Exemption No. 12049 Regulatory Docket No. FAA

–2015

–1503

Mr. Vaden B. Francisco, Jr. Hutchinson, Cox, Coons, Orr and Sherlock, P.C. Counsel for Halo Aviation, LLC 400 Woolworth Building 940 Willamette Street Eugene, OR 97440
Dear Mr. Francisco: This letter is to inform you that we have granted your request for exemption. It transmits our decision, explains its basis, and gives you the conditions and limitations of the exemption, including the date it ends. By letter dated April 22, 2015, you petitioned the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on behalf of Halo Aviation, LLC (hereinafter petitioner or operator) for an exemption. The petitioner requested to operate an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) to conduct aerial photography and videography

. See Appendix A for the petition submitted to the FAA describing the proposed operations and the regulations that the petitioner seeks an exemption

. The FAA has determined that good cause exists for not publishing a summary of the petition in the Federal Register because the requested exemption would not set a precedent, and any delay in acting on this petition would be detrimental to the petitioner

. Airworthiness Certification
The UAS proposed by the petitioner is the Blade 350QX

. The petitioner requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates

. In accordance with the statutory criteria

## 2

provided in Section 333 of Public Law 112

−95 in reference to 49 U

.S

.C

. § 44704, and in consideration of the size, weight, speed, and limited operating area associated with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from 14 CFR part 21, Certification procedures for products and parts, Subpart H

— Airworthiness Certificates, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, is not necessary. The Basis for Our Decision You have requested to use a UAS for aerial data collection1



## . The FAA has issued grants of exemption in circumstances similar in all material respects to those presented in your petition. In Grants of Exemption Nos
. 11062 to Astraeus Aerial (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0352), 11109 to Clayco, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA

−2014

−0507), 11112 to VDOS Global, LLC (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0382), and 11213 to Aeryon Labs, Inc. (see Docket No. FAA−2014−0642), the FAA f ound that the enhanced safety achieved using an unmanned aircraft (UA) with the specifications described by the petitioner and carrying no passengers or crew, rather than a manned aircraft of significantly greater proportions, carrying crew in addition to flammable fuel, gives the FAA good cause to find that the UAS operation enabled by this exemption is in the public interest. Having reviewed your reasons for requesting an exemption, I find that

—

 They are similar in all material respects to relief previously requested in Grant of Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213;
 The reasons stated by the FAA for granting Exemption Nos. 11062, 11109, 11112, and 11213 also apply to the situation you present; and

 A grant of exemption is in the public interest.
Our Decision In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the public interest. Therefore, pursuant to the authority contained in 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 40113, and 44701, delegated to me by the Administrator, Halo Aviation, LLC is granted an exemption from 14 CFR §§ 61.23(a) and (c), 61.101(e)(4) and (5), 61.113(a), 61.315(a), 91.7(a), 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(a)(1), 91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1) and (2), and 91.417(a) and (b), to the extent necessary to allow the petitioner to operate a UAS to perform aerial data collection

. This exemption is subject to the conditions and limitations listed below.

1 

### Aerial data collection includes any remote sensing and measuring by an instrument(s) aboard 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.

Conditions and Limitations
In this grant of exemption, Halo Aviation, LLC is hereafter referred to as the operator. Failure to comply with any of the conditions and limitations of this grant of exemption will be grounds for the immediate suspension or rescission of this exemption.
1. Operations authorized by this grant of exemption are limited to the Blade 350QX when weighing less than 55 pounds including payload. Proposed operations of any other aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this exemption

. 2. Operations for the purpose of closed

-set motion picture and television filming are not permitted.
3. The UA may not be operated at a speed exceeding 87 knots (100 miles per hour). The exemption holder may use either groundspeed or calibrated airspeed to determine compliance with the 87 knot speed restriction. In no case will the UA be operated at airspeeds greater than the maximum UA operating airspeed recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.
4. The UA must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL). Altitude must be reported in feet AGL.
5. The UA must be operated within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC at all times. This requires the PIC to be able to use human vision unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, as specified on the PIC’s FAA

-issued airman medical certificate or U.S. driver’s license.
6. All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The UA must be operated within the visual line of sight (VLOS) of the PIC and VO at all times. The VO may be used to satisfy the VLOS requirement as long as the PIC always maintains VLOS capability. The VO and PIC must be able to communicate verbally at all times; electronic messaging or texting is not permitted during flight operations. The PIC must be designated before the flight and cannot transfer his or her designation for the duration of the flight. The PIC must ensure that the VO can perform the duties required of the VO.
7. This exemption and all documents needed to operate the UAS and conduct its operations in accordance with the conditions and limitations stated in this grant of exemption, are hereinafter referred to as the operating documents. The operating documents must be accessible during UAS operations and made available to the Administrator upon request. If a discrepancy exists between the conditions and limitations in this exemption and the procedures outlined in the operating documents, the conditions and limitations herein take precedence and must be followed.

