Dear Mr. Woessner :

This letter is to inform you that we have granted your petition for an amendment. It explains the basis for our decision, describes its effect, and lists any changes to the original conditions

and limitations.

By letter posted to the public do cket on October 26, 2015

, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Aerial Enterprises, Inc. (hereinafter petitioner or operator)

for an amendment to your current exemption . That exemption from §§ 61.23(a) and ( c ), 61.101(e)(4 ) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a) , 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) allows the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data

c ollection and closed

- set motion picture and television filming. You requested an amendment

to add the DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, DJI Phantom 3 Professional, DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, DJI Inspire 1, Ascending Technology Falcon 8, and Rob oFlight RF70

.

In your petition, you indicate that there has been no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public interest and safety that were the basis for granting the original exemption.

The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary o f the petition

in the Federal Register because the requested amendment to the exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this pe tition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. T he

unmanned aircraft authorized in the original grant are comparable in type, size, weight, speed and operating capabilities to those in this petition

.

Airworthiness Certification

In accordance with the statutory criteria provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

− 95 in

reference to 49 U.S.C. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited2

operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation

has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Sect ion 333. Therefore, the FAA

finds that relief from 14 CFR part 21, C ertification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates , and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary.

Our De cision

The FAA has determined that the justification for the issuance of Exemption No. 12432 remains valid and is in the public interest. Therefore, under the authority contained

in 49 U.S.C

. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator

, the operator is granted an amendment to add new aircraft to its UAS operations.

The operator shall add this amendment to its original exemption.

Conditions and Limitations

All conditions and limitations within Grant of Exemption No. 12432 remain in effect except as follows. Condition No. 1 has been updated to reflect the additional aircraft

.

1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the DJI Spreading Wings S1000+ and 3D Robotics Iris+

, DJI Phantom 2 Vision +, DJI Phantom 3 Professional, DJI Phantom 3 Advanced, DJI Inspire 1, Ascending Technology Falcon
8, and RoboFlight RF70 when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption.

T his exemption terminates on August 31, 2017 , unless sooner superseded or re scinded.
