You fly for fun, not for work.
You stay away from people and crowds — 30 meters or more from bystanders.
You fly in uncontrolled airspace, away from airports.
Some drone operations need extra authorization from Transport Canada beyond what your Basic or Advanced certificate covers.
// SFOC Support
You may need an SFOC if you plan to fly beyond visual line of sight, over crowds, with a drone over 25 kg, above 400 feet, or for specialized work like spraying. Foreign operators flying in Canadian airspace also need one.
FlySmart handles the application with you gathering the operational details, writing the safety case, and submitting the paperwork to Transport Canada on your behalf. Approvals typically take 30 days or more, so apply well ahead of your planned operation.
