Re: Petition for Amendment to Add Aircraft to Samuel Fleishman’s Exemption. (Docket No. 

FAA-2015-1624, Exemption No. 12362) and Correct Clerical Error

Dear Sir or Madam:

Samuel Fleishman (Docket No. FAA-2015-1624, Exemption No. 12362) was granted an 

exemption to conduct aerial data collection and closed set TV/movie filming using the Freefly Systems 

Alta.

I. Aircraft Amendment

There is no request for additional relief from any further regulations. Samuel Fleishman requests 

for an amendment to that exemption to add onto its fleet the DJI Phantom 2, the Phantom 2 Vision +, the 

DJI Phantom 3, the DJI Inspire 1, the DJI S900, and the DJI 1000. Granting this exemption would not 

affect safety but will benefit the public because instead of dangerous helicopters being used, safer and 

quieter unmanned aircraft can be used under the restrictions outlined in the previously granted 

exemption. Samuel Fleishman agrees to operate under the same restrictions in the exemption. The 

petitioner will operate under the restrictions listed in the manufacturer’s manual below: 

 Phantom 2

Samuel Fleishman will operate only within the limitations in the previously granted exemption 

and the limitations listed in the manuals. The limitations, from the previously granted exemption, will be 

followed if there is a conflict with the manuals.

Since the drones have been previous evaluated in other exemptions, they will not set any 

precedent; therefore, there is good cause to waive the publishing of this petition in the Federal Register.

 Phantom 2 (Previously granted in Exemption No. 11699)

 Phantom 2 Vision + (Previously granted in in Exemption No. 11218)

 Phantom 3 (Previously granted in in Exemption No. 12594)

o Professional

o Advanced

 DJI S900 (Previously granted in Exemption No. 11697)

 DJI S1000 (Previously granted in Exemption No. 11554)

 DJI Inspire (Previously granted in Exemption No. 11607

II. Clerical Error

There is a clerical error on the previously granted exemption. The Petitioner’s name is Samuel

Fleishman. The exemption was made out incorrectly to Samuel Fleischman. There is no “c” in his name.

If I can be of any assistance to further expedite this petition, please do not hesitate to contact me 

at (561)222-6979 or at my email jon@jrupprechtlaw.com

Sincerely,
