Re: Exemption Request Section 333 of the FAA Reform Ac t of the Federal Aviation Regulations from 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F.R. Part 21; 14 C.F.R . 61.113(a)&(b); 91.7(a); 91.9(b) (2); 91.103(b); 91.109; 119.121; 91.151(a); 91.203(a)&(b ); 91.405(a); 91.407(a) (1); 91.409(a) (2); 91.417(a)&(b)

Dear Sir or Madam, I, Peter Boscas, am writing pursuant to the FAA Mode rnization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11, to reques t that I, Peter Boscas, an owner and operator of small unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Fe deral Aviation Regulations (“FARs”) listed below so that I, Peter Boscas, may operate my small ultralight weight unmanned aircraft system (“UAS”) commercially in airspace regulated by the F ederal Aviation Administration (“FAA”).

As described herein I, Peter Boscas, am a licensed R ealtor within the State of North Carolina (license # 271265); experienced in flying hobby hel icopters for recreational purposes. I currently have a UDI U818A 2.4GHz 4 CH 6 Axis Gyro RC Quad-co pter with Camera RTF Mode 2. However, I will be flying a DJI Phantom III Professio nal for the purpose of aerial photography, videography/cinematography to enhance real estate l istings; following exemption and approval by the FAA. While not required to operate, I reques ted and have invited by a greater Raleigh NC DJI Phantom III Professional reseller / instructor, to an in depth pilot training. This is one additional step that illustrates my commitment to b e specifically proficient with the very manufacturer and model I intend to fly for the purp ose of my real estate marketing business. I’ve included a hyperlink to the DJI Phantom III Pro fessional user manual below in appendix

B9.

I have flown small RC electric helicopters recreati onally for approximately 3 years without incident. Additionally I grew up with my father who was an experienced private pilot; instilling in me early on to respect the rules and regulations of aviation as governed by the FAA. I too have accrued 100+ hours of flight time in a Cessna 152, 172 and a high performance Mooney M20F with 201 mods. I’m highly sensitive and respectful of the FAA and its commitment to safety and I share the same values. My, Peter Boscas’, exemptio n request would permit operation of ultralight weight, unmanned (piloted by remote cont rol) and comparatively inexpensive UAS(s) in tightly controlled and limited airspace.3 Predete rmined in areas away from general public, airports, heliports and vehicular traffic within pr operty boundaries for individual homeowner real estate listing 1 Appendix A – U818A quad-copte r Operator Manual hyperlink 2 Appendix B – DJI Phantom II Vision + User Manual hyperlink 3 A ppendix C - RDU 5 mile “drone no fly zone” airport radius hyperlink Peter Boscas, Realtor ®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 Exemption Petition Page 2 of 9 Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore , MD - Section 333 Exemption Petition videos/photos. Currently, similar lightweight, remo te controlled UAS's are legally operated by unmonitored amateur hobbyists with no safety plan o r controls in place to prevent catastrophe. I, Peter Boscas, have personally instilled safety pr otocols and controls4 to avoid and preventPage 2

public hazard, as well as manned aircraft hazards/c atastrophe. This will act to further safety protocols exclusive to lightweight UAS's specific t o real estate video and photography usage as I, Peter Boscas, record flight data and other informati on gained through permitted flight operations to share with the FAA through any requir ed FAA reports to assist with future protocol and safety regulation.

Granting my, Peter Boscas’, request comports with th e Secretary of Transportation’s (FAA Administrator’s) responsibilities and authority to not only integrate UAS's into the national airspace system, but to “...establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems [UAS's] in the national airspace system” under Sect ion 333(c) of the Reform Act specific to the use of UAS's for real estate/Realtor purposes. Furt her I, Peter Boscas, will conduct my operations in compliance with the protocols describ ed herein or as otherwise established by the

FAA.

