Dear Sir

### or Madam:

As an inspector 

### of residential properties 

### for insurance companies, and 

### a real 

### estate agent representing 

### the buyer, Ioften encounter situations 

### where Icannot complete 

### the required 

### inspection. Examples are flat 

### or nearly flat roofs and houses located close 

### together, inhibiting aview of

### the roof.
Homebuyers want 

### to know 

### what material is used on a

### flat roof and 

### what condition it is

### in. lnsurance companies
are requesting photographs 

### as proof of

### the present condition of

### the roof of

### the property they are

### writing a policy 

### for. Hail or wind damaged, 

### aged,and improperly installed roofing 

### materials pose 

### a much 

### greater risk

### for insurance companies.
Building contractors 

### are not available 

### for ladder inspections, and accessing 

### the roof insuch a

### way is risky

### for bodily injury and most often

### just not possible.



### Aerial inspections 

### completed by avery small and light-weight drone 

### within a

### timeframe of 15 minutes 

### will provide information tothe consumer that could save them thousands of

### dollars in 

### repairs needed later due 

### to leaking roofs
orwater damage inside 

### their 

### home. Such accurate roof inspections 

### will save insurance companies huge 

### sums in claims due to water damage.

I

### am requesting an 

### exemption of 

### current rules preventing 

### the use 

### of model 

### aircraft for 

### such purposes pursuant to Section 333 of

### the FAA Modernization 

### and Reform Act 

### of

### 2012 (FAA-2014-0958-0001).


### lwill use

### a Parrot 

### BeBop Drone, avery 

### smalland lightweight 

### modelaircraft. lt is

### approximately 14 inches in 

### diameter. The Parrot BeBop is really

### just a high-tech 

### toy, but it hasthe 

### capabilityto meet my inspection needs.
Using 

### this model aircraft for 

### the inspection 

### of residential property 

### roofs, Iwill 

### alwaysfly 

### it in

### visual line of sight and below 100 feet of 

### elevation. Such flights 

### will be conducted during daytime 

### Visual Fllght Rules (VFR) conditions, and operate within 

### visual line of 

### sight (VLOS) of

### the pilots, and stay 

### certaindistances away 

### from airports or heliports asfollows: 5 nautical miles (NM) 

### from an 

### airport having an 

### operationalcontroltower; or 3 NM from an airport 

### with a published instrument flight procedure, 

### but not an 

### operational tower; 

### or 2 NM

### from an airport 

### without a published instrument flight procedure or 

### anoperationaltower; 

### or 

# 2 NM from 

### a heliport 

### witha published instrument 

### flight procedure.
Spectators 

### will not be allowed and 

### a property owner wanting to observe 

### the inspection 

### will be placed 20

### feet behind the operator for 

### safe observation. A second person 

### on my 

### flight crew 

### will maintain such order with 

### the public fortheir 

### safety. Asthe launch operator, I

### will be responsible 

### for ensuring 

### the safe conduct of

### the launch andfor ensuring public safety and 

### the safety 

### of property at all times during the 

### conduct of such a permitted launch.

Because the model 

### weighs less

### than one pound, it is unlikely to cause 

### any damage to other objects if itdoes
come into contact 

### withthem.A high-resistance EPP outdoor hull protects 

### other objects 

### from potential bumps 

### of the propellers. I have $50,000 

### dollars of insurance coverage 

### for bodily harm and the 

### same coverage 

### for property damage as a

### contractor. Iam also 

### a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics.

### The model aircraft iscapable of only a short flight 

### on its battery time of

### 22 minutes. 

### This model 

### aircraft is not

designed or equipped to carry objects of 

### any kind. lt's sole purpose isto

### deliver high quality 

### still photographs.
Specifications for the Parrot BeBop Drone 

### are included below.

Thank youforyour consideration 

### and I look fonrvardtoyour timely response.
