Exemption No. 12699 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

–2015

–2526 Mr. Henry Clay Lehman Rise Above Video 705 West Main Street Kerrville, TX 78028 Dear Mr. Lehman: This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. By letter dated June 4, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf ofRise Above Video (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an exemption. The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing and inspections

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. Airworthiness Certification The UAS proposed by the petitioner is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision

. 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 Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA

## 2 finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary. The Basis for Our Decision You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection1



## . The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In 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), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA found that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

• They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213; • The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and • A grant of exemption is in the public interest. Our Decision In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Rise Above Video is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 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), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below. Conditions and Limitations In this grant of exemption, Rise Above Video is hereafter referred to as the operator.

1 

### Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard the UA. Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.), electronic measurement (precision surveying, RF analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (particulate measurement, etc.), or any other gathering of data by instruments aboard the UA.

## 3 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 2 Vision 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. Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The

## 4 operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents. 8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property. 9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation. 10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre

-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre

-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe f light. 11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components. 12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer safety bulletins. 13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate. 14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs

## 5 (training, proficiency, and experience

-building) and determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119. 15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized. 16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA

-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC. 18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA must return to a pre-determined location within the private or controlled

-access property. 19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies. 20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least 5 minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater. 21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO

-issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the enclosed COA
. 22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification (N−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable.

## 6 23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. 24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times. 25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle. 26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless:

a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection

. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating persons under this exemption. 27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled

-access property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted. 28. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

. If this exemption permits operations for the purpose ofclosed

-set motion picture and television filming and production, the following additional conditions and limitations apply. 29. The operator must have a motion picture and television operations manual (MPTOM) as documented in this grant of exemption.

## 7 30. At least 3 days before aerial filming, the operator of the UAS affected by this exemption must submit a written Plan of Activities to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming. The 3

-day notification may be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of activities must include at least the following:

a. Dates and times for all flights; b. Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under this grant of exemption; c. Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on

-scene operation of the UAS; d. Make, model, and serial or N−Number of UAS to be used; e. Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming; f. A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon request; g. Signature of exemption holder or representative; and h. A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the operation. 31. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming production, as specified in the exemption holder’s MPTOM. Unless otherwise specified in this grant of exemption, the UAS, the UAS PIC, and the UAS operations must comply with all applicable parts of 14 CFR including, but not limited to, parts 45, 47, 61, and 91. This exemption terminates on September 30, 2017, unless sooner superseded or rescinded. Sincerely, /s/ John S. Duncan Director, Flight Standards Service Enclosures

## PERSONAL INFORMATION Name Henry Clay Lehman 

## (hereafter referred to as "Petitioner") Company RISE-ABOVE-VIDEO Address 705 West Main St Kerrville, TX 78028 830 329-4794 CLA Y@CLAYLEHMAN.COM 

## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Petitioner, Henry Clay Lehman, was born on April 20, 1944 in San Antonio, TX. and is a US citizen. He has been a REALTOR® for over 10 years and is presently working with REALTY EXECUTIVES in Kerrville, Tx. The petitioner is a licensed COMMERCIAL PILOT (#2105618) with an instrument rating. His ratings include AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND & SEA; AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND; INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE, and holds type rating: L-188. He is a Vietnam EraVet having flown as a Plane Commander with USNAVY PATROL SQUADRON VP-40 in California. In addition to his time as a Naval Aviator, he has previously owned and flown several fixed-wing aircraft. Petitioner has never been cited for any FAA violations. Since March 2014, Petitioner has owned and flown a DJI Phantom 2 Vision (UAS). As a hobbyist. Petitioner has become very proficient with the Phantom 2 Vision model with over 50 hours flown in type. Petitioner is requesting an exemption from the current rules in Section 333, which govern the uses ofUASs for commercial purposes. The Petitioner seeks authorization to perform commercial UAS operations for real estate inspections and use in real estate marketing. This would include residential, commercial and rural properties. Prospective customers and clients would include real estate agents & brokers, property inspection companies, management companies, insurance companies & vendors, banks and private property owners. 

