[QUOTE="Dave A, post: 28305, member: 5933"] Here in Canada we have new drone flying rules coming sometime this year. The government has posted their proposed rules on the Transport Canada site. No actual date yet. [U]Proposed rules Very small drone more than 250 g to 1 kg [/U] (Spark 300g) Most recreational users will fit into this category. The rules that apply are easy to understand and follow. Pilots must be 14 years old or older and will be required to: [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/proposed-rules-drones-canada.html#marking']mark their device[/URL] with their name and contact information; [*]pass a [URL='https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/proposed-rules-drones-canada.html#knowledge']basic knowledge test[/URL]; [*]have [URL='https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/opssvs/proposed-rules-drones-canada.html#liability']liability insurance[/URL] (100,000); and [*]fly at least: [LIST] [*]5.5 km from airports [*]1.85 km from heliports [*]30 m from people [/LIST] [/LIST] I think most people will already have the liability insurance as part of their home policy. The rest seems reasonable to me, although I hope that once the final more detailed rules are released that pilots under 14 will be able to fly in this category under the supervision of an adult.
