The FAA’s 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, Astraeus Aerial is granted an exemption from
14 CFR §§ 61.113(a) and (b); 91.119(c); 91.121; 91.151(a); 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 Astraeus to
operate unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for the purpose of scripted, closed-set filming for
the motion picture and television industry. This exemption is subject to the conditions and
limitations listed below.
Conditions and Limitations
Relative to this grant of exemption, Astraeus is hereafter referred to as the operator.
The Flight Operations and Procedures Manual (FOPM) and Motion Picture and Television
Operations Manual (MPTOM) are hereafter collectively referred to as the operator’s manual.
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.
The operator proposed the following conditions and/or limitations, which were accepted by
the FAA.

aircraft will require a new petition or a petition to amend this grant.
2. The UA may not be flown at a ground speed exceeding 50 knots.
3. Flights must be operated at an altitude of no more than 400 feet above ground level
