(3) no person shall
(a) lend a canadian aviation document to any person who not entitled to it these regulations or allow any such person to use a canadian aviation document or
(b) mutilate alter or render illegible a canadian aviation document. 4 Indicate airspace s where a pilot can use a small remotely piloted aircraft in basic operations The weather must be good enough to keep drone in sight at all times. Basic operations if you meet all 3 of these conditions you're conducting basic operations
you fly it in uncontrolled airspace you fly it more than 30 metres (100 feet) horizontally from bystanders you never fly it over bystanders
if you do not meet any 1 of these 3 conditions you are conducting advanced operations for example let's say you fly your drone more than 30 metres (100 feet) horizontally from bystanders but in controlled airspace this operation advanced because you're flying in controlled airspace even if you're more than 30 metres (100 feet) horizontally from bystanders uncontrolled airspace = class g airspace. 5 Specify a condition that pilot of a drone in advanced operations must meet in order an urban area to be overflown The drone must stay 3 meters horizontally from any people unless manufacturer has provided a safety assurance declaration. An rpas which a manufacturer makes no declaration cannot be used to conduct advanced operations referred to in section 901 69 of cars car's 901 69 manufacturer declaration permitted operations no pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft system under this division to conduct any of following operations unless a declaration under section 901 76 has been made in respect of that model of system the certificate of registration issued in respect of aircraft specifies operations which declaration was made (a) operations in controlled airspace (b) operations at a distance of less than 100 feet (30 m) but not less than 16 4 feet (5 m) from another person except from a crew member or other person involved in operation measured horizontally at any altitude or (c) operations at a distance of less than 16 4 feet (5 m) from another person measured horizontally at any altitude standard 922 rpas safety assurance. 6 Elt abbreviation means Emergency locator transmitter. 901 45 elt no pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft equipped with an elt. 7 The minimum altitude at which pilot of a small remotely piloted aircraft in advanced operations can fly over a person It forbidden to overfly people unless manufacturer has provided appropriate rpas safety assurance declaration. An rpas which a manufacturer makes no declaration cannot be used to conduct advanced operations referred to in section 901 69 of cars car's 901 69 manufacturer declaration permitted operations no pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft system under this division to conduct any of following operations unless a declaration under section 901 76 has been made in respect of that model of system the certificate of registration issued in respect of aircraft specifies operations which declaration was made (a) operations in controlled airspace (b) operations at a distance of less than 100 feet (30 m) but not less than 16 4 feet (5 m) from another person except from a crew member or other person involved in operation measured horizontally at any altitude or (c) operations at a distance of less than 16 4 feet (5 m) from another person measured horizontally at any altitude standard 922 rpas safety assurance. 8 The statement that best describes 'visual line of sight vlos ' Unaided visual contact that sufficient to keep control sufficient detecting avoid other aircraft or objects. Visual line of sight (vlos) 'visual line of sight' means keeping your device in sight at all times without visual aid (for example binoculars or video feed) this means not flying into clouds or fog or behind trees buildings or other (even partial) obstructions from car's (canadian aviation regulations) visual line of sight or vlos? means unaided visual contact at all times with a remotely piloted aircraft that sufficient to be able to maintain control of aircraft know its location be able to scan airspace in which it operating in order to perform detect avoid functions in respect of other aircraft or objects. 9 The expression that best describes a 'non controlled airport' The aerodrome circuit described in pro section of canada flight supplement. Visual line of sight (vlos) 'visual line of sight' means keeping your device in sight at all times without visual aid (for example binoculars or video feed) this means not flying into clouds or fog or behind trees buildings or other (even partial) obstructions from car's (canadian aviation regulations) visual line of sight or vlos? means unaided visual contact at all times with a remotely piloted aircraft that sufficient to be able to maintain control of aircraft know its location be able to scan airspace in which it operating in order to perform detect avoid functions in respect of other aircraft or objects. 10 Airspace classified as class c becomes class airspace when appropriate atc unit not in operation The aerodrome circuit described in pro section of canada flight supplement. From tc aim class c airspace becomes class e airspace when relevant air traffic control unit not in service. 11 The primary difference between an airport and aerodrome that Airports are aerodromes certified under subsection 3 2 3 of cars. Aerodrome or airport what's difference? the terms airport aerodrome are often used interchangeably the aviation industry legislation regulation (at least in canada) make primary use of latter for instance canadian aeronautics act defines an aerodrome as
