Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2014-0352.
    Petitioner: Astraeus Aerial.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Part 21, 45.23(b), 61.113(a) and 
(b), 91.7(a), 91.9(b)(2), 91.103, 91.109, 91.119, 91.121, 91.151(a), 
91.203(a) and (b), 91.405(a), 407(a)(1), 409(a)(2), and 417(a) and (b).
    Description of Relief Sought: Astraeus Aerial seeks to amend its 
original exemption by adding a dual operator system to its operation. 
In a dual operator system, the pilot in command (PIC) operates the 
aircraft from an outdoor location and maintains constant visual line of 
sight with the aircraft throughout the flight, while a second operator, 
with permission from the PIC, operates the aircraft using an array of 
video displays during certain phases of the flight. During these 
phases, the PIC can resume immediate command and control of the 
aircraft if necessary.
