On January 9, 2019, Transport Canada published new rules for flying drones in Canada. These rules will come into effect on June 1, 2019. The new rules are available for review but you still need to follow the current rules until June 1, 2019.
To ensure everyone's safety, you cannot fly any drones near the Dryden Airport. Transport Canada has introduced drone safety rules and measures to protect Canadians from irresponsible drone use. Before flying your drone, make sure you review Transport Canada's drone safety guide.
Recreational drone operators must mark their drone with their contact information, and may not fly:
- Higher than 90 metres;
- At night;
- Within 75 metres of buildings, vehicles or people; or
- Within 9 kilometres of the centre of any airport, heliport, aerodrome or water aerodrome where aircraft take off and land.
Report a drone incident
You can report a drone incident if you see a violation of Transport Canada's drone rules and any risk to your safety, security or privacy.
UAV Site Selection Tool
The UAV Site Selection Tool allows you to select sites for using your drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that are safely away from aerodromes and built-up areas.
