[QUOTE="Chrislaf, post: 94903, member: 3317"] Yes, the new rules in Canada require you to register your drones and get a pilot's licence (via an online test). I have done both and did find many of the questions on the test a bit too much like knowing the broadcast frequencies of a specific airport, but many of these types of questions can be looked up online. The upside to all of this is that many other countries have already, or are moving in the same direction, so being able to show that you are a licensed drone pilot may make it easier for you to fly in other countries. Just like my driver's licence in Ontario, allows me to drive a car in most other countries. With regard to flight logs, I use Airdata UAV to log all of my flights. You can get a free account that will log up to 100 flights for you. It also shows tonnes of other useful information as well. I just got back from a camping trip and I brought my Spark with me. Although, I did not use it as much as I had planned, I still did some flights and was glad, I did. I would have regretted not bringing it. The Spark is the perfect drone for traveling light for many reasons: •Spark with one battery and controller = very light setup •small and compact •Spark is the cheapest DJI drone so if it gets lost or stolen you are not out a ton of money •Hand launching and landing makes Spark very easy to use almost anywhere (where legally permitted) •excellent picture/video quality Hope this helps.
