First off, i'll apologize if there's been a thread started on this recently but the transitiob to the new forum software has rendered the searches somewhat useless for the time being.
Anyhow, Transport Canada updated their recreational drone usage rules in April, 2017 and they are as follows...
Do not fly your drone
- higher than 90 m above the ground
- closer than 75 m from buildings, vehicles, vessels, animals, people/crowds
- closer than nine km from the centre of an aerodrome (any airport, heliport, seaplane base or anywhere that aircraft take-off and land)
- within controlled or restricted airspace
- within nine km of a forest fire
- where it could interfere with police or first responders
- at night or in clouds
- if you can’t keep it in sight at all times
- if you are not within 500 m of your drone
- if your name, address, and telephone number are not clearly marked on your drone.
Bullet 2 pretty much kills it for most recreational users and I wonder how many recreational users follow the last bullet.
