# SUMMARY Drew Farrington and Charles Farrington doing business as Drew's Aerial Photography ("DAP") seeks exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & 

# (b) 

# or alternatively an exemption from C.F.R §§ 61.113, 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a) , 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & 

# (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

# (b), 

# to operate an Unmanned Aircraft System pursuant to Section 333 ofthe FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA). This exemption will permit DAP to operate an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) for the commercial purpose of conducting aerial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, and landscape over certain areas ofthe United States. INTRODUCTION AND INTERESTS OF THE PETITIONERs Drew Farrington and Charles Farrington have over 4 years recreational/hobby experience in all aspects of aerial flight and 3 years of aerial video and photography. The objective of DAP's aerial video and photography operations is to provide high quality imaging for a variety of commercial, public, and residential uses, specifically targeting: • Construction sites before and after • Appraisals • Real-estate marketing • Motion Picture Filming • Aerial acquisitions used for inspections ofpublic and private structures. • Search and Rescue operations 

# • BACKGROUND Unmanned Aircraft Systems: DJI Phantom 2 Vision+, DJI Inspire 1 UASs DAP seeks an exemption to operate DJI systems for compensation or hire within the NAS. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 are vertical takeoffand landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aircraft (UA) with a Ground Control Station (GCS) utilizing electronic tablet or smart phone systems. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ has a maximum gross weight of approximately 2 pounds 11 ounces, while having a length of 16 inches width of 16 inches, height of 8 inches, and a maximum speed of approximately 29 knots. The DJI Inspire 1 has a maximum gross weight of 6 pounds 7.5 ounces, a length of 17.3 inches, width of 17.7 inches, height of 11.8 inches, and a maximum speed of approximately 42 knots. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are equipped with four main rotors; driven by Lithium Polymer battery powered electric motors. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs that will be operated by DAP will be registered in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 44103, Registration of Aircraft, 

# as well as 14 C.F.R Part 47, Aircraft Registration, 

# and marked in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 45, Identification and Registration Marking. DAP Petition for Exemption Page

# BASIS FOR PETITION Petitioner, DAP, pursuant to the provisions ofthe Federal Aviation Regulations (14 C.F.R. § 11.61) and the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA), Section 333, Special Rules for Certain UnmannedAircraft Systems, hereby petitions the Administrator to commercially operate the DJI Phantom 2 

# Vision+, DJI Inspire 1 UASs in the National Airspace System (NAS), and for an exemption from the requirements of 14 C.F.R §§ 61.113(a) & 

# (b), 91.7(a), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & 

# (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

# (b). In consideration ofthe speed, weight, size, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, DAP operation ofDJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meets the conditions ofFMRA Section 333 and therefore, will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Accordingly, DAP requests relie f from Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & 

# (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

# (b), as these sections set forth requirements for maintenance that only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. DAP submits that the requested relief is proper since an equivalent level of safety will be ensured. DAP will use experienced personnel or technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, DAP will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. Relief from certain requirements of Section 61.113(a) and (b), entitled Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested by DAP to the extent necessary to allow a Pilot in Command (PIC) is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs in a manner consistent with this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Alternatively, DAP request that the requirement of private pilot licensing for commercial UA use required of previous exemptions be lifted in this particular request pursuant to DAP's argument herein. DAP seeks relief from Section 91.7(a), entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, because the DJI Phantom 2 

# Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 

# UASs do not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. 

# As such, DAP submits that he will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 

# UASs are in an airworthy condition, prior to every flight, by determining that the UASs are in compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual), and that the aircraft are in a condition for safe flight.

# DAP also seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.121, entitled 

# Altimeter Settings, as the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will not have a typical barometric altimeter onboard. However, altitude information of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will be provided to the PIC via Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment and radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring ofthe flight path. This altitude information, combined with DAP's operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs within visual line of sight, at or below 400 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121.Additionally, DAP seeks an exemption from the requirements of Section 91.15l(b), entitled 

# Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. DAP submits that safety will not be affected by operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) under visual flight rules (VFR), with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of approximately 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes. In accordance with 14 C .F.R. 