## 4

Otherwise, the operator must follow the procedures as outlined in its operating documents. The operator may update or revise its operating documents. It is the operator’s responsibility to track such revisions and present updated and revised documents to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request. The operator must also present updated and revised documents if it petitions for extension or amendment to this grant of exemption. If the operator determines that any update or revision would affect the basis upon which the FAA granted this exemption, then the operator must petition for an amendment to its grant of exemption. The FAA’s UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) may be contacted if questions arise regarding updates or revisions to the operating documents.
8. Any UAS that has undergone maintenance or alterations that affect the UAS operation or flight characteristics, e.g., replacement of a flight critical component, must undergo a functional test flight prior to conducting further operations under this exemption. Functional test flights may only be conducted by a PIC with a VO and must remain at least 500 feet from other people. The functional test flight must be conducted in such a manner so as to not pose an undue hazard to persons and property.
9. The operator is responsible for maintaining and inspecting the UAS to ensure that it is in a condition for safe operation.
10. Prior to each flight, the PIC must conduct a pre

-flight inspection and determine the UAS is in a condition for safe flight. The pre

-flight inspection must account for all potential discrepancies, e.g., inoperable components, items, or equipment. If the inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is prohibited from operating until the necessary maintenance has been performed and the UAS is found to be in a condition for safe flight.
11. The operator must follow the UAS manufacturer’s maintenance, overhaul, replacement, inspection, and life limit requirements for the aircraft and aircraft components.
12. Each UAS operated under this exemption must comply with all manufacturer safety bulletins.
13. Under this grant of exemption, a PIC must hold either an airline transport, commercial, private, recreational, or sport pilot certificate. The PIC must also hold a current FAA airman medical certificate or a valid U.S. driver’s license issued by a state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, a territory, a possession, or the Federal government. The PIC must also meet the flight review requirements specified in 14 CFR § 61.56 in an aircraft in which the PIC is rated on his or her pilot certificate.
14. The operator may not permit any PIC to operate unless the PIC demonstrates the ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be

## 5

operated under this exemption, including evasive and emergency maneuvers and maintaining appropriate distances from persons, vessels, vehicles and structures. PIC qualification flight hours and currency must be logged in a manner consistent with 14 CFR § 61.51(b). Flights for the purposes of training the operator’s PICs and VOs (training, proficiency, and experience
-building) and determining the PIC’s ability to safely operate the UAS in a manner consistent with how the UAS will be operated under this exemption are permitted under the terms of this exemption. However, training operations may only be conducted during dedicated training sessions. During training, proficiency, and experience

-building flights, all persons not essential for flight operations are considered nonparticipants, and the PIC must operate the UA with appropriate distance from nonparticipants in accordance with 14 CFR § 91.119.
15. UAS operations may not be conducted during night, as defined in 14 CFR § 1.1. All operations must be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). Flights under special visual flight rules (SVFR) are not authorized.
16. The UA may not operate within 5 nautical miles of an airport reference point (ARP) as denoted in the current FAA Airport/Facility Directory (AFD) or for airports not denoted with an ARP, the center of the airport symbol as denoted on the current FAA

-published aeronautical chart, unless a letter of agreement with that airport’s management is obtained or otherwise permitted by a COA issued to the exemption holder. The letter of agreement with the airport management must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.
17. The UA may not be operated less than 500 feet below or less than 2,000 feet horizontally from a cloud or when visibility is less than 3 statute miles from the PIC.
18. If the UAS loses communications or loses its GPS signal, the UA must return to a pre
-determined location within the private or controlled

-access property.
19. The PIC must abort the flight in the event of unpredicted obstacles or emergencies.
20. The PIC is prohibited from beginning a flight unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough available power for the UA to conduct the intended operation and to operate after that for at least five minutes or with the reserve power recommended by the manufacturer if greater.
21. Air Traffic Organization (ATO) Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA). All operations shall be conducted in accordance with an ATO

-issued COA. The exemption holder may apply for a new or amended COA if it intends to conduct operations that cannot be conducted under the terms of the attached COA

. 22. All aircraft operated in accordance with this exemption must be identified by serial number, registered in accordance with 14 CFR part 47, and have identification

## 6

(N−Number) markings in accordance with 14 CFR part 45, Subpart C. Markings must be as large as practicable.
23. Documents used by the operator to ensure the safe operation and flight of the UAS and any documents required under 14 CFR §§ 91.9 and 91.203 must be available to the PIC at the Ground Control Station of the UAS any time the aircraft is operating. These documents must be made available to the Administrator or any law enforcement official upon request.
24. The UA must remain clear and give way to all manned aviation operations and activities at all times.
25. The UAS may not be operated by the PIC from any moving device or vehicle.
26. All Flight operations must be conducted at least 500 feet from all nonparticipating persons, vessels, vehicles, and structures unless: a. Barriers or structures are present that sufficiently protect nonparticipating persons from the UA and/or debris in the event of an accident. The operator must ensure that nonparticipating persons remain under such protection. If a situation arises where nonparticipating persons leave such protection and are within 500 feet of the UA, flight operations must cease immediately in a manner ensuring the safety of nonparticipating persons; and b. The owner/controller of any vessels, vehicles or structures has granted permission for operating closer to those objects and the PIC has made a safety assessment of the risk of operating closer to those objects and determined that it does not present an undue hazard. The PIC, VO, operator trainees or essential persons are not considered nonparticipating persons under this exemption.
27. All operations shall be conducted over private or controlled

