RE: 

# Introduction, Exemption for Use of UAS for Business Applications

October 13, 2015

To whom it may concern:

I, David Marsh, dba "Perspective Aerial Productions, LLC," am writing pursuant to the FAA

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11, to request

that I, David Marsh, am owner and operator of small unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Federal

Aviation Regulations (FARs) listed below so that I, David Marsh, may operate my small ultralight weight

unmanned aircraft system (UAS) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA).

As described herein I, David Marsh, am a licensed commercial pilot, certificate number: 3319982, having

obtained my certificate in 1994. I am experienced in flying hobby aircraft for recreational purposes and

have been flying RC fixed wing and rotor aircraft since I have 2010. I have added two state-of-art

professional grade quad-copter UAS vehicles from well-known manufacturer (DJI) to my inventory

equipped with factory installed high resolution gimbaled camera systems with intent for aerial photos,

videography/cinematography. I have also added a state of the art professional grade octocopter from

the same manufacturer (DJI) with a gimbaled camera for aerial photos, videography/cinematography.

The purpose of these equipment additions will be to enhance academic community awareness for

those individuals and companies unfamiliar with UAVs in the geographical layout of the areas I serve,

to provide small businesses and individuals with video production services targeting marketing,

construction progress, tower inspection, insurance assessments, real estate, search and rescue, event

videography including but limited to wedding, sports, public/private events, weather, etc., following

the exemption and approval for my operations while also reducing risk and liability from manned

aircraft alternatives.

# David Marsh

Perspective Aerial Productions, LLC

Request for Exemption for Use of UAS

Under Section 333, Title 14

I am also a member of the AMA, Academy of Model Aeronautics, and have flown small radio controlled

(RC) electric aircraft for over five (5) years without incident. I have been flying RC gasoline powered fixed

wing aircraft since 2010, also without incident. Committed to safety with each flight, my exemption

request would permit operation of light weight, unmanned (piloted by remote control) and

comparatively inexpensive UAS(s) in areas away from general public, airports, heliports, and vehicular

traffic. My general purpose for the use of the UAS will be to produce community videos; videos of

commercial, industrial, and residential properties for sale or rent and within property boundaries for

individual homeowner, insurance assessments, real estate listing videos/photos; small business videos;

construction progress and tower inspection; and event videography including by not limited to wedding,

sports, public/private parties, etc. Currently, similar lightweight, remote controlled UASs are legally

operated by unmonitored amateur hobbyists with no safety plan or controls in place to prevent

catastrophe. I have personally designed and implemented safety protocols and controls to prevent

public hazard and mitigate risk significantly over the alternative manned aircraft hazards/catastrophe. In

addition, services performed by the UAS will allow for video which cannot be safely shot from

conventional manned aircraft alternatives.

Additionally, I will notify any persons present in the operational area by posting temporary safety signs

notifying all persons that aerial drone videography operations are taking place and to be alert to the

presence of the UAS aircraft. Signs will be posted up to 30 minutes before flight operations and continue

until all UAS operations are concluded at each site. This will act to further safety protocols exclusive to

lightweight UAS's specific to video and photography usage as I, David Marsh, record flight data and

other information gained through permitted flight operations to share with the FAA through any

required FAA reports to assist with future protocol and safety regulation

Granting my, David Marsh, request comports with the Secretary of Transportations (FAA Administrators)

responsibilities and authority to not only integrate UAS's into the national airspace system, but to also

establish requirements for the safe operation of such aircraft systems [UAS's] in the national airspace

system under Section 333(c) of the Reform Act specific to the use of UAS's for real estate/Realtor

purposes and other small business applications. Further I will conduct my operations in compliance with

the protocols described herein or as otherwise established by the FAA.

For the reasons stated below I, David Marsh, respectfully request the grant of an exemption allowing me

to operate ultra-light weight, remote controlled UASs for academic community awareness to

benefit/stimulate attraction to the areas of operation in the United States and its surrounding

communities to enhance videos for businesses and private individuals who cannot afford expensive,

high-risk manned aircraft for the same purpose. My activities will promote local economic growth

through increased employment and increased tax base, the provision of new services and enhancement

of producing a more efficient and more comprehensive photographic and cinematography system,

allowing consumers to better determine the value of the specific projects using enhanced online video

capabilities. Furthermore, by using my UAS system as an alternative to heavier manned aircraft

containing combustible fuel that poses potential public hazard, I will also be contributing to the safety of

the local communities served.

RE: 

# Introduction, Exemption for Use of UAS for Business Applications

October 13, 2015

To whom it may concern:

I, David Marsh, dba "Perspective Aerial Productions, LLC," am writing pursuant to the FAA

Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 and the procedures contained within 14 C.F.R. 11, to request

that I, David Marsh, am owner and operator of small unmanned aircraft, be exempted from the Federal

Aviation Regulations (FARs) listed below so that I, David Marsh, may operate my small ultralight weight

unmanned aircraft system (UAS) commercially in airspace regulated by the Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA).

As described herein I, David Marsh, am a licensed commercial pilot, certificate number: 3319982, having

obtained my certificate in 1994. I am experienced in flying hobby aircraft for recreational purposes and

have been flying RC fixed wing and rotor aircraft since I have 2010. I have added two state-of-art

professional grade quad-copter UAS vehicles from well-known manufacturer (DJI) to my inventory

equipped with factory installed high resolution gimbaled camera systems with intent for aerial photos,

videography/cinematography. I have also added a state of the art professional grade octocopter from

the same manufacturer (DJI) with a gimbaled camera for aerial photos, videography/cinematography.

The purpose of these equipment additions will be to enhance academic community awareness for

those individuals and companies unfamiliar with UAVs in the geographical layout of the areas I serve,

to provide small businesses and individuals with video production services targeting marketing,

construction progress, tower inspection, insurance assessments, real estate, search and rescue, event

videography including but limited to wedding, sports, public/private events, weather, etc., following

the exemption and approval for my operations while also reducing risk and liability from manned

aircraft alternatives.

# II. The Specific Sections ofTitle 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations From

Which David Marsh Requests Exemption are:

14CFR 21; 14CFR 45.23(b}; 14CFR 61.113(a}&(b}; 14CFR 91, et seq.;

14CFR 407(a}(1}; 14CFR 409(a}(2}; and 14CFR 417(a}&(b}.



# III. The Extent of relief David Marsh seeks and the Reason He Seeks Such Relief:

Page 7 of 25 I, David Marsh, am a licensed Private Pilot, certificate number 3319982, having obtained my

license in 1995.

I, David Marsh, submit this application in accordance with the Reform Act, 112PL 95§§ 331-

334, seeking relief from any currently applicable FARs operating to prevent me, David

Marsh, contemplated commercial cinematic, academic and other flight operations within

the national airspace system.

··

The Reform Act in Section 332 provides for such integration of civil unmanned aircraft

systems into our national airspace system as it is in the public's interest to do so. David

Marsh's ultra-light weight UAS is expressly contemplated by the Reform Act. I would like to

operate my ultra-light weight UAS prior to the time period by which the Reform Act requires

the FAA to promulgate rules governing such craft. Thereby, providing direct experience and

valuable information for formal regulation that can be administered uniformly to all real

estate related UAS aerial video and photography.

The Reform Act guides the Secretary in determining the types of UAS's that may operate

safely in our national airspace system. Considerations include: The weight, size, speed, and

overall capabilities of the UAS's; whether the UAS will be operated near airports or heavily

populated areas; and

, whether the UAS will be operated by line of sight. 112PL 95 § 333(a}.

Each of these items reflects in favor of an exemption for me. My UAS aircraft utilize four (4}

or eight (8} counter-rotating propellers for balance, control and stability. My UA's are

equipped with GPS and auto return safety technology. My UA Maximum Takeoff Weight is

less than twenty-five (25} pounds (far below the maximum 55 pounds limit}; including

camera with gimbal and any other payload. Each would be classified as an ultra-light UAS

aircraft.

I consider safety as foremost with each flight. My small unmanned aircraft are designed to

hover in place via GPS and operate in less than a 24 knot (20.8 mph} wind. For safety,

stability and fear of financial loss, I will not fly in winds exceeding24 kph (20.8 mph}. Built in

safety systems include a GPS mode that allows my UAS to hover in place when radio controls

are released. With three modes to choose from, I ut!lize the Smart Mode* (See

manufacturer's Operating Manual} for aerial videography/photography. This is the safest,

most reliable and stable mode to prevent accident and hazard. When pilot communication

is lost the UA is designed slowly return and descend to point of takeoff. I do not operate my

UAS near airports, hospital or police heliports, and do not operate near areas where general

public is within fifty to one hundred (50-100} yards depending on location, conditions, and

weather.

