It is the responsibility of the flight crew to be proficient with the aircraft operational manual provided by the véndor before any flight operations are conducted. It is also a best and safe practice to prepare an Emergency Checklist in case of emergencies. The RPIC should always be prepared to execute an emergency procedure in instancès where there is a lost link, loss of GPS, or there are other aircraftor obstructions in the flight path. Helshe should brief the flight crew before the start of the flight operations about emergency procedures and have a mission abort site for landing in the case of an emergency.. After the aircraft has safely landed, it  should be documented for maintenance purposes.  Some possible emergencies due to system failures are as follows:  Loss of GPS  Autopilot Software error/failure Loss of Datalink communications Loss of Engine power Ground Control System failure Line of Sightl Loss Fire  Intrusion of another aircraft into the UAS mission airspace  Medical emergency at operating location  This is not meant to be a comprehensive list as the types of failures and associated emergency  conditions vary for different UAS, airspace events, and crew performance.  1.  Emergency and Alternate Landing locations  a) Alternate and emergency landing locations shall be determined prior to flight operations and the RPIC should be prepared to move to the allemnatelemergency landing sites should an abnormal operation or emergency occur including, but not a)! In the event the UA experiences a loss of link or ground control station failure, the RPIC shall make every attempt to reestablish the radio link to the UA. This may be accomplished through antenna adjustments or removinga jand obstacle blocking antenna transmission. Further guidance is given in the operating manual. If the Loss of Link continues formore the 3 seconds, the UAI initiates the Return to Home (RTH) feature automatically. The UAI will be climb to 4001 feet AGL and return to the "Home" position which is set prior tot the launch of the aircrafton the current mission.

All incidents of lost a) Communications between the RPIC and the Visual Observer (VO) is crucial for successful operations.

There may be instances where UA operations are interrupted by other aircraft. The RPIC should be prepared to take immediate action should they or the VO observe another aircraft in the operational airspace. b) The RPIC should, always during flight, be prepared to land the aircraftimmediately if an airspace intrusion occurs.

A copy of the Applicant's completed Special Exception Permit Application Form The proposed Wireless Facility is critical to Verizon Wireless' goal of providing robust voice and data seryices in Richmond County, including wireless broadband, along Newland Road (SR 624) and in the surrounding area, including the nearby residences and businesses in the Inland Village of Newland. Antennas operating on the proposed Wireless Facility, will connect with antennas operating on existing towers along Kings Highway (SR 3). Like the networks of other wireless carriers, Verizon Wireless' network of antenna sites is largely based on the use of existing telcommunications towers and tall structures built by Verizon Wireless and other wireless carriers and tower companies. Before determining that a new Wireless Facility was necessary to: satisfy its service and coverage objectives, the Applicant first searched the area around the proposed Wireless Facility, for existing telecommunications towers and/or tall structures on which it could collocate its antennas. Verizon Wireless is already located on the closest existing tower, which is located approximately 3.6 miles to the northeast. There are no other towers or structures with sufficient height within four (4) miles of the proposed Wireless Facility that would satisfy  ("Application"): isi included as Exhibit A.  Verizon Wireless' coverage objectives.  Ini fact, as indicated int the location and tower heightj justification letter written by Verizon Wireless' Senior Engineer Consultant - Radio Frequency, Frank Mayer (RF Engineer Location & Height Justification Letter"), which is included as Exhibit B, it is due to the fact that there no other existing telecommunications towers or tall structures in this part ofthe County and the fact that the geographicarea Verizon Wireless is attempting to cover is sO large that Verizon Wireless is seeking a special exception permit with a maximum height limit waiver in order to construct and operate a new Wireless Facility consisting of a 250-foot galvanized steel self-support lattice telecommunications tower with a 4-foot lightning rod, together with related antennas and equipment on a 10,000 square foot leased portion ofthe  Property to satisfy its coverage objectives.

Although Virginia Code $15.2-2316.42.A9) prevents a locality from imposing a greater setback than the setbacks required of any utility in the underlying zoning district, the proposed telecommunications tower meets or exceeds the setbacks specified in $157.108(K) of the County's Ordinance from each property line!.

In addition, andi ini response to the hierarchy set forthi in $157.108(E)ofthet County's Ordinance, Virginia Codes $ 152231642.A0)povens al locality from discriminating or creating aj preference on the basis ofownership, including ownership by the locality of any property or structure, when promulgating rules for siting wireless facilities or for evaluating 1$157.108(B) excludes towers used exclusively by the County or for private radio and television reception from the definition oft the term' "Wireless Telecommunications Facilities" and Telecommunications Tower".

As indicated above, like other wireless telecommunications carriers, Verizon Wireless looks first for any towers or tall structures on which it can locate its antennas and equipment, when it determines thati it has ai need to operate a wireless facility in aj particular location. Verizon Wireless is already located on the closest existing tower located approximately 3.6 miles to the northeast. There are: no other towers or structures with sufficient height within 4 miles of the proposed Wireless Facility that would satisfy Verizon Wireless' coverage objectives; therefore, in order to provide much needed robust wireless telecommunications services int the area, an additional wireless telecommunications facility is necessary at 9.

Richmond County is ai fairly rural community, with a population density of only about 42 people per square mile. The higher elevation oft the antennas allows their signal to travel further without being Currently' VZW has 5 sites in the county serving primarily along the 360 and Route 3 corridors.

This site is designed to improve coverage in that portion of the Allof our current antenna arrays in Richmond County, with the exception of thei tower near Haynesville (195' RCL) are well over 2001 feet. This site is consistent with those previous deployments. We always first try to collocate on existing structures, but there are none in this area that met our design needs, Radio signal propagation varies widely depending on both thet frequency used and the physical environment it must propagate through, but a projected modeling of some of our more efficient frequencies show a coverage footprint of approximately 60 square miles when the antennas are located at 247 feet. When the same model is run at 1401 feet- the result is roughly 41 square miles, whichi isa significant reduction in service area.