-access property with permission from the property owner/controller or authorized representative. Permission from property owner/controller or authorized representative will be obtained for each flight to be conducted.
28. Any incident, accident, or flight operation that transgresses the lateral or vertical boundaries of the operational area as defined by the applicable COA must be reported to the FAA's UAS Integration Office (AFS−80) within 24 hours. Accidents must be reported to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) per instructions contained on the NTSB Web site: www.ntsb.gov

. If this exemption permits operations for the purpose of closed

-set motion picture and television filming and production, the following additional conditions and limitations apply.

## 7

29. The operator must have a motion picture and television operations manual (MPTOM) as documented in this grant of exemption.
30. At least 3 days before aerial filming, the operator of the UAS affected by this exemption must submit a written Plan of Activities to the local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) with jurisdiction over the area of proposed filming. The 3

-day notification may be waived with the concurrence of the FSDO. The plan of activities must include at least the following: a. Dates and times for all flights; b. Name and phone number of the operator for the UAS aerial filming conducted under this grant of exemption; c. Name and phone number of the person responsible for the on

-scene operation of the UAS; d. Make, model, and serial or N−Number of UAS to be used; e. Name and certificate number of UAS PICs involved in the aerial filming; f. A statement that the operator has obtained permission from property owners and/or local officials to conduct the filming production event; the list of those who gave permission must be made available to the inspector upon request; g. Signature of exemption holder or representative; and h. A description of the flight activity, including maps or diagrams of any area, city, town, county, and/or state over which filming will be conducted and the altitudes essential to accomplish the operation. 31. Flight operations may be conducted closer than 500 feet from participating persons consenting to be involved and necessary for the filming production, as specified in the exemption holder’s MPTOM. Unless otherwise specified in this grant of exemption, the UAS, the UAS PIC, and the UAS operations must comply with all applicable parts of 14 CFR including, but not limited to, parts 45, 47, 61, and 91.

## 333 of the FAA Reform Act and Part 

## 11 of the Federal Aviation Regulations Requesting Party: Halo Aviation, LLC Our Client & 

## File No.: Joiner 

## -11632/12050

Pursuant to Section 

## 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 

## 2012 (the "Reform Act") and 

## 14 C.P.R. Part 

## 11, Halo Aviation, LLC ("HALO"), seeks an exemption from Federal Aviation Regulations ("FARs") detailed in this letter for the following described Unmanned Aerial System referred to in this application as the ("HALO System"), which includes an Unmanned Aircraft ("UA") and ground station-based equipment and crew. COMPANY BACKGROUND: Halo Aviation, LLC is a limitedliability company duly organized and located in the State of Oregon. The primary purpose of the LLC is to provide aeronautical education and aviation resources and training to public and private schools. Staff are highly trained, experienced individuals with years of aviation training and aircraft operation. Halo maintains liability insurance tlii-ough the Academy of Model Aeronautics.
Founder and Manager, Scot Joiner, is a licensed Airframe and Powerplant Technician and a commercial pilot (license numbers available upon request). He has worked for both in the fixed wing and rotor wing operators as well as heavy machinery. He is well versed in the operation and maintenance of UA and employs a visual observer ("VO").

## US DOT, Docket Operations April 22, 2015 Page 2 of 5
THE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT (UA): • A lightweight (24-ounce gross weight with all on-board equipment), battery operated 4-motor rotorcraft in the form of a quadcopter that takes off and lands vertically, capable of carrying the following equipmentin flight; • An on-board flight computer with GPS navigation and location ability that receives signals for flight controls from a ground-based transmitter

# Icontroller modified; • An on-board Go Pro camera capable of capturing imagery in the form of full color, high definition still photos and video; • An on-board telemetry system operating at 5.8GHz that delivers flight data from the on-board flight computer to the on-board radio transmitter including altitude AGL, horizontal and vertical speed, compass direction of flight and direction back to its launch site; • A Dx5e DSMX 5 2.4GHz on-board radio transmitter that transmits the flight data from the telemetry system described above.

THE GROUND STATION-BASED PART OF THE SYSTEM: • A Pilot in Command ("PIC") in operational control of a flight operation from beginning to end and who controls the UA while in the air; • A 2.4GHz radio transmitter

# Icontroller operated by the PIC to control the UA while in flight; • A radio receiver receiving live video from the on-board camera and computer projects it altogether onto a screen for the PIC to view during flight; • A VO who is in constant radio communication with the PIC and in visual line of sight ("VLOS") who provides a second pair of eyes to visually track the UA while in flight.
• A ground station that is marked by a fluorescent flag at a height of no more than 8 feet or 94". The ground station shall have visual contact with the UA or VO at all times.
The requested exemption would support an application for a commercial Certificate of Authorization to use the above-described HALO System to support aerial photography and video primarily of real property including but not limited to residential, commercial and agricultural properties.
The UA, powered by batteries, is smaller, lighter and more maneuverable than larger aircraft running on combustible fuel, it operates at altitudes below 400 AGL with no people onboard and will thereby reduce current risk levels and enhances safety and diminishes the likelihood of death or serious bodily injury.

