- Have at least liability insurance in case your drone's props hit somebody or somebody's property
TRUE ONLY if operating under a SFOC or SFOC exemption.
You’re mixing hobby UAV and commercial UAV operators who are working under a different set of rules.
Here’s the straight dope. I’ve just gone through this and am operating completely legit.
SFOC Exemption: UAV is between 1 – 25 Kg.
Operator has completed recognized groundschool training and have proof on them during operation
Operator has training on the UAV they are flying (this can be self-taught operating under hobby rules.) There are no set rules on time required.
Operator is working in Class G airspace 7-10 NM from Class C airspace 5 NM from any other airport and 3NM from a helipad
Operate at 300ft AGL or less
Keep 100 feet from any structure, vessel, vehicle, animal, or person not associated with the operation.
Cannot fly over open air assembly.
Can only fly during daylight hours with not less than 2 statute miles visibility.
Must have minimum $100,000 liability insurance and carry proof
Must have advisory circular 600-004 on them
Must have fire extinguisher.
There are a bunch more rules like VLOS etc. but that’s the gist of it. You can read more about SFOC exemption here https://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-opssvs/AC-600-004.pdf
For groundschool training I recommend the folks at. Pilottraining.ca
