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

C.P.R. Part 11, Jeff Tassin Studios seeks exemption from requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 21, Subpart H;14 C.F.R. § 

43.11; 14 C.F.R. § 91.103; 14 C.F.R. § 91.105; 14 C.F.R. § 91.109; 14 C.F.R. § 91.119; 14 C.F.R. § 91.121; 14 C.F.R. 

§ 91.151 (a); 14 C.P.R.§ 91.405(a) and (d); 14 C.P.R.§ 91.407(a)(l); 14 C.F.R. § 91.409(a)(2); 14 C.P.R. § 417(a) and 

(b) to operate an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for the purpose of conducting aerial photography and videography of, 

commercial, public, and residential properties and structures with owners/operators permission and appropriate 

authorization. 

Jeff Tassin Studios requests exemption to operate small unmanned aerial craft under 501bs under the 

Operational Control of an individual holding at least a Private Pilot Certificate; under direct control of a Pilot in 

Command (PIC) and within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) while utilizing a Safety Observer. 

Jeff Tassin Studios would fulfill the Secretary of Transportation's/FAA Administrator's responsibilities, namely, 

"establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system". Section 333(c) 

of the Reform Act. 

This request is in the public interest in that it is far less dangerous and costly and with far less environmental 

impact than employing manned aircraft for collection of aerial footage. 

A pre-flight inspection will be conducted before each time the craft leaves the ground. 

A 'geo-fence' will be applied to any and all Jeff Tassin Studios UAV's limiting altitude to 400 feet AGL. 

Flights will be conducted by a qualified PIC only in Line-of-Sight with a Safety Observer 

Flights will be conducted by qualified, trained personnel only. Jeff Tassin Studios, (Jeff Tassin) has undergone 

intense training on several UAV models, logging more than 50 hours of flight time both in Angle Mode and 

'Smart' Mode operations. 

Jeff Tassin Studios (Jeff Tassin) will not transfer the operation of the UAS to any unqualified personnel. 

Routine maintenance will be completed and repairs as warranted in accordance with the operational UAS 

manual guidelines. 

All city, county, state or government permissions or permits will me obtained according to applicable law. 

In case of loss of GPS, my specific UAS possess an automatic 'return-to-home' function which returns the 

craft to the GPS location where it was powered up at the site. 

My specific UAV oper. tes at the following frequencies, 2.4835 GH and 5.875 GHz and does not require a