## US DOT, Docket Operations April 22, 2015 Page 3 of 5
With a small payload and maximum flight time of only 10 minutes, this offers little or no risk to national security.
Low-level oblique photos and video from several angles are far more effective than ground-based imagery for displaying the characteristics of large, complex properties with several buildings and large trees. The applicants in the past have chartered 2-seat full-sized helicopters for this purpose, which have proven more costly than many potential clients have been able to afford. The benefits of reduced cost and improved quality of presentation from the UA will be valuable to and benefit many buyers and sellers of real property. Additionally, we request that our system be utilized to benefit first responders who might require assistance, including fire fighters, the police, the sheriff, search and rescue, et al., while remaining subject to all limitations cited in this application.
The HALO System will be operated in the field with both a PIC and a VO in accordance with FAA Policy N 8900.227, Section 14 "Operational Requirements for UAS" and with the following Restrictions: (a) No flight will be made with a UA gross weight exceeding 55 pounds; (b) All operations must occur in FAA Class G airspace at no more than 400 ft AGL, at an airspeed of no more than 25 knots and no further than 3

# I4 NM from the PIC; (c) All operations must utilize a visual observer (VO). The VO and PIC must be able to communicate by voice and radio at all times during a flight operation; (d) Operations will be restricted to flights over private property with the written permission of the property owner; (e) The PIC must have accumulated and logged, in a manner consistent with 14 CFR 

## § 61.51(b), a minimum of 100 flight cycles and 25 hours of total time as a UA rotorcraft pilot and at least ten (10) hours logged as a UA pilot with a similar UA type; (f) All required permits will be obtained from state and local governmentprior to operation; (g) The HALO System will not be operated over densely populated areas; (h) The HALO System will notbe operated at air shows; (i) The HALO System will not be operated over any open-air assembly of people; 

# Q) The HALO System will notbe operated over heavily trafficked roads; (k) The HALO System will not be operated within 5 NM of an airport or heliport, unless prior written approval is obtained as set forth in the FAA UAS Civil COA request and the tower is notified; (1) 

## Operations will be restricted to day-only and weather conditions equivalent to VFR;

## US DOT, Docket Operations April 22, 2015 Page4 of5 (m) The PIC will brief the VO and property owner about the operation and risk before the first flight at each new location; (n) In all applicable situations HALO will obtain written releases from landowner and verbal or written consent from neighboring properties. (o) No flight may be made without a Pre-Flight Inspection by the PIC before each operation to ascertain that the UA is in a condition safe for flight (see Appendix A and Appendix C).
The PIC and VO will meet the requirements outlined in FAA Policy N 8900.227, Section 16 "Personnel Qualifications." Additionally, the PIC and VO will perform maintenance on the system and will complete a course of maintenance instruction as part of their initial training in accordance with the UA manufacturer recommendations.
We submit that the combination of the UA's light weight, flight performance and ability, fully qualified flight crew and strict operation under the guidelines established in 8900.227, and under all of the Restrictions (a) through (o) listed above, the FAA can have full confidence that the operation will have an equivalent or greater level of safety than manned aircraft performing the same or similar missions.

# ADDENDUM

## ADDENDUM
EXEMPTION REQUESTS AND EQUIVALENT LEVEL OF SAFETY

Halo Aviation, LLC, (petitioner) requests an exemption from the following regulations as well as any additional regulations that may technically apply to the operation of the HALO System:
14 CFR Part 21, Subpart H: Airworthiness Certificates. 

### This part establishes the procedures for the issuance of an airworthiness certificate. The FAA has indicated that relief is not necessary under 14 CFR Part 21 as statutory criteria established in Section 333 of P.L. 112-95 in reference to 49 USC Section 44704, that the size, weight, speed and limited operating area with the aircraft and its operation, the Secretary of Transportation has determined that this type of aircraft meets the conditions of Section 333. However, the petitioner wishes to be thorough and requests that the FAA be reminded that the aircraft will not carry persons or property, will not carry fuel, and will only fly under strict operational requirements. Combined with the UA's light-weight, being constructed primarily of carbon fiber and plastic, we confirm that the UA will be at least as safe, if not safer, than a conventionally certificated aircraft performing the same mission.
The parts for the UA will be obtained from the manufacturer or licensed representative of the manufacturer and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
14 CFR 91.203(a) 