## PUBLIC GOOD Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing and inspections has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. But for small business owners, its expense has been cost-prohibitive. Granting this exemption to the Petitioner would allow him to provide this service at a much lower cost. Further, the small UAS being utilized in this application will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack ofcombustible fuel when compared to larger manned aircraft. The operation ofthis UAS will minimize ecological damage and promote economic growth by providing information to businesses & 

## individuals in the Texas Hill Country and central Texas area. 

## DESCRIPTION OF UAV 

## TO BE DEPLOYED UNDER REQUESTED EXEMPTIONS Petitioner currently owns a DJI Phantom 2 Vision quad-copter. The petitioner intends to use the Phantom 2 Vision as the primary UA V in commercial applications described herein. The Phantom 2 Vision 

## is a quad-copter that can take offand land vertically. It 

## weighs approximately 3 lbs. and has a maximum airspeed of approximately 25 knots. This UAS uses a lithium polymer battery, which gives this

Page 2 of 10

## UAS approximately 20-25 minutes offlight time with sufficient remaining battery charge to land safely. The particular model ofPhantom 2 being utilized under this request for exemption has First Person View (FPV), which allows the PIC to visually monitor certain telemetry data on a ground station monitor including altitude (AGL), GPS signal strength, battery charge information, etc. This FPV also gives the PIC video feed from the attached camera showing what images are being captured. This is a significant safety feature as it shows the attitude ofthe UAS and its forward direction. However, this FPV feature will never be used as a tool to deviate from VLOS operation by the PIC. 

## The UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA) 

## The UAS to be deployed here is a DJI Phantom 2 Vision.

## PREFLIGHT The petitioner will always follow procedures outlined inthe UAS operator's manual as to proper preflight inspection ofall hardware, software, environment and any other factors needed to ensure a safe flight. 

## PIC QUALIFICATIONS The petitionerholds a FAA Commercial Pilot's License with an instrumentrating. Petitioner has over 1200 hours PIC time in a variety ofaircraft including Cessna 150's, Piper Cherokee (PA-140), TwinAero Commanders, and Lockheed P3-0RION (P3A & P3B), with the majority being in the Lockheed P3-0RION. Petitioner has owned the UAS described above since March 2014 and has over 50 hours ofdocumented flight time in this type ofUAS as a hobbyist. The petitioner envisions being the PIC in all operations that will be performed under the requested rule exemptions and the subsequent COA request. However, ifanother PIC is used for these operations, petitioner agrees that any PIC ofthe UAS in the envisioned operations will hold at least a FAA Private pilots certificate, hold at least a 3rd class medical certificate, or a valid, state issued driver's
Page 4 of 10

## license and have no less than 25 hours ofPIC time in the UAS being deployed before beginning any type ofcommercial for hire operations and conform to all safety protocols. We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision corrected to 

## 20120 and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that the PIC and VO can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is medically qualified to operate a much larger vehicle. 

## DESCRIPTION OF INTENDED COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS Petitioner intends to solicit work for aerial real estate inspections and marketing from real estate agents & 

## brokers, property inspection companies, insurance companies & 

## related vendors, banks and private property owners to provide photography and videography ofresidential, commercial and rural real estate. This work will always be conducted with the permission ofthe property owner or their respective agent. Flight operations will be restricted to flights directly over the property that has granted permission. Given the type ofwork being targeted here, the Petitioner does not foresee any instance where the UAS would be flown over any crowds or assemblages ofpeople in an open-air environment. Ifin fact anyjob does entail flights over crowds, petitioner will elect not to make said flight. Safety will always be the primary concern regarding any flight at any time. Petitioner agrees to place a sign during any flight operation that says: CAUTIONUNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE IN OPERATION. STAY BACK 100 FEET FROM AIRCRAFT. 

