Heads up Canadian Pilots!!

[Northern Bob]

I have posted a link to a Drone News article in sUAV Rules & Regulations dealing with acceptable drone models flying under the Advanced Drone Pilot Certification.

Essentially, DJI has finally submitted the proper paperwork to get most of their models certified under the new Drone rules coming into effect this June 1st.

Our Spark made the list! (Sorry Tello owners). Even more incentive to take the Advanced exam.

The appropriate Transport Canada page has not yet been updated but should be before June 1st.

Is Tello off the list because it's below some weight limit?

Or do you think it's because the Tello is made by Ryze Robotics and not actually a DJI product?

 

[Northern Bob]

Your guess is as good as mine. I suspect it may be as you say, the Tello is not made by DJI.

The certification will be necessary for drones
of 250gr up to 25kg(55 pounds !)
There's the press release from DJI about their
arrangement with Transport Canada for Avanced
Operation

DJI Drones Comply With New Transport Canada Requirements For Advanced Operations - DJI

DJI Customers Can Continue Using Drones In Controlled Airspace Without Interruption

NB

The Tello only weighs 80 grams (including battery) - so it is exempt from the regulations - regardless of the manufacturer.

It certainly gives me incentive to sell my Spark as of June 1st thats for sure.