### & (b) Civil aircraft: Certifications required. 

### The regulation provides that an airworthiness certificate, with the registration number assigned to the aircraft and a registration certificate must be aboard the aircraft. Additionally, subparagraph (b) provides that the airworthiness certificate be "displayed at the cabin or cockpit entrance so that it is legible to passengers or crew."
At a maximum gross weight of 5.3 pounds, the UA is too small to carry documentation, does not have an entrance, and is not capable of carrying passengers or crew. To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.203, we propose that documents deemed appropriate for this aircraft by the FAA will be co-located with the crew at the ground control station and available for inspection upon request. In order to identify the aircraft, we propose that the information found on airworthiness and registration certificates be permanently affixed to the aircraft via placard containing the following information: Property of: HALO AVIATION, LLC. MFG: Horizon Hobby, Inc. 41 05 Fieldstone Road Champaign, Illinois 61822 Model: BLADE 350QX
If found please contact: (541) 954-9434
14 CFR 45.29 Size of marks. 

### These regulations provide that each aircraft must display "N" and the aircraft's registration number in letters at least 3 inches high.

Addendum Page 1 of 4

### We propose to achieve an equivalent level of safety by including a placard on the top of the aircraft, as shown above, where the PIC, VO and others in the vicinity of the aircraft while it is preparing for launch will be able to see the designation. Additionally, we feel that the permanent placard discussed in the previous paragraph will provide the aircraft's registration information at the ground station. Finally, we will display at the ground station a high contrast flag or banner that contains the words "Unmanned Aircraft Ground Station" in letters 3 inches high or greater. Since the aircraft will operate within 3/4 NM of the ground station, the banner should be visible to anyone that observes the aircraft and chooses to investigate its point of origin.
14 CFR 91.7 Civil aircraft airworthiness. This regulation provides that (a) no person may operate a civil aircraft unless it is in an airworthy condition. And (b) the pilot in command of a civil aircraft is responsible for determining whether that aircraft is in condition for safe flight. The pilot in command shall discontinue flight when unairworthy mechanical, electrical, or structural conditions occur. Petitioner understands that a UA is not issued an airworthiness certificate and understands that the FAA requires the petitioner to comply with the UA operating documents prior to every flight to determine if the UA is in an airworthy condition.
In accordance with Appendix () the PIC shall perform an airworthiness inspection prior to every flight and shall terminate or discontinue a flight as soon as safely practicable upon the discovery of an unairworthy condition which shall include mechanical, electrical or structural failures.
14 CFR 91.9 Civil aircraft flight manual, marking, and placard requirements. This regulation provides that no person may operate an aircraft unless a current, approved flight manual is in the aircraft. We assume that the intent of this requirement is to ensure that flight manual information is available to the aircrew while operating the aircraft. We request an exemption to this requirement since the aircraft is not only too small to carry documentation, the documentation would not be available to the crew during flight operations.
To obtain an equivalent level of safety and meet the intent of 91.9, we propose that a current, approved UA Flight Manual (Appendix A) must be available to the crew at the ground station anytime the aircraft is in, or preparing for, flight.
14 CFR 61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in Command and 61.133 Commercial pilot privileges and limitations. The regulation provides that no person that holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft for compensation or hire. Subparagraph (b) allows a private pilot to act as pilot in command of an 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.
Our proposed operations require that the PIC must either: 1. Hold a Commercial Pilot Certificate issued by the FAA, and have logged 25 hours of flight experience in this type of UA; 2. Meet the requirements of 8900.227 paragraph 16(c)(2)(c) "Operations without a pilot certificate" in which the PIC is required to complete "FAA private pilot ground instruction" and pass "the FAA Private Pilot written examination." Since there are currently no means available for the pilot of a UAS to gain the experience in an equivalent category and class in order to apply for a commercial pilot's license, we propose to generate an equivalent level of safety by requiring our pilots to complete, at a minimum, FAA private

Addendum Page 2 of 4

### pilot ground instruction and pass the FAA Private Pilot written examination in addition to completing and demonstrating proficiency of operation according to petitioner's guidelines and instructions set by the manufacturer. Since the aircraft cannot carry passengers or property, we feel we meet the intent of 61.113 Subparagraph (b) even though the intent of this application is to conduct a business.
14 CFR 91.109 Flight Instruction; Simulated instrument flight and certain flight tests. 

### The regulation states that "No person may operate a civil aircraft that is being used for flight instruction unless that aircraft has fully functioning dual controls."
The HALO System ground-based control station consists of a small hand-held radio transmitter and while it does not offer a second set of "controls", both the student and instructor can, and will, operate the single set of controls simultaneously. With both student and instructor having "hands-on" the controls during flight, we feel that this technique meets the intent 91.109 and provides an equivalent level of safety.
14 CFR 91.119 Minimum safe altitudes General. 