## OPERATING PARAMETERS The UAS being deployed in this exemption request can fly at a speed of approximately 25 knots. However, given the intended use describe here, this speed will never be necessary. Much slower speeds are preferred to collect the photographic material needed.

The UAV System will be operated in the field with both a PIC and aVO in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227 Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" and with the following Restrictions: (a) No flight will be made with a UA Gross weight exceeding 55 pounds; (b) All operations must occur in FAA Class G airspace at no more than 400 ft AGL, at an airspeed ofno more than 25 knots and no further than 3/4 NM from the PIC; (c) Petitioner agrees to use a Visual Observer (VO) during all operations. The VO will be used to help visually track the UA while in flight. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate by voice at all times during a flight operation; (d) Operations will be restrictedto flights overprivate property withthe permission of the property owner; (e) The UAS System will not be operated over densely populated areas; (f) 

## The UAS System will notbe operated at air shows; (g) The UAS System will not be operated over any open-air assembly ofpeople;

Page 5 oflO

## (h) The UAS System will not be operated over heavily trafficked roads; (i) 

## The PIC will briefthe VO and property owner about the operation and risk before the first flight at each new location; G) 

## No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight Inspectionby the PIC before each operation to ascertain that the UA is in a condition safe for flight (see Appendix A). (k) Although the UAS being deployed has an approximate control link distance of3/4 mile, this is much more than VLOS will allow. Petitioner agrees never to fly UAS outside ofVLOS. (1) 

## Petitioner will only fly UAS during the day inVMC conditions. Given the petitioner agrees to never fly higher than 300 feet AGL, distance from clouds should notbe a factor ifflown in VMC conditions. (m) The UAS will not operate within 5 nautical miles ofan airport reference point as denoted on a current FAApublished aeronautical chart. (n) The UAS being deployed with these exemptionrequests has the capability ofusing GPS signals to return to its initial point oftake offifconnection with the radio control link is lost. (o) The petitioner agrees to yield right ofway to all manned aviation activities at all times. 

## EXEMPTION REQUESTS The following are a list ofTitle 14 CFAs which the petitioner seeks exemption. Please note that the Petitioner has used Exemption No. 11138 to Douglas Trudeau (Regulatory Docket No. FAA-2014-0481) as a reference. Given that the petitioner and Mr. Trudeau intend to use the exemptions in similar manners and both use similar equipment, it seemed prudent not to burden the reviewer in this matter with exemption requests that have been previously deemed that reliefwas not necessary. These rules are Part 21, 45.23(b), 91.9(b)(2), 91.103(b), 91.109 and 91.203(a) & 

## (b). If

## the reviewer believes that these rules need to be addressed in this request, the petitioner will make a supplemental request including these additional rule exemptions. 

## RULE 61.113 PRIVATE PILOT PREVELEGES AND LIMITATIONS The Petitioner currently holds an FAA Commercial Pilot Certificate. His other ratings include AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND & SEA; AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND; INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE. He also holds a L-188 Type Rating. The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command ofan aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private pilot to act as pilot in command ofan aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to thatbusiness or employment; and (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers orproperty for compensation or hire. Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b), private pilots are limitedto noncommercial operations. I, Henry Clay Lehman, can achieve an equivalent level ofsafety as achieved by current Regulations because myUAS does not carry any pilots orpassengers. The risks attended to the operation ofmy UAS is far less than the risk levels inherent in the
Page 6 of 10

## commercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, et seq. Thus, allowing me to operate my UAS meet and exceed current safety levels in relationto 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b). In addition, Grant ofExemptionNo. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (Astraeus), the FAA determinedthat a PIC with a private pilot certificate operating the Astraeus UAS would not adversely affect operations in the NAS or present a hazard to persons or property on the ground. As to private pilot limitations concerning operations for hire or compensation, it seems that ExemptionNo. 11062 to Astraeus has allowed this exemptionpreviously and was noted in the TrudeauExemption No. 11138. As to airmanship skills, the Petitioner has been operating his UAS since March 2014 and has over 50 hours oflogged flight time. Petitioner currently fly's this UAS several hours a month as a hobby and is very proficient and has the skills to maintain altitude, maintain VLOS, navigate, avoid obstacles, avoid air traffic andrespond to loss ofcontrol link. Petitioner understands that he must make at least 3 takeoffs and landings within a 90-day period for currency purposes 