# § 11.81, DAP provides the following information in support ofhis petition for exemption:

# B. THE SPECIFIC SECTIONS OF 14 C.F.R. FROM WHICH DAP SEEKS EXEMPTION. 1. DAP SEEKS EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 61.113. DAP'S ARGUMENT FOR EXEMPTION FROM 14 C.F.R. §61.113: PRIVATE PILOT PRIVILEGES AND LIMITATIONS: PIC. DAP requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. §61.113 so that the PIC of the UA will not be required to possess a private or commercial pilot's license. As the FAA and numerous other national airspace regulators have recognized, UA operations conducted bypersons who do not hold a pilot's license can still achieve the equivalent level of safety of current operations by manned aircraft with pilots holding a private or commercial pilot's license. Although it recognizes that a pilot's license is unnecessary for safe UA operation , the FAA has to date declined to allow grant exemptions under Section 333 that would permit

# individuals who possess neither a private nor a commercial pilot's cert ificate to conduct commercial UA operations. It 

# has specified two reasons for declining to do so. First, it has stated that it does not possess the authority under Section 333 to exempt individuals from the requirement under 49 U.S.C. §44711 to hold an airman certificate authorizing the airman to serve in the capacity for which the certificate was issued. Exemption No . 11110 at 14. Second, the FAA has concluded that the Department of Homeland Security (DRS) security screening required of all certified airmen meets the statutory requirement in Section 333 that operations not pose a threat to national security. Exemption No. 11110 at 15 . DAP respectfully requests that the FAA reconsider its position. There is no dispute that it is unnecessary for an operator ofaU A to go through the rigorous process ofbecoming a certified pilot in order to safely operate aU A. In 

# addition , the FAA does have the authority to exempt UA operators from the requirement in 49 U.S . C . §447llto hold an airman certificate for " serv[ing] in the capacity for which the certificate was issued. " Indeed , it has exercised that authority repeatedly in the Section 333 process. Finally, the FAA ' s security concerns can be addressed by a variety ofmethods involving operator background checks to be conducted by government agenci es. 

# 2. THE FAA AND FOREIGN REGULATORS RECOGNIZE THAT OBTAINING A MANNED AIRCRAFT PILOT LICENSE IS UNNECESSARY FOR SAFE OPERATION OF A UA The FAA, like the other national airspace regulators that have considered the issue, has concluded that UA operations conducted by persons who do not hold a pilot ' s license can still achieve the equivalent level of safety ofcurrent operations by manned aircraft with pilots holding a private or commercial pilot ' s license . In its recent UAS NPRM , the FAA stated : "While these airman certification requirements are necessary for manned aircraft operations, they impose an unnecessary burden for many small UAS operations. This is because a person typically obtains a private or commercial pilot certificate by learning how to operate a manned aircraft. Much of that knowledge would not be applicable to small UAS operations because a small U AS is operated differently than mat1ned aircraft. !n addition , the knowledge currently necessary to obtain a private or commercial pilot certificate would not equip the certificate holder with the tools necessary to safely operate a small UAS ... Thus , requiring persons wishing to operate a small UAS to obtain a private or commercial pil ot certificate imposes the cost of certification on those persons, but does not result in a significant safety benefit because the process ofobtaining the certificate does not equip those persons with the tools necessary to mitigate the public risk posed by small UAS operations. " Operation and Certification of Small Unmanned Aircraft, 80 Fed. Reg. 9543 at 9550 (proposed Feb . 23, 2015 (to be codified at 14 C.F.R . Parts 21 , 43 , 45 , et al .) ).

## The FAA's conclusion that manned aircraft flying experience i s unnecessary for the operation of a UA is supported by research by the FAA and the Army Research Laboratory . They demonstrate that UAs , even those much larger than the sUAS proposed by DAP , can be safely flown by non-certificated pilots with a small , amount oftraining. For example, one Arm y Research Laboratory study concluded: "[T]he specific motor skills needed to control the radio-controlled UAV would have to be learned by aviators independently of the motor skills learned in flying an aircraft. In 

## particular, the somatic and visual cues that pilots use during aircraft landings would not be useful (and perhaps even counter-productive) for the different skill sets and perceptual viewpoint necessary for radio-controlled landings." 1 

## Additional research reports lend further support for the exclusion requested . For example, a report sponsored by the FAA concluded that "We know that certain systems, like the U . S . Army Hunter and Shadow systems , are successfully flown by pilots with no manned aircraft experience. " 2 

## In addition, foreign government airspace regulators that have examined the issue have consistently recognized that the skills required to fly a manned aircraft are irrelevant to operating a UA. For that reason , they have concluded that UA operators do not need to have a private or commercial pilot's license. Canada, for example, does not require a pilot's license to operate a UA. Transport Canada requires training ofUA operators, but that training is limited to pilot ground school and flight operation training on UAs, not manned aircraft. 3 