### The regulation states that over sparsely populated areas the aircraft cannot be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. Since the aircraft will be operating at a maximum of 400 feet AGL, we cannot comply with this requirement.
In order to provide an equivalent level of safety we will only fly over private property with a size of at least two acres with the permission of the owner of the property flown over. The aircraft will not be operated over congested areas or over any open air assembly of persons. The property owner will be briefed on the expected route of flight and the associated risks to persons and property on the ground. The property owner will have read and reviewed a consent and release form provided by the petitioner. The aircraft will be operated at a low altitude allowing, if a power unit fails, an emergency landing without undue hazard to persons or property on the surface. Therefore we maintain that due to the small size of the UA, the hazard to persons, vehicles and structures is minimal compared to manned aircraft, which should be considered in granting the exemption.
14 CFR 91.121 Altimeter settings. 

### The regulation requires that aircraft shall maintain cruising altitudes by reference to an altimeter setting available within 100 NM of the aircraft.
The UA will always fly below 400 feet AGL and will not need to maintain cruising altitudes in order to prevent conflict with other aircraft. An Above Ground Level altimeter measurement above the takeoff point is transmitted via radio from the UA on-board computer to the display screen held by the PIC, providing a constantly updated AGL readout.
14 CFR 91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions. 

### The regulation provides that no person may begin a flight in an airplane under day-VFR conditions unless there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for at least 30 minutes.
We feel the intention of this paragraph is to provide an energy reserve as a safety buffer for delays to landing. The UA is battery operated and the maximum duration of flight from a single battery charge is 10 minutes with a 20% reserve. Since the aircraft will never fly more than 3/4 NM from the point of intended landing, a full battery charge at launch will ensure that we meet

Addendum Page 3 of 4

### the reserve energy requirement of this paragraph. We request an exemption to the word "fuel" and ask for an equivalent interpretation with the word "energy".
14 CFR Subpart E (91.401 - 91.417)- Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Alterations. The regulation provides that the operator is primarily responsible for maintaining the aircraft in an airworthy condition, including compliance with part 39 and 43. Paragraphs 91.407 and 91.409 require that the aircraft be "approved for return to service by a person authorized under 43.7" after maintenance and inspection.
It is our intention that the PIC perform maintenance and inspection of the aircraft and "be authorized to approve the aircraft for return to service." As provided in the Pre-Flight Checklist in Appendix A, the PIC will ensure that the aircraft is in an airworthy condition prior to every flight and in addition conduct detailed inspections after every two hours of flight. Maintenance performed by the PIC is limited to repairing small cracks, replacing a propeller, checking electrical connections and updating software and firmware for the on-board computer. All other maintenance will be performed by the manufacturer or their designated repair facility. The PIC will document work performed in accordance with 91.417. We feel that due to the size, construction, and simplicity of the aircraft, the PIC can ensure an equivalent level of safety.
8900.227 Paragraph 16(c)(4) PIC Medical, and Paragraph 16(e)(1) Observer Medical. This policy provides that both the PIC and VO must have a valid FAA second-class medical certificate issued under part 67 in order to perform as a pilot or observer.
The UA maximum gross weight is 24 ounces, it is constructed of carbon fiber and plastic and the PIC is not on board. Both the PIC and the VO are required to be in VLOS. Given the unlikely event that both the PIC and VO become medically incapacitated while the aircraft is in flight, the UA will return autonomously to the site of launching and land without crew intervention. Therefore, requiring the PIC and VO to meet the same medical requirements as a commercial pilot carrying passengers in a large aircraft is an unnecessary burden.
We propose that the minimum medical requirements for the PIC and VO be vision corrected to 20/20 and a valid, state issued driver's license. The 20/20 vision requirement will ensure that the PIC and VO can see and avoid air traffic; a licensed driver is medically qualified to operate a much larger vehicle.

# Binding

• If you purchased the ready-to-fly (RTF) model, the transmitter is bound to the model at the factory. If for any reason the model needs to be re-bound, follow the

directions for the Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) version below. 

# BNF To bind or re-bind your 350 OXto your chosen DSM2/DSMXtransmitter, please follow the directions below aiQng with the binding. instructions
BIND-N-R.V" included With YOUrtransmitter:
The Binding Process 1.With the transmitter and quadcopter powered off, connect the battery



### to the 350 OX. 2. With the 350 OX on a level surtace, turn on the power switch and allow

the quadcopter to initialize. 3.Wait until the blue LED on the quadcopter flashes rapidly, signaling the

quadcopter is initialized and ready to bind. 4. Ensure throttle is in the low position and throtHe trim is at neutral. 5. Hold the control sticks in the desired bind position (see illustrations)

and press/pull the bind button/switch, then power on the transmitter. 6. Refer

### to the Flying LED Codes table to ensure the aircraft is bound

correctly. 

### IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to bind with more than one bind code. Binding with more than one bind code will only allow the aircraft to bind normally. Unless binding with a bind code, the elevator and aileron inputs Oncluding trim) must be neutral during binding.lf you are attempting a normal bind with any input otherthan neutral, the aircraft will emit aconstant, rapid beeping sound.