For the reasons stated below I, Peter Boscas, respec tfully request the grant of an exemption allowing me to operate ultralight weight, remote co ntrolled UAS’s to enhance real estate listing videos for homeowners who cannot afford expensive m anned aircraft for the same purpose. Hence promoting local economic growth through incre ased employment and increased tax base. Always with public safety in mind by keeping heavie r manned aircraft containing combustible fuel that that poses potential public hazard.

II. The Specific Sections of Title 14 of the Code of Fe deral Regulations From Which Peter Boscas Requests Exemption are:

14 CFR 21; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 CFR 61.113 (a) & (b);
14 C.F.R. 91, et seq.; 14 CFR 407 (a) (1); 14 CFR 409 (a) (2); and, 14 CFR 417 (a) & (b).

III. The Extent of relief Peter Boscas seeks and the Rea son He Seeks Such Relief:

I, Peter Boscas, submit this application in accordan ce with the Reform Act, 112 P.L. 95 §§ 331- 334, seeking relief from any currently applicable F ARs operating to prevent me, Peter Boscas, contemplated commercial cinematic, academic and oth er flight operations within the national airspace system. The Reform Act in Section 332 prov ides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft systems into our national airspace system as it is in the public’s interest to do so. My, Peter Boscas’, ultralight weight UAS meets the defin ition of “small unmanned aircraft” as defined in Section 331 and therefore the integratio n of my ultralight weight UAS is expresslyPage 3

contemplated by the Reform Act. I would like to ope rate my ultralight weight UAS prior to the time period by which the Reform Act requires the FA A to promulgate rules governing such craft. Thereby, providing direct experience and valuable i nformation for formal regulation that can be administered uniformly to all real estate related U AS aerial video and photography. The Reform Act guides the Secretary in determining the types o f UAS's that may operate safely in our national airspace system. Considerations include: T he weight, size, speed and overall capabilities of the UAS's; whether the UAS will be operated near airports or heavily populated areas; and, Whether the UAS will be operated by lin e of sight. 112 P.L. 95 § 333 (a). Each of these items reflect in favor of an exemption for me , Peter Boscas. My UAS utilizes four (4) counter-rotating propellers for balance, control an d stability. My UAS is equipped with GPS and auto return safety technology. Weighing less than f ive (5) pounds (far below the maximum 55 pound limit); including camera with gimbal.

I, Peter Boscas, consider safety of paramount import ance with each flight. The Phantom III Professional unmanned aircraft is designed to hover in place via GPS and operate in wind up to 25 mph. For safety, stability and fear of financial loss I will not fly in winds exceeding 15 mph.

The Phantom III Professional is feature rich includin g multiple safety features including Radar Positioning & Return Home, Programmable Way Points and No Fly Zone firmware to name a

few. I’ve also included various videos that demonst rate the Phantom III Professional capabilities. When pilot communication is lost UAS is designed to slowly and automatically descend to point of takeoff. I do not and will not operate my UAS within a 5 mile radius of airports, Hospitals nor Police heliports, and do no t operate near areas where general public is within fifty to one hundred (50-100) yards dependin g on location, conditions and weather. I am constantly on alert for any manned aircraft (Police/ Medical helicopters, etc.) and prepared to land/abort immediately to the nearest and safest gr ound point should a manned aircraft approach my location or I suspect manned aircraft m ay approach near my location. My UAS is capable of vertical and horizontal operations, and are flown only within my line of sight of me, as the remote control pilot. Utilizing battery powe r rather than combustible fuels, flights generally last between five (5) to ten (10) minutes , but no more than twenty (20) minutes with an altitude under one hundred fifty (150) feet.

I, Peter Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore, MD - Sect ion 333 Exemption Petition Page 4 of 9 Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 Exemption Petition Boscas, utilize a fresh fully charged battery with each flight as a safety precaution; full flight time limit for each battery is twenty-five (25) minutes as tested. I do not ope rate my UAS at or below manufacture recommend minimum charge levels for operation; pref erring to remain well within a safe operating range to insure adequate communication be tween radio control and UAS to eliminate potential for crash, loss of control or hazard. Res erve batteries are at hand with each exercise to insure replacement for sufficient safe level of ope ration. I do not believe in taking risk that may cause a crash that could create hazard to the publi c/property/manned aircraft, and have no

desire to lose an investment. I have clocked numero us practice flights in remote areas as a hobbyist simulating flights for future commercial u se to gain familiarization with characteristics specific to UAS's performances under different temp erature and weather conditions. I also practice computerized simulated flights to maintain adequate skills and response reflex time. All for the sake of safety.

