Re: Re: DocketFAA2015-0630, Petition for Amendmentto Exemption No. 11666A DearMr. Williams: AeroView Services, LLC received FAA Exemption No. 11666A on September 11th, 2015 authorizing AeroView Services, LLC under section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 to operate an unmanned aircraft system ("UAS"), the Trimble Navigation UX5, Trimble Navigation UX5 HP and Sensefly eXom for various commercial purposes. In this present petition for an amendment to Exemption No. 11666A, Aero View Services, LLC seeks to operate the DJI Inspire and DJI Phantom UAS's for the same purposes. The Inspire, weighing approximately 7 pounds (Maximum Take Off Weight) and the Phantom, weighing approximately 3 pounds (Maximum Take OffWeight), each contain a rich array of advanced integrated sensors. These sensors provide the user with full situational awareness to support obstacle avoidance:

• The IMU incorporates both a 6-axis gyroscope and an accelerometer to monitor miniscule changes in tilt and movement. This allows the aircraft to compensate and adjust immediately, holding its position atall times. Each motor is managed individually by the Electronic Speed Controllers. ESCs relay vital motor speed information to the Main Controller and send commands back to the motors based on your input Constant communication keeps the Inspire and Phantom stable in flight. • Numerous other sensors, including GPS and the main controller maximize the UAS's stability and safety. The Phantom and Inspire offer different flight modes to suit every project: semi
-automatic mode (waypoint navigation) or interactive mode (using the suppliedjoypadto navigate and orientate the UAS via computer screen). In any situation, RC-based manual control always remains available as a backup function. The Phantom and Inspire are particularly safe. They were developed with flexible material to absorb potential shocks, and offer a shroudto protectthe propellers. AeroView Services, LLC will comply with all ofthe conditions and limitations imposed in Exemption 11666A except that condition/limitation number 1 will need to be revised to include the Dll Phantom and Inspire UAS's. The list of "operating documents" will also need to be revised to include the Phantom and Inspire operating, safety and maintenance manuals. Other than these revisions, there will be no change in the conditions and reasons relative to public safetythat were the basis for the initial grant ofexemption. Suppmting documents listed as exhibits two through SIX were emailed to 333exemptions@faa.gov on 2-2-16. AeroView requests that the prop1ietary informationin exhibits one through five remain confidential in our amendment submission.
