Transport Canada Advanced pilot
Founder Mike Brun holds a Transport Canada Advanced drone pilot certificate; every flight is flown by an Advanced-certified pilot.
Our aircraft are registered with Transport Canada. In controlled airspace — around London International (CYXU), for example — we request NAV CANADA authorization through NAV Drone before the flight, and apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) when a job needs one.
Insured, with a certificate of insurance on request.
Whether a flight is safe and legal is always the pilot’s call, under Transport Canada rules. If wind, rain or snow would make a flight unsafe, we move it to the next workable day at no charge.
Ask for a sample of the deliverable you need — an inspection PDF, a land film, a map — before you book.
Saying no to the wrong job is part of doing the right one safely.
No flights beyond visual line of sight
BVLOS work needs a Level 1 Complex pilot certificate and an operator certificate (RPOC) for the company. We fly within sight.
No advertised public events without an SFOC
Transport Canada requires a Special Flight Operations Certificate for any drone at an advertised event.
No legal surveys
Maps, models and lot-line overlays are not surveys. Boundaries in Ontario are set by an Ontario Land Surveyor.
No engineering or insurance opinions
Inspections are visual documentation. A qualified roofer, engineer or adjuster interprets them.
No thermal imaging or crop spraying
Neither is offered at the moment.

Before you book
Yes. Founder Mike Brun holds a Transport Canada Advanced drone pilot certificate; every flight is flown by an Advanced-certified pilot. Transport Canada requires a drone pilot certificate for any drone of 250 g or more, and an Advanced certificate to fly in controlled airspace or close to people who aren’t part of the flight.

Usually, yes. London International (CYXU) is surrounded by controlled airspace, and so are Toronto Pearson and Billy Bishop. Flights there need an Advanced pilot and NAV CANADA authorization through NAV Drone. Some requests are approved automatically; a manual review can take about a week, sometimes two, so we build that into your date. We never promise an approval before NAV CANADA gives it.
Insured, with a certificate of insurance on request. Ask for it when you request your quote.
Drone-only jobs get a fixed quote within 1 business day. The price depends on the site size, what you need delivered, the airspace and the travel. For listings: drone photos included in Listing Launch & Premiere, or +$75 on MLS Ready and Market Ready (5–8 edited aerial photos). Construction progress visits start at $425 a visit.
We move the flight to the next workable day at no charge. Steady wind above about 30 km/h, rain, snow or poor visibility usually means we wait. Whether a flight is safe and legal is always the pilot’s call, under Transport Canada rules.
The licence is written on your quote. Construction progress clients own every file. Listing aerials are licensed for marketing the listing they were taken for.
At a private, non-advertised gathering, often yes. A drone of any size at an advertised public event needs a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) from Transport Canada, which takes time to obtain, so talk to us before the event is announced.

We don’t fly beyond visual line of sight (that needs a Level 1 Complex certificate and an operator certificate), we don’t fly advertised public events without an SFOC, and we don’t offer legal surveys, engineering or insurance opinions, thermal imaging or crop spraying.
