Canada Gazette – Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Unmanned Aircraft Systems)

I'll be studying these over the next few days. Hope to hear you comments!

Aerobotika has an analysis page. I haven't delved into it. They're sure to have some good insights.

Thanks for sharing this Alan! Very interesting read. The first question that came to mind for me was how much do our cousin Phantoms weigh? For us MP pilots, we seem to get off pretty lightly - liability insurance and licensing being the most notable additions. I am disappointed that they seem to holding onto the 3 nm from airports. I was hoping that they would be more practical and use the US approach or a graduated NFZ. By graduated, I mean vary the max ceiling based on distance from the airport like a 'hard' NFZ for 1km off the ends of runways, 100' max within 2 km, and 200' at 3km, then the 300 max at 5km.

P4P is 1.4 Kg. I have one of those too...

1 Kg is a ridiculous division however.
