Application Details
1. Applicant Permit Application: 2014–
013, Ian Shaw and Thomas Kokta,
Polar Latitudes, Inc, Fairfield CT.
Activity for Which Permit Is Requested
Waste; The applicants wish to fly a
small, battery operated, remotely
controlled copter equipped with a
camera to take scenic photos of the
Antarctic. The copter would not be
flown over concentrations of birds or
mammals or over Antarctic Specially
Protected Areas. The copter would only
be flown by Thomas Kokta who has
trained for more than 40 hours using the
copter. Several measures would be
taken to prevent against loss of the
copter including painting the copter a
highly visible color, only flying it when
the wind is calm, flying the copter for
only 10 minutes at a time to preserve
battery life, and ensuring that the
separation between the operator and
copter does not exceed its ‘‘operational
range’’ of 500 meters. The applicants are
seeking a Waste Permit to cover any
accidental releases that may result from
flying the copter.
Location
Western Antarctic Peninsula Region.
