Edit: Thanks, everyone, for the friendly welcome!
Hello,
I am a new drone pilot based in Hamilton, Canada. I am not newly-licenced, I have held my Transport Canada Basic RPAS Pilot certificate since June 2019, when the regulations came out and the drone rules were overhauled. Other than my son's toy drone, I have not flown too much but recently decided to help my girlfriend with her photography business by investing in a DJI Air 2S and DJI Mini SE. My interest is in doing real estate/weddings & events/portrait video/stock video and some specialized commercial video.
I have passed the Advanced RPAS pilot test and am now planning to build up some flight time and get some experience, while also learning aerial cinematography, and plan to do the Flight Review by the end of the summer, which will then have me fully licenced as an Advanced RPAS pilot. I have a ROC-M (marine radio licence) and could confidently try for the ROC-A (air version), although a radio operator certificate is not required for even advanced drone flight at the moment here.
Thank you for having this community and I hope to contribute meaningfully, but for now I will probably spend most of my time lurking and learning.
Cheers!
