Transport Canada expects you to follow these basic Do’s and Don’ts!
Do Fly:
– Only fly your aircraft during daylight and in good weather (not in clouds or fog).
– Always keep your aircraft in sight, where you can see it with your own eyes – not only through an on-board camera, monitor or smartphone.
– Make sure your aircraft is safe for flight before take-off. Ask yourself, for example, are the batteries fully charged? Is it too cold to fly?
– Know if you need permission to fly and when to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate
– Respect the privacy of others – avoid flying over private property or taking photos or videos without permission.
Don’t fly:
– Closer than 9 km from any airport, heliport, or aerodrome.
– Higher than 90 metres from above the ground.
– Closer than 150 metres from people, animals, buildings, structures, or vehicles.
– In populated areas or near large groups of people, including sporting events, concerts, festivals, and firework shows.
– Near moving vehicles, avoid highways, bridges, busy streets or anywhere you could endanger or distract drivers.
– Within restricted airspace, including near or over military bases, prisons, and forest fires.
– Anywhere you may interfere with first responders
