Why You Should Choose A Certified Drone Pilot
On June 1st , 2019, Transport Canada established new Rules and Regulations for RPAS Operation-Or Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems.
With these new Rules came two levels of Piloting requirements:
Basic and Advanced, and now Complex.
Here at Flight Ready Media, we carry an Advanced RPAS - Flight Reviewer rating, allowing operations in many different classes of airspace.
Certification
High-quality cameras, LiDAR equipment, and Model Aircraft generally weigh more than 250 grams, and a heavier more capable drone can handle the elements much better, as well as carry a much heavier camera system or payload.
Transport Canada Part IX CARs states that to operate a drone within visual line of sight (VLOS) over 250g requires either a Basic or Advanced Certification, depending on the class of airspace.
Controlled Airspace
Our skies are Regulated by Transport Canada and flight operations are managed by NavCanada . We need to know the type of airspace we are operating in at all times in order to stay within regulation, and for the safety of manned aviation and those on the ground.
​
To operate a drone above the 250g limit within a Class E Airspace (such as Sarnia/CYZR Chris Hadfield Airport), an RPAS operator should have their Advanced Certification to operate within that class of airspace.
Advanced rated pilots can streamline operations efficiently and easily be granted permissions, like a Special Flight Operations Certificate to fly at events, as well as operate in Restricted Airspace.
Liability & Insurance
At Flight Ready Media, we take our work and safety seriously. Regardless of experience and technology, events beyond our control can occur which is why we carry Liability Insurance Coverage at all times.
You'll rest easy knowing that you and your clients are covered.
