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.
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 states that to operate a drone within visual line of sight (VLOS) over 250g requires either a Basic or Advanced Certification, but what are the differences? When and where can I fly?
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.
​
To operate a drone, or RPAS, within a Class E Airspace above the sub250g limit, an operator must have their Advanced Certification to operate.
Advanced rated pilots can apply for 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.
