RE: Exemption Request Under Section 333 of the FAA Reform Act, and Part 11 of the 

Federal Aviation Regulations 

To Whom It May Concern: 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and seeks exemption under Section 333 of 

the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 ("the Act") and 14 CFR Part 11, and 

applicable Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs"), to allow commercial operations of its 

UASs consistent with other similar exemption requests which have been granted and as 

generally described herein. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., proposes to use the DJI Inspire, DJI Phantom 3 Vision, and DJI 

Phantom 2 Vision Plus, in its unmanned aerial surveillance vehicles utilizing the National 

Air Space for commercial purposes. As more fully described below, the requested 

exemption would support an application for commercial Certificate of Authorization for 

the below generally described purposes: 

Aerial Data Collection 

This will include any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) about the UA. 

Examples include imagery (photography, video, infrared, etc.) electronic measurement (precision 

surveying RF analysis, etc.), chemical measurement (particulate measurement~ etc.), or any other 

gathering of data by instruments aboard the UA. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., will stay current and in compliance with all state laws which may pertain to 

this category. 

Commercial operation small UAS, as described herein, which are equipped with cameras and 

sensors, would operate in the following manner: 

liDrone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
1. Aerial photography and/or video for public use including real estate and land surveying. 

UAS provide a unique tool to those engaged in such professional services to capture 

imagery not normally available to the public without either (1) expensive effort using 

actual private aircraft or (2) substantial risk to the photographer. UAS 's have been 

demonstrated to be successfully and efficiently used in this application. 

2. Aerial video and/or photography for public and/or private use including public events, 

surveillance of sporting events, concerts, with appropriate permissions. Drone Viu's 

proposed operational parameters ensure safety of the public at such events, and would 

require strict permission of the landowner and/or event manager. 

3. Accident investigations including inspection/video/photography of(tire marks, damages), 

fire damages, and for preserving evidence. The principals of Drone Viu, L.L.C., have 

direct experience with property and casualty and liability insurance accident 

investigation. Often the accident scenes have debris and can be hazardous for personnel 

on the site. UAS offers a solution to capture imagery and preservation of evidence that 

will minimize the risk of harm to those conducting the investigation. 

4. Aerial video/photography or providing live video feed to assist with search and rescue 

operations in cases of an emergency or natural disaster only when the local authorities or 

government has requested it by contract. Small UAS's may aid and support search efforts 

in many situations for a fraction of the cost in risk, and resources. Each of our drones 

have the capability of "looking down" with high resolution video cameras to survey and 

search an area. Via on-board video recorder or FPV (first person view) technology, we 

can survey extensive terrain in real time. Once a subject of interest is located, the exact 

location can be relayed back to the ground crew. Onboard video can also be downloaded 

for post-flight inspection. Average flight times for the UAS's are usually between 10-25 

minutes giving the pilot enough time with several batteries to scan an area miles in 

diameter using a zig-zag sweep pattern or expanding spiral search pattern. One drone can 

search an extensive area in minutes that might take an entire group of ground personnel 

to cover in hours. 

5. Aerial inspection/video/photography of cell towers. These operations would take place 

with express written permission from the owner of the property for the purpose of 

obtaining detailed structural information. These operations would be conducted in 

airspace previously reviewed by the FAA for the initial construction of the tower and 

therefore the airspace of the controlled area would create no hazard to the NAS. Drone 

Viu, LLC has already been contacted by several cell tower owners regarding this service. 

Typically an individual must climb a tower to do proper inspections, which is legally 

classified as ultra-hazardous activity. UAS application eliminates or minimizes this risk. 

6. Aerial inspection/video/photography for the construction industry. Drones are already in 

use carrying out surveying and mapping tasks on construction sites. The value of drones 

in construction enables "perspective" viewing as well as safe video capturing of 

construction work in progress. These small vehicles remain can effortlessly fly with 

onboard high-res cameras relaying progress shots and aerial surveys to construction 

2jorone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
teams on the ground. This is a cost-cutting measure for construction firms and is a 

roofing industry already forming an integral part of business operations for innovative 

construction firms the world over. 

7. Aerial inspection/video/photography for the Insurance Industry. Drones are already in use 

for on-site evaluation of property damage caused by weather. A drone effectiveness is 

seen in the ability to immediately send it out to evaluate damage within hours of it 

occurring. Disaster areas are extremely dangerous settings for adjusters. The remaining 

structures are often unstable and the surrounding area filled with premises hazards. 