# for Use of UAS

Under Section 333, Title 14

Horizontal Ground Speed for most drone videography requirements are typically less than 7-

10 miles per hour which further adds to safety. Maneuvers are limited in scope and gently

performed (as opposed to more radical recreational use) due to the need to keep the

camera steady for video purposes. Flight paths are planned out in advance, as opposed to

recreational flight and therefore safer than many recreational flights since speed,

maneuvers and flight paths are very conservative and preplanned.

During any planned operation of the UAS, I first scout the area and flight path; determine

what obstacles, if any, are present, where to post warning signs notifying persons that aerial

drone photography is taking place and any other conditions from lighting, line of sight issues

and power lines that I should be aware of to conduct safe operations. I clearly mark the area

of the flight path with warning signs indicating that the UAS will be in operation 30 minutes

prior to the flight and until all flight operations have ceased.

I maintain a second observer at all times who remains within 10 yards of the PIC position

and who is responsible for spotting obstacles, people, vehicles, and manned aircraft, as well

as keeping track of the UAS position.

I am constantly alert for any manned aircraft (Police/Medical helicopters, private and

commercial aircraft of any type, model aircraft, etc.) and prepared to land/abort

immediately to the nearest and safest ground point should a manned aircraft approach my

location or I suspect manned aircraft may approach near my location. My UAS is capable of

vertical and horizontal operations, and are flown only within my line of sight, as the remote

control pilot (PIC).

Utilizing battery power rather than combustible fuels, flights generally last between three

(3) to fifteen (15) minutes, with an altitude under 400 feet. I utilize a fresh fully charged

battery with each flight as a safety precaution; full flight time limit for each battery is

eighteen {18) to twenty-five (25) minutes as specified by the manufacturers and consistently

twenty-one {21) to twenty-five (25 minutes as tested.

My flight equipment provides for the monitoring of battery levels during flight. I do not

operate my UAS at or below manufacture recommended minimum charge levels for

operation; preferring to remain well within a safe operating range to insure adequate

communication between radio control and UAS to eliminate potential for crash, loss of

control or hazard. Reserve batteries are on hand with each event to insure replacement for

a sufficient safe level of operation. I do not believe in taking risks that may cause a crash,

that could create a hazard to the public, public or private property, or manned aircraft and

have no desire to lose my very substantial investment in my UAS equipment.

As of this time, I have completed over 200 practice flights with over 40 hours of UAS

airborne operations as a hobbyist simulated fights for future commercial use to gain

familiarization with the characteristics of my specific UAS models' operations and

performance under different temperature and weather conditions. I also practice regular

weekly computerized simulated flights to maintain adequate skills and response reflex time,

all this for the sake of safety. I have no less than (5) five hours of flight time logged in each

model proposed herein within the past 90 day period.

# David Marsh

Perspective Aerial Productions, LLC

Request for Exemption for Use of UAS

Under Section 333, Title 14

I, David Marsh, am extremely cautious when operating my UAS/ultra-light weight aircraft

and will not "create a hazard to users of the national airspace system or the public." 112PL



# 95§ 333(b). Given the small size and weight of my UAS it falls well within Congress's

contemplated safety zone when it promulgated the Reform Act and the corresponding

directive to integrate UAS's into the national airspace system. David Marsh's UASs, used in

hobby flight, has a demonstrated safety record and does not pose any threat to the general

public or national security. The UAS aircraft used are modern model units manufactured by

leading manufacturers (brand names) in the industry: DJI. They have extensive experience in

Unmanned Aerial Video flight Systems and provide extensive software, flight manuals,

operational information, specifications, and customer support on their products.



# IV. How David Marsh's Request Will Benefit the Public as a Whole:

Aerial videography for geographical awareness and for real estate marketing has been around for a

long time through manned fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. For small budget real estate

companies and average homeowners the expense of such aerial videography is cost prohibitive. Only

large companies and high-end realtors or luxury homeowners can afford to absorb such expense,

depriving non-luxury homeowners and lower budget realtors from a valuable marketing tool.

Manned aircraft pose a threat to the public through potential catastrophic crash, each having the

potential result of loss of life, damage to property and substantial cost involved in responding to,

handling the emergency and the subsequent investigation and clean up. Each such manned aircraft

event also involves combustible fuel that in the Past has exploded and burned on impact. Police

helicopters have made emergency hard landings within city limits. My, David Marsh's, UAS pose no

such threat since size and lack of combustible fuel alleviates almost all potential threat to the public.