## Moreover, Canada allows this training to be "provided by other pilots, manufacturers, [UA] flight training organizations or .. . self taught." 4 1

# Similarly, the United Kingdom's Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) recognized that determining "Remote Pilot qualification requirements on the same basis as manned aircraft may yield requirements that are too inflexible, too onerous and inappropriate for UAS operations." 5 

# As a result, the CAA only requires UA operators to demonstrate UA operator competence. 6 

# While there are a variety of ways to demonstrate competence, the most common is to complete a course that will lead to a ground exam and flight test. Australia, too, requires only passage of a UA-specific ground school program in lieu of a private pilot license. 7 

# Finally, more than a dozen countries, including Germany, Italy, France, Spain and the Netherlands , have adopted the National UAS Certificate for Small Unmanned Aircraft (BNUCMS) Standard for UA pilot certification. 7 

# This standard results in a type-specific UA certificate and does not require the operator to have a pilot's license. The process involves taking a short ground school course, passing a ground school test and then passing a practical test on commercial operation ofthe specific UAS per the UAS manufacturer's operations manual. All of this experience and evidence indicates that the proposed exemption will provide a greater level of safety than operations under 14 C.F .R. §61.113. In this instance, the PIC has years of UA experience. He has focused his training and education on UAs generally, and in particular on the aircraft to be operated, rather than taking on the cost, additional time and risk to train on a manned aircraft, weighing several thousand pounds and carrying highly flammable fuel. The FAA has concluded in the NPRM that such UA-specific training is more than sufficient to provide an equivalent level of safety for UA operations. Sometime in the next 18 to 24 months, that position will be enshrined in a valid regulation. However, in the meantime, the FAA claims it lacks the authority to relax the requirement to possess a pilot certificate. As described infra, that position is both incorrect and contradicted by the FAA's recent decisions. 3. THE FAA HAS ALREADY EXERCISED THE AUTHORITY TO EXEMPT APPLICANTS FROM THE AIRMAN CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENT

# The FAA claims that it lacks authority to exempt UA operators from the requirement of 49 U.S. §44711 to hold an airman certificate authorizing the airman " to serve in the capacity for which the certificate was issued." See, e.g., Exemption No. 11110 at 14. 

# This claim is inconsistent with both (i) the statutory language ofthat section and Section 333, and (ii) numerous recent FAA decisions. The operative part of 49 USC §44711 provides that a "person may not ... serve in any capacity as an airman with respect to a civil aircraft, ... used, or intended for use, in air commerce - (A) without an airman certificate authorizing the airman to serve in the capacity for which the certificate was issued . .. " Ifthe FAA's interpretation were correct, this language would require that any person wishing to operate a UA for commercial operations have an airman certificate authorizing the person to serve as an airman in commercial operations. However, in all of its recent grants of Section 333 petitions, the FAA has- without explicitly acknowledging the fact- exempted commercial UA operators from the§ 44711(A) requirement that they hold an airman certificate authorizing them "to serve in the capacity for which the certificate was issued." It 

# has done so by allowing them to operate a UA so long as they hold a private pilot ' s or sport pilot's authorization, even though such a certificate does not permit commercial operations. Exemption No. 11062 at 15-18; Exemption No. 11110 at 14-16; Exemption No. 11191 at 3-5; and Exemption No . 11229 at 3 and 8. The FAA argues that it cannot exempt applicants from the requirements of §44711 because, while the specific language of Section 333 grants it limited statutory flexibility relative to 49 U.S.C. §44704 for the purposes of airworthiness certification, Section 333 does not provide flexibility relative to §44711 and other sections of Title 49. Exemption No. 11110 at 14. This argument ignores the plain la.'l.guage ofthe statute . The relevant language of Section 333 is: (a) IN GENERAL-Notwithstanding any other requirement of this subtitle, and not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Transportation shall determine if certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system before completion of the plan and rulemaking required by section 332 ofthis Act or the guidance required by section 334 ofthis Act. (b) 

# ASSESSMENT OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS.-In making the determination under subsection (a), the Secretary shall determine, at a minimum
- (I) which types ofunmanned aircraft systems, if any, as a result of their size, weight, speed, operational capability, proximity to airports and populated areas, and operation within visual line of sight do not create a hazard to users ofthe national airspace system or the public or pose a threat to national security; and

