Register your drone and manage registration on Canada.ca/drone-safety. It only takes a few minutes and $5 to register your drone. You will need:
– The purchase date of your drone
– The make, model, serial number, weight, and type of drone
– Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Interac card
After registering online, you will receive a registration number which must be promptly marked and clearly visible on your drone; permanent marker, label or engraving will suffice.
If you lose your drone, registration may help in returning it to you if it is found. By registering your drone, you comply with Canada Transport laws and avoid fines from $1000 to $5000.
FlySmart Training’s Advanced Course imparts knowledge on the regulations governing drone flight in Canada, supplemented by industry insights from instructors with knowledge in many fields of RPAS operations. The course is accessible through FlySmart Training’s Website.
The ROC-A study guide is available on the Government of Canada’s website for free. Students must take the exam after studying. Expect written, practical or oral exercises from your instructor, who you must book an exam with.
Upon successful completion of the Advanced Course, you’re eligible to schedule your Flight Review with a FlySmart reviewer. This service is available across Canada. Once you successfully pass the Flight Review, you will receive your full Advanced Drone License from Transport Canada. This will allow you to conduct both basic and advanced RPAS operations within Canada. Advanced operations can include flying in controlled airspaces and flying near or over people.
An SFOC gives you permission to operate your drone outside the rules for a specific purpose. This certificate is mandatory if your mission includes aspects that are non-standard of a basic or advanced operation. You will need an SFOC-RPAS certificate if you want to fly your drone beyond the rules for basic or advanced operations.
For usual Sky Drones customers this could include flying a drone weighing over 25 kg, flying beyond visual line-of-sight, flying above 122 meters (400 ft), and for spraying or spreading drone operations. There are also many other reasons to obtain an SFOC which can be found here on Transport Canada’s website. Contact FlySmart for any further questions regarding SFOCs.
