Purchase the CFS or no?

[IslandOffset]

I am getting our company set up with our first serious drone. We got a DJI M350 with the L2 lidar attachment.

I'm working through the material to prep for the RPAS Advanced exam, as well as gathering info for our SOP and SWP, and generally getting us ready.

I'm curious - how many of you guys purchase a CFS? I haven't seen a clear sentiment one way or the other. I personally think, better to be safe than sorry, but I have seen it mentioned that you can 'get through the exam' with just a few pages (like map legends), and I don't forsee us actually interacting airports or aerodromes. We will mostly be flying around woodland areas and resource roads. I don't want to recommend a purchase/cost to my managers and then never use it.

Thanks!

Hopefully this helps, but CFS are free on FltPlan.com | Flight Planning & Filing
Log in and goto Airport / FBO and enter the Airport code. Eg CYVR then scroll down to CFS

This is not the first time ,I crashed my Air 3s into Lake Shawnee in Western Pa ,I was running from two large water birds near a bridge with poer lines running along side ,so I punched the UP stick to avoid birds in doing so I hit a power line then promply went down into a 30 foot channel ,I contcted DJI and with the DJI CARE FRESH PROGRAM they promply sent me a new replacement that came in the mail today for a nominal fee along with a battery a full set of props and a DJI ball cap .when it was all said and done subtracting the price of battery and props the drone it self cost all of $ 50 bucks .It don't get much better than that

By CFS I meant the Canada Flight Supplement. I didn't know about DJI Care Refresh though, thanks!