# (2) whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 of title 49 , United States Code, is required for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1) . (c) REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE OPERATION.-If the Secretary determines under this section that certain unmanned aircraft systems may operate safely in the national airspace system, the Secretary shall establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems in the national airspace system. The language of Section 333(b) is permtsstve: it requires that the Secretary " determine, at a minimum ... whether a certificate of waiver, certificate of authorization, or airworthiness certification under section 44704 of title 49, United States Code, is required for the operation of unmanned aircraft systems identified under paragraph (1)." Nothing in (b) precludes the Secretary from determining whether or not a pilot's license is required for operation of a UA identified under paragraph (b)(1 ). Indeed, the FAA has implicitly conceded the point by granting exemptions from the requirement that commercial UA operators hold a commercial pilot certificate. From an analytical standpoint, there is no difference between granting an exemption from the commercial pilot's license requirement and granting an exemption from the private or sport pilot's license requirement. Both are clearly exemptions from a specific statutory requirement in 49 U.S.C. §44711. If the FAA has the statutory authority under Section 333(b) to do the former , it has the same authority to do the latter. 8 

# For the reasons set forth above, the FAA should reconsider its position and exercise its full authority to grant an exemption from all the requirements of49 USC §44711, so that DAP serving as a commercial UA operator need not have a pilot 's license . Alternatively :

# C. THE EXTENT OF RELIEF DAP SEEKS AND THE REASON DAP SEEKS THE RELIEF 1. EXTENT OF RELIEF DAP SEEKS AND THE REASON DAP SEEKS RELIEF FROM SECTION 61.113(a) and (b). Relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) entitled 

# Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command, is requested to the extent necessary to allow a PIC holding a FAA airman certificate or in the alternative an unmanned aircraft operator certificate with a small UAS rating (like existing pilot aitman certificates) as well as a current and valid airman medical certificate, and who has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements, to conduct the proposed UAS flight operations for compensation or hire . This relief is requested since the limitations set forth in Section 61.113(a) and (b) state that a private pilot may, for compensation or hire, act as PIC ofan aircraft in connection with any business or employment if: (1) The flight is only incidental to that business or employment ; and 

# (2) The aircraft does not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire. As set forth more fully below , DAP submits that an equivalent level of safety will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ UAS or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has met certain flight-hour and currency requirements , demonstrating that the PIC is able to safely operate either the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the operations specifications as described in this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers, as well as maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Further, DAP submits that all flights of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, conducted by the PIC pursuant to the grant ofthis Petition: 

# (1) will be incidental to DAP's business; and (2) will not carry passengers or property for compensation or hire.

DAP Petition for Exemption Pa g e 

# 15

# Relief from Section 91.7(a) entitled Civil aircraft airworthiness, 

# is requested to the extent required to allow DAP to determine that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in aitworthy condition prior to every flight by ensuring that the UAS is in compliance with the operating documents (i.e . , the DAP Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). DAP seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require an aitworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C .F. R. Part 21, Subpart H . Therefore, DAP will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are in aitworthy condition based upon its compliance with the operating documents (i.e., Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) prior to every flight, and further, determine that the aircraft are in condition for safe flight, as stated in the conditions and limitations below. 3. EXTENT OF RELIEF DAP SEEKS AND THE REASON DAP SEEKS RELIEF FROM SECTION 91.121. 

# Relief from Section 91.121, entitled Altimeter settings , may be required to allow flight operations of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, which utilize a barometric pressure sensor, GPS equipment, and a radio communications telemetry data link to downlink altitude information from the UA to the PIC at the ground control station (GCS). Since the FAA requires that any altitude information concerning UAS operations be reported to air traffic control (ATC) in 

# feet above ground level (AGL), DAP seeks the requested relief because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UA's altimeter may be set on the ground to zero feet AGL, rather than the local barometric pressure or field altitude, before each flight. Considering the limited altitude of the proposed operations , relief from 14 CFR 91.121 is sought to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable conditions and limitations stated below . As more fully set forth herein, an equivalent level of safety will be maintained since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are equipped with a barometric pressure sensor and GPS equipment, which automatically ensures that a ground level pressure setting will be established prior to each flight, and provides the PIC with altitude information ofthe UA on the heads-up display ofthe GCS. 4. EXTENT OF RELIEF DAP SEEKS AND THE REASON DAP SEEKS RELIEF FROM SECTION 91.15l(b). 

