- 70, and 3D Robotics Iris+ small Unmanned Aircraft Sy stems (sUAS) to conduct aerial photography and videograph y of re al propert y.

UAV Phantom 3 Professional: The DJ I Phantom 3 is a quad

- rotor Unmanned Aircraft S ys tem (UAS) weighing less than 3 pounds. The Phantom 3 s UAS that Gabriel Ladd Condie will be responsible for also utilizes a mobile ground station. The s UAS features a safety Return to Home function that in the event of a signal loss, the s UAS will return to a preset position and land. The Return to Home feature can also be triggered manually . The remote connects to your phone or tablet, and a 720p HD view of

co mplimented by

a Visual Observer who, along with the pilot, will maintain Visual Line of Sight with the sUAS at all times. sUASs are not able to carry passengers.

2. Extent of Relief that Gabriel Ladd Condie seeks in regards to Section 91.7(a) Civil Aircraft AirworthinessRelief from Section 91.7(a) is re quested to allow Gabriel Ladd Condie to determine

airworthiness of the sUAS . As part of this determination the following will be adhered to: a) Prior to the sUAS 's flight the PI C will inspect the s UA S to ensure it is in a condition that will be conducive for a safe flight. The ground control station will be in cluded in the above inspection. b) Gabriel Ladd Condie will follow the sUAS ’ s aircraft/component, maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection and life limit requirements. c) Gabriel Ladd Condie will comply w ith all manufacturer Safety Bulletins.

3. Extent of Relief that Gabriel Ladd Condie seeks in regards to Section 91.119 Minimum Safe Altitudes General relief from 91.119 is requested to allow Gabriel Ladd Condie to operate the sUAS at altitudes not to exceed 400’ AGL over private property at a distance at or gr eater than 5NM from the nearest airport as depicted on current Aeronautical Charts. Gabriel Ladd Condie also wishes to be granted exemption to operate at an altitude not greater than 50’ AGL (below tree level) between 1NM and 5NM from the nearest airport as depicted on current Aeronautical Charts. Gabriel Ladd Condie will adhere to the following in order to maintain an acceptable level of safet y associated with operations over private property: a) Gabriel Ladd Condie will display signs in the immediate vicinity of operations stating: “Aerial Photograph y in Progress. Use Caution.” b) Gabriel Ladd Condie will not allow the sUAS to operate at a speed greater than 10kts. c) Gabriel Ladd Condie will require the s UAS o perator (PI C) to be full y trained on the sUAS by adhering to the recommendations contained within the sUAS ’s operating manual. d) Gabriel Ladd Condie will not operate over private p ropert y without first finding a suitable alternate landing spot on the property. e) Gabriel Ladd Condie will abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies in accordance with the operating documents. f) Gabriel Ladd Condie will utilize a two man flight team consisting of the Pilot in Command (PI C) and a Visual Observer (VO). This team will maintain visual line of sight with the sUAS at all times and remain within hearing of one another. g) Gabriel Ladd Condie will not permit flight around vessels, vehicles and structures without permission from the owner. 4. Extent of Reli ef that Gabriel Ladd Condie seeks in regards to Section 91.121 Altimeter Settings

a. Relief from 91.121 is requested because the sUASs utilizes electronic GPS with a barometric sensor. In order to maintain an equal level of safety that 91.121 requires, the PI C of the s UAS will abort the flight in the events that the s UA S loses communications with the GPS signal. 5. Extent of Relief that Gabriel Ladd Condie seeks in re gards to Section 91.151(b) Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditi ons
a. Relief from 91.151(b) is requested to the extent that allows Gabriel Ladd Condie to operate the sUAS up to a point (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) that there is enough power to fl y at normal cruising speed to the intended landing poi nt and land the s UA S with 30% battery power remaining.6. Extent of Relief that Gabriel Ladd Condie seeks in regards to Sections 91.405(a),

91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1), and (a)(2), 91.417(a) and (b) These are all associated a with Airworthiness certificate 7. Rel ief from 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), and ( a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b) is requested to the extent that allows Gabriel L add Condie to operate the sUAS as necessary . These sections are all related to airworthiness certificates of aircraft. There is not currentl y an airworthiness certificate for aircraft s . There is not currentl y an airworthiness certificate for sUAS’s. 8. The s UASs. Gabriel Ladd Condie would comply in full to any

conditions and limitations that the Administrator wou ld place in order to receive an a pproved Grant of Exemption.

Public Interest: Aerial videograph y for real estate marketing 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 me would allow me to provide this service at a much lower cost. M y s UAS s will pose no threat to the public given its small size and lack of combustible fuel when compared to manned aircraft. Th e operation of m y s UAS s will minimize ecological damage and promote economic assisting the real estate market

.
Conclusion: As set forth herein, Gabriel Ladd Condie seeks an exemption pursuant to 14 C.F.R. §11.61 and Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA), which will permit safe operation of the s UAS commercially .
