MAAC works in close cooperation with Transport Canada which is supportive of our hobby.
All MAAC members flying remotely controlled models (RPA) must comply with all TC CAR Part IX regulations and the MAAC Safety Code – note the MAAC safety code covers RPA between 0 and 25kg.
More information on legally flying a RPA in Canada can be found on the Transport Canada ‘Flying your drone safely and legally’ webpage.
Members must have at least a Pilot Certificate – Small Remotely Piloted Aircraft (VLOS) – Basic Operations and register with TC any RPA they fly.
There are a number of links below that explain the airspace requirements for remote control pilots.
Flying your drone safely and legally
Note: The Canadian Aviation Regulations is a legal document that only uses the term RPA/RPAS and does not use ‘drone’. The TC web site uses the word ‘drone’ in many of its pages and subsites. These terms are equivalent for MAAC purposes.