# Relief from Section 91.151(b) entitled Fuel requirements tor flight in VFR conditions, is requested to the extent required to allow flights of the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in 

# visual meteorological conditions (VMC), under visual flight rules (VFR), for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and , assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4.5 minutes . DAP seeks the requested relief because without an exemption from Section 91.151(b), the flight time duration of the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will severely constrain the practicality of any aerial video or still photo flight operations that DAP proposes to conduct pursuant to this Petition.

# (a)(2), And 91.417(a) & 

# (b). Since Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & 

# (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

# (b) 

# only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate, DAP requests relieffrom these Sections because the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs do not require airworthiness certificates. As set forth more fully below, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meet the conditions ofFMRA Section 333 for operation without an airworthiness certificate . Accordingly, DAP will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the UAS operating documents (i.e., the DAP Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, DAP will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. 

# D. REASONS WHY GRANTING DAP'S REQUEST WOULD BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Granting the present Petition will further the public interest by allowing DAP to safely, efficiently, and economically perform aerial video and photography of construction sites, real estate, and landscape over certain areas ofthe United States. Additionally, use of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will decrease congestion of the NAS, reduce pollution, and provide significant benefits to the economy . Notably, the benefits ofDAP ' s proposed operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be realized without implicating any privacy issues. 1. 

# THE PUBLIC WILL BENEFIT FROM DECREASED CONGESTION OF THENAS . The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs are battery powered and serve as a safe, efficient, and economical alternative to the manned aircraft traditionally utilized to obtain aerial imagery. By reducing the amount of manned aircraft needed to perform aerial acquisitions, an exemption allowing the use of a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS would reduce the amount of manned aircraft in the NAS, reduce noise and air pollution, as well as increase the safety oflife and property in the air and on the ground.

DAP Petition for Exemption Page 

# 17

# Furthermore, by reducing the number of manned aircraft operating in the NAS, congestion around airports caused by arriving and departing aircraft will be reduced. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs do not require an airport to takeoff or land. Likewise , a reduction ofmanned aircraft conducting aerial video and photography missions would result in 

# fewer aircraft that must be handled by air traffic control during the ground , takeoff , departure, arrival, and landing phases of flight operations. 2. THE PUBLIC WILL BENEFIT FROM THE SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY OF THE DJI PHANTOM 2 VISION+ AND DJI INSPIRE 1 UASS. Conducting aerial acquisitions with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, instead ofmanned aircraft, will greatly benefit the public by drastically reducing the levels of air and noise pollution generated during traditional aerial video and still photography flight operations . By using battery power and electric motors, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs produce no air pollution, and is the most viable environmentally conscious alternative to the cabin class, six cylinder internal combustion engine aircraft that are typically utilized for aerial video and photography, while burning approximately 20-30 gallons per hour of leaded aviation fuel. The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs, while reducing the carbon footprint of aerial acquisitions, also eliminates noise pollution, as the UAs are propelled by battery powered electric motors, rather than an internal combustion engine. By using the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs to perform aerial acquisitions, the substantial risk to life and property in the air and on the ground, which is usually associated with traditional manned aircraft flight operations, will be substantially reduced or completely eliminated. Aside from the lack of flight crew members located onboard the aircraft, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs (weighing approximately 2 pounds 11 ounces and 6 pounds 7.5 ounces respectively, at their maximum gross weights with lengths of 16 inches and 17.3 inches respectively, widths of 16 inches and 17.7 inches respectively, and with no fuel on board), has less physical potential for collateral damage to life and property on the ground, and in the air, compared to the manned aircraft that typically conduct similar operations (weighing approximately 6,000 pounds with a wingspan of approximately 42 feet, a length of 34 feet, and a fuel capacity of 180 gallons). 3. PERFORMING AERIAL VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHY OPERATIONS WITH THE DJI PHANTOM 2 VISION+ AND DJI INSPIRE 1 UASS WILL BENEFIT THE ECONOMY. In addition to being safe and efficient, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs are also an economical alternative to using manned aircraft to conduct similar aerial operations. As such, operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will allow United States based companies , like DAP , to remain competitive and contribute to growth of the U.S . economy. Specifically, with the rising cost of aviation fuel and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") regulatory actions phasing out leaded aviation fuels, U.S. owned and operated companies must adopt new and alternative technology in

# order to remain competitive. Operating the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs is one such technology that not only allows companies greater operational flexibility compared to manned aircraft, but provides such flexibility without the high operational cost of a traditional manned aircraft. By operating the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, companies such as DAP, can remain competitive and profitable, and therefore, provide greaterjob stability to employees and contractors, which will ultimately contribute to growth of the U . S. economy. Improved financial performance of U.S . companies, through commercial use of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, provides a stable workforce that increases consumer spending; improves local, state, and federal tax revenues; and allows companies to invest in research and development in order to remain competitive both in the United States and abroad. 