Claims adjusting with a UAS as a tool to inspect into areas of a catastrophic loss will 

save time, minimize risk, and enhance the accuracy and timeliness of the claims 

evaluation process. 

8. Aerial inspection/video/photography for the Oil And Gas industry. UAS offer the Oil and 

Gas industry new capabilities that reduce cost and operational risk while also improving 

efficiency. UAS can be used to measure and quantify oil spills, determine how the oil is 

moving in water and provide information and imagery to the command center. Infrared 

(IR) imaging can be extremely helpful to survey oil spills making it easier to see where 

the oil is spreading. This critical information increases the situational awareness of first 

responders to the incident, increasing safety and the ability to make better decisions in the 

clean-up planning efforts. 

Another use ofUAS is monitoring pipelines. IR imaging capabilities enable the 

unmanned aircraft to detect leaks that would otherwise not be visible. Additionally, 

specialized sensors can be used to detect emissions of gas leaks. Applications from asset 

security, ice monitoring and terrain mapping are just a few ways this highly effective 

technology can be utilized today. 

There is an additional benefit to safety by application of drilling rig inspection. Often 

drilling rigs have a vertical rise significant enough to create risk for any operator who 

must assign a worker to climb the rig for a simple visual inspection. Often a visual 

inspection precedes a determination of whether a maintenance function must be 

performed, and what kind. UAS application allows for the safest possible method for 

determining a maintenance issue. This is done in a fixed airspace immediately adjacent 

to the drilling rig and poses no risk of harm to NAS. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., will offer unmanned aircraft systems to the Oil & Gas industry 

providing valuable capabilities that can reduce operational cost and risk, while improving 

efficiency. 

Applications include: 

• Oil spill detection 

• Oil/Gas pipeline surveillance incident mapping 

• Facility security 

• Rig visual maintenance 

3jorone \iiu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
9. Aerial inspection/video/photography for the Roofing Industry. The possibility for UAS to 

be used as building inspection tools is very appealing considering the software potentially 

being able to turn video into CAD files. Roofing inspectors, whether roofers or 

insurance claims adjusters, must of necessity place themselves on the pitch of a 

residential roof or a on a high commercial structure. The ability to see and inspect 

without the climb is an extreme benefit. Such UAS application does not implicate 

adjacent structures or the NAS beyond what is needed to obtain a careful and close visual 

of the roofing structure. Permission of the owner would always be obtained. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., will offer unmanned aircraft systems that provide the roofing industry 

valuable capabilities that can reduce operational cost and risk, while improving 

efficiency. 

Operational Parameters 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., will not operate any UASs above 400 feet AGL. Each UAS will weigh less 

than 55 lbs, and contains state of the air Return to Home safety features. Each UAS will be 

flown by a trained Pilot in Command (PIC), and will remain in Visual Line of Sight ofthe PIC 

and/or a Visual Officer (VO) at all times, as may be appropriate. No UAS will be flown at 

nighttime or under IFR conditions. The UAS will be operated under FAA VFR conditions. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., has established a training program whereby each PIC will have a minimum 

of 10 hours of flight time in that particular UAS, and will stay in compliance with landings and 

take-offs. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., can insure the combination of the UASs lightweight, historically 

demonstrated performance of the UAS and manufacturer credibility, on board GPS system, 

trained flight personnel, and operations under strict guidelines established, the FAA can be 

assured that Drone Viu's operations will have an equivalent or greater level of safety of manned 

aircraft performing the same mission. 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., believes given the small size of the UASs it utilizes and the restricted 

airspace within it will operate, the applicant fits the category ofUAS commercial operations 

which Congress has authorized. Drone Viu proposes exemption from certain FAR's which 

would otherwise apply to civil aircraft, and offer the following: 

1. The UAS will weigh less than 55 lbs 

2. Flights will be operated within line of sight of the PIC and/or if applicable, VO. 

3. Maximum flight time for each operational flight will be the maximum allowed by law, 

but envisioned to be 30 minutes at present. 

4. Flights will be terminated at 5% batter power reserve. 

5. Flights will be operated at no more than 400 AGL, and lower where required by a local 

airport authority. 

