All of our commercial flights are site inspected by our professional pilots and SFOC licensed by Transport Canada when required. The permit process generally takes between 4 - 8 weeks to be completed. Any aerial filming or photography captured using a drone or aircraft, within city limits, requires a SFOC permit from Transport Canada. There are a number of other regulations and guidelines that need to be followed for legal commercial aerial filming and photography. We're strict when it comes to following these rules outlined by Transport Canada, and we will not proceed with a commercial flight if a permit cannot be acquired for a specific location that requires it.

On the day of the aerial shoot the airport tower must be contacted and notified of our flight plans prior to flying, and again after the flight has taken place. This is to ensure that the airport tower is aware that we have a drone in the air and not to direct any air traffic in our flight path.

All commercial aerial flights require a trained pilot and ground manager at the site of the flight at all times. Our pilots and ground managers have undergone extensive training for efficient and safe flight, but also generating captivating videos and photos, while adhering to strict guidelines for safe and legal aerial flights.