Ifyour 350 QX emits aconstant beeping sound after binding (Smart or Agirlly Mode only): 1. Ensure all trims are neutral. 2. Slowly move the elevator stick back and forth (close to center) and

listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate.Take note of the direction you are moving the stick when the change of tone happens. 3. Ifthe tone never changes with elevator movement, slowly move the

aileron stick back and forth (close to center) and listen for the beeping to stop or hesitate. Take note ofthe direction you are moving the stickwhen the change oftone happens. 4. Inputtrim in the direction that caused the change in tone until the

beeping 

### stops. In the event you cannot find an inputthat stops the tones: 1. Apply 1 click of elevator trim in either direction and then slowly

move the aileron stickctose to center. 2. Continue 

### to add 1 click at atime of elevatortrim, up

## GPS Functionality ofthe 350 QX To acquire a reliable GPS signal, it is important the 350 OX has aclearview of the sky. Obstructions that can affectthe aircraft's abilityto acquire an acceptable signal include:

• Flying close to or around tall/big buildings • Flying under dense vegetation • Flying indoors or under astructure Ifyou lose or cannot acquire a GPS lock and home position, the aircraft will not have Stick Relativity, SAFE Circle, Position Hold or Return Home functions available. It is not possible to use Smart Mode without having GPS enabled .Ifthe 350 

## ax is initialized without GPS enabled, itwill defaultto StabiUty Mode. The aircraft will still be capable of altitude hold. Ifyou do not have aGPS signal, try maneuvering the 350 

## ax by steering with forward elevator and rudder only.



### At.

. CAUTION: Oo not attemptto fly the 350 

## ax with GPS enabled while**~** indoors or in

# a location where the GPS signal is known to be poor, as loss of signal could result in

# a crash. 

### GPS Functions (see the binding section torturning GPS functions ONand OFF) With GPSON

• If the 350 

## ax took off with GPS lock and ahome position set, when Return

Home mode is activated the quadcopter will fly backto the start position (maintaining altitude along the way), then reduce altitude to land.
• Ifthe 350 OX should lose GPS when Return Home mode Is activated, itwill

land quickly using the barometric pressure sensorto maintain the descent rate.
• Ifthe 350 

## ax took off without GPS lock, but acquires aGPS signal in flight, it

wiD land slowly using GPS 

### to hold its position and barometric pressure sensor

### to maintain the descent rate when Return Home mode is activated.
• Ifthe 350 

## ax loses GPS during landing in Return Home mode, it will increase the rate of descent and land quickly

### to avoid drift.
• Ifthe 350 

## ax deviates too far from its Intended GPS path When in Return

Home mode, itwill descend using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate. This could happen ifthe flight control system loses its orientation because of aggressive flight in 3axis mode.
• Once the 350 

## ax has landed in Return Home mode it Will disarm the motors WithGPSOFF

• If Return Home mode is activated, the 350 

## ax will level off and land quickly

using the barometric pressure sensor to maintain the descent rate. 

## Flight Guidelines and Warnings

• Always keep aircraft in sight and under control.
• Always keep people and pets at least 35 teet (10 meters) away when the

battery is connected.
• Keep children out of the vicinity of this product at all times.
• Always use fully charged batteries.
• Always keep transmitter powered on while aircraft is powered.
• Always remove batteries before disassembly.
• Always keep moving parts clean.
• Always keep parts dry.

# EN~~==============~---- • Once the 350 

## ax has landed in Return Home mode it will disarm the motors. 

### GPS Failure Upon GPS failure, the 350 OX will respond according to the following conditions:

Smart Mode: (rapid Green flashing LED)

If the 350 

## ax is in this mode and the GPS fails, the quad will defaultto Stability Mode. The aircraft will still use the pressure sensor to maintain altitude and control rate of descent. If GPS is re-acquired, after 5-1 0 seconds of reliable GPS signal the Smart Mode functions are returned to normal stability Mode: (long Blue, two short Green flashing LED)

Ifthe 350 

## ax is in this mode and the GPS fails, itwill not switch to Smart Mode and will not enter GPS hold, but will otherwise function normally. If GPS is reacquired, after 5-10 seconds of reliable GPS signal the Stability Mode functions are returned to normal Agility**Mode~** (long Red, two short Green flashing LED)

Ifthe 350 

## ax is in this mode and the GPS fails, itwill not affectflight performance, but itwill not be able to switch into Smart Mode. Itwill still be able to switch into Stability Modewith the limitations described above. 

### Loss of 

### Transmitter Signal It the transmitter signal is lost for any reason, the 350 

## ax will respond according to the following conditions:

• Ifthe motors are notturning, the 350 

## aX Will disarm.
• ltthe motors are turning but the 350 

## ax is notflying, itwill turn off the motors and disarm.
• If the 350 QX is flying and has agood GPS lock with ahome position set,

it will activate the Return Home function upon the loss ot1he transmitter signal.
• Ifthe compass Is notconnected orfaulty, or ifthere is no GPS lock, the 350



## axwill descend slowly upon the Joss ofthe transmitter signal.
• Ifthe pressure sensor is notworking, the 350 QX will reduce powerto initiate a controlled descent upon the loss of the transmitter signal.

