    Kelsey Ferland, my father lives in Mississauga, so I came by a few times. One time I went by the lake at Port Credit, and I saw a DJI Phantom going by. I think it's fine there since, you are over 9km from Pearson airport (12km), and also the airport at the Toronto Island (17km).

  • I'm thinking of building my first quadcopter, but the TC regulations are what's stopping me right now. I live right in the middle of Mississauga, so there's not really anywhere nearby for me to fly a drone (at least that is what I gathered from the regulations). I currently don't have a vehicle either, so I can't get out of the city to fly it. Am I basically out of luck?

  • @William FYI - if you're looking to stay compliant and make sense of all of the TC regs - a new website called www.easysfoc.com launched which takes online SFOC applications. It makes things really simple, you can start your application by filling out a form and they will compile an application for a permit and walk you through the application.

  • Ok someone help me understand these government regulations

    solo3dr and for fun but would like to take a course.

    Ive read the regs until my eyes went crossed eyed

    rule 75? 500 feet from people, animals.. doesn't that eliminate flying Canada?

  • Ok newbie here

    trying to network to other drone pilots in the Fraser valley Chilliwack, Abbotsford,langley or vancovuer

  • Yes (RPM) - I took the pilottraining.ca UAV Ground School course, and yes, it satisfies the Transport Canada requirement.

    I believe they have one (slightly cheaper) if you're only going for the two exemptions, and another more detailed if you're going for SFOCs. (I took the SFOC one).

    This is the course option I have been looking into. It is much more reasonably priced and I believe there is still no exact requirements as to which course you have to take. Just that you need completion of ground school training course.

    Here is a course I am signing up for:

    Cheers

Easy SFOC Applications

If you're struggling to make sense of TC's regulations, a new website launched that creates an application for you. Check out www.easysfoc.com. All you have to do is fill out an online form, answer the TC questions, and they will generate an application for you within 24 hours. They make sure you understand what TC expects, and what your responsibilities are. They also provide you with a full operations manual.  Screen Shot 2016-07-05 at 8.03.30 PM.png
