Dear Sir or Madam:

This application is being submitted on my own behalf without legal counsel or consulting

services.

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act)

and 14 C.F.R. Part 11, I, Brian Ozga, operator of Small Un manned Aircraft Systems (“SUASs”) equipped to

conduct aerial photography and vid eography, hereby applies for an exemption from the listed Federal

Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) to allow commercial operation of its SUASs, so long as such operations are

conducted within and under the conditions outlined herein or as m ay be established by the FAA as

required by Section 333.1

I request this exemption in order to operate my UAV/UAS, DJI Phantom 3 Advanced , in order to

provide services for profit to include aerial pho tography and aerial cinematography for real estate,

landscaping companies and construction firms

, agricultural modeling, crop monitoring operations, aerial

mapping, special events to include but not limited to weddings, private or public parties/events,

business advertising, promotional ev ents, geological surveying, environmental studies , and sUAS flight

training

. T he requested exemption would permit the operation of sUAS under controlled conditions in

the NAS that would be a) limited b) controlled c) predetermined and d) will provide safety

enhancements to the already safe operations in the industry presently using conventional aircraft.

Approval of this exemption would thereby enhance safety and fulfill the Secretary of Transportation’s

(the FAA Administrator’s) responsibilit ies to “....establish requirements for the safe operation of such

aircraft systems in the national airspace system.”

I currently hold a n ATP pilot certificate, number 2675952, a Certified Flight Instructor Certificate,

number 2675952CFI, an A&P Mecha nic certificate, number 2675951, a first class medical certificate, and

an FCC Restricted Radiotelephone Operator Permit. I have over 7000 hours of flight time in various

aircraft including single engine, multi engine, turboprops and jets. I have al so accumulated over 50

hours of flight time in the DJI Phantom 3, using it for pers onal use, and would like to e xpand in to

commercial use. I will operate this UAS as I would operate any aircraft I fly, with safety being the utmost

importance

, as well as making sure I am within full compliance of any and all Federal Aviation

Regulations.

The ability to provide these services to other local businesses and individuals in my community

will benefit them by opening up opportunities they otherwise did not have before. Traditional methods

of aerial photography/videography are simply not viable options for the average consumer as they arecostly and involve g reater risks to everyone involved; i.e. the use of larger aircraft carrying humans and

flammable fuel. By utilizing the UAV/UAS the same results can be achieved with much safer conditions

.

Prior to each flight/operation of the UAV/UAS, I will conduct a thorough Pre

- Flight Safety

Inspection as outline d in the attached safety guidelines manual. All flights will be performed in

authorized airspace, verified by using aeronautical VFR charts. Flights will not take place over densely

populated areas or private property without the owner ’ s permission. The UA V/UAS will only be

operated within visual line of sight and will not be flown near airports or above 400 feet. Any and all

repairs will be performed only by the manufacturers authorize d repair facilities/ providers and a record

log will be kept of these repairs. The FAA can be confident that operations of this UAV/UAS will achieve

at least the equiva lent or greater level of safety

The specific sections of 14 C.F.R from which I am seeking exemption are as follows:

14 C.F.R. Part 21;

14 C.F.R. 45.23(b);

14 C.F.R. 61.101(e)(4), & (5);

14 C.F.R. 91.409(a)(2};

14 C.F.R. 91.417(a) & (b).

Thank you for your time and consideration to my request.

Sincerely,

Brian Ozga
