http://www.bladchelis.com/Prodlnfo/Files/13LH8000-Manual—EN.pdf 
Aircraft Maintenance 

To ensure safe operational control. A maintenance schedule will be followed, 

personal tailored maintenance manual has been created, and quality 

replacement parts will be used. 

— Inspection: Before and after every flight, the quadcopter's operational 

condition will be inspected for damage and deterioration. 

— Replacement Parts will be purchased from Blade Manufactures. 

— Repairs will be performed by a professional authorized retailer of the 

Blade products where purchased from. 
Safety Concerns 

Spotter for Hazards: To ensure safety, either the co-listing agent, seller, or 

another party, will be on site to review hazards before and during the flight. 

Population of intended Areas: To ensure safety, all non-essential personnel 

will be removed from the area. There will be no flight over heavily 

populated areas like stadiums, schools, malls, airports, casinos, and freeways. 

Airports: To ensure pilot(s) safety, there will be no flight in or around airports 

unless explicit written permission is granted. 

Heavy Air Space Traffic: To ensure pilot safety, there will be minimal flight 

in heavy flight traffic areas or in known flight patterns. 

Weather: To ensure safety of spotter, co-listing agents, property owners, and 

pet and wildlife flights will be conducted in optimal weather conditions. 

Return-to-Home Features: In the event the Blade 350QX loses signal or runs 

critically low on battery the UAS has a GPS controlled return to home 

feature. The "Home" is set upon flight startup. 

Flying in Confined Areas: There is a high probability of flying in confined 

spaces, around residential properties. 
Potential Hazards 

The following are potential hazards that may or may not be present during 

flight operations. 

— Jets, Airplanes, Gliders and other UASs. 

— Houses, Commercial Buildings, Shops, and Out Buildings. 

— Power Lines, Low Voltage Lines, High Voltage Lines, Cable Lines 

— Trees, Shrubs, Hedges 

— Automobiles and Rvs 

— Wildlife, both land and air 

— Rivers, Lakes, Ponds, Sounds, Straits, and Other Bodies of Water 

— Unaccounted for People 

— Unaccounted for Pets 
Privacy Concerns 

During flight operations, privacy concerns are of the highest priority. 

With each commercial flight a signed Addendum from our Real Estate Team 

will be in place (See Exhibit A). 

In addition, I will have a Seller/Properry Owner signed letter authorizing the 

UAS's use for marketing purposes. (Exhibit B). 

Neighboring parcels or properties: During each flight operation, the UAS 

pilot will be extremely mindful of neighboring parcels to not film, record, or 

take pictures of people and property without their written and signed consent. 

Suburban Homes and Properties 

Homes that are within residential neighborhoods, it is easy for the camera°s 

field of view to record and take pictures of homes and properties that are not 

intended to be advertised for sale. As the UAS increases altitude, so does the 

risk of inadvertently filming a home or property that hasn't given written 

permission to do so. 

However, in many home property listing pictures it happens that neighboring 

homes are in the advertising pictures due to the neighboring layout and 

neighboring properties. 

It is the opinion of Robert McArtor that higher altitude video and pictures are 

not as effective when advertising a suburban home because: 

1. Higher altitude video and pictures isn't that useful in showing the lot's 

layout. 

2. It is easy to discern lot lines and property boundaries from ground level 

recorded plat maps. 

3. Privacy is an instant concern. 
Properties with Acreage 

Homes and properties with acreage have a higher degree of uncertainty when 

trying to determine lot lines, boundaries, proximity to neighboring properties 

than a suburban home. Also, people looking to purchase a home with 

acreage, or a larger lot, have a higher degree of interest on knowing were the 

approximate lot lines are from an aerial perspective. That is why homes and 

property with acreage makes more sense to film with a UAS. 

Homes with View & Waterfront 

People looking to purchase and/or sell a home, or a property, with a view, or 

on waterfront, want to see the home or properry from an aerial perspective 

and to be showcased in this format. This is part of property owner profile. In 

addition, even though neighboring parcels might be shown in the picture and 

video, the neighboring properties will only be included if it is necessary to 

the subject property's marketing materials. 
Oberational Conditions 

To capture high resolution images and video operational conditions will be 

closely monitored because showcasing a home in the best light is the utmost 

client priority. 

Day Time: 

1. Sunny Weather is Highly Preferred 

2. Little to No Cloud Cover 

3. Zero to Low Wind Speeds 

4. High Visibility Conditions 

No Night-Time Operations are Scheduled

18. NOTICE OF PROPERTY CONDITION DISCLOSURE/DISCLAIMER: Seller is advised that under 

Maryland Law (Real Property Article 10-702), the buyer is entitled to receive the Maryland Residential Property 

Disclosure And Disclaimer Statement ("disclosure/disclaimer statement"), a form provided by the Maryland Real 

Estate Commission, from the Seller. Seller must deliver the completed disclosure/disclaimer statement to the 

buyer on or before the buyer's entering into a Contract of Sale (offer to purchase) (with the exception of a Land 

Installment Contract, an Option to Purchase Agreement and a Lease Agreement containing an Option to 

Purchase provision, in which case the disclosure/disclaimer statement must be delivered to the buyer before the 

execution of the Contract by the buyer). A buyer who does not receive the disclosure/disclaimer statement on 

or before the execution of the offer by the buyer has the unconditional right upon written notice to the Seller or 

Seller's agent, to rescind the Contract of Sale at any time before the receipt of the disclosure/disclaimer 

statement or within five (5) days following receipt of the disclosure/disclaimer statement and to the immediate 

return of any deposit. However a buyer's right to rescind the Contract terminates if not exercised (A) before 

making a written application to a lender for a loan, if the lender discloses in writing at or before the time 

application is made that the right to rescind terminates upon submission of the application, or (B) within five (5) 

days following receipt of a written disclosure from a lender who has received the buyer's application for a 

mortgage loan, if the lender's disclosure states that the buyer's right to rescind terminates at the end of that five 

(5) day period. Maryland Law (Real Property Article 10-702) exempts certain transfers or sales from its
