Scope: Enhance and edit real estate listing videos and accurately surv ey property lines in Oil and Gas Title Research by usin g the Phantom 3 Professional Unmanned Aircraft System to conduct aerial photography, videography and surveying of real property.

UAV Phantom 3 Professional: The DJI Phantom 3 is a quad-rotor Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS ) weighing

1280 Grams or 2.82192 Pounds. The P hantom 3 UAS that Derrick J. Parsons will be responsible for also utilizes a mobile ground station. The U AS features a safety Return to Home function that in the event of a signal loss, the UAS will return to a preset position and land. The Ret urn to Home feature can also b e triggered manually. The remote connects to your mobile phone or tablet, a nd a 720p HD view of everything your camera s ees as you fly is displayed liv e. This high resolution view streams to you in absolute clarity, enabling sa fe flying. From takeoff to landing, the Phantom 3 responds to commands while au tomatically handling the most complex aspects of safe, stable flight. Each of the four legs of the Phantom 3 contains a high- powered antenna, all constantly b roadcasting the live video feed and receiving c ontrol commands from any directi on.

Petition: I request an exemption from TI TLE 14 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS SECTIONS 61.113 (a) and (b); 91.7 (a); 91.119 (c); 91.121; 91.151 (a); 91.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (1) and (2); 91.417 (a) and (b)The Extent Of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks 1. Extent of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks regarding Sectio n 61.113 (a) and (b) Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations

Relief from Section 61.113 (a) and (b) is requested to allow a Pilot in Command to operate the Derrick J . Parsons Phantom 3. The flight would be complimented by a Visual Observer who, along with the pilot, wi ll maintain Visual Line of Sight with the Phantom 3 at all times. All operations c onducted will be incidental to Derrick J. Parsons ’s business, Accrue Land Servic es LLC. The Phantom 3 is not able to carry passengers.

2. Extent of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks in regards to Section 91.7(a) Civil Aircraft Airworthiness Relief from Section 91.7(a) is requested to allow Derrick J. Pa rsons to determine airworthiness of the Phantom 3. As part of this determination t he following will be adhered to: a. Prior to the Phantom 3's flight the PIC will inspect the UA to ensure it is in a condition that will be conducive for a safe flight. The ground control station will be included in the above inspection. b. Derrick J. Parsons will follow the DJI Phantom 3’s aircraft/ component, maintenance, overhaul, replacem ent, inspection and life limit r equirements. c. Derrick J. Parsons will comply with all DJI manufacturer Saf ety Bulletins.

3. Extent of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks in regards to Section 91.119 Minimum Safe Altitudes General relief from 91.119 is requested to allow Derrick J. Parsons to operate the Pha ntom 3 at altitudes not to exceed 400’ AGL over private property at a distance a t or greater than 5NM from the nearest airport as depicted on current Aeronautical Charts. Derrick J. Parsons als o wishes to be granted exemption to operate at an altitude not greater than 50 ’ AGL (below tree level) between 1NM and 5NM from the nearest airport as depicted on current Aeronautical Charts. Derrick J. Parsons will adhere to the following in order to mai ntain an acceptable level of safety associated with operations over priv ate property: (a) Derrick J. Parsons will display signs in the immediate vici nity of operations stating: “Aerial Photography In Progress. Use Cautio n.” (b) Derrick J. Parsons will not allow the Phantom 3 to operate at a speed greater than 10kts.(c) Derrick J. Parsons will require the UAS operator (PIC) to b e fully trained on the Phantom 3 by adhering to the recommendations contained within t he Phantom 3’s operating manual. (d) Derrick J. Parsons will have accumulated and logged, in a m anner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51(b), a minimum of 25 hours of total time as a
UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pi lot with a multi-rotor UAS. In addition the operator will have logged a mi nimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the make and model UAS that Derrick J. Parsons operates. (e) Derrick J. Parsons will be familiar with and able to manual ly institute the Phantom 3’s Return to Home (RTH) feature. This feature aborts a flight operation and automatically returns the UAS to a predetermined GPS safe point. (f) Derrick J. Parsons will not operate over private property w ithout first finding a suitable alternate landing spot on the property. (g) Derrick J. Parsons will abort the flight in the event of un predicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents. (h) Derrick J. Parsons will utiliz e a two man flight team consi sting of the Pilot in Command (PIC) and a Visual Observ er (VO). This team will mainta in visual line of sight with the Phantom 3 at all times and remain within hear ing of one another. (i) Derrick J. Parsons will not permit flight around vessels, v ehicles and structures without permission from the owner.

4. Extent of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks in regards to Section 91.121 Altimeter Settings Relief from 91.121 is requested because the Phantom 3 utilizes electronic GPS with a barometric sensor. In order to maintain an equal level of safety that 91.121 requi res, the PIC of the Derrick J. Parsons UAS will abort the flight in the events that the UA loses communications with the GPS signal.

5. Extent of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks in regards to Section 91.151(b) Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions Relief from 91.151(b) is requested to the extent that allows De rrick J. Parsons to operate the Phantom 3 up to a point (considering wind and forec ast weather conditions) that there is enough power to fly at normal cruisin g speed to the intended landing point and land the UA with 30% battery power r emaining.6. Extent of Relief that Derrick J. Parsons seeks in regards to Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1), and (a)(2), 91.417(a) and (b) These are all associated a with Airworthiness certificate Relief from 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1 ), and (a)(2), And 91.417(a) and (b) is Requested to the extent that allo ws Derrick J. Parsons to opera te the Phantom 3 Quad-Copter as necessary. These sections are all related to air worthiness certificates of aircraft. There is not currently an airworthine ss certificate for small UAS’s. Derrick J. Parsons would comply in full to any condition s and limitations that the Administrator would pl ace in order to receive an appro ved Grant of Exemption.

Public Interest: Aerial videography and surveying for real estate marketing and/ or oil and gas title research has been around for a long time through manned fixed w ing aircraft and helicopters, but for small busines s owners, its expense has bee n cost-prohibitive. Granting this exemption to me would allow me to provide this se rvice and much needed information at a much lower cost. My UAS will pose no th reat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to manned aircraft. The operation of my UAS will minimize ecological dama ge and promote economic growth by providing information to companies and resid ents looking to relocate or build in the Erie area.

Conclusion: As set forth herein, Derrick J. Parsons seeks an exemption purs uant to 14 C.F.R. § 11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act o f 2012 (FMRA), which will permit safe operation of the DJI Phantom 3 U AS commercially within the Real Estate and Oil and Gas markets. Th e Administrator will be assisting small business by granting this petition. In accordance with the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Derrick J. Parsons re spectfully requests that the FAA Administrator grants this petition for ex emption from TITLE
14 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS SECTIONS 61.113 (a) and (b); 91.7 (a); 9 1.119 (c); 91.12 1; 91.151 (a); 9 1.405 (a); 91.407 (a) (1); 91.409 (a) (1) and (2); 91.417 (a) and (b)
