App for airspace restrictions in Canada?

[Marty Markoe]

Use B4UFLY and AirMap in US. What app is best for Canada?

AirMap covers Canada as well.

There's also Nav Drone by Nav Canada, but I don't know how well it works, or if it's anything like AirMap, Aloft (formerly Kittyhawk), etc.

The free version of Uav forecast will work if you click maps .

Hope this helps and Nav Drone is much like Aloft in the US.

Drone Laws helpful. Even though Part 107 certified, was planning on purchasing a Mini 3 to comply with under 250 gram regulation. We are visiting Hopewell Rocks (National Park) and now see in regulations:
"Anyone caught operating a drone within park boundaries and without an approved permit may result in law enforcement action and a fine of up to $25,000."
With the recession, $25,000 (even in Canadian) is enough to discourage one flying a drone there. Will bring a tripod for digital camera instead.
Thanks.

Sounds more like land use ordinance than airspace rules (ie : operating within as opposed to flying over but operating outside the borders).

Also the 107 certification is a US thing, not Canada, unless they use the exact same rule number on their books for their version of commercial drone flying.

I use Drone Pilot Canada to plan and log flights:

There is a free map resource from the NRC:

Here is the best place to start for regulations:

One thing to note is that if your drone is 250 g or heavier you must have a remote pilot certificate. (You might be able to fly with a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) if you don't have a license — not certain about that — but those take a while to get approved.) Alternately, fly a micro drone (sub-250 g) to avoid that issue.
