As many of you know, UAVs (or as they will soon be known, RPAS) are flown commerically in Canada under permission from Transport Canada via a permit called an Standing Flight Operations Certificate or SFOC.<\/p>\n
For the past several years, ckmmphoto has applied for and received Complex Standing SFOCs, that allow us to fly commerically in a wide range of places, with a number of requirements, for example, that we follow our processes for Site Surveys, we co-ordinate with NavCan, we have appropriate liability insurance and so on. These are usually valid for one year.<\/p>\n
In the past, we’ve restricted our flying to Ontario locations, but as our current SFOC was expirying, we applied for a renewal and expanded our application to all of Canada. It has been a busy year for us and we are looking at expansion beyond our current boundaries!<\/p>\n
Today, after sending our application in over a month ago, we were issued our new SFOC, a National for all of Canada.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThis means that we can now service clients from Coast to Coast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was all possible with the assistance of the whole team here at ckmmphoto, as well as invaluable assistance from our inspectors at Transport Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onto the next project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