6. UAS will have a Return to Home safety feature so if it loses communications or its GPS 

signal it will automatically return to a pre-determined location within the Security 

Perimeter. 

7. UASs will be operated only by a PIC who has been trained in safe operation of that 

particular UAS in accordance with Drone Viu's training manual. 

4lorone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
8. Drone Viu, L.L.C. is considered the Operator of all missions and operations and will be 

legally responsible to the public or local authority for safe operation of the UAS. 

9. The UAS will operate within a controlled area as defined in its Procedures. 

10. The UAS will have the capability to abort a flight in case ofunpredicted obstacles or 

emergencies.

SIDrone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
Appendix A 

EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY 

Drone Viu, L.L.C., requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as arty 

additional regulations that may technically apply to the operation of its UAS's. 

14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates 

Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, establishes the procedural requirements for the 

issuance of airworthiness certificates as required by FAR §91.203(a) (1). Given the size and 

limited operating area associated with the aircraft to be utilized by the Applicant, an exemption 

from Part 21 Subpart H meets the requirements of an equivalent level of safety under Part 11 and 

Section 333 ofthe Reform Act. The Federal Aviation Act (49 U.S.C. §44701(±)) and Section 333 

of the Reform Act both authorize the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an 

airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, 

and proximity to airports and populated areas of the particular UAS. In all cases, an analysis of 

these criteria demonstrates that the UAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, in the 

restricted environment and under the conditions proposed will be at least as safe, or safer, than a 

conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) operating with an airworthiness certificate 

without the restrictions and conditions proposed. 

The UAS to be operated hereunder is less than 55 lbs fully loaded, carries neither a pilot nor 

passenger, carries no explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and operates exclusively 

within a controlled area as set out in the Procedures. Unlike other civil aircraft, operations under 

this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by the operator, pursuant to the 

Procedures requirements. Lastly, application ofthese same criteria demonstrates that there is 

no credible threat to national security posed by the UAS, due to its size, speed of operation, 

location of operation, lack of explosive materials or flammable liquid fuels, and inability to carry 

a substantial external load. 

14 CFR § 45.23 (b). Marking of the Aircraft 

The regulation requires: 

When marks include only the Roman capital letter "N" and the registration number is displayed 

on limited, restricted or light-sport category aircraft or experimental or provisionally certificated 

aircraft, the operator must also display on that aircraft near each entrance to the cabin, cockpit, 

or pilot station, in letters not less than 2 inches nor more than 6 inches high, the words "limited," 

"restricted," "light-sport," "experimental," or "provisional," as applicable. Even though the UAS 

will have no airworthiness certificate, an exemption may be needed as the UAS will have no 

entrance to the cabin, cockpit or pilot station on which the word "Experimental" can be placed. 

Given the size of the UAS, two-inch lettering will be impossible. The word "Experimental" will 

be placed on the fuselage in compliance with §45.29(±). The equivalent level of safety will be 

provided by having the UAS marked on its fuselage as required by §45.29(±) where the operator 

working with the UAS will see the identification of the UAS as "Experimental." The FAA has 

issued the following exemptions to this regulation to Exemptions Nos. 10700, 8738, 10167 and 

10167 A 

6IDrone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
14 CFR §91.7(a): Civil aircraft airworthiness. 

The regulation requires that no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in airworthy 

condition. As there will be no airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft, should this 

exemption be granted, no FAA regulatory standard will exist for determining airworthiness. 

Given the size of the aircraft and the requirements contained in the Procedures for maintenance 

and use of safety check lists prior to each flight, an equivalent level of safety will be provided. 

14 CFR § 91.9(b) (2): Civil Aircraft Flight Manual in the Aircraft. 

Section 91.9(b) (2) provides: 

No person may operate a U.S.-registered civil aircraft ... (2) for which an Airplane or Rotorcraft 

Flight Manual is not required by §21.5 of this chapter, unless there is available in the aircraft a 

current approved airplane or Rotorcraft Flight Manual, approved manual material, markings, and 

placards, or any combination thereof. The UAS, given its size and configuration has no ability or 

place to carry such a flight manual on the aircraft, not only because there is no pilot on board, 

but because there is no room or capacity to carry such an item on the aircraft. The equivalent 

level of safety will be maintained by keeping the flight manual at the ground control point where 

the operator flying the UAS will have immediate access to it. The FAA has issued the following 

exemptions to this regulation: Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 95658, 

10167, 10167A, 10602, 32827, and 10700. 