Congress has already proclaimed that it is in the public's interest to integrate commercially flown

UAS's into the national airspace system, hence the passing of the Reform Act. Granting my, David

Marsh's, exemption request furthers the public interest through academic/visual awareness of the

geographical benefits in and around the United States. My ultra-light UAS is battery powered and

creates no emissions that can harm the environment. The consequence of my ultra-light weight UAS

crashing is far less than a full sized helicopter or fixed wing aircraft; which are manned, heavy,

contain combustible fuel and can cause catastrophic devastation to the public.

The public's interest is furthered by minimizing ecological and crash threat by permitting aerial

video/photo capture through my battery operated ultra-light UAS's. Permitting me, David Marsh, to

immediately fly within national air space furthers economic growth. Granting my exemption request

substantially furthers the economic impact for the North Dakota and surrounding communities and

cities for companies looking to relocate for career advancement through academic and geographical

awareness; both of which serve as a stimulus to the communities involved.

# V. Reasons Why David Marsh's Exemption Will Not Adversely Affect Safety or

How the Exemption Will Provide a Level of Safety At least Equal to Existing

Rule:

My, David Marsh's, exemption will not adversely affect safety. Quite the contrary, for the reasons

stated, permitting me, David Marsh, to log more flight time in FAA controlled airspace, with

communication with the FAA, will allow me to contribute to the innovation and implementation of

new and novel, as of yet undiscovered safety protocols for realtors that can be embraced by the

NAR, AAR, and TAR for development in cooperation with the FAA, In addition I, David Marsh, submit

the following representations of enhancements to current aerial videography and photography for

real estate:

My UAS aircraft weigh less than 25 pounds complete with a small ultra-lightweight high quality

factory installed gimbaled high definition camera; I only operate my UAS below 400 feet (within in

the 400 foot permissible ceiling set by the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012); my UAS only

operates for 3-15 minutes average per flight; I land my UAS significantly prior to manufacturer

recommended minimum level of battery power which my flight systems monitor throughout the

flight; I pilot my UAS through remote control only by line of sight; My UAS has GPS a flight safety

feature whereby it hovers and then returns to the point of takeoff. Then slowly lands if

communication with the remote control pilot is lost; I actively analyze flight data and other sources

of information to constantly update and enhance safety protocols; I only operate in reasonably safe

environment that are strictly controlled, are away from power lines, elevated lights, airports, and

actively populated areas; I conduct extensive pre-flight inspections and protocol according to all

manufacturers recommendations as well as that of the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics),

during which safety carries primary importance; I always obtain all necessary permissions prior to

operation; and

, I have procedures in place to abort flights in the event of safety breaches or any

potential danger.

My, David Marsh's, safety protocols provide a level of safety equal to or exceeding existing rules. It is

important to note that absent the integration of commercial UAS into our nation airspace system,

helicopters are the primary means of aerial video and photography for community awareness and

real estate While the safety record of such helicopters is remarkably astounding there have been

incidents involving loss of life as well as extensive property damage; it is far safer to operate a

battery powered ultra-light weight UAS.

Page 10 of25 First, the potential loss of life is diminished because UAS's carry no people on board and I

only operate my l)AS in specific areas away from mass populations.

Second, there is no fuel on board a UAS and thus the potential for fire or explosions is

greatly diminished.

Third, the small size and extreme maneuverability of my UAS allows me to remotely pilot

away from the avoidable hazards quickly and safely.

Lastly, given its small size and weight, even when close enough to capture amazing images,

my UAS need not be so close to the objects they are focused on through the technology and

use of post editing software allowing pan, tilt, and zoom.

Under Section 333, Title 14

Accordingly, my UAS has been experimentally operated for familiarization/competency and will

continue to operate at and above current safety levels.



# VI. A Summary the FAA May Publish in the Federal Register:

A. 14CFR 21 and 14CFR 91: Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals, and Similar.

14 CFR 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness Certificates, sets forth requirements for

procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in relation to FAR§91.203(a)(1). The size,

weight, and enclosed operational area of my UAS aircrafts permit exemption from Part 21

because my UAS aircrafts meet (and exceed) an equivalent level of safety pursuant to Section

333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft from the airworthiness

certificate requirement under both the Act (49 USC§44701(f)) and Section 333 of the Reform

Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the airworthiness certificate

requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed, maneuverability and proximity to areas

such as airports and dense populations. My current and projected UAS's meet or exceed each of

the elements.

