New Transport Canada drone rules now in effect
Regulation Information: As of June 1, 2019, Transport Canada’s new drone rules require all drone/RPAS pilots to obtain a pilot certificate, register and display the registration number on their aircraft. There are two levels of exams for a drone pilot:
- An online written exam: covers theory knowledge required for a drone pilot and grants a basic pilot certificate upon completion.
- An in-person flight review: covers practical flight skills required for a drone pilot and grants an advanced pilot certificate upon completion. The online written exam is a pre-requisite prior to the in-person flight review.
Industry Information: Drones today are drastically improving traditional industries: from creative filming to prevision survey and public safety. There are endless possibilities where drones are benefiting our daily lives. This program will take you beyond basic regulatory requirements and help you learn about various drone commercial applications.
