Drone Flying in Vancouver? KNOW the RULES in 2024! - Live Site Survey

This week, we walk through a site survey for an advanced mock scenario in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, using NAV Drone, to determine what's required to be in compliance with CARS 901.27.

The scenario is to fly around a small sailboat, capturing some cinematic images. Join Ian, Finn, and Jenn as they discuss the logistics and considerations of planning for an Advanced RPAS operation in Controlled Airspace.

Stay tuned to the end for a bit of an audience discussion about other flight planning tools such as RPAS Wilco, and Drone Pilot Canada.
