THE SUB-250G CATEGORY OF DRONE OPERATIONS OFFERS A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY

Fly Safely – Fly Confidently – Fly Legally.

It’s true, a drone weighing under 250g does not require the operator to have a pilot certification. However, there is one rule that still applies!

CAR 900.06 Applies to all remotely piloted aircraft, and basically says: “do not fly your aircraft in a manner which could cause a hazard to people in the air or on the ground.”

This course breaks down everything you need to know when flying your new Mavic Mini, Mini 2, Mini SE, Mini 3Pro, Autel Nano, or any other sub-250g drone.

Fly for Fun or for Work

Thats right! Your new sub-250g micro drone can be flown for fun AND for work.

This course will give you the knowledge and tools needed to fly without breaking any rules!

When your neighbour comes out of their house for the third time to say “STOP FLYING!”, you will have all the knowledge you need to politely explain why your drone flight is legal and perfectly safe.

Note: If you plan on flying a drone which weighs more than 250g (this includes the mini with prop guards), check out our basic pilot certification courses.

Coastal Drone’s Basic Operator course gave me all that I needed to challenge and pass Transport Canada’s certification test. It was quick, easy to access and most importantly, a fun way to learn a new skill! I highly recommend Coastal Drone if you want to learn a new skill and be able to legally and effectively use a drone for enjoyment or commerce!

FAQS

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need certification?

Since June 1, 2019, anyone flying a drone outside in Canada which weighs more than 250g will require a pilot certification, regardless if the purpose of the flight is for fun or work. There are two types of pilot certifications – Basic and Advanced. The type of certitication you require depends on where you want to fly, and how close to bystanders.

What happens if I fly without certification?

Flying without a pilot certification can lead to hefty fines. Individuals caught flying without a license can face fines of up to $3000 for their first offence. For organizations, those fines can go up to $15,000! Worst case scenario is being charged with a criminal offence.

What kind of certification do I need?

There are two types of pilot certifications in Canada – Basic and Advanced.

1) BASIC is for flying in un-controlled airspace (far away from airports), and further than 30m from bystanders.

2) ADVANCED is for flying in controlled airspace (close to airports, and populous areas), and closer than 30m from bystanders.

If you are going to be flying frequently or for work, we recommend getting an Advanced certification. The Advanced certification gives the pilot the most freedom to operate

How hard are the Transport Canada pilot exams?

They are no joke! Transport Canada has some tricky questions in there, and it can get overwhelming. Taking our Exam Prep course is a great way to get yourself ready and confident to pass.

What is an RPAS?

RPAS stands for Remotely Piloted Aircraft System. It’s the technical term for “drone” and it is the official government term you will see in any laws or regulations related to drones. Previously, Transport Canada referred to these aircraft as UAV so many provincial and municipal bylaws will still reference drones this way, but it means the same thing.

What are the restrictions for drones that weigh 249g or less?
