91.417(a)	&	(b)	of	Title	14,	Code	of	Federal	Regulations	

BAT	AERO	LLC	plans to	operate	a	UAS,	the	DJI	Inspire	1,which	is	comprised	of	an	unmanned	

aircraft	(UA)	and	a	transportable	ground	station.	The	DJI	Inspire	1	is	referred	to	as	a	quadcopter	and	I	will	operate	the	UA	over	various	areas	near	North	Augusta,	SC (known	as	the	

Central	Savannah	River	Area	(CSRA)) to	enhance	academic	community	awareness	and	

augment	photographic	areas.	The	UAS	will	provide	the	community	with	new	and	

picturesque	representations	of	their	city	and	its	surroundings.	Aerial	videography	for	

geographical	awareness,	real	estate	marketing,	and	personal	photography	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	would	allow	me	to	

provide	this	service	at	a	much	lower	cost.	Furthermore,	my	small	UAS	will	pose	no	threat	to	

the	public	given	its	small	size	and	lack	of combustible	fuel	when	compared	to	larger	manned	

aircraft.	The	operation	of	his	UAS	will	minimize	ecological	damage	and	promote	economic	

growth	by	providing	new	opportunities	to	individuals	and	businesses	in	the	CSRA.

The	Pilot, Randy	Batarao, will	provide the	following	levels	of	safety:	

 Only	operate	in	reasonably	safe	environments	that	are	strictly	controlled,	are	away	

from	power	lines,	elevated	lights,	airports	and	actively	populated	areas.

 Conduct	extensive	preflight	inspections	and	protocols,	during	which	safety	carries	

primary	importance.	

 Operate	the	UAS	below	300	feet	and	within	a	radius	distance	of	1000	feet	from	the	

controller	to	aid	in	direct	line	of	sight	visual	observation.	

 Operate	the	UAS	for	5-15	minutes	per	flight.

 Land UAS	prior	to	the	manufacturers	recommended	minimum	level	of	battery	

power.

 Operate UAS	only	within	visual	line	of	sight	(VLOS).

 Use	the	UAS	global	positioning	system	(GPS)	flight	safety	feature	whereby	it	hovers	

and	then	slowly	lands	if	communication	with	the	remote	control	pilot	is	lost.

 Conduct	all	operations	under	personal	and	flight	safety	protocols	(including	posting	

a	warning	sign	reading:	Attention	Aerial Photography	in	Progress	Remain	Back	150	

feet)	contained	in	the	operating	documents	and	will	actively	analyze	flight data	and	

other	sources	of	information	to	constantly	update	and	enhance	the	safety	protocols.

 Contact	respective	airports	if	operations	will	be	within	5	miles	to	advise	them	of	my	

estimated	flight	time,	flight	duration,	elevation	of	flight	and	other	pertinent

information.

 Always	obtain	all	necessary permissions	prior	to	operation.
 Have	procedures	in	place	to	abort	flights	in	the	event	of	safety	breaches	or	potential	

danger.
