INTENDED USE:

The requested amendment would allow us to use the UA for aerial image 

acquisition to support various mapping and surveying applications as well as 

video documentation for the public good. Typical applications would include, but 

are not limited to:

• Aerial Photography

• Aerial Surveys

• Volumetric Surveys

• Architectural Surveys

• Bridge Inspections

• Utility Corridor Vegetation Management

• Building Inspection Surveys

• Disaster Response
This Amendment makes no other changes to the original request including 

exemptions sought, reasons for exemption request, and/or operating parameters. 

Verascan Inc. will operate these additional UA's under the same conditions and 

limitations provided in Exemption No. 12523. The name and contact information 

of the applicant remains the same.

PUBLIC INTEREST:

Granting Verascan Inc. Request For Amendment is In The Public Interest, that is, 

the public as a whole benefits, as described below. Granting the present petition 

for amendment(s) will continue to further the public interest as set forth in Grant 

of Exemption No. 12523, beginning on page 8, in which the Administrator found 

good cause for Verascan Inc.’s proposed UAS operation because enhanced 

safety is achieved by using an unmanned aircraft with the specifications 

described by Verascan Inc., and by carrying no passengers or crew, as 

compared to a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, which carries 

crew in addition to flammable fuel. Granting the requested amendments is in the 

public interest by alleviating human exposure to danger by working at extreme 

elevations, and/or in proximity to high-voltage. The types of inspections proposed 

herein improve the quality of inspection services while decreasing operating 

costs associated therewith, comparative to conventional flight operations. 

Additionally, Verascan Inc.’s proposed operations significantly reduce hazards, 

as well as emissions, associated with the common practice of manned helicopter 

utilization to conduct similar inspection operations. Verascan Inc. proposed UAS 

operations will provide benefits to energy, science, and civil engineering. 

Furthermore, the benefits of Verascan Inc. proposed operation of the mentioned 

UAS will be realized without implicating any privacy issues. Granting of Verascan 

Inc. proposed amendment will fulfill the Congressional mandate of the FAA 

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, by allowing Verascan Inc. to safely, 

efficiently, and economically operate the mentioned UAS commercially within the 

NAS. Granting these amendments would ensure Verascan Inc.’s inspection 
operations are confined to flights at an altitude of no more than 400 feet AGL, or 

only exceed that height to a vertical ceiling of 100 feet above an existing 

structure when inspection conditions warrant the necessity to do so. All FAA 

mandated procedures and notifications including provisions for obtaining a 

Certificate of Authorization or waiver (COA), and publishing of a Notice To 

Airmen (NOTAM) as outlined in 14 CFR § 91.119 as well as Grant of Exemption 

12523 shall be strictly adhered to. Verascan Inc. respectfully submits that an 

equivalent level of safety will be maintained, as presented in Grant of Exemption 

No. 12523, as all other previously granted conditions and limitations shall remain 

in effect.

Sincerely,

Brett Kanda