# 4. THERE ARE NO PRIVACY ISSUES. Similar to the manned aerial acquisition flight operations that have been conducted for decades, DAP's proposed operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will not implicate any privacy issues. Specifically, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be operated only in compliance with operating documents (i.e., the DAP Aerial Operations Manual, Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual) which requires property owner involvement as well as local law enforcement notification, and in accordance with the Federal Aviation Regulations, including the minimum altitude requirements of 14 C.F.R.

# E. REASONS WHY GRANTING THE EXEMPTION WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY, OR HOW THE EXEMPTION WOULD PROVIDE A LEVEL OF SAFETY AT LEAST EQUAL TO THAT PROVIDED BY THE RULE FROM WIDCH DAP SEEKS EXEMPTION. 1. REASONS WHY THE DJI PHANTOM 2 VISION+ AND DJI INSPIRE 1 UAS MEET THE CONDITIONS OF THE FAA MODERNIZATION AND REFORM ACT OF 2012 (FMRA) SECTION 333. In consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the unmanned aircraft and its operation, DAP's operation ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs meet the conditions of FMRA Section 333, and will not require an airworthiness certificate in accordance with 14 C.F.R. Part 21, Subpart H. Section 333 provides authority for a UAS to operate without airworthiness certification and sets forth requirements for considering whether a UAS will create a hazard to users ofthe NAS or the public, or otherwise pose a threat to national security. Specifically, FMRA Section 333 states the following, in part: 

# (a) In General.

REASONS WHY AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 61.113(a) AND (b) 

# WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY.

DAP Petition for Exemption Pa ge 

# 25

# DAP submits that the equivalent level of safety established by Section 61.113(a) and (b) will be maintained because no PIC will be allowed to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision + and DJI Inspire 1 UASs unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements , that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. Considering DAP ' s proposed area of operations, and the airmanship skills necessary to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS , DAP submits that the additional manned airmanship experience of a certificated pilot would not correlate to the airmanship skills necessary for DAP ' s specific proposed flight operations. The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 61.113(a) and (b) 

# specific to UAS , in circumstances similar, in 

# all material respects , to those presented herein (e . g . Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161) . DAP will not allow any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour requirements or the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS training and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with this exemption , including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessel s, vehicles and structures . Specifically, the PIC must have accumulated and logged, in 

# a manner consistent with 14 C.P.R.§ 61.51(b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot (with a minimum of5 hours ofthose hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model ofUAS to be used for operations under the e x emption) . In 

# addition to the hour requirements , the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). As in Exemption Nos. 11062 , 11138 , and 11153, prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations will ensure an equivalent le vel of safety during DAP's proposed operations . The Administrator has held that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would ensure safe operations, stating as follows: In 

# Exemption No . 11062, the FAA required that prior to conducting operations for the purpose of motion picture filming (or similar operations), the PIC must ha v e accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 61.51 (b), 25 hours of total time as a UAS rotorcraft pilot including at least 10 hours logged as a UAS pilot with a multi-rotor UAS . Prior to operations under Exemption No . 11062, the PIC must also have accumulated and logged a minimum of 5 hours as a UAS pilot operating the same make and model of UAS to be used for operations under the exemption. For clarification, the FAA considers these minimum hour requirements to be inclusive rather than additive; i.e . 5 hours make and model time may be included in the 10 hours ofmulti-rotor time and the 10 hours may be included in the DAP Petition for Exemption Page 26

# total25 hours ofUAS rotorcraft time. In addition to the hour requirements, the PIC must accomplish 3 takeoffs and landings in the preceding 90 days (for currency purposes). The FAA finds that at a minimum, the flight-hour requirements in Exemption No. 11062 are appropriate to practice and build proficiency in the skills necessary to safely conduct the petitioner's proposed operations . The FAA also finds that prior documented flight experience that was obtained in compliance with applicable regulations would satisfy this requirement. Training, proficiency, and experience-building flights can also be conducted under the grant of exemption to accomplish the required flight time. During training, proficiency, and experiencebuilding flights the PIC is required to operate the UA with appropriate distances in accordance with 14 C.F.R 91.119. Exemption No. 11138 at page 15. Accordingly, DAP will ensure sate operations by not allowing any PIC to operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS unless that PIC has demonstrated, by meeting minimum flight-hour and currency requirements, that the PIC is able to safely operate the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS in a manner consistent with the exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from people, vessels, vehicles and structures. 

