This type of drone is very light and compact, making it the ideal partner for hiking and travel. However, because of its small mass, the micro RPA is more unstable in windy conditions, and its camera is less powerful than heavier drones.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-35480-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-35480-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-35480-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div class=\"textwidget\"><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>In Canada, do I need a license to fly a drone weighing less than 250 g ?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Canada, you don't need a license to fly a drone weighing less than 250 grams. However, if you add weight to a drone and its take-off weight reaches 250 grams or more, it will be subject to <a href=\"#2\">small RPA regulations (250 g \u2264 weight \u2264 25 kg)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The micro RPA pilot must still follow certain rules.<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">First, as mentioned in article 900.06 of the CARs, a pilot must ensure that he does not operate their drone in a reckless or negligent manner as to endanger or be likely to endanger aviation safety or the safety of any person. This section of the CARs applies to all drone categories, including micro RPAs. A pilot found guilty of compromising air safety or the safety of persons on the ground is liable to a fine of $1,000 as an individual and\/or $5,000 as a corporation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order for a micro RPA pilot to comply with CAR 900.06, Transport Canada recommends following these general rules\u00a0:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Maintain the micro RPA in direct line of sight.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid flying your micro RPA above 400 ft above ground level (AGL).<\/li>\n<li>Keep a safe lateral distance between your micro RPA and other people.<\/li>\n<li>Stay far away from aerodromes, water aerodromes, and heliports.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid flying near critical infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>Stay clear of aircraft at all times.<\/li>\n<li>Conduct a pre-flight inspection of your micro RPA.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the micro RPA close enough to maintain the connection with the remote controller.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the manufacturer\u2019s operational guidelines.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid special aviation or advertised events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Secondly, micro RPA pilots must comply with sections 900.07 and 900.08 of the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>900.07<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A person who operates a remotely piloted aircraft shall ensure that the appropriate air traffic control unit, flight service station or user agency is notified immediately any time the aircraft is no longer under the person\u2019s control and inadvertently enters or is likely to enter into Class F Special Use Restricted airspace, as specified in the <cite>Designated Airspace Handbook<\/cite>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>900.08 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>(1)<\/strong> No person shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft over or within the security perimeter established by a public authority in response to an emergency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>(2)<\/strong> Subsection (1) does not apply to the operation of a remotely piloted aircraft for the purpose of an operation to save human life, a police operation, a fire-fighting operation or any other operation that is conducted in the service of a public authority.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thirdly, Micro RPAs are prohibited from entering the following zones without proper authorization :<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Class F special-use restricted airspace (CYR);<\/li>\n<li>airspace over a forest fire area or over any area that is located within 5 NM of a forest fire area, or any airspace for which a NOTAM for forest fire aircraft operating restrictions has been issued; and<\/li>\n<li>zones in which section 5.1 of the Aeronautics Act restricts the use of airspace for all aircraft.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To find out where micro RPAs are prohibited, please refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/map.navdrone.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NAV Drone Viewer<\/a> tool.

This type of drone is very popular, both for recreational and commercial use. Indeed, this weight range enables drone manufacturers to integrate payloads such as high-performance cameras, thermal cameras, Lidar sensors and more.

Drones weighing less than 250 g can be operated without a certificate, as long as specific safety rules are observed. Drones weighing between 250 g and 25 kg require a pilot certificate, which is available for basic, advanced, or level 1 complex operations depending on the type of activity. For drones between 25 kg and 150 kg, an advanced or level 1 complex certificate is required, with the choice depending on the nature of the operations. Drones over 150 kg require a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC). Foreign pilots must also comply with Canadian requirements. Failure to follow these rules can result in significant fines for individuals and businesses. It is therefore essential to fully understand and adhere to the regulations to ensure safe and compliant drone operations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction The use of aircraft in Canadian airspace is regulated by Transport Canada.
