Earlier this year, Canada Transport Minister Marc Garneau revealed new rules for drone operation in Canada. As of June 1, 2019, both hobby and commercial drone users in Canada will have to adhere to the new regulations.
On Tuesday March 12, 2019, DJI announced that nine of its drone models comply with the latest Transport Canada regulations for advanced drone operations in controlled airspace. The new framework requires that certain types of advanced civilian drone operations use drones that their manufacturer has declared compliance with reliability and operational characteristics.
9 DJI’s compliant drones:
- M600 Series
- M200 Series
- M200 V2 Series
- Inspire 2
- Mavic 2 series
- Mavic Pro
- Mavic Air
- Phantom 4 series
- Spark
This will allow DJI customers to continue using compliant drones without interruptions when the new regulatory framework takes effect across Canada on June 1. “A self-declaration compliance regime is yet another innovative approach by Transport Canada to lead the way in enhancing safety while integrating advanced operations,” said Javier Caina, DJI Director of Technical Standards.