• Always let parts cool after use before touching.
• Always remove batteries after use. • Always have afirst aid kit with you. • Always have an appropriate fire extinguisher with you. • Never operate aircraft with damaged wiring.
• Never touch moving parts. The Blade 350 

## ax has many more features than other Blade quadcopters. Please take the time to read this manual and understand the functions this aircraft contains before flying.

## Compass Calibration The Flight Controller on the 350 OX has automatic magnetic declination calibration, so you will not have to worry about looking up the magnetic declination at 

### your location and changing settings on your 350 OXto get accurate compass measurements. It is possible, however, thatyour compass may need to be calibrated ifit is exposed to strong magnetic fields. 

### Compass calibration procedure: 1. Go to an open space outdoors awayfrom metal.Take aconventional compass with you to ensure you know the direction of north. 2. Ensure your transmitter is off and then connect aflight batteryto the 350 

# ax. Powerthe aircraft on. Wait five seconds and then the blue LED will begin flashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is initialized and ready to bind. 3. Once the blue light begins flashing, bind with yaw stick left.The 350 OX LED will slowly flash between red and green for 5seconds. 4. Put the 350 OX flat in your hands and face north. After 5seconds of slow flashing the quad will start flashing rapidly. The quad is now collecting data to be used for the calibration. 5. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees about the east-west axis ("flip" the aircraft eitherforward or backward) until itis flat in your hands again. 6. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now facing north-west. 7. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees abOutthe east-west axis, ("flip" the aircraft diagonally either direction) until it is flat in your hands again. 8. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees leftso the quad is now facing west. · 9. Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees abOut the east-west axis ("flip" the quad sideways either direction) until it is flat in your hands again. 10. Continue facing north and yaw the quad 45 degrees left so the quad is now facing south-west. 11.Slowly rotate the quad 360 degrees abOutthe east-west axis ("flip" the aircraft diagonally eitherdirection) until it is flat in your hands again. You have 30 seconds to complete the procedure. The 350 QX should still be blinking rapidly when you finish. Hold the· aircraft still until itstops blinking rapidly. If successful, the 350 OX will beep apositive confirmation and then restart itself. If unsuccessful, the 350 

# ax displays the failed calibration code, asolid white LED.Ifthe 350 QX displays this error code, power off the aircraft and then begin the calibration procedure again.

Step 11 Step7 

### '---------- Step9

The pressure sensor is calibrated atthe factory on the 350 

## ax. Reoalibration should only be necessary ifyou replace the sensor.

1. Place the 350 

## ax in acold area. Allow itto remain in the cold for 30 minutes or more. 2. Bring the 350 

## ax out ofthe cold and into awarm area The greater the difference in temperature between the cold and warm areas, the more accurate the calibration will be. 3. Ensure yourtransmitter is off and then connect aflight batteryto the 350

# ax and powerthe aircrafton. Wait five seconds and then the blue LED will begin flashing rapidly, signaling the aircraft is initialized and ready to bind. 

## Accelerometer Calibration To calibrate the accelerometer, the quadcopter needs to fly for 20 seconds while being level. This allows the accelerometer readings to be averaged and stored in memory. Use the following procedure to calibrate the accelerometer: 1. Power on the quadcopter with the transmitter offto enter bind mode. 2. Turn on the transmitterwhile holding the elevator stick back and pressing the bind switch. 3. Set the flight mode switch to Stability Mode or Smart Mode. The quadcopter Will fly in Stability Mode no matter which position is selected. 4. Startthe motors. Fly the quadcopter off the ground. The quadcopter LED will flash slowly (red, green, blue). 5. Use trims to adjust roll/pitch so the quadcopter does not drift lefVright and forward/back. 6. Activate the accelerometer calibration mode by changing the flight mode switch into Agility Mode.The vehicle will still fly in Stability Mode.The LED**==~will** start flashing quickly (red, green, blue).

# ~c============~--- EN 4. Once the blue light begins flashing, bind with yaw stick right. The 350 

## axwill blink red and blue rapidly. Leave the aircraft and transmitter powered on and allowthe aircraftto warm up for 1 0 minutes. Do not move the aircraft during this time. 5. After 10 minutes the motors on the aircraft will beep to indicate the calibration is complete. Power off the aircraft and then your transmitter. Ifthe 350 OX displays the failed calibration code, power offthe aircraft and then begin the pressure calibration procedure again.

7. Fly steadily tor 10-30 seconds. The LED will flash slowly when data collection is done. 8. Land the quadcopter and stop the propellers by lowering the throttle and throttle trim. IMPORTANT:The calibrated values are not yet permanently stored. Do not turn offthe quadcopter. 9. Center the trims on the transmitter. Start the motors and verify the quadcopter flies without drifting. 10. Land the quadcopter and stop the motors by lowering the throttle and throttle trim. 11. Save the calibration by moving the rudder stick quickly lett, right, left, right. Values are saved when you hear a rapid triple tone twice. 12. Turn offthe quadcopter. 13. Confirm the calibration by powering up the quadcopter and performing atest flight. Ifthe calibration is not correct, startthe calibration procedure again.
