Hi there,
So as some of you may have heard, new drone laws are coming into effect on June 1st in Canada. Yay!
One of the new laws requires drone operators to get a Pilot Certificate, either for Basic Operations or Advanced Operations. The differences between the two can be found here: https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services ... rone-operation.html
The short version is that the Advanced Operations certificate allows you to fly with less restrictions. However, to fly a drone under the Advanced Operations laws, you need not only the appropriate Pilot Certificate, but also a drone approved by Transport Canada. The list of currently approved drones can be found here: https://www.tc.gc.ca/en/services/aviation/drone-safety/choosing-right-drone.html
As you can see, there are currently no DJI drones on said list. As such, I'm hoping to use this post as a way of getting DJI's attention (and hopefully an official response) to encourage them to submit their various drones to Transport Canada for approval under the RPAS Saftey Assurance.
Thanks for your time! Looking forward to flying under the new laws soon
Edit: My mistake - it looks as though DJI has already stated their intention to have at least some of their drones declared as suitable for Advanced Operations, as you can read here: https://www.dji.com/newsroom/new ... nadian-drone-rules. However, what isn't clear is which drones DJI intends to declare, or when they'll do so.
