Re: FAA Docket FAA-2015-1 005 Petition- Amendment Request 

To Whom it May Concern: 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) assigned Eagle View Aerial Imaging LLC (hereafter 

"Operator") an exemption number 11790 (the "Exemption"), a docket number FAA-2015-1 005 (the 

"Docket"), pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (the Reform Act) 

and 14 C.F.R. Part 11. That Exemption when granted authorizes commercial operations by Operator. 

Operator herewith requests that its Exemption be amended, to the extent necessary, to make the 

following changes: 

1. Change the name of the Operator to: Sierra Pro Aerial Imaging, LLC 

The Operator changed the company name from Eagle View Aerial Systems, LLC to Sierra Pro 

Aerial Imaging, LLC in December 2015 to eliminate confusion in the marketplace with a 

company of a similar name. Reference enclosed copy of LLC-2 Amendment to Articles of 

Organization. The LLC manager (and chief unmanned aerial system (UAS) operator) remain the 

same, John Monaco. 

2. Add the following purposes/missions to the Operator's docket petition: 

1. Filmmaking (open and closed-set), television broadcast, and news-gathering along with the 

enclosed company confidential Sierra Pro Aerial Imaging Motion Picture and Television Flight 

Operations Manual ·(MPTFOM). 

This petition indicates that there are no changes in the conditions and reasons relative to public 

interest and safety that are in the original docket number for granting of this exemption. 

The unmanned aircraft authorized in the original docket are comparable in type, size, weight, speed 

and operations capabilities to those in this amendment petition. 

As this amended Exemption request is identical to exemptions that already have been granted, this 

request should qualify for summary processing. The FAA has issued grants of exemption in 

circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in this petition.

through (c) of the Reform Act.

provide an equivalent level of safety for the operation of the its approved aircraft type for the purposes 

requested herein. 

THE REQUESTED AMENDMENT IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST
