# C. 

# Live Map and Radar with Failsafe & 

# Battery Warnings: The controller displays a live map and radar to show the aircraft's recent flight path, heading, bearing and distance from "home" (a predetermined start location within the boundaries ofthe privately owned property) for complete situation awareness. It 

# also illustrates battery status and low- battery warnings with estimated time to return "home" to alert the PIC and ensure that the aircraft does not power down unexpectedly duringuse. D. 

# LED Flight Indicators: LED lights are mounted to the four rotor arms of each model to visually indicate aircraft orientation (attitude) and status of the flight control system, alertingthe PIC ofpossible issues. E. 

# Maximum Height andRadius Limits: Before beginning flight, the PIC may set a maximum altitude and distance that prevent the sUAS from exceeding altitude limits and distance from "home." F. 

# Flight-limited SafetyZones: The sUAS flight software comes loaded with a list ofrestricted areas that are divided into one ofthree categories: category A, category B, or no fly. Category A areas include major international airports; Category B is comprised ofsmaller airports; and the no-fly zones are sensitive national security areas. Each restricted area is comprised of a no-fly zone in which the sUAS cannot be operated and a warning zone surrounding the no-fly zone in which the PIC is alerted to the sUAS' proximity to a restricted area. Category A areas also include larger restricted-altitude zones in which the sUAS will only fly below a certain altitude. G. 

# Loss ofLink: The built-in GPS system that aids in stability control will automatically return the sUAS to "home" if communication between the controller and aircraft is lost. The sUAS will enter failsafe mode when connection with the controller is lost and will wait 3 seconds before either landing or returning to a home point to land, depending on whether the sUAS is operating in GPS mode. When in non-GPS mode, the sUAS automatically lands after 3 seconds. In GPS mode, the aircraft automatically returns to home and lands. When flying back to home, the aircraft first will ascend to pre-set altitude to avoid obstacles. Ifthe aircraft is above the pre-set altitude when loss oflink occurs, it will fly directly backto the home point. H. 

# Loss o(GPS: If a loss of GPS occurs, the PIC maintains positive control ofthe aircraft and can either land the sUAS, hover in place until GPS is reacquired, or continue the flight. Additionally, the sUAS have the ability to abort a flight in the eventofunpredicted obstacles or emergencies.

# interest by providing faster and more cost-efficient insurance claim processmg and insuranceunderwriting. Use ofsUAS technology will also serve the public interest by helping to curb insurance fraud. Ifinsurance carriers can quickly and efficiently documenttheir riskportfolios before and after a loss, claims paid based on fraudulent circumstances will naturally reduce, as will the instances ofattempted fraud. Additionally, no national security issue is raised by the grant ofthe requested exemption due to the sUAS' small size and load-carrying capacity, as well as their operational limitations and lack offlammable fuel. All PICs will have been screened by the Department ofHomeland Security. The grant of the requested exemption is in the public interest based on the clear direction in Section 333 and 49 U.S.C. § 

# 44701(£), the equivalent and enhanced level of safety ofthe proposed operations, and the significant public benefit, and cost savings to be realized as a result of the use of sUAS for aerial inspections. Accordingly, the applicant respectfully requests thatthe FAA grantthe requested exemptionwithoutdelay. 

# • Privacy Concerns The proposed operations will take place only over private or controlled-access property and only after obtaining written or verbal consent from the individual who owns or controls the property or is the property owner's authorized representative, pursuant to the express requirements ofthe application or policy ofinsurance, before each flight.

## APPENDIXA EXEMPTION REQUEST AND EQUIVALENTLEVEL OF SAFETY SHOWINGSUNDERAPPLICABLE RULES SUBJECT TO EXEMPTION 

# Olympus requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any additional regulations that the FAA deems necessary to the operation ofthe DJI Phantom 3 Professional sUAS: 14 C.F.R. Part21, SubpartH: Airworthiness Certificates 

# Tile 14, Part 21, Subpart H of the Code of Federal Regulations establishes the procedural requirements for the issuance ofairworthiness certificates as required by § 91.203(a)(l). Given the size and weight of the aircraft, the operating conditions, design safety features, and the proposed conditions and limitations, it is unnecessary to go through the certificate of airworthiness process under Part 21 Subpart H to achieve or exceed current safety levels. Such an exemption meets the requirements ofan equivalent level ofsafety under Part 11 and Section 3 33. Section 3 3 3 authorizes the FAA to exempt aircraft from the requirement for an airworthiness certificate, upon consideration of the size, weight, speed, operational capability, andproximityto airports andpopulatedareas ofthe s UAS involved. In this case, an analysis of these criteria demonstrates that the sUAS operated without an airworthiness certificate, under the conditions proposed herein, will be at least as safe, or safer, than a conventional aircraft (fixed wing or rotorcraft) with an airworthiness certificate. The Phantom weighs 2.82 pounds. It 

# does not carry a pilot, passenger or flammable fuel. It 

# will operate exclusively within a controlled area pre-disclosed and in compliance with the conditions set forth herein. Unlike other civil manned aircraft operations, operations under this exemption will be tightly controlled and monitored by the PIC and visual observer, pursuant to the conditions set forth in Appendix B, the Operating Documents, and local public safety requirements. The FAA will have advance notice of all operations, to the extent required, through the filing ofNOTAMs. The lack of flammable fuel and the fact that the aircraft are carried to the location and not flown there all establish an equivalentlevel ofsafety. The sUAS provide at least an equivalent level of safety to that of such operations being conducted with conventional aircraft that would be orders-of-magnitude larger and would be carrying passengers, cargo, and flammable fuel. 14 C.F.R. § 61.23 (a) & 

## (c) 

# Section 61.23(a) requires a person exercising the privileges ofa transport pilot certificate to hold a first-class medical certificate, the privileges ofa commercialpilot certificate to hold a secondclass medical certificate, and the privileges ofa private or recreational pilot certificate to hold a third-class medical certificate. Section 61.23(c) requires a person to hold a medical certificate or U.S. driver's license when exercising the privileges of a sport pilot certificate in a lightsport aircraft otherthan a gliderorballoon.

Appendix A-1

# The operations proposed herein will provide an equivalent level ofsafety by complying with the conditions and limitations of this exemption. The FAA has found that these conditions and limitations provide an equivalent level ofsafety in numerous previous exemptions, including but notlimitedto Exemptions 11213, 11252, 11275, 11277, and 11278. 14 C.F.R. § 61.101 (e)(4) & 

## (5): Recreation PilotPrivilegeand Limitations; 14 C.F.R. § 61.315(a): What are the privileges and limits ofmy sport pilotcertificate 

# Section 61.101(e)(4) prohibits a recreational pilot from acting as pilot in command ofan aircraft for compensation or hire. Section 61.101(e)(5) prohibits a recreational pilot from acting as pilot in command of an aircraft in furtherance of a business. Section 61.315(a) authorizes persons holding a sportpilotcertificateto act as pilotin command ofa light-sportaircraft. As with previous Section 333 exemptions, an equivalent level of safety is established because (1) the aeronautical knowledge requirements that would be applicable to UAS operations for a recreational pilot and sport pilot certificate were substantially similar as those for a private pilot certificate; (2) holders ofrecreational and sport pilot certificates are subjectto security screening by the Department of Homeland Security; and (3) risk was mitigated through conditions and limitationsregardingPIC training. 14 C.F.R. §§ 61.113(a) & 

## (b): CommercialPilotPrivileges 

# Sections 61.113(a) & 

# (b) limit private pilots to non-commercial operations. Unlike a conventional aircraftthat carries a pilot, passengers, and cargo, the UAS are remotely controlled with no passengers or property of others on board. The area of operation is controlled and restricted, and all flights are planned and coordinated in advance as set forth in the Operating Documents. In conjunction with the PIC's required training, the level of safety provided by the requirements included in the Operating Documents meets or exceeds that provided by a single individual holding a commercial pilot certificate operating a conventional aircraft. The proposed operationswill achieve at leastan equivalentlevel ofsafety. 14 C.F.R. § 91.7(a): CivilAircraftAirworthiness 

# Section 91.7(a) prohibits an individual from operating a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition. No FAA standard exists for determining an aircraft's airworthiness when an airworthiness certificate is not issued. As the FAA has done with previous exemption grants, airworthiness will be ensured and an equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved by compliance withthe OperatingDocumentspriorto everyflight. 14 C.F.R. §

## 91.119(c): Minimum SafeAltitudes 

# Section 91.119 establishes safe altitudes for operation of civil aircraft. Specifically, Section 91.119(c) limits aircraft flying over areas other than congested areas to an altitude of 500 feet above the surface, except over open water or sparsely populated areas. In those cases, the aircraft may not be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Because the aerial photography and videography work must be accomplished at altitudes less than 500 feet AGL anexemptionis required. The equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved given the sUAS' size, weight, speed, and proposed operating conditions. sUAS operations will be conducted over private or controlledAppendix A-2 LV420507643v1

# access property with consent granted by the property owner/controller or authorized representativepriorto each operation. 14 C.F.R. § 91.121: AltimeterSetting 

# Section 91.121 requires each person operating an aircraft to maintain crmsmg altitude by reference to an altimeter that is set "to the elevation ofthe departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure." The Phantom's Inertial Measurement Units have barometric altimeters, but they cannot be set to the elevation of the departure location. Rather, upon initialization, the sUAS calibrate their positions without user input and transmit a single altitude measurement to the ground station. Thus, an exemption is required. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by the operator, pursuant to the Operating Documents, confirming the altitude of the launch site shown on the altitude indicator before flight. 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): FuelRequirementsfor Flightin VFR Conditions 

# This regulation 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 ofintended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed - (1) During the day, to fly afterthat for at least 30 minutes; or (2) Atnight, to fly afterthatfor at least45 minutes." The Phantom batteries provide approximately 23 minutes of powered flight. Without an exemption from 14 C.P.R. § 

# 91.151, the sUAS flights would not be allowed. Given the limitations on its proposed operations, allowing the sUAS to operate without the required reserve fuel is reasonable and is consistent with prior exemptions. An equivalent level ofsafety will be achieved because operating the sUAS without 30 minutes of reserve fuel does not engender the type of risks that Section 91.151(a) was meant to prevent given the size and speed at which the sUAS operate. In the unlikely event that a sUAS should run out of battery power, it would simply land. Given the sUAS's weight and construction material, the risks are less than contemplated by the current regulation. Olympus will require the UAS to returnhome and land whenthe batteryreaches 30% capacity. 14 C.F.R. §§ 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2), and 91.417(a) & 

## (b): Maintenance Inspections 

# Section 91.405(a) requires that an aircraft operator or owner "shall have that aircraft inspected as prescribed in subpart E ofthis 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." Section 91.407 similarly makes reference to requirements in Part 43. Section 91.409(a)(2) requires an annual inspection for the issuance of an air worthiness certificate. Section 91.417(a) requires the owner or operator to keep records showing certain maintenance work that has been accomplishedby certificated mechanics, under Part 43, or licensed pilots and records ofapproval ofthe aircraftfor return to service. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved by complying with the Operating Documents maintenance and inspection requirements because the sUAS will carry no external payload, will operate only in restricted predetermined areas. In addition, the PIC will ensure that the sUAS is in working order prior to initiating flight, perform required maintenance, and keep a log of any Appendix A-3 LV 420507643v1

# maintenance that is performed. Moreover, the PIC is the person most familiar with the aircraft and is best suited to maintain the aircraft in an airworthy condition and to ensure an equivalent level ofsafety.

Appendix A-4 LV 420507643v1

# APPENDIXB OLYMPUS OPERATING LIMITATIONS 

# 1) Operations authorized by the grant of exemption are limited to the following aircraft: DJI Phantom 3 Professional. 2) The Phantom shall not be flown at a speed exceeding 16 m/s. 3) The sUAS will not be operated at an altitude more than 400 feet.

# Aircraft This section introduces the features of the Flight Controller, Vision Positioning System, and the Intelligent Flight Battery

10 © 20 15 OJI All Rrghls AeservF.U

# Aircraft Flight Controller The Phantom 3 Professional's flight controllerfeatures several important upgrades, including a new flight mode. Safety modes include Failsafe and Return-to-Home.These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature. 

## Flight Mode Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found below: P-mode (Positioning) : P-mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P-mode, which will be automatically selected by the Phantom 3 Professional depending on signal strength of GPS and Vision Positioning sensors : P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available.The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal strength is not sufficient. The aircraft is using only the Vision Positioning System for positioning. P-ATII: Neither GPS nor Vision Positioning is available. The aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude can be stabilized. A-mode (Attitude): GPS and Vision Positioning System are not used for stabilization. The aircraft only uses its barometer.The aircraft can still automatically return to the home point if the control signal is lost and the Home Pointwas recorded successfully. F-mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode For more information about IOC, referto the IOC section in the Appendix.



## :C;j: Usethe Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode ofthe aircraft, referto the "Flight Mode Switch" on Page 26 for more information. 

## Flight Status Indicator The Phantom 3 Professional has Front LEOs and Aircraft Status Indicators.The positions of these LEOs are shown in the figure below:

Aircrah Status lndrcator



### The Front LEOs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEOs glow solid red when the aircraft is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft The Aircraft Status Indicators communicate the system status ofthe flight controller. Refer to the table below for more information aboutthe Aircraft Status Indicators:Phantom3 Professional User Manual

## Return-to-Home (RTH) The Return-to-Horne (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Horne Point. There are three types of RTH procedures: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these three scenarios in detail. 

### GPS Home Point

**~111!1** 

## Smart RTH Descrigl\2n If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is the location from which the aircraft was launched.The GPS signal strength is indicated by the GPS icon (

**~.ull** 

### )
.The aircraft status indicatorwill blink rapidly when the home point is recorded.

Use the RTH button on the remote controller (referto "RTH button" on page 26 for more information) or tap the RTH button in the DJI Pilot app and follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraftwill then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point You may use the remote controller's control sticks to control the aircraft's position to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control ofthe aircraft.Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

## Low BaUery FtTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft
. Users are advised to return homeor land the aircraft immediately when prompted. The DJI Pilot app will display a notice when a low battery warning is triggered . The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-second countdown The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the remote controller.The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the aircraft's current altitude and distance from the Home Point. The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long enough to descend from its current altitude The user can still use the remote controller to alter the aircraft's orientation during the landing process. The Battery Level indicator is displayed in the DJI Pilot app, and is described below:

the user can press Smart RTH button to regain control to cancel the ascending 

## Visian Positiening System The DJI Vision Positioning System uses ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position .With the help of Vision Positioning, your Phantom 3 Professional can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where a GPS signal is not available. The main components of the Vision Positioning System are located on the bottom of your Phantom 3 Professional: they include [2]two ultrasonic sensors and [1] one monocular camera.Using Vision Positioning Phantom3 Professional User Manual

[1J [2]

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Phantom 3 Professional is turned on. No further action is required Vision Positioning is typically used in indoor environments. where GPS is unavailable. Using the sensors that are built into the Vision Positioning system, the Phantom 3 Professional can hover precisely even without GPS

properly on surfaces without clear pattern variations. 3. Turn on the aircraft. The aircraft status indicator will flash green two times. which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready, Gently push the throttle up to lift off and the aircraft will hover in place. 

# & The performance of your Vision Positioning System is affected by the surface over which it is flying
. The ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when operating above sound-absorbing materials. In addition, the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The aircraft will switch from P-mode to A-mode automatically if neither GPS nor Vision Positioning System are available Operate the aircraft with great caution in the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e
.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green)
. • Flying overa highly reflective surfaces. • Flying at high speeds(over 8 m/s at 2 meters orover 4 m/s at 1meter)
. • Flying overwater ortransparent surfaces. • Flying over moving surfaces or objects. • Rying in an areawhere the lighting changes frequently ordrastically. • Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 100,000) surfaces
. • Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e g.thick carpet)
. • Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. • Rying oversurfaces with identical repeating patternsortextures (e
.g tiles with the same design)
. • Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves awayfrom the aircraft.Phantom 3 Professional User Manual 

## :\j: • Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness of the sensors • Vision Positioning is only effectivewhen the aircraft is ataltitudes of 0 3 to 3 meters. • The Vision Positioning System may notfunction properlywhen the aircraft is flying over water. • The Vision Positioning System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100 lux)
. • Donot use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation • Vision Positioning System may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) at fast speeds 

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

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically recorded to the internal storage of the aircraft.

**T~is** includes flight telemetry, aircraft status information, and other parameters. To access these data, connect the aircraft to the PC through the Micro-USB port and launch the DJI Pilot app.

. Aircraft Status Indicators blink red and yellow rapidly when a compass error occurs and the OJI Pilot app will display one of the following messages: • Compass error, calibration required

This warning message indicates the aircraft is receiving abnormal compass readings. It is recommended to power off the aircraft and re-calibrate the compass at a different location and then resume the flight. • Compass error, exit P-GPS Mode

This warning message indicates that the aircraft is drifting severely Bring the aircraft to a higher altitude to gain enough GPS satellite locks when this warning message is prompted . The flight controller will automatically adjust the orientation of the aircraft in the midair to mitigate the drifts. The aircraft will switch backto P-GPS mode when the automatic adjustment is completed. How to troubleshoot aircraft initialization error? If you observe the following symptoms, it indicates the aircraft has failed to initialized: • The aircraft status indicator display flashing red, yellow and green. Even the aircraft is stationed on the

flat surface. • The System Status Bar in the app prompts "Initialization Error" • No resistance drive if felt on the gimbal. "Tl )> 0Phantom 3 Professional User Manual Various factors contributetothe aircraft initialization error, try resolve the issue byfollowing the suggestions listed below: • Sensor performance degraded. This may be due to the excessive bias detected from the IMU or the

compass reading is interfered. Try restarting and calibrating the IMU and compass to resolve this issue. • Sensor is defective. If the sensors remains unchanged at all time and the problem persist even when the

aircraft is restarted, it indicates the sensor is not working normally. Users should return the aircraft to DJI for repairing. • Minor vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. Put the aircraft on the flat surface, power on the

aircraft and ensure the aircraft is stationed for more than 5 seconds to resolve the issue. • Serious vibration is detected during aircraft initialization. This instance generally occurs when the aircraft

is being initialization on the violent moving surface, for instance, ships that are on the rough sea. Do not attemptto power on the aircraft in this scenario.

## Intelligent Onentatien Control (ICC) IOC allows users to lock the control orientation of the aircraft in different modes. There are three working modes for IOC that can be selected in the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works when the aircraft is in F-mode, therefore the user musttoggle the flight mode switch to activate IOC. Referto the table below: Course Lock (CL)
Home Lock (HL)' Point of Interest (POl)' The nose direction, at the time that CL is set, will remain the forward direction regardless of howthe orientation and position ofthe aircraft changes. This will remain fixed until you reset itor exit CL mode. Record a Home Point (HP) and enter HL mode. The forward and backward controls will move the aircraft farther from and closerto the established Home Pont, regardless of howthe orientation and position ofthe aircraft changes. Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POl). The aircraft can then circle around the POl and the nose will always points toward the POi.
