    Criticism Mounting over Transport Canada Drone Certification Exam Questions

    Thanks, I know I feel better just knowing I have the certification. As far as young teenagers are concerned, I hope they won't be discouraged when they realize they have to study and research. Common sense tells us we need regulations when so many fly without using any.

    Where to learn for exam

    You will also need the Flight Review AND a drone that Transport Canada has approved for that task.

    Where to learn for exam

    MAAC members are only exempt at MAAC flying fields. To fly less than 100 ft but more than 15 ft from people will require the Advanced certificate. Flying over an assembly of people will still require the Advanced pilot to have the SFOC.

    Criticism Mounting over Transport Canada Drone Certification Exam Questions

    I know that most of these comments have been about the Advanced test but I just finished my Basic. Passed it but still had to Google a few times. Too many odd questions for what most people will see as recreational flying. I'll be taking the Advanced in a few months but today I wanted to see...

    So this guy is giving me a bad name all over the the internet...

    Try not to worry about what the person says. He obviously wants everything for nothing. It's easy to get caught up in all of the crap. Keep investigating prices and set yours accordingly. If you ever want to do some flying let me know. You're in a really good area and I'm only 70 km away.

    Drone insurance in Ontario Canada.

    I'm in New Brunswick and just got my $1,000,000 liability at just over $500 from Drone Insurance Depot. Surprised to learn it covers both recreational and commercial flying. This also covers a PHANTOM 3 4k and Inspire 1 V2.0

    Video Backups

    I've been flying my P3 4k for about 18 months and an Inspire 1 V2 for 5 months now. After every day of flying I would download the video and still to a 4TB drive. Then reuse the SD card the next flight. A couple of days ago I went to edit video and what a surprise, not a good one. The 4TB...

    Thought you'd like to see latest build ....

    Looks beautiful! A number of years ago when I lived in British Columbia, I built a 2.75 m v-tail glider of the bald eagle. It flew beautifully! It was inspired by my F3b glider being attacked by the real thing.

    Recommendations for computer hardware

    I don't think I have seen this addressed. What do you recommend for computer hardware for editing 4k video? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