I, Peter Boscas, am extremely cautious when operatin g of my UAS/ultralight weight unmanned

aircraft and will not “create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public.” 112 P.L. 95 § 333 (b). Given the small size and weight o f my UAS it falls well within Congress’s contemplated safety zone when it promulgated the Re form Act and the corresponding directive to integrate UAS's into the national airspace syste m. Peter Boscas’ UAS, used in hobby flight,Page 4

has a demonstrable safety record and does not pose any threat to the general public or national security.

IV. How Peter Boscas’ Request Will Benefit the Publ ic As A Whole:

Aerial photography and videography for real estate marketing has been around for a long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. For small budget real estate companies and average homeowners the expense of such aerial video graphy is cost prohibitive. Only large companies and high end Realtors or luxury homeowner s can afford to absorb such expenses. Hence depriving non-luxury homeowners and lower bud get Realtors from a valuable marketing tool. Manned aircraft pose a threat to the public t hrough potential catastrophic crashes. My, Peter Boscas’, UAS pose no such threat since size an d lack of combustible fuel alleviates potential threats to the public.

Congress has already proclaimed that it is in the p ublic’s interest to integrate commercially flown UAS's into the national airspace system, henc e the passing of the Reform Act. Granting my, Peter Boscas’, exemption request opens possibili ties to further the public interest through academic/visual awareness of the geographical benef its in and around the metro Raleigh area. I intend to become a steward in my respected market d emonstrating the proper way to operate a UAS for real estate marketing purposes. My ultralig ht weight UAS is battery powered and

creates no emissions that can harm the environment. The consequence of my ultralight weight UAS crashing is far less than a full size helicopte r or fixed wing aircraft; which are heavy, contain combustible fuel and can cause catastrophic devastation to the public. Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 Exemption Peti tion Page 5 of 9 Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 Exemption Petition The p ublic’s interest is furthered by minimizing ecological and crash threat by permittin g aerial video/photo capture through my battery operated ultralight weight UAS's. Permitting me, Peter Boscas, to immediately fly within national air space furthers economic growth. Granti ng my exemption request substantially furthers the economic impact for individuals lookin g to relocate for career advancement through academic and geographical awareness.

V. Reasons Why Peter Boscas’ Exemption Will Not Adv ersely Affect Safety Or How The Exemption Will Provide a Level of Safety At Lea st Equal To Existing Rule:

My, Peter Boscas’, exemption will not adversely affe ct safety. Quite the contrary, for the reasons stated permitting me, Peter Boscas, to log more flig ht time in FAA controlled airspace, with communication with the FAA, will allow me to contri bute to the innovation and implementation of new and novel, as of yet undiscovered safety pro tocols for Realtors that can be embraced by the NAR6 , AAR7 , and TAR8 for development in coope ration with the FAA. In addition I, Peter Boscas, submit the following representations of enh ancements to current aerial videography and photography for real estate:

• My UAS weighs 1242g (including battery and propelle rs) with a small ultralight weight high quality integrated camera;

• I only operate my UAS below 200 feet9 (well within the 400 foot permissible ceiling set by the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012);

• My UAS will only operate no more than 20 minutes pe r flight;

• I land my UAS prior to manufacturer recommended min imum level of battery power;

• I pilot my UAS through remote control only by line of sight;

• My UAS has GPS a flight safety feature whereby it ho vers and then slowly lands if communication with the remote control pilot is lost ;Page 5

• I actively analyze flight data and other sources of information to constantly update and enhance safety protocols;

• I only operate in reasonably safe environment that are strictly controlled, are away from power lines, elevated lights, airports and actively populated areas;

• I conduct extensive pre-flight inspections and prot ocol, during which safety carries primary importance;

• I always obtains all necessary permissions prior to operation; and,

• I have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or potential danger.

