New Drone Rules Coming For Canada

Drones have become a hot topic these days and cities, companies, organizations are deploying it for various purposes. Companies like real estate agencies, wedding photographers, and farmers are using drones, commercially.

With the growing use of drones, a major concern also rises. For the safe and secure flights in Canada, the state has come up with new drone rules. Earlier the rules included, drones weighing more than 250 gms, would operate 9 km away from airports, no more than 90-meter altitude, no more than 500 meters from the operator and should remain within the sight.

Now, new Transport Canada rules are being proposed that includes dividing drones into weight classes and permits and liability insurance for heavier drones. The drones would be marked with owner names and contact information. The distance from the airport would be reduced to 5.5km and it’s not to be operated in city parks. With the changes in the regulations, more drone courses could also be seen.
