DJI Meets Transport Canada Requirements for Flights Near People

[Harrison443]

DJI Customers May Fly Nine Popular Models Near People And In Controlled Airspace

DJI...is pleased to declare that nine of its models meet the new Transport Canada requirements taking effect June 1 for drone flight within 30 meters (100 feet) of people.

Two out of three, and one step closer to meeting all of the advanced operations requirements in Canada. Hopefully they'll re-visit this NAV Canada process for having to pre-authorize all flights in controlled airspace.

Excellent news. Thanks for the report.

I just got two emails from Transport Canada, one for each registered drone (Phantom 4 and Mavic 2). I expect it's new registration certificates (can't log in until I get home).

I have a registered MPP, so-far no email from the feds. I will keep looking. The Transport Canada published list shows the DJI Mavic Pro as approved for some Advanced Operations but not the Mavic Pro Platinum.

Got home and was able to check my Transport Canada account. Both the Phantom 4 and Mavic 2 Pro are now authorized for use between 5m and 30m from people.

I checked my TC Account and my registered MPP is still not listed as ‘approved’. I think I will email TC and politely ask why not. They list the Mavic Professional but not the Mavic Professional Platinum. No big deal, as I do not plan on flying my MPP in controlled airspace (Class A-F) anytime soon.

Wonder if they will ever be approved for the third one.... Very few seem to meet that requirement. Fingers crossed.

Which I honestly find ridiculous as DJI Mavic Pro Platinum is a little bit more advanced than Mavic Pro. I sent an email to Transport Canada and DJI. I will keep you posted once they respond.

A colleague and I are having the same issue with the Platinum edition of the Mavic Pro (i.e. SAFE Assurances not showing up on CofR). Did you get a response yet from Transport and/or DJI? I've got emails in as of yesterday but so far nothing.