# 3. REASONS WHY AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 91.7(A) WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY. The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.7(a) will be maintained because prior to every flight, DAP will ensure that the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ or DJI Inspire 1 UAS is in an airworthy condition based upon the UAS's compliance with its operating documents and as stated in the conditions and limitations herein . Additionally, the FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.7(a) specific to UAS, in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062 , 11063, 11064, 11065 , 11066 , 11067, 11080 , 11109, 11110, 11112 , 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153 , 11156, 11157 , 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

# 4. REASONS WHY AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 91.121 WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY. The equivalent level of safety established by Section 91.121 will be maintained because the altitude information of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision + and DJI Inspire 1 UAs will be provided to the PIC via GPS equipment and a radio communications telemetry data link, which downlinks from the UA to the GCS for active monitoring of the flight path and altitude. This altitude information, combined with DAP 's operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs within visual line of sight, at or below 500 feet AGL, will ensure a level of safety equivalent to Section 91.121. The altitude information will be generated by GPS equipment installed onboard the aircraft. Prior to each flight, a zero altitude initiation point is automatically established by the UASs at ground level.

# The FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.121 specific to UAS , in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062 , 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11112, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161). 

# 5. REASONS WHY AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 91.151(B) WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY. A grant ofthis exemption would ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F.R. Section 91.151(b) as a result of(l) the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs; (2) the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and (3) the location ofthe proposed flight operations. Accordingly, DAP will ensure that it will safely operate the battery powered DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAs during daylight hours in VFR conditions, with enough battery power to fly for a total duration of 13.5 minutes to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 4 . 5 minutes. Here, as in Exemption No. 11109 , the technical specifications of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs; the limitations on the proposed flight operations; and the location of the proposed operations , will ensure an equivalent level of safety established by 14 C.F .R. Section 91.151 (b). Furthermore, safety will be ensured as the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs provide audible and visual warnings to the PIC at the GCS when the UAs experiences low battery voltage, the first warning occurring at approximately 33% remaining battery power, and again at approximately 10% remaining battery power. At the critically low battery level, the DJI Phantom Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will descend and land automatically. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Section 91.151 establish that safety is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations ofthe UAS are considered. Reliefhas been granted for manned aircraft to operate at less than the minimums prescribed in Section 91.151, including Exemption Nos . 2689, 5745, and 10650. Moreover, the FAA has previously granted relief from Section 91.151 specific to UAS , in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 8811, 10808, 10673, 11042, 11062, 11063, 11064, 11065, 11066 , 11067 , 11080, 11109 , 11110, 11136, 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156, 11157, 11158, 11159, 11160, 11161) . 

# 6. REASONS WHY AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTIONS 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(l) & 

# (a)(2), And 91.417(a) and (b) WOULD NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT SAFETY. In seeking this exemption, DAP submits that the equivalent level of safety with regard to the regulatory maintenance and alteration requirements established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a){1), 91.409(a)(l) & 

# (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

# (b) will be met because DAP will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations, or preventive maintenance on the UASs using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed in the operating documents (i.e . , the DAP Aerial Operations Manual , Monthly Maintenance Log, and DJI DAP Petition for Exemption Page 28

## Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 Instruction Manual). Furthermore, DAP will document and maintain all maintenance records for the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs. Since the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be inspected as prescribed by the operating documents, DAP will maintain the equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.405(a), 91.409(a)(l), and 91.409(a)(2). A copy of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 User Manuals are attached hereto as Exhibit C and D; a copy ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UAS Maintenance LOG is attached hereto as Exhibit E. Likewise, the exemption sought will not adversely affect safety because DAP will use trained technicians to perform maintenance, alterations or preventive maintenance on the UAS using the methods, techniques, and practices prescribed by the operating documents. Furthermore, the exemption sought would maintain an equivalent level of safety established by Sections 91.407, 91.417(a) and 91.417(b), because all maintenance ofthe DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs will be performed by trained technicians . Maintenance will be documented and maintained utilizing the monthly maintenance log. Significantly, previous exemptions granted by the FAA concerning Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l) , 91.409(a)(l) & 

## (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

## (b) establish that safety is not adversely affected when the technical characteristics and operating limitations of the UAS are considered. In 

## consideration ofDAP's proposed operating limitations, the operating documents, and the technical aspects of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, DAP submits that safety will not be adversely affected by granting exemption from 14 C.F.R. Sections 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l) and (a)(2), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) and (b). The FAA has previously granted relief specific to UAS in circumstances similar, in all material respects, to those presented herein (e.g. Exemption Nos. 11062, 11063, 11064 , 11065, 11066, 11067, 11080, 11109, 11110, 11112, 11136 , 11138, 11150, 11153, 11156 , 11157 , 11158,11159,11160, 11161). 

