LOL! I see, looks like I have a ways yet. Thanks for you quick responses...Submitted at the end of January and received in the middle of June.
Hello!
It's been about a month since I received a receipt email from "FAA" since 7/24/2015 to be exact. Here is the return email I recieved from them on submitting my exemption....

But I currently can't find it anywhere and don't know if I submitted it correctly. Is there anyway to tell or someone to reach out to? Thanks for any help....
Congrats! It is great to see people put in the work to become commercial ready. I hope this earns you priority status in the engagements you seek.
I would love to have the ability to get one. Yet, being a diabetic - I would never be able to achieve a 333 based on current requirements.
Thanks,
Mike
What? There aren't any health requirements and sections related to the exemption request. At least not to my knowledge. As long as you can demonstrate you can fly the drone safely then its not going to be any issue. There was not one place in my whole exemption request that asked about my current health situation.
By law, any aircraft operation in the national airspace requires a certificated and registered aircraft, a licensed pilot, and operational approval. Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA)(PDF) grants the Secretary of Transportation the authority to determine whether an airworthiness certificate is required for a UAS to operate safely in the National Airspace System (NAS).
What are the main requirements needed for me to operate an unmanned aircraft or drone for my business?
A. You will need:
- a Section 333 grant of exemption,
- a Certificate of Waiver or Authorization (COA),
- an aircraft registered with the FAA, and
- a pilot with an FAA airman certificate
At the very beginning - it said:
"a licensed pilot"
Further:
See #4 - "a pilot with an FAA airman certificate"
A Pilot's License requires a health screening. As a Diabetic, I cannot obtain a pilot's license. There are a few diabetics out there who have (I have type 1) - but it is difficult and only a rare few have it. Do not be mistaken - if you don't have a Pilot's License - then you shouldn't / can't have a 333.
Do you have an FAA 8400-3?
Thanks,
Mike
Read this https://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/airmen_certification/sport_pilot/media/LSPBrochure.pdf a Sport Pilots License only requires a drivers license from the state you live in. Unless you know that you will not be able to operate a sport aircraft. This might be getting into a grey area.
Provided I otherwise qualify and have never sought FAA medical certification, am I authorized to exercise sport pilot privileges on the basis of a current and valid driver's license if I have a chronic medical condition such as diabetes?
Response by the Federal Air Surgeon
You should consult your private physician to determine whether you have a medical deficiency that would interfere with the safe performance of sport piloting duties. You may exercise sport pilot privileges provided you are in good health, your medical condition is under control, you adhere to your physician's recommended treatment, and you feel satisfied that you are able to conduct safe flight operations.
Thanks for the quick response. Why is it a PIA and what how will it take to recieve the letter in the mail so I can look out for it? Thanks High!You will get your notification via mail. Then register an N number through the OKC office (this is a frustrating process).
Thank you! Are you squared away? How long did it take you? Really appreciate your humbleness...Your letter will take about a week or so. The N number is a PIA because nobody does it!, therefore making it an endless circle of paperwork madness!!!
Not frustrating at all. Fill out like this and it will go through every time.You will get your notification via mail. Then register an N number through the OKC office (this is a frustrating process).
