Dear Mr. McKinnon :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition for an amendment. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists any changes to the original conditions

and limitations.

By letter dated July 24, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Ad ministration (FAA) on

behalf of Phoenix Air UNMANNED

, LLC (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an

amendment to your current exemption . That exemption from §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows the petitioner to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial inspection, patrolling, filmmaking, an d precision agriculture. You requested an amendment to conduct closed

- set motion pi cture and television filming to

your operations. You requested an amendment to add the Freefly Alta and Intuit Aerial Aerigon.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition

in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this pe tition would be detrimental to the petitioner