'any area of land water (including frozen surface thereof) or other supporting surface used designed prepared equipped or set apart use either in whole or in part the arrival departure movement or servicing thereon or associated therewith '
aerodrome categories there are three different categories of aerodromes each presenting progressively different safety requirements in order of ascending safety level categories are listed below
aerodromes (small airstrips located on private property that are neither registered nor certified)
registered aerodromes and
certified aerodromes referred to as airports. 12 Subpart 1 small remotely piloted aircraft of canadian aviation regulations part ix does not apply to remotely piloted aircraft having a maximum takeoff weight mtw Airports are aerodromes certified under subsection 3 2 3 of cars. A remotely piloted aircraft having a maximum takeoff weight (mtw) less than 250 g are not subject to rules in part ix subpart 1 of canadian aviation regulations. 13 A manufacturer that has made a safety assurance declaration to minister a remotely piloted aircraft system shall make available to each owner of that model An operator's manual with measures to ensure safe use of that model. 901 78 documentation a manufacturer that has made a declaration to minister in respect of a model of remotely piloted aircraft system under section 901 76 shall make available to each owner of that model of system (a) a maintenance program that includes (i) instructions related to servicing maintenance of system (ii) an inspection program to maintain system readiness (b) any mandatory actions manufacturer issues in respect of system (c) a remotely piloted aircraft system operating manual that includes (i) a description of system (ii) ranges of weights centres of gravity within which system may be safely operated under normal emergency conditions and if a weight centre of gravity combination considered safe only within certain loading limits those limits the corresponding weight centre of gravity combinations (iii) with respect to each flight phase mode of operation minimum maximum altitudes velocities within which aircraft can be operated safely under normal emergency conditions (iv) a description of effects of foreseeable weather conditions or other environmental conditions on performance of both system the pilot (v) characteristics of system that could result in severe injury to crew members during normal operations (vi) design features of system their associated operations that are intended to protect against injury to persons not involved in operations (vii) warning information provided to pilot in event of a degradation in system performance that results in an unsafe system operation condition (viii) procedures operating system in normal emergency conditions (ix) assembly adjustment instructions the system. 14 The pilot of a small remotely piloted aircraft at or near an aerodrome must Avoid established traffic pattern followed manned aircraft. Cars 901 47 operations at or in vicinity of an aerodrome airport or heliport no pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft at or near an aerodrome that listed in canada flight supplement or water aerodrome supplement in a manner that could interfere with an aircraft operating in established traffic pattern. 15 The term 'drone' refers To any type of remotely piloted aircraft system (rpas). In part ix of canadian aviation regulations term 'remotely piloted aircraft system used to align with all international partners. 16 Bystander refers to Anyone that not directly associated with operating drone among others this excludes pilot crew. In part ix of canadian aviation regulations term 'remotely piloted aircraft system used to align with all international partners. 17 Flight of a small rpa over persons under advanced operations structure Strictly prohibited unless it has a defined rpas safety assurance declaration from manufacturer appropriate to your operation. An rpas which a manufacturer makes no declaration cannot be used to conduct advanced operations referred to in section 901 69 of cars car's 901 69 manufacturer declaration permitted operations no pilot shall operate a remotely piloted aircraft system under this division to conduct any of following operations unless a declaration under section 901 76 has been made in respect of that model of system the certificate of registration issued in respect of aircraft specifies operations which declaration was made (a) operations in controlled airspace (b) operations at a distance of less than 100 feet (30 m) but not less than 16 4 feet (5 m) from another person except from a crew member or other person involved in operation measured horizontally at any altitude or (c) operations at a distance of less than 16 4 feet (5 m) from another person measured horizontally at any altitude standard 922 rpas safety assurance. 18 What the document in which you will find information about nav canada's air traffic services The aeronautical information manual (aim).
