Aspiring professional UAV/RC Pilots
I've noticed alot of discussion with people wanting to make some cash using camera platforms. I admit, it is a very luring proposition. How great would it be to have your own buisness, or just the odd photo/video assignment to help pay the toys!
I read these discussions, along with reports of RC aircraft in the vicinity or airports, and I feel compelled to write a bit of a wake up call statement. There is alot of speculation and vague facts about the regulations, requirements, and who governs it all. Here are the facts in a nutshell: - The Aeronautics Act is the backbone of aviation law. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/acts-regulat...s-1985ca-2.htm - The Canadian Aviation Regulations (Referred to as CARs in the industry), is the set or rules and regulations followed for civil aviation here in Canada, and is governed by Transport Canada.....not NavCanada. If it flies, the rules to operate in Canada are defined here. http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviatio.../cars/menu.htm Now you might say:" Well.... obviously this only applies to real aircraft, not model aircraft" You would be wrong..... CAR 602.45 states: Quote:

Here is a link to the document: http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviatio...1-972.htm#e4-1 So for all of you who think that model flying is something to be taken for granted, and without a proper level of safety maintained, know that there is regulatory framework in place. We are all flying under the radar, figuratively and literally. However, all it will take is ONE incident, and we will have shifted the regulatory gaze over our great hobby. Be safe, have fun, and use common sense

Re: Aspiring professional UAV/RC Pilots
News release from ING Robotic Aviation:
ING Robotic Aviation, Canada’s leader in unmanned aircraft system solutions, is pleased to announce it will be partnering with Canadore College this June to offer the first UAV program in Ontario. This demonstrates leadership not only in Canada but also internationally. UAVs, or unmanned aerial vehicles, are aircraft without a human pilot on board. Flight is controlled either autonomously by computers in the vehicle, or under the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. They are proving to have a wide range of applications, especially given their greatly reduced footprint (in terms of cost, safety and environment) when compared to many roles currently performed by helicopters and conventional aircraft. Since their effective use for surveillance in Canadian military operations, robotic aircraft in Canada are proving to be able to provide numerous opportunities across the economy. This is the next stage in Canada’s history of leadership in aviation. Key uses of UAVs now include aerial surveillance and monitoring in the oil and gas, geomatics, mining and utilities sectors. “Unmanned aerial vehicles play an increasing role in the future of the aviation industry,” states George Burton, President of Canadore College. “These systems are being used around the world for everything from mapping and surveying work to agriculture and communications.” “It’s all about getting the right information into the right hands, in a timely manner” states ING Robotic Aviation’s founder and CEO, Ian Glenn. “Unmanned aircraft, combined with relevant sensors and systems, represents a great technology as it allows managers in many sectors access to actionable data that they might otherwise not have been able to afford, or maybe not even be able to acquire at all.” Over the past 10 years, ING has demonstrated unprecedented leadership in the field of robotic aviation. With over 200 companies in the industry, ING Robotic Aviation is one of the largest and most experienced. The company has over 30,000 hours of experience where most of the competition in this field only describes their experience in hundreds of hours. ING Robotic Aviation understands that great technology comes from great people. The company is privileged to work with a practical and innovative institution like Canadore College on this initiative. This collaboration between ING and Canadore hopes to rebuild Canada’s lead in aviation, create high tech jobs and foster northern development.

Re: Aspiring professional UAV/RC Pilots
I agree, David. I think that westcoaster is thinking that this is RC Universe or RC Groups. However, it being RC Canada, it in itself means that this has a Canadian perspective.
For those that don't remember their Civics lessons (or never had them).... "Act" means (as in the use of the term "Aeronautics Act") that the related document is a piece of legislation, passed by a suitable legislative assembly, and authorized into law by the appropriate Queen's representative. With it being law, the act (as in Aeronautics Act) defines its scope, the items that are or are not covered, as well as the consequences of not following the act (fines or jail time or both). Sorry about the lecture for those who remember their Civics lessons.... |

Re: Aspiring professional UAV/RC Pilots
Did anyone else notice a couple of the academy awards given out last night?
An academy plaque was given for this: http://www.flying-cam.com/aerial_robotics_engineering/ Or these guys who won an academy certificate for their aerial R/C filming? http://www.hovercam.com/About_Us.html On this one, the heli shown still had an Align tail boom... Tom