## RULE 91.7(a) CIVIL AIRCRAFT AIRWORTHINESS There is no current FAA regulatory standard for determining airworthiness ofUAS and there is no certificate currently available for UAS airworthiness. Petitioner seeks an exemption from this rule by ensuring that the UAS is in an airworthy condition based on compliance with the operating documents prior to every flight. Flight manuals and other important documents will be kept in a location readily accessible to the PIC at all times. 

## RULE 91.119(c) MINIMUM SAFE ALTITUDES 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation ofcivil aircraft, but it allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in certain conditions. Petitioner seeks an exemption from this rule as Petitioner will only operate the UAS in a range from ground level up to but not exceeding 300 feet (AGL) and will only operate in safe areas away from the public thus providing a level ofsafety not available to manned aircraft. The petitioner asserts that given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed ofthe UAS, an equivalent or higher level ofsafety will be achieved that from conventional manned helicopters. Petitioner will avoid actively populated areas. These areas will be interpreted to include areas on a FVR chart depicted in yellow and will be supplemented with information from a Flights Standard District Office (FSDO). Petitioner intends to operate the UAS over real estate for inspection purposes. Petitioner will not operate over any assemblage ofpeople in an open-air environment. Perthe exemption granted in No. 11138 concerning 91.119(c), Petitioner agrees to act in strict accordance to that exemption. However, Petitioner seeks an exemption from the rule stipulating that a UAS cannot be operated 

## within 500 feet ofa structure 

## withoutpermission of the owner. Given the intended use Petitioner will use these

Page 7 of 10

## exemptions for, which is for photography and videography ofreal estate for marketing & 

## inspection purposes, agreement from the engaging property owner or their agent is an absolute necessity. The UAS will only be flown over properties with this permission. However, given the housing density in certain areas in Kerrville, TX area, maintaining a 500-foot distance from other structures even while strictly flying over a permission granting owner's property is impossible in many instances. The Petitioner seeks an exemption to this rule, which would allow a 50' standofffrom other structures as long as the UAS is operated completely over and within the property boundary lines ofa permission granting property owner. Petitioner agrees to always keep privacy rights ofother property owners in mind and will never engage a UAS in any type ofsurveillance or spying 

## RULE 91.121 ALTIMETER SETTINGS Petitioners' UAS has GPS derived altitude capabilities. The petitioner believes this rule is not applicable to the UAS operations intended. 

## RULE 91.151(a) FUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR FLIGHT IN VFR CONDITIONS Petitioner seeks relieffrom this rule due to the UAS being deployed is battery operated and the requirements under this rule are not applicable. The UAV in question has First Person Vision capabilities, which transmits certaintelemetry to a monitor where the PIC can monitor certain aspects ofthe flight including battery level. A typical battery for a Phantom 2 UAS will last approximately 20-25 minutes before total exhaustion. Certain battery level warnings are set where the PIC will know when the battery state is at 30% and 15% remaining charge levels. This will normally allow a flight of 12- 15 minutes with sufficient battery charge to make a safe landing. Petitioner will never begin a flight unless a fully charged battery is used. 

## RULE 91.405(a) MAINTENANCE REQUIRED, 91.407(a) OPERATION AFTER MAINTENANCE, PREVENTITIVE MAINTENANCE, REBUILDING OR ALTERATION; 91.404(a)(2) INSPECTIONS; 91.417(a)(b) MAINTENANCE RECORDS Petitioner seeks relieffrom these rules due to it being an alternate inspection requirement of91.409(a)(2). The Petitioner will inspect and ensure UAS is in a condition for safe flight and adhere to all operating documents. 

## SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION The Petitionerhas provided the following informationto support these requests for rule exemptions:

• Phantom-2-Vision-Release-Notes-en.pdf • Phantom-2-Vision-Quick-Start-en.pdf • Phantom-2-Vision-User-Manual-v1.8-en.pdf • Smart-Flight-Battery-Safety-Guidelines.pdf • Phantom-2-Vision-Pilot-Training-Guide-en.pdf • Copy ofpetitioners FAA Commercial Pilot's License • Copy ofpetitioners Driver's License (State ofTexas)

## CLOSING The Petitioner believes that exemption from the above listed Title 14 CFRs is warranted given Petitioner's background as a Commercial Pilot, the nature ofthe type ofUAS flights that will be undertaken, the size & weight ofthe UAS being deployed, the safety precautions to the general public and the NAS the Petitioner intends to adhere to, the positive environmental impact the flight operations would have compared to manned fuel consuming missions and the economic benefit the Petitioner's business would have in this new area ofaviation. Thank you for your review ofthis matter. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions regarding this matter. Sincerely,

### PHANTOM 2 VISION Product Release Notes 

## Firmware Updates on Nov 17

a) The Phantom 2 Vision Autopilot's firmware has been upgraded to vl.05. b) The Central Board firmware has been upgraded to vl.O.l.18. c) The PC Assistant Software has been upgraded to vl.05. d) The Cell Phone App has been upgraded to (iOS App: vl.0.29 Android App: vl.0.33), they are now under App store reviews. e) The User Guide has been updated to vl.04. 

### New a) Professional users can use the PC Assistant Software (vl.05) to enter a /{Naza-like" Mode, enabling IOC and original Atti, GPS and Manual Modes. The LED flight indicator will behave like the Naza, not the Phantom 2 Vision. Please alert users to only enterthe Naza-like Mode ifthey are experienced pilots as more and more Phantom 2 Vision users will be those with no experience offlying. b) Contact pins may fail when the Phantom 2 Vision is still in the air, triggering an "Invalid Battery" warning. This causes autopilot to receive a 11

### 0" battery level, triggering the auto-landing failsafe. After updatingto Autopilot (v1.05) and Central Board (vl.O.l.18), the /{Invalid Battery" warning will not occur in-flight, even if contact pins fail. This will prevent auto-landing. Autopilot will provide warnings if batteryvoltage drops lower than 10.65V (Autopilot can track battery percentage with and without the contact pins). If using iOS app vl.0.29, a message box will pop up to warn that "There has been a battery communication failure. Please fly carefully and bring your Phantom 2 Vision back to you ASAP." c) PS: The Phantom 2 Vision is "Ready To Fly," "Ready to Capture" and "Ready to Share" but it is still an aircraft. Keeping contact needles and pads clean is very important. Any dirt and dust may cause a communication failure. d) 2nd Level Low Battery Warning is set to 15% instead of 20%. e) A new level of protection is a hidden third low battery voltage in addition to the 1st and 2nd battery level (percentage) warnings. This uses 10.65V as its threshold. Both this voltage threshold and the 2nd Level Low Battery Warning will trigger auto-landing. Altitude can be maintained if necessary by pulling up on the throttle.) f) Switching the 52 from upper most position to its bottom most position for at !east 5 times will reset the home point of Phantom 2 Vision. Definition of /{home point" is i) where the Phantom 2 Vision return to when control signal is lost ii) the home position which is used to calculate the horizontal distance between you and the aircraft which is displayed on your cell phone app. When the home point is set, you will see a very short period offast green light flashing on the LED Flight Indicator. g) The map used in the 11Find My Phantom 2 Vision" is changed to Google Map in Android App (v1.0.33). h) Other minor bugs fixed. 

## Special a) Must use the latest PC Assistant Software (v1.05). b) Must upgrade both Autopilot (vl.05) and Central Board (v1.0.1.18). ©2013-2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved. 11

### PHANTOM 2 VISION Product Release Notes c) Before switching to Naza-like Mode, you need to update autopilot and central board first. d) Latest Cell Phone App is under review by app stores, the only major difference will be, by using earlier version app, you won't get the popup message "battery communication failure". But it really doesn't matterthat much. The review takes about 1 week.


