Petition for Exemption

    Docket No.: FAA-2022-0124.
    Petitioner: Phoenix Air Unmanned, LLC.
    Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: Sec. Sec.  61.3(a)(1)(i), 
61.23(a)(2), 89.105, 91.119(c), 91.121, 91.151(b), 91.403(b), 
91.405(a), 91.407(a)(1), 91.409(a)(1), 91.409(a)(2), 91.417(a), and 
91.417(b).
    Description of Relief Sought: Phoenix Air Unmanned, LLC (PAU) seeks 
relief to operate the SwissDrones SVO 50 V2 Unmanned Aircraft System 
(UAS) for the purposes of linear infrastructure operations, including 
aerial work, aerial photography, survey, and powerline and pipeline 
patrol and inspection. These operations include beyond visual line of 
sight (BVLOS) operations over certain roads and transient operations 
over people within the right of way (ROW). Operations that do not meet 
the criteria for BVLOS due to population density, roadway congestion, 
proximity to airports, and/or airspace may still be flown within VLOS 
of the PIC with certain restrictions. Moreover, PAU requests relief to 
the remote identification of unmanned aircraft regulation until the 
time that the manufacturer's equipment is available.