14 CFR § 91.7(a) prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no

such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is

inapplicable.

14 CFR § 91.9 (b) (2) requires an aircraft fight manual in the aircraft. As there are no on-board

pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An

equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a safety/flight manual delineating

areas of where safety can be defined. The FAA has previously issued exemption to this regulation

in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565, 965GB, 10167, 10167A, 10602, 10700,

and 32827.

14 CFR § 91.121 regarding altimeter setting is inapplicable insofar as my UAS utilizes electronic

global positioning systems with a barometric sensor.

14 CFR § 91.203(a) and (b) provides for the carrying of civil aircraft certifications and

registrations. They are inapplicable for the same reasons described above. The equivalent level

of safety will be achieved by maintaining any such required certifications and registrations by me

and any proposed PICs of the UAS proposed.

14 CFR § 45.23: Marking of the Aircraft

Applicable Codes of Federal Regulation require aircraft to be marked according to certain

specifications My UASs are, by definition, unmanned. They therefore do not have a cabin,

cockpit, or pilot station on which to mark certain words or phrases. Further, two-inch lettering is

difficult to place on such small aircraft with dimensions smaller than minimal lettering

requirement.

Request for Exemption for Use of UAS

Under Section 333, Title 14

Regardless, I propose that each UA will carry its appropriate "N" number if one is issued by the

FAA, in such size as can reasonably fit upon the sides of the aircraft in at least two locations on

the booms or fuselage. If an "N" number is not obtained from the FAA, I will mark the related

UAS in the largest possible lettering by placing the word "EXPERIMENTAL" on its fuselage as

required by 14 CFR § 45.29(f) so that I, the pilot, or anyone assisting me as a spotter with the UA

will see the markings. The FAA has previously issued exemptions to this regulation through

Exemptions Nos. 8738, 10167, 10167A, and 10700.

14 CFR 

# § 61.113: Private Pilot Privileges and Limitations: PIC

Pursuant to 14 CFR §§ 61.113(a) & (b), private pilots are limited to non-commercial operations.

The FAA has previously ruled in its exemption that a Private Pilot's Certificate is required for

flight of the UAS for commercial purposes. I, David Marsh, am a licensed commercial pilot and

will assure that all PIC's proposed to operate any of the UAS aircraft also have at minimum a

Private Pilot's certificate and current Class Three medical.

My UAS's do not carry any pilots or passengers. The risks attended to the operation of my UAS is

far less than the risk levels inherent in the commercial activities outiines in 14 CFR § 61, et seq.

Thus, allowing me and any other Private Pilot certified PIC to operate the proposed UAS's to

meet and exceed current safety levels in relations to 14 CFR § 

# 61.133(a)&(b).

14 CFR 91.119: Minimum Safe Altitudes.

14 CFR 91.119 prescribes safe altitudes for the operation of civil aircraft. It allows helicopters to

operate at lower altitudes in certain conditions. My UAS will never operate at an altitude at

greater than 400 AGL; the safety standard set by FAA. I will however operate my UAS's in safe

areas away from public and traffic, providing a level of safety at least equivalent to or below

those in relation to minimum safe altitudes. Given the size, weight, maneuverability and speed

of my UAS, an equivalent or higher level of safety will be achieved.

14 CFR 91.40S(a); 497(a)(1); 409(a)(2); 417(a)&(b): Maintenance Inspections

The above-cited Regulation require, amongst other things, aircraft owners and operators to

"have [the] aircraft inspected and prescribed in Subpart E of this part and shall between required

inspection, except as provided in paragraph ( c ) of this section, have discrepancies repaired as

prescribed in part 43 of this chapter

... "

These Regulations only apply to aircraft with an airworthiness certificate. They will not,

therefore, apply to my proposed UAS's. However, as safety precaution I require the PIC to

perform a comprehensive pre-flight and post-flight inspection of the UAS, adhering to the

manufacturers' recommendations and checking all flight systems, power systems, rotors, and

electronics including battery levels. The UAS has significant self-diagnostic software and systems

checks built into its operations. Any system not reporting correctly and fully functional shall

result in an aborted flight until the problem is identified and solved and the systems once again

report 100% functional and operational.