## Firmware Updates on Nov 5

a) The Phantom 2 Vision5.8GHz Receiver's firmware has been upgraded to vl.0.1.3. b) The Phantom 2 Vision 5.8GHz Remote Controller's firmware has been upgraded to v1.0.2.22. c) The PC Remote Controller Assistant Software has been released(vl.OO).

## 3 Preparing the Remote Controller The PHANTOM 2 VISION remote controller is a wireless communication device that uses the 5.8GHz frequency band. It is compliant with CE and FCC (see the FCC ID) regulations and is set to Mode 2 before delivery. The compliance version can be configured by twisting the potentiometer knob on the back of the remote controller. The stick configuration can also be reset in the PHANTOM RC Assistant. Refer to the PHANTOM RC Assistant and the Compliance Version Configuration (Page 12) for details.
(l) CE compliant devices have an effective communication range of 300 meters in open spaces due to power limitations. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond this range. (2) FCC compliant devices have an effective range of 500 meters in open spaces. Be sure to watch your fight distance as the PHANTOM 2 VISION will enter Failsafe mode (auto-landing or go home and land) if it flies beyond this range. (3) Pay attention to and follow local laws and regulations.

The remote controller will blink the LED and sound an alert when the voltage drops below 3.9V and automatically power off after 3 seconds. This process will repeat even if you power cycle the remote controller. If this low voltage warning occurs during flight, the remote controller will automatically power off causing the aircraft to enter Failsafe mode, which cannot be interrupted (refer to the Failsafe Function (Page 32) for details). It is strongly recommended to replace batteries if the 3.9V-4.5V low voltage warning occurs.

## I3.4 Antenna Orientation
Try to keep the antenna pointing skyward, perpendicular to the ground, in order to achieve the maximum communication range during flight.

The remote controller's antenna should be pointing skyward with no obstacles in the way. Otherwise, the Failsafe function may initialize prematurely during flight. The Mobile Device and Range Extender should not block the antenna.

3.5 Remote Controller Operation



### Definitions The 'stick neutral' positions and 'stick released' mean the control sticks of the remote controller are placed at the central position. To 'movethe stick' means that the stick of remote controller is pushed away from the central position.

The throttle stick controls aircraft altitude/elevation. Push the stick up and the aircraft will rise. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will descend. The aircraft will automatically hover and hold its height ifthe sticks are centered. Push the throttle stick above the centered (mid-point) position to make the aircraft take-off. When flying, we suggest that you push the throttle stick slowly to prevent the aircraft from sudden and unexpected elevation changes.The yaw stick controls the aircraft rudder.

clock-wise. Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate clock-wise. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will remain facing the same direction. The yaw stick controls the rotating angular velocity of the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity. The pitch stick controls the aircraft's front & back tilt. Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly forward. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered. Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35•) and faster flight velocity. The roll stick controls the aircraft's left & right tilt. Push the stick left and the aircraft will tilt and fly left. Push the stick right and the aircraft will tilt and fly right. 1 The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is

# 4 Preparing the Range Extender The PHANTOM 2 VISION range extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency band and is used for extending the effective range of communication between a mobile device (Smartphone) and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. In an open unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 300 meters, but is usually affected by the surrounding environment, such as trees, buildings and other
sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the range extender functions properly. Otherwise you may experience a communication issue with the mobile device and the PHANTOM 2 VISION. Each range extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SSID), details of which are printed on the back label as 'Phantom_xxxxxx '. The 'xxxxxx' represents the last six letters or numbers of the MAC address for the range extender.

Turn on the camera. 5. The firmware update will begin automatically. A yellow flashing LED indicates that the camera is updating. 6. When the yellow flashing disappears, the firmware has been updated. After a successful update, the "firmware.bin" file's name will change to "firmware.bin.bakOO". This file can now be deleted.
