Transport Canada Certified — Not a Hobbyist
I hold a Transport Canada RPAS Basic Pilot Certificate and carry full commercial liability insurance. Every commercial drone flight requires proper certification and insurance — a hobbyist drone without these creates liability exposure for the property owner or organizer that hired them. I assess airspace for every location, file authorization in advance for controlled zones, and advise clearly when a location cannot be safely or legally flown.

Compliance and Airspace
All drone operations in Canada are regulated by Transport Canada under the Aeronautics Act. Commercial drone work requires a valid RPAS pilot certificate, appropriate aircraft registration, and in many areas, advance authorization to fly.
Greater Vancouver includes multiple controlled airspace zones near YVR, Vancouver Harbour, and hospital heliports. I assess every location before booking, file the necessary authorization where required, and advise clients on locations that are not flyable under current regulations.
Drone flights are always subject to weather conditions. If conditions on the day of the shoot are unsuitable for safe flight, I will advise and reschedule aerial components.