A Summary the FAA My Publish in the Federal Register: A. 14 CFR 21 and 14 CFR 91:

Airworthiness Certificates, Manuals, and similar. 14 CFR 21, Subpart H, entitled Airworthiness

Certificates, sets forth requirements for procurement of necessary airworthiness certificates in

Page 12 of25

# David Marsh

Perspective Aerial Productions, LLC

Request for Exemption for Use of UAS

Under Section 333, Title 14

relations to FAR § 91.203(a)(1}. The size, weight, and enclosed operational area of my UAS's

permits exemption from Part 21 because my proposed UAS's meets an equivalent level of safety

pursuant to Section 333 of the Reform Act. The FAA is authorized to exempt aircraft form the

airworthiness certificate requirement under both the Act (49 USC§ 44701(f}} and Section 333 of

the Reform Act. Both pieces of legislation permit the FAA to exempt UAS's from the

airworthiness certificate requirement in consideration of the weight, size, speed,

maneuverability and proximity to areas such as airports and dense populations. My UAS's both

meets or exceeds each of the elements.

14 CFR 91.7(a} prohibits the operation of an aircraft without an airworthiness certificate. As no

such certificate will be applicable in the form contemplated by the FARs, this Regulation is

inapplicable. 14 CFR § 91.19(b}(2} requires an aircraft flight manual in the aircraft. As there are

no pilots or passengers, and given the size of the UAS's, this Regulation is inapplicable. An

equivalent level of safety will be achieved by maintaining a manual. The FAA has previously

issued exemptions to this regulation in Exemption Nos. 8607, 8737, 8738, 9299, 9299A, 9565,

95656, 10167, maintenance program that involves regular software updates and curative

measures for any damaged hardware. Therefore, an equivalent level of safety will be achieved.

In summary, David Marsh seeks an exemption from the following Regulations:

14CFR 21, subpart H; 14CFR 45.23(b); 14CFR §§ 61.113(a}&(b}; 14CFR § 91.7(a}; 14CFR § 91.9 (b)

(2}; 14CFR 91.103(b}; 14CFR 91.109; 14CFR § 91.119; 14CFR § 91.121; 14CFR § 91.151(a}; 14CFR

§§91.203(a} and (b); 14CFR § 91.405(a}; 14CFR § 91.407(a)(1}; 14CFR §91.409(a}(2}; and 14CFR

§91.417(a}&(b} to commercially operate my three small, ultra-light weight, unmanned aircraft

vehicles (UAV's} to community awareness for the public good and for real estate to enhance

operations and small business operations, to develop economic platforms for real estate to

enhance the experience of those seeking to relocate to any such area served.

Currently, area awareness and real estate aerial videography/photography relies primarily on

the use of larger aircraft running on combustible fuel, posing potential risk to the public.

Granting my request for exemption will reduce current risk level and thereby enhance safety.

My UAS aircraft do not contain potentially explosive fuel. They are far smaller, lighter, and more

maneuverable than conventional real estate video and photographic aircraft with much less

flight time and do not require transit to and from the "shoot" location to an airport, resulting in

far less required time airborne and therefore exposure & Liability. Further, I operate at lower

altitudes and in controlled airspace eliminating potential public risk flying to and from

established airports and operations take place well below pattern altitudes. All of my operations

are conducted with a pre-flight aircraft inspection, flight path inspection, and actual flights are

normally conducted at very low altitudes and speed with conservative maneuvers necessary for

video cinematography.

I, David Marsh, have been informally analyzing flight information and will compile safety

protocols and implementation of a flight operations manual for real estate and similar small

business usage that exceeds currently accepted means and methods for safe flight. Formal

collection of information shared with the FAA will enhance the FAA's internal efforts to establish

protocols for complying with the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012.

Accordingly, I respectfully request that the FAA grant my exemption request and am willing to cooperate in

# Operational Policies for all Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Perspective Aerial Productions, LLC

David Marsh



# 1. The unmanned aircraft system (UAS) will weigh less than 25 pounds, including energy source(s)

and equipment and shall not be loaded with any unauthorized payloads.

2. The UAS will not be flown at a ground speed exceeding 35 mph.

3. Flights will be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level (AGL), as

indicated by the procedures specified in the operator's manual. All altitudes reported to ATC

muST be in feet AGL.

4. The UAS will 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.

5. All operations will utilize a visual observer (VO). 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.

6. Prior to each flight the PIC will inspect the UAS to ensure it is in a conditional for safe flight. If the

inspection reveals a condition that affects the safe operation of the UAS, the aircraft is
