PETITION FOR EXEMPTION VIA SECTION 333 

for White Rose Production 

Alex Hsiao

1308 Factory Pl #311

Los Angeles, CA 90013

EMAIL: info@whiteroseproduction.com

I, Alex Hsiao, am applying for a petition for an exemption via Section 333, 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 operating area associated 

with the aircraft and its operation,

The UAS to be operated is a DJI Phantom 3 and the purpose is for aerial data collection. 

Because the nature of this operation is similar to other circumstances in its category, this 

petition is requesting for a grant of exemption based on 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), 11213 to Aeryon 

Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), and 12645 to Allied Drones (see Docket No. 

FAA-2014-0804). 

There is good cause to find that the UAS operation is enabled by this exemption because it is in 

the public interest that this is a safer alternative than a manned aircraft of significantly greater 

proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel. The UAS that will be operated requires 

no passengers or crew.

TYPE of sUAS:

DJI Phantom 3 

CHARACTERISTICS:

• Automatic flight height limiters are set to comply with FAA regulations

• GPS system keeps aircraft stable and in place without human intervention; also 

allows for tracking and mapping to allow for safe flight route planning

• It can fly back to a designated home point in event that radio signal is lost

• Under 55 lbs

• Maximum speed < 35mph

REQUESTED Operation/ Mission:

Aerial surveying, videography, and photography.
Regarding the Unmanned Aircraft System

1. PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE HOW THE PROPOSED UAS OPERATION WILL 

BE SAFELY CONDUCTED TO MINIMIZE RISK TO THE NAS OR TO PERSONS AND 

PROPERTY ON THE GROUND. SPECIFICALLY, PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE THE 

DESIGN AND OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR THE TYPE(S) OF UAS THEY 

INTEND TO OPERATE, E.G. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE AND PERFORMANCE 

LIMITATIONS, OPERATING PROCEDURES, AND AIRCRAFT LOADING INFORMATION IN AS 

MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE. THIS COULD BE PROVIDED IN THE PETITION OR IN AN 

AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL OR SIMILAR DOCUMENT.

	 	 AIRCRAFT TYPE:

Currently we are flying the DJI Phantom 3, which has built in safety features and 

limitations that are designed to minimize risk to persons and property on the 

ground. Maximum height and maximum distance can be set in software to 

comply with FAA regulation. The Phantom 3 has built in GPS so that it can 

stabilize itself and remain in one place without requiring the operator’s input. It 

also has cameras on the bottom of it’s body to help determine it’s position and 

guide it’s flight. The software can also automatically take off and land the 

quadcopter. In case radio contact is lost with the remote control, a safety feature 

allows it to return to a home point that can be designated safely by the operator. 

In addition, the software allows the operator to monitor progress and health of 

the battery, and automates a warning for the operator to land at 30% battery 

capacity.

OPERATING PROCEDURES.

	 	 The operator will observe the following:

1. Inspect condition of aircraft and determine if it is in a condition for safe 

flight. 

2. Scout location, assess geography/weather conditions and identify 

potential obstacles/hazards. 

3. Plan the safest route to fly and identify safest takeoff/landing zones. 

Safety is the number 1 priority.
4. Observe current FAA airspace requirements. Fly below 400 ft, within line 

of sight. Do not fly over people, stadiums or sports events, near 

emergency response efforts, near aircraft or airports, nor under the 

influence.

5. Always keep aircraft in visual line of sight. 

2. PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE ANY PROCEDURES THEY WOULD IMPLEMENT, 

SUCH AS PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIR, TO ENSURE THAT THE 

UAS IS IN A CONDITION FOR SAFE FLIGHT. THIS COULD BE PROVIDED IN THE PETITION, AN 

AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL, A MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION MANUAL, OR SIMILAR 

DOCUMENT.

	 	 MANDATORY PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST

1. Check to see that firmware and software is up to date.

2. Check to see that the propellors are undamaged. If damaged, replace 

propellors. Spares are always kept on hand. 

3. Inspect aircraft for visual signs of damage. If there is substantial damage that 

may impact the ability of the aircraft to fly safely, do not fly. This includes 

visible damage to the rotors, landing structure, or other elements necessary 

to takeoff/fly or land.

4. Turn on Quadcopter and controller. Check status of GPS signal, battery health, 

and radio control signal. Local maps are loaded to track flight records and 

also provide operator with geographical knowledge of the location. Be aware 

of warning messages. 

5. Fly when it is safe to do so. 

MAINTENANCE 

1. Aircraft will undergo regular maintenance to ensure safe operation.

3. THE PETITIONER SHOULD DESCRIBE THE RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) SPECTRUM 

USED FOR CONTROL OF THE UAS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT THAT IS PART OF THE 

UAS (I.E., SENSORS, CAMERAS, ETC.), AND WHETHER IT COMPLIES WITH FEDERAL 

COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) OR OTHER APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT 

OVERSIGHT AGENCY REQUIREMENTS.

The radio frequency and spectrum used by the sUAS (DJI Phantom 3) is in 

compliance with FCC or other appropriate government oversight agency 

requirements.
4. PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE THE QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED OF ANY PIC(S) 

WHO WILL BE DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION OF THE UAS, INCLUDING 

INFORMATION SUCH AS: THE LEVEL OF AIRMAN CERTIFICATE HELD; ANY APPLICABLE 

TRAINING RELATED TO THE OPERATION; AND ANY MINIMUM HOURS OF FLIGHT 

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED BY THE PIC(S), BOTH TOTAL FLIGHT TIME AND THE TIME WITH 

THE PARTICULAR UAS. IF THE OPERATION WOULD USE VISUAL OBSERVERS, 

PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE THEIR ROLES AND QUALIFICATIONS.

We have a 60 hour training program so operators understand all safety 

procedures, protocol, and FAA regulations before flying. Operators familiarize 

themselves with all aspects of the aircraft, radio control, and software 

applications. During operation, we utilize a buddy system. The operator 

controls the craft from the ground while using his monitor as a reference. A 

second visual observer provides visual contact with the aircraft at all times, 

provides navigational information and relays observations that would be 

imperative to the operator’s safe control of the aircraft.

Operators will keep current with FAA laws and regulations.

5. PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE THE MEDICAL STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATION 

OF THE PIC(S) DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OPERATION OF THE UAS.

Operators should be in good health and standing in order to operate. They shall not 

operate under the influence.

6. PETITIONERS SHOULD FULLY DESCRIBE THEIR INTENDED UAS OPERATION(S). 

PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE HOW THE PROPOSED OPERATION(S) WOULD NOT 

ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY, OR HOW THEY WOULD PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SAFETY AT

SHOULD DESCRIBE HOW THEY INTEND TO

COMPLY WITH HIS MANDATE.

	 	 	 The operator will find the clearest takeoff/landing point that allow the 

greatest visibility for the planned flight route. The remote has a tracking 

system that maps the current position of the aircraft and measures the 

distance and height it can travel. Operator will be aware of the maximum 

flight distance it can travel before losing visibility. To ensure maximum safety, 

operator will try to utilize a buddy system when possible. A second “co-pilot” 

will have a pair of binoculars and his sole responsibility is to visually track the 

aircraft and identify/report potential hazards and obstacles during the 

operation.

11. PETITIONERS SHOULD DESCRIBE ANY PROCEDURES THEY WOULD IMPLEMENT 

FOR CONDUCTING A PREFLIGHT SAFETY RISK ASSESSMENT TO DETERMINE THAT THE

Conditions and Limitations

The operator will comply with the following conditions and limitations.

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 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 limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the 

operating documents, the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and 

must be followed.
