Canada takes the lead with reasonable UAV rules

Tom McKinnon November 6, 2014

Our neighbors to the north have taken the lead in setting reasonable rules for UAV use.  Transport Canada announced at a conference in Montreal yesterday that UAVs under 2 kg do not need a Special Flight Operations Certificate.  Operators still need to comply with regulations very similar to our own AMA rules (i.e. a set distance from airports, AGL ceiling, etc) but there is no absolute ban of commercial operations.  Along with this carrot comes a large stick in the form of steep fines for companies that don't comply.  This is exactly the sort of regulation that US operators are clamoring for.  To Jim Williams and the rest of the band at our FAA -- are you listening?
