)(2), and 91.417(a) & (b) CONCERNING COMMERCIAL OPERATION OF DJI 

PHANTOM 3 UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS PURSUANT TO SECTION 333 

OF THE FAA MONDERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 2012 (PUBLIC LAW 

112-95)

Extent of relief and our reason for seeking relief:

In order to use our Unmanned Aircraft Systems for commercial use. We are seeking this 

exemption in order to legally conduct business and comply with all Federal regulations 

and standards put forth by the FAA while operating our Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

How our request would benefit the public as a whole:

Granting the petition for Up And Away Aerial Corp would allow for us to be able to 

efficiently, legally, economically, and safely perform aerial video and photography of 

special events, sporting events, land surveillance, real estate, commercial inspections, and 

commercial maintenance over certain areas of these United States. Using Unmanned 

Aircraft Systems such as drone technology would greatly reduce negative impacts on the 

environment and also provide a safer alternative for businesses to conduct land and 

equipment inspections.

Reasons why the exemption would not adversely affect safety, or how the exemption 

would provide a level of safety at least equal to the existing rule:

 By adhering to guidelines set forth by the FAA we would not be going above the 

recommended altitude nor flying at night therefore avoiding any hazardous accidents 

such as colliding with a manned aircraft. 

 The UASs will weigh less than 55 pounds.

 Flights will be operated within line of sight of an operator.
 Airport owners and/or local air traffic control facilities will be contacted and notified 

if operations are forecasted within the designated distance from that airport, pursuant 

to any conditions of COAs issued for commercial UAS flight activities.

 Pre-flight inspections as well as flight logs will be recorded and retained to ensure the 

UASs are in proper working order for each job or event as to prevent damage or 

bodily injury.

Summary to publish in the Federal Register stating --

1. SEEKING RELIEF FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF
