Update: Response from Civil Aviation Safety Inspector - Flight Operations (Transport Canada) was that as long as all due diligence is tried in contacting the heliport operator and all other criteria met including all required safety protocols, the intent of the regulation is met in this...

This is posted in the Canada forum, thought it was obvious, but maybe it shows up somewhere else as well... According to NAV drone Canada (this is the organization that makes the drone app which needs to be used to fly in controlled airspace in Canada) I need to contact the regulator which in...

Interesting. Thanks.

This doesn't help in my case when the person in charge of the helipad doesn't respond or get back to me as per my original post. To me it seems the hospital in unwilling to corporate, I think they might think they can deny permission when in fact they legally can not and should be co-ordinating...

This doesn't help in my case when the person in charge of the helipad doesn't respond or get back to me as per my original post. To me it seems the hospital in unwilling to corporate, I think they might think they can deny permission when in fact they legally can not. Thanks anyway.

Yeah seems I will need to contact NAV Canada with this problem. I doubt anyone on this forum (Canadian) has had this issue. Thanks.

It's not in controlled airspace. The regulations just say "co-ordinate flight with heliport" and as far as I know it's not restricted airspace, unless for example it's a military heliport which it's not. Yes it's for a job. The procedure for controlled airspace is quite simple actually using a...

Air Traffic Controller for the hospital helipad? That doesn't exists. Assuming you mean any nearby ATC? This is not required when flying near a Heliport, there also isn't an ATC anywhere near by so it would be pointless and if there was they don't want to hear from drone pilots unless it's an...

I recently had a strange occurrence where I was unable to get a hold off the person in charge of a heliport at a hospital. I talked to several people at the hospital such as security, maintenance etc and no one was able to give me the correct contact info. I finally after about 1 hour was able...

Yes I have an advanced pilot license. (Not the question)

Thanks.

Using the App to get permission to fly in airspace that is both Class C and within a heliport. It's asking me for the "Minutes" as per attached photo. What minutes are they referring to? Planned flight time and how long it will take for me to get back to home point? Also, Drone Pilot app says...

Great, thanks for the info, i will look into this further. This would solve my issue if I can pay monthly.

I emailed my drone instructor and her recommended skywatch.ai. They sell insurance by the flight/month/annually. And you can send flight logs for a discount. For those looking at this post at some later point....

Thanks, but this is for Canada as well?
