Regulations
The FAA continues enforcement of the Remote ID rule for all drones required to be registered. Confirm your aircraft has a Standard Remote ID or an attached broadcast module before every commercial flight.
Transport Canada published proposed amendments introducing tiered complex operations for RPAS. Advanced operations pilots and enterprise fleets should review the certification impacts.
Remote pilots must complete the online recurrent training course every 24 calendar months to remain current under Part 107. Track your last completion date to avoid grounding your commercial operation.
Pilots operating in Advanced Operations must maintain recency by completing a recurrent activity within the previous 24 months. Track flight reviews and manufacturer training records.
Expect frequent temporary flight restrictions over active wildfire zones during summer months. Always check NAV Drone before every flight, especially for BC and Alberta operations.
The proposed Part 108 rule for beyond visual line of sight operations continues review. Commercial operators planning inspections and long-linear surveys should watch for the notice of proposed rulemaking.
