So, with the new Transport Canada regulations in effect, I'm shopping around for ideas of places to fly now. I've previously used Mer Bleue Bog (as you can see from further up in this post), and that continues to look OK, so long as I stay the requisite distance from other people. Until the weather improves, though, well, it's not all that interesting for aerial photography. Gatineau Park is a
maybe - you can't take off/land in the park, but can fly over it (in the unrestricted/uncontrolled areas). The challenge is finding a suitable/accessible/legal take-off point. I also came across some possibilities along the
Rideau Trail that might be scenic. There appears to be the
tiniest sliver of legal flight zone along the Ottawa River: between
45.361352°, -75.874012°, and
45.361411°, -75.866752° along Greenbelt Trail 10.
What makes me uncomfortable is that most of these spots rely on the NCC. As far as I've been able to find, NCC has not banned drones (yet).
Does anyone else have any other ideas or suggestions?