# 7. THE FAA MAY PRESCRIBE ANY OTHER CONDITIONS FOR SAFE OPERATION. In accordance with Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of2012 (FMRA) and 14 C.F.R. § 

## 21.16 entitled Special Conditions, DAP requests that the FAA prescribe special conditions for the intended operation of the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1 UASs, which contain such safety standards that the Administrator finds necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by 14 C.F.R. Part 21 , Subpart H, and 14 C.F . R 

# §§ 61.113(a) & (b), 91.7 (a) , 91.121, 91.151(b) , 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(l), 91.409(a)(1) & 

## (a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

## (b). Such special conditions will permit safe operation of the UAs for the limited purpose ofconducting aerial video and photography

Push the stick right and the aircraft will rotate clock-wise. If the stick is centered, the aircraft will remain facing the same direction. The yaw stick controls the rotating angular velocity of the aircraft. Pushing the stick further away from center results in a faster aircraft rotation velocity. The pitch stick controls the aircraft 's front & back tilt. Push the stick up and the aircraft will tilt and fly forward. Pull the stick down and the aircraft will tilt and fly backward. The aircraft will keep level and straight if the stick is centered. Pushing or pulling the stick further away from center will result in a larger tilt angle (maximum of 35 ·) and faster flight velocity.

# 10 Calibrating the Compass IMPORTANT: Make sura to perform the Compass Calibration procedures prior to the first flight.

The compass is v ery sensitive to eiectromag ne t ic inte rfer e nce w hic h causes abnormal compass data and leads to poor flight perf o rmance or even flight failure. Regular calibration of the compass enables the compass to perform at it s optimal level.


### 10.1 Calibration Warnings (1) DO NOT ca l i bra te your compass w here t here is a possibility for the existence of strong magnet ic interference such as magnetite, parking structures, and s teel reinforcement underground . 

# 0 (2) DO NOT carry ferromagnet ic materials wi th yo u d uring calibration s uc h a s keys or cellular phones . (3) Comp ass Calibration is very important: otherwise the flight control syst em will not work properly.

### VISION Wi-Fi Extender. Solution: Some mobile Andro i d devic es do not allow for both a Wi
-Fi connection and a mob ile data connect io n a t the same time. When trying to connect to the PHANTOM 2 VISION Wi
-Fi network, most devi c es will check whether an Internet connection has a certain Wi
- Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network swi tc h or Test for Internet connection. If no Inte rnet connection is found because the PHANTOM 2 VISION creates a non - routab l e conne ct ion it will drop the PHANTOM 2 VISION Wi-Fi network connection and scan for the next a vailab l e connec t ion. Example: For th e Samsung Note 3. carry out the following procedures to solve this issue. Ta p Settings ·> Wi-Fi. and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced " then uncheck the "Auto network swi tch". You m i ght see a w a rning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable butjust ignore this message.

# ~~i~~f9:2~~9It~r The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight.

## f-J:il**ht~.·ij6d~**

## ~"**·· ·'** **''** ·: ,, < - 

### Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: P mode (PosiUoning) : P mode warns best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision Positioning sensors: P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision Positioning for hovering P-ATil: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can autonnatically return horne if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

# i**~J9r~i?~1~ 9'6.i~9~~¥~~~1ll**  DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identity its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precis e ly and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the bottom of your Inspire 1, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can periorm precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

# ~INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

### Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 1 . Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 3. PO\fl/er on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light,

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is r e ady. GenHy push th e throttle up to 

### lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. 

## & The performance of your Inspire 1 's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will swftch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). • Rying over a highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over Bm/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). • Flying over water or transparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.
o 

### Flying over extremely dark (lux < 1 0) or bright (lux > 1 0,000) surfaces.

o 

### Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).

o 

### Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). • Rying over incH ned surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. • In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. '(/: • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors. • The effective hovering altitudes 

### of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. • Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. • Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 1001ux).
o 

### Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation.
o 

### Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

## 0 Keep the animals away from lhe aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

## :rn~N**R~cor913~** Right data is automatically stored in the internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.
