Hello,

In a post from January 2019, DJI said that they are going to provide all the required documents to Transport Canada to make the Mavic drone safe to fly over people (bystanders). Until now, Mavic drone are not allowed to fly over bystanders even if the pilot has advanced operation license and you cant get SOFC when you are using Mavic air for events unless you buy another device that you attached it to the drone ($2000)

When Is DJI going to meet Transport Canada requirements and make the Mavic drones safe to fly over bystanders?

Thanks,

Transport Canada has alteady approved DJI drones like the mavic series, phantom and even the spark  to fly over people if you are an advance operator. I think this was done early summer 2019.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

Actually, this is not true when it comes to flying OVER people.
If you check the table on the page you provided, last column “Over people” in the table does not say YES next to any of the Mavic drones.

DJI drones are approved in controlled airspace and near people but they are NOT approved over people

Any plan to provide the documents required to complete this step?

Thanks

Could you please provide an answer on whether DJI is going to take care of the requirements to meet FLY OVER PEOPLE? Currently, DJI drones are not authorized in Canada to fly over people.

I am still waiting for an answer on whether this is going to happen or not and if yes, a time line to be provided if possible.

I have Mavic Air and I am planning to buy Mavic 2 Pro For my business but if this requirement can’t be met, I will invest in some other brand that meets the requirements.

Thank you
