There are fewer differences and I think a few misunderstandings on some of the rules.
I'm not sure what a "CAR" is in Canada.
"Trust" is something new that hasn't been implemented as a requirement yet. IMO it will be one of those things that won't even be looked at much if at all when it becomes "required". It's as much a training aid as it is a test. I did it in the car in 15 minutes traveling on vacation (no, I was not driving:0) . The slow part was trying to maintain internet access on the road.
[In Canada]
"Able to fly in class C,D or E airspace with a sub 250g drone."... You're telling me that you don't need any type of authorization to fly in Class C D or E airspace with a
Mini 1/2? I find that difficult to believe as DJI has some serious geofencing around C and D airports (and some E's). But any pilot can fly in C,D and E airspace without a Part 107 IF you get authorization (LAANC) and go through whatever unlocking DJI requires. I would imagine that geofencing is as tough in Canada as in the US. I often get authorization without declaring Part 107 when I'm flying recreationally.
There is no differentiation between sub 250g drones and larger drones up to 55 pounds as weight classes go- AS LONG AS THEY ARE *REGISTERED*. Put two strobes on a Mini and you're over. Even with a naked Mini it makes no sense not to at least register it so you never have to worry if you ever want to throw accessories on it. You do it once online and pay your $5 and then there is virtually no distinction. I fly my
Mini 2 or
Mavic 2 as I think the conditions warrant without regard to the weight.
Strobes? Any decent strobe will fulfill the night flight requirement. I almost ALWAYS fly with strobes, even during the day. Really a non issue IMO. It would be stupid to fly at night without a strobe as you'd violate VLOS almost immediately without them.
Yeah... Remote ID is coming, but not for some time. Personally I think it's going to create more issues than it will solve. JMO.