• My, Peter Boscas’, safety protocols provide a level of safety equal to or exceeding existing rules. It is important to note that absent the inte gration of commercial UAS into our national airspace system, helicopters are the prima ry means of aerial video and photography for community awareness and real estate . While the safety record of such helicopters is remarkably astounding, it is far saf er to operate a battery powered ultralight weight UAS.

• First, the potential loss of life is diminished bec ause UAS's carry no people on board and I only operate my UAS in specific areas away from m ass populations.

• Second, there is no fuel on board a UAS and thus th e potential for fire or explosions is greatly diminished.

• Third, the small size and extreme maneuverability o f my UAS allow me to remotely pilot away from and avoid hazards quickly and safely.

• Lastly, given its small size and weight, even when close enough to capture amazing images, my UAS need not be so close to the objects they are focused on through the technology and use of post editing software allowin g pan and zoom.

Accordingly, my UAS has been experimentally operate d for familiarization/competency and will continue to operate at and above current safety lev els.

VI. A Summary The FAA May Publish in the Federal Re gister:

A. 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 91: Airworthiness Certif icates, Manuals and

the Like.

14 C.F.R. 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Cer tificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR § 91.203(a)(1). The size, weight and enclosed operational area of m y, Peter Boscas’, UAS permits exemption from Part 21 because my UAS meets (and exc eeds) an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. T he FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate require ment under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 (f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. My, Peter Boscas’, current and projecte d UAS's meet or exceed each of the

elements.

14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibits the operation of an air craft without an airworthiness certificate. As no such certificate will be applica ble in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is inapplicable.Page 6 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft fligh t manual in the aircraft. As there are no on board pilots or passengers, and given the size o f the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a safety/flight manual delineating areas of where safety can be def ined.10 The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption N os. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 9565B, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700 and 32827.

14 C.F.R. § 91.121 regarding altimeter settings is inapplicable insofar as my UAS utilizes electronic global positioning systems with a barome tric sensor. 14 C.F.R. § 91.203 (a) and (b) provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and registrations. They are inapplicable for the same reasons described abo ve. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining any such required certif ications and registrations by me,

Peter Boscas.

A. 14 C.F.R. § 45.23: Marking of The Aircraft.

Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require airc raft to be marked according to certain specifications. My UAS are, by definition, unmanned. They therefore do not have a cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, twoinch lettering is difficult to place on such small aircraft with dimensions smaller that minimal lettering requirement. Regardl ess, I will mark its UASs in the largest possible lettering by placing the word “EXPE RIMENTAL” on its fuselage as required by 14 C.F.R. §45.29 (f) so that I the pilo t, or anyone assisting me as a spotter with the UAV will see the markings. The FAA has pre viously issued exemptions to this regulation through Exemptions Nos. 8738, 10167, 101 67A and 10700.

B. 14 C.F.R. § 61.113: Private Pilot Privileges and Li mitations: PIC.

Pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b), private p ilots are limited to non-commercial operations. I, Peter Boscas, can achieve an equivale nt level of safety as achieved by current Regulations because my UAS does not carry a ny pilots or passengers. Further, while helpful, a pilot license will not ensure remo te control piloting skills. The risks attended to the operation of my UAS is far less tha n the risk levels inherent in the commercial activities outlined in 14 C.F.R. § 61, e t seq. Thus, allowing me, Peter Boscas, to operate my UAS meet and exceed current safety le vels in relation to 14 C.F.R. §61.113 (a) & (b).

C. 14 C.F.R. 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes.

14 C.F.R. § 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for th e operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to be operated at lower altitudes in ce rtain conditions. My UAS will never operate at an altitude greater than 200 AGL; safely below the standard of 400 AGL. I, Peter Boscas, will however operate my UAS in safe ar eas away from public and traffic, providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below those in relation to minimum safe altitudes. Given the size, weight, maneuverabi lity and speed of my UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achiev ed.