14 CFR § 91.103(b): Preflight action 

This regulation requires that each pilot in command shall, before beginning a flight, become 

familiar with all available information concerning that flight. This information must include -

(b) for any flight, runway lengths at airports of intended use, and the following takeoff and 

landing distance information ... As FAA approved rotorcraft flight manuals will not be provided 

for the aircraft and because runways are not needed for takeoff and landing operations, an 

exemption will be needed. An equivalent level of safety will be provided as set forth in 

Procedures. The operator will take all actions including reviewing weather, flight battery 

requirements, landing and takeoff locations and aircraft performance data before initiation of 

flight. 

14 CFR §91.109: Flight instruction: 

Section 91.103 provides that no person may operate a civil aircraft (except a manned free 

balloon) that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual 

controls. UASs and remotely piloted aircraft, by their design do not have fully functional dual 

controls. Flight control is accomplished through the use of a control box that communicates with 

the aircraft via radio communications. The FAA has approved exemptions for flight training 

without fully functional dual controls for a number of aircraft and for flight instruction in 

experimental aircraft. See Exemption Nos.5778K & 9862A. The equivalent level of safety 

provided by the fact that neither a pilot nor passengers will be carried in the aircraft and by the 

size and speed of the aircraft. 

Drone Viu, L.L. C., concurs with other applicants and believes that there is inconclusive evidence 

that a person with a private pilot certificate or license can successfully maneuver or train 

7lorone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
someone to use an sUAS without first hand flight experience with the particular sUAS. 

Therefore, we believe our own flight training and first hand experiences with the sUAS will be 

satisfactory. Also, the sUAS will be operated by a remote control, which will only require a one 

person operator and dual controls will not be necessary. 

14 CFR §91.119: Minimum safe altitudes 

Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Section 91.119 (d) allows 

helicopters to be operated at less than the minimums prescribed, provided the person operating 

the helicopter complies with any route or altitudes prescribed for helicopters by the FAA. As this 

exemption is for a UAS that is a helicopter and the exemption requests authority to operate at 

altitudes up to 400 AGL, an exemption may be needed to allow such operations. As set forth 

herein, except for the limited conditions stated in the Procedures, the UAS will never operate at 

higher than 400 AGL. The equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, 

speed of the UAS as well as the location where it is operated. In addition, the low-altitude 

operations ofthe UAS will ensure separation between these small-UAS operations and the 

operations of conventional aircraft that must comply with Section 91.119. 

14 CFR §91.121: Altimeter Settings 

This regulation requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude by 

reference to an altimeter that is set " ... to the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate 

altimeter setting available before departure." As the UAS may not have a barometric altimeter, 

but instead a GPS altitude read out, an exemption may be needed. An equivalent level of safety 

will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the Procedures and Safety Check list, confirming 

the altitude of the launch site shown on the GPS altitude indicator before flight. 

14 CFR § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR Conditions 

Section 91.151(a) prohibits an individual from beginning "a flight in an airplane under VFR 

conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly 

to the first point of intended landing, and, assuming normal cruising speed - (1) During the day, 

to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or (2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes." 

The battery powering the UAS provides approximately 40 minutes of powered flight. To meet 

the 30 minute reserve requirement in 14 CFR §91.151, UAS flights would be limited to 

approximately 10 minutes in length. Given the limitations on the UAS's proposed flight area and 

the location of its proposed operations within a predetermined area, a longer time frame for 

flight in daylight or night VFR conditions is reasonable. Applicant believes that an exemption 

from 14 CFR §91.151(a) falls within the scope of prior exemptions. See Exemption 10673 

(allowing Lockheed Martin Corporation to operate without compliance with FAR 91.151(a)). 

Operating the small UAS, in a tightly controlled area, with less than 30 minutes of reserve fuel, 

does not engender the type ofrisks that Section 91.151(a) was intended to alleviate given the 

size and speed of the small UAS. Additionally, limiting UAS flights to 10 minutes would greatly 

reduce the utility for which the exemption will be granted. Applicant believes that an equivalent 

level of safety can be achieved by limiting flights to 30 minutes or 5% of battery power 

whichever happens first. This restriction would be more than adequate to return the UAS to its 

planned landing zone from anywhere in its limited operating area. Similar exemptions have 

been granted to other operations, including Exemptions 2689F, 5745, 10673, and 10808. 

