Re: Petition for Amendment to Add Aircraft to Altair Video Productions, LLC DBA Cinemaerial 

Visuals’ Exemption. (Exemption # 14095 in Docket No. FAA-2015-3757)

Dear Sir or Madam:

Altair Video Productions, LLC DBA Cinemaerial Visuals (Exemption # 14095 in Docket No. 

FAA-2015-3757) was granted an exemption to conduct aerial data collection and closed set TV/movie 

filming using the DJI Inspire 1 and DJI Phantom 3.

There is no request for additional relief from any further regulations. Altair Video Productions, 

LLC DBA Cinemaerial Visuals requests for an amendment to that exemption to add onto its fleet the 

Freefly Systems Alta, the DJI Phantom 2, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, the DJI S900, the DJI S1000, and 

the DJI S1000+. Granting this exemption would not affect safety but will benefit the public because 

instead of dangerous helicopters being used, safer and quieter unmanned aircraft can be used under the 

restrictions outlined in the previously granted exemption. Altair Video Productions, LLC DBA 

Cinemaerial Visuals agrees to operate under the same restrictions in the exemption.

The petitioner will operate under the restrictions listed in the manufacturer’s manual. 

 The Freefly Systems Alta

 The DJI Phantom 2

 The DJI Phantom 2 Vision +

o Phantom 2 Vision+ User Manual (EN) v1.8 http://download.djiinnovations.com/downloads/phantom_2_vision_plus/en/Phantom_2_Vision_Plus_User_

Manual_v1.8_en.zip

 The DJI S900 under the:

 S900 User Manual v1.2 http://download.djiinnovations.com/downloads/s900/en/S900_User_Manual_v1.2_en.zip

 A2 Flight Controller Manual http://download.djiinnovations.com/downloads/a2/en/A2_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.04_en.pdf

 The DJI S1000 under the: 

 S1000 User Manual http://download.djiinnovations.com/downloads/s1000/en/S1000_User_Manual_v1.10_en.pdf

 A2 Flight Controller Manual http://download.djiinnovations.com/downloads/a2/en/A2_Quick_Start_Guide_v1.04_en.pdf

Altair Video Productions, LLC DBA Cinemaerial Visuals will operate only within the limitations in the 

previously granted exemption and the limitations listed in the manuals. The limitations, from the 

previously granted exemption, will be followed if there is a conflict with the manuals.

Since the drones have been previous evaluated in other exemptions, Freefly Systems Alta 

(Exemption No. 12362), Phantom 2 (Exemption No. 11699), DJI S900 (Previously granted in 

Exemption No. 11697), DJI S1000+ (Previously granted in Exemption No. 12283), DJI S1000 

(Previously granted in Exemption No. 12706), they will not set any precedent; therefore, there is good 

cause to waive the publishing of this petition in the Federal Register.

Sincerely,