D. 14 C.F.R. 91.405 (a); 407 (a) (1); 409 (a) (2); 417 (a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections.Page 7 10 Appendix E - Safety/FlightManual Peter Boscas, Re altor®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 Exemption Petition Page 8 of 9 Peter Boscas, Realt or®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 ExemptionPetition

The above-cited Regulations require, amongst other things, aircraft owners and operators to “have [the] aircraft inspected as pres cribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provi ded in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 4 3 of this chapter. . . .”

These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an ai rworthiness certificate. They will not, therefore, apply to my, Peter Boscas’, UAS. However , as a safety precaution I inspect my UAS before and after each flight.

A Summary The FAA May Publish in the Federal Registe r: A. 14 C.F.R. 21 and 14 C.F.R. 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals and the Lik e. 14 C.F.R. 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR § 91. 203(a)(1). The size, weight and enclosed operational area of my UAS permits exempti on from Part 21 because my, Peter Boscas’, UAS meets an equivalent level of safety pu rsuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 U.S.C. § 44701 ( f)) and Section 333 of the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to e xempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the wei ght, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense popul ations. My UAS meets or exceeds each of the elements. 14 C.F.R. 91.7(a) prohibits t he operation of an aircraft without an

airworthiness certificate. As no such certificate w ill be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is inappl icable. 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are no pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a manual. Th e FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 860 7, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 9565B, 10167, maintenance program that involves reg ular software updates and curative measures for any damaged hardware. Therefo re, an equivalent level of safety

will be achieved.

In summary, Peter Boscas seeks an exemption from th e following Regulations:

14 C.F.R. 21, subpart H; 14 C.F.R. 45.23(b); 14 C.F .R. §§ 61.113 (a) & (b); 14 C.F.R. § 91.7 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.9 (b)(2); 14 C.F.R. § 91.103(b); 14 C.F .R. § 91.109; 14 C.F.R. § 91.119; 14 C.F.R. § 91.121; 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a); 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.203( a) and (b); 14 C.F.R. § 91.405 (a); 14 C.F.R. § 91.407 (a)(1); 14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a)(2); 14 C.F.R. § 91.409 (a ) (2); and, 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.417 (a) & (b) to commercially operate my, Peter Boscas’, small unmanned vehicle/lightweight unmanned aircraft vehicle in community awareness and real es tate operations, and to develop economic platforms for real estate to enhance the experience of those seeking to relocate to the metro Raleigh area. Currently, area awareness and real es tate aerial videography/photography relies primarily on the use of larger aircraft running on combustible fuel. Therefore posing potential risk to the public. Granting my, Peter Boscas’, requ est for exemption will reduce current risk levels and thereby enhance safety. My UAS craft do not contain potentially Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 Exemption Peti tion Page 9 of 9 Peter Boscas, Realtor®, Baltimore, MD - Section 333 ExemptionPetition explos ive fuel, is smaller, lighter and more

maneuverable than conventional real estate video an d photographic aircraft with much lessPage 8

flight time. Further, I operate at lower altitudes and in controlled airspace eliminating potential public risk flying to and from established air fiel ds. I, Peter Boscas, have been informally analyzing flight information and will compile safet y protocols and the implementation of a flight operations manual for real estate usage that exceed s currently accepted means and methods for safe flight. Formal collection of information share d with the FAA will enhance the FAA's internal efforts to establish protocols for complying with t he FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012. There are no personnel on board my, Peter Bosc as’, UAS and therefore the likelihood of death or serious bodily injury is significantly dim inished. My, Peter Boscas’, operation of my UAS, weighing less than 5 pounds and travelling at lower speeds within limited areas will provide an equivalent level of safety as that achie ved under current FARs. Accordingly I, Peter Boscas, respectfully request that the FAA grant my exemption request and am willing to cooperate in sharing information to benefit the FAA , safety of manned aircraft, and the general public at large.
