I'm Canadian and have passed the Basic certification and I also fly in the US and the TRUST test is not comparable to the Basic exam. From talking to a lot of people in the US the Basic is very close to the 107 in the US. I have the TRUST certificate and that test was set so it's impossible to fail but the Basic is very difficult. I have both sub 250 gram and over 250 gram drones and fly as safely as I can. My drones are also registered with the FAA. I only fly recreationally so no big issues.
Good info thanks for sharing
No problem 👍
I'm living on Canada Vancouver area do i need to get a license to fly my DJI mini 2 in Downtown area? since i can't find any information on internet. It only states you can't fly in public parks and also states you will need a license in order to fly in crowded area like downtown.
You don't need a pilot certificate to operate a drone weighing under 250 grams. Check out this infographic: tc.canada.ca/sites/default/files/2020-06/2019-2020-AA-33_INFOGRAPHIC_EN_V8.pdf
Great vid guys! So I'm kinda new to the drone community (purchased a Mini 3 Pro not a while ago). And I was looking to make some money (areal real estate photography) with it here in Ontario. Just to be completely sure, would I need only my Basic Operations certificate, or my Advanced one too?
You don't need any Pilot Certification to fly a
@@CANDRONE I understand, but I heard that I need one to make money with it. Is that true?
@@Simulate1NinetyNine There is no distinction between recreational or business usage in Canada.
@@CANDRONE Oh ok, that’s great to hear! Thanks for the help!
@@Simulate1NinetyNine been looking for this exact answer too. thanks.
Hey guys! I just found this video while doing a little drone browsing. I’m a hobby photographer and was debating on getting a drone for photography/video, would I just need the Trust in the US if I’m only doing it for personal photography I’m guessing?
Yes. If you only intend on taking photos and videos with your drone for hobby and do not intend on earning money from the multimedia you capture with it or otherwise use it for, all you need is the TRUST certificate.
Drones greater than or equal to 250g in weight still need to be registered even if the use case is recreational. Anything under 250g is not required to be registered while under TRUST certification operation.
Hey, I’m from England UK and trying to find out what is needed to fly a mini 3 in Canada and also an fpv drone that is just under 1kg with battery and GoPro.
Hopefully in national parks too if possible? Thanks
Foreign drone pilots or operators do not need special permission for fly drones under 250 g. You still need to follow all safety guidelines for micro drones (under 250 g). In Canada, nobody can fly ANY DRONE (even if its sub 250g) in a national park without permission from the park superintendent. parks.canada.ca/voyage-travel/regles-rules/drones
@@CANDRONE thank you. And what about flying an fpv drone over 250g?
@@Jonners You will need to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate as a foreign operator: tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/drone-safety/drone-pilot-licensing/get-permission-special-drone-operations/get-permission-fly-drone-foreign-pilot-operator
@@CANDRONE thank you. I want to do it all by the book so thanks for your help with the link
flying in Canada with an fpv drone I fly with goggles would I need my advanced or can I stick with the basic? would I be VLOS if I fly where I know I would be able to see the drone or would I be BVLOS? And if I fly for money would I still have to follow the 100ft rule even if they are the shot?
If your FPV drone is over 250 grams and you are flying in controlled airspace, you will need your Advanced with authorization from Nav Canada. You will need to have a visual observer while flying FPV to keep an eye on the drone.
There is no distinction between commercial (getting paid) or recreational flying in Canada. You must follow the rules according to your pilot certificate.
The 100 feet rule is for bystanders not involved in your operation. If they are part of the shot and know what you are doing they would be involved.
So I have a big problem with the foreign pilots having to go thru the same process as domestic pilots because if im a US pilot 🧑✈️ that wants to fly in canada 🇨🇦 why cant my license be recognized there and take some additional training online so that im familiar with the rules as well as airspace there? We US pilots go thru hoops just get our license 🪪 for us to essentially go thru the same process again like we’ve never flown before? Really frustrating
As drone regulations evolve, we hope the government will streamline the process both ways.
@@CANDRONE😂 who responds like that
So basically in Canada... After you get your basic exam.. You can use it for fun or to make money out of it? I am Canadian by the way.
Yes. There is no distinction between commercial and recreational drone usage in Canada. As long as you follow the regulations on your Basic certificate.
@@CANDRONE Cool Thanks. I have in mind to buy a DJI mini 4 pro. At first I wanted to buy the sub 250g battery. But since the exam is only 10 bucks I have now decided to buy the +batteries. So I will do my exam. My question is. Since my drone will be over 250g. Where I will fly my drone, there is nothing on the Canadian drone map where I can't fly... Meaning there is just wood basically. So the question is.. Do I need to tell or call someone before I fly or is there anything else that I need to do before I fly it? I know I have to register it... But not sure if I need to do anything else. Thanks
@@crushit9576 It sounds like you are flying in uncontrolled airspace so you don't need to request authorization from Nav Canada (if you were flying in controlled airspace you would need your Advanced certificate).
We recommend that you download and use the NavDrone app to check the airspace and manage your drone operations.
Other than that stay vigilant for other aircraft that may be in the area and keep it within visual line of site.
One more thing to consider is provincial/national parks have their own regulations regarding drone operations. I believe most national parks ban any drone operations. You'll need to check with yours.@@crushit9576
@@CANDRONE Thanks a lot. I already checked on the map. Their is nothing on the map at all.. No airports no hospitals no nothing LOL And I just finished talking to DJI itself and they told me that as soon as I put in the + batteries that my drone is automatically monitored, and won't let me fly if I am in a controlled airspace. That I didn't know. Thanks a lot man.. You just got a new sub. :)
