Hi All,

First of Happy New Year to fellow forum members

I've been scratching my head on Mavic Air 2 for nearly 3-4 weeks with no firm decision to date. Toronto city wide restrictions (pl refer below) and red zones on Drone site selection tool have left me wondering if there's a slightest scope to fly in & around GTA with Basic license. I see a lot of listings on Kijiji and FB marketplace where people sell less than 6 months old 250g+ drones in no time- could be because most of them aren't aware of these restrictions or fail to obtain license.

Reference-

• Response to Administrative Inquiry regarding drone safety in the City of Toronto- https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2020/ia/bgrd/backgroundfile-157070.pdf
• Drone site selection tool | National Research Council Canada- https://nrc.canada.ca/en/drone-tool/
  

As a Torontorian, if I buy MA 2 and get basic license, I absolutely see no scope flying it in GTA.

• Were/are there anyone in similar situation like mine and ventured out nearby places for basic drone operations?
• Any places within GTA for safe flights?
• Can I fly in my backyard provided the drone's trajectory remains within the boundary of backyard?
  

Thank you
