setting. An exemption is required to the extent that the S1000 does not have a barometric

altimeter setting. The altitude of the aircraft is monitored by the PIC on the ground control

station and by the visual observer.

Equivalent Level of Safety: The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety can be

achieved if the aircraft will be operated at or below 400 feet AGL and within visual line-of-

sight in addition to GPS based altitude information relayed in real time to the operator. See

Grant of Exemption No. 11062, p. 20-21. As the attached Manuals indicate, the S1000 will

be operated at or below 500 feet AGL and otherwise complies with the limitations in the

Grant of Exemption No. 11062.

K. 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a): Fuel Requirements for Flight in VFR

Conditions

Consumers Energy Company requests an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.151(a)’s fuel

requirements for flight in VFR conditions. Section 91.151 states:

(a) No person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless

(considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly

to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed -

(1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or

(2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes.

Here, the technological limitations on S1000 battery power means that no meaningful flight

operations can be conducted while still maintaining a 30 minute reserve. The aircraft is

battery powered with a maximum flight time of 30 minutes. Consumers Energy Company

proposes that the maximum flight time for each operational flight will be 25 minutes. The

aircraft will be safely landed with no less than the greater of (a) 20% battery life remaining

or (b) five minutes of flight time remaining.

Equivalent Level of Safety: The FAA has stated that an equivalent level of safety is provided

if the UAS flight is conducted under daytime VFR flight conditions using VLOS, and

terminated with at least 25% reserve battery power still available. See Grant of Exemption

No. 11062, p. 21-22. The Manuals providing an equivalent level of safety by safely landing

with no less than the greater of (a) 20% battery life remaining or (b) five minutes of flight

time remaining and otherwise complying with the flight restrictions above.
