safety hazard. Given the size and speed of the S1000, an equivalent level of safe training can

still be performed without dual controls because no pilot or passengers are aboard the

aircraft, and all persons will be a safe distance away in the event that the aircraft experiences

any difficulties during flight instruction. In addition, Consumers Energy Company will

conduct flight training at a remote facility away from population centers. These training

flights will be conducted on the R&D Sites and will otherwise comply with the provisions in

the Manuals. Accordingly, Consumer Energy’s proposed method of operation provides

superior levels of safety.

14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c): Minimum Safe Altitudes in Uncongested

Areas

Consumers Energy Company requests an exemption from the minimum safe altitude

requirements of 14 C.F.R. § 91.119(c). Section 91.119(c) prescribes that an aircraft may not

be operated closer than 500 feet to any person, vessel, vehicle, or structure. The Manuals

provide for operations away from congested populations areas on the R&D Sites, but in close

proximity to wind turbines and towers on R&D Sites 306. The FAA has already determined

that relief from Section 91.119(c) is warranted for UAS operations in uncongested areas with

similar flight restrictions as those imposed by Consumers Energy Company. See Grant of

Exemption No. 11062, p. 20-21.

Equivalent Level of Safety: Compared to flight operations with rotorcraft weighing far more

than the maximum weights proposed herein, and given the lack of flammable fuel, any risk

associated with these operations is far less than those that presently exist with conventional

aircraft. An equivalent level of safety will be achieved given the size, weight, and speed of

the S1000, as well as the locations where it is operated – the R&D Sites. In order to avoid

any risk to aircraft, flight operations will be restricted to 500 feet AGL or below. Other

aircraft are already prohibited from operating closer than 500 from the wind turbine

structures where Consumers Energy Company proses to operate. This is airspace where other

aircraft do not normally operate. As set forth in the Manuals and herein, the S1000 will be

operated in the remote R&D Sites, away from persons or structures not involved in the

operation. All persons who are not involved with Consumers Energy Company’s operations

will be required to be at least 500 feet from flight operations. This will pose no risk to the

public because other aircraft are not operating in these areas.

91.121: Altimeter Settings

This petition seeks an exemption from 14 C.F.R. § 91.121, which requires a person operating

an aircraft to maintain cruising altitude or flight level by reference to an altimeter that is set

to the elevation of the departure airport. The S1000 uses both barometric pressure sensors

and GPS to determine altitude but does not have the ability to set in a current altimeter