Blorone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
14 CFR §91.203(a) and (b): Carrying Civil Aircraft Certification and Registration 

The regulation provides in pertinent part: 

(a) Except as provided in§ 91 .715, no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it has within it 

the following: (1) an appropriate and current airworthiness certificate ... (b) No person may 

operate a civil aircraft unless the airworthiness certificate required by paragraph (a) of this 

section or a special flight authorization issued under §91.715 is displayed at the cabin or cockpit 

entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew. The UAS fully loaded weighs no more than 

55 lbs and is operated without an on board pilot. As such, there is no ability or place to carry 

certification and registration documents or to display them on the UAS. An equivalent level of 

safety will be achieved by keeping these documents at the ground control point where the 

operator flying the UAS will have immediate access to them, to the extent they are applicable to 

the UAS. The FAA has issued numerous exemptions to this regulation. A representative sample 

of other exceptions includes Exemption Nos. 9565, 9665, 9789, 9789A, 9797, 9797A, and 

9816A. 

14 CFR §91.405(a); 407(a) (1); 409(a) (2); 417(a) & (b): Maintenance Inspections 

These regulations require that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected as 

prescribed in subpart E of this part and shall between required inspections, except as provided 

in paragraph (c) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as prescribed in part 43 of this 

chapter ... ," and others shall inspect or maintain the aircraft in compliance with Part 43. Given 

that these section and Part 43 apply only to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, these 

sections will not apply to the applicant. Maintenance will be accomplished by the operator 

pursuant to the flight manual and operating handbook as referenced in the Procedures. An 

equivalent level of safety will be achieved because these small UASs are very limited in size 

and will carry a small payload and operate only in controlled areas for limited periods of time. If 

mechanical issues arise the UAS can land immediately and will be operating from no higher 

than 400 feet AGL. As provided in the Procedures, the operator will ensure that the UAS is in 

working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any 

maintenance performed. Moreover, the operator is the person most familiar with the aircraft and 

best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition to provide the equivalent level of 

safety. Pursuant to 14 CFR Part 11, the following summary is provided for publication in the 

Federal Register, should it be determined that publication is needed. Applicant seeks an 

exemption from the following rules: 14 CFR §21, subpart H; 14 CFR45.23(b); 14 CFR §§ 

61.113(a) & (b); 91.7(a); 91.9(b) (2); 91.103(b); 91.109; 91.119; 91.121;91.151(a); 91.203(a) & 

(b); 91.405(a); 91.407(a) (1); 91.409(a) (2); 91.409(a) (2) & 91.417(a) &(b) to operate 

commercially a small unmanned vehicle (55lbs or less) for the purpose of inspection, 

monitoring, mapping and photographing attached equipment and engineering studies involving 

communication towers, wind turbine tower facilities and power transmission tower operations. 

Approval of exemptions allowing commercial operations of UASs will create a level of safety by 

reducing risk. Conventional tower structure inspections and associated tasks involve extreme 

risks to personnel physically climbing such structures and/or utilizing high rise equipment both 

of which create numerous and extreme risk to such personnel. In contrast, a UAS weighing fewer 

than 55 lbs and powered by batteries eliminates virtually all of that risk. The UAS will carry no 

passengers or crew and, therefore, will not expose personnel to any of the risks described 

above. 

9IDrone Viu, LLC- Request for exemption for commercial operations of small UAS 
The operation of small UASs, weighing less than 55 lbs, conducted in the strict conditions 

outlined above, will provide a level of safety supporting the grant of the exemptions requested 

herein, including exempting the applicant from the requirements of Part 21 and allowing 

commercial operations. These lightweight aircraft operate at slow speeds, close to the ground, 

and in a controlled environment. 

Privacy 

All flights which occur over private or controlled access property with the property owner's prior 

consent and knowledge. The granting of this exemption request will provide innovative safety 

operations. Satisfaction of the criteria provided in Section 333 of the Reform Act of2012- size, 

weight, speed, operating capabilities, proximity to airports and populated areas and operation 

within visual line of sight and national security - provide more than adequate justification for the 

grant ofthe requested exemptions allowing commercial operation of applicant's UAS in and 

pursuant to the Procedures appended hereto.
