Hello Joe;
With the help of Don's videos, a lot of reading and studying I recently passed the basic exam - first time around :-)
At the risk of upsetting some people I really think a license is a good idea not only to fly safely but to also understand the air space we are sharing where major problems can occur if something goes wrong. For example imagine what our roads would be like if people did not have to pass a drivers license.
I feel that holding a license informs people I know the rules and how to fly safely.
Even though I only own a micro drone, I tend to stay away from flying around people as I do not want to get into a discussion in particular on peoples privacy.
As a retired senior I was able to write the exam, I do not think there is an age limit.
I read a couple of things about parks 1) parks we designed for for people to enjoy i.e. ATVs and snowmobile's need to use designated trails 2) animals can be injured by a drone or injured by attacking drones so it is for the safety of the animals that we need to be careful whenever we are in their environment.
I would encourage everyone to at least read the material for the basic license.
Thanks for the video, stay safe
Thanks for the comment and great insights. Congrats on getting your permit!
I agree with you on the Pilot test. I also took 2 tries lol. I also found some of the questions totally unrelated to anything I will ever do with my drone. Thanks for your video posting!
thanks for the comment and happy flying!
Thanks for all the information. I got an L701 yesterday; good condition off Facebook 40$ everything works. Did a short test flight today, it was too windy.
Thanks for all the information.
That's awesome and my pleasure!

You can fly on provincial parks unless otherwise stated, for drone under 249 gram.
Thanks so much bro. Don’t crash this one !!
My pleasure and will do haha
I'm OK with registering [vehicle identification] all for certification and safety in public zones. The fee's are a double billing tax scam... you've paid the taxes for those services to be done... not double charged for it... all tax rebate double billing scams.
So, yesterday I made a super rookie mistake. Tested the L701 yesterday morning before I found these videos. Bought it the day before... thanks man, saved my ass from trouble with this video... nice watch...
Edit = here's an example of government hide and seek reindeer game's... Canada is a hide and seek easter egg hunt reindeer gamed to death...
Thanks so much and it's hard for sure, so many rules! Good flying though and have fun!
Hi Joe, appreciate the video! I have a friend who explained the test very similarly which is why I have kind of been hesitant to take it! haha
My pleasure and it is a bit hard but don't be afraid to fail on your first try, I did and still passed the second time
thanks for video just got my basic liscence next up advanced!
bro-godo day-great editing-
Thanks
Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
It is my personal opinion that TC does not want ANYONE to fly UAVs in Canada. That is the reason that they built the online test for the Basic Certificate the way they did so that there would be failures at least for the first time writers. Now authorities could go ahead and slap heavy fines on those that fly with no certificate or licence. These tests are nothing more than money generators for our Canadian Government, and you must write tests anually to keep your paperwork current. We all are being punished for the actions of a very few idiots that have flown near (or within) airport boundaries or other locations where they had no business being in the first place.
Great video man!
Thanks so much!
@@JoeMansLand of course, keep up the good work! You’re doing all the right things.
@@tylerpenner5881 thanks for the positive feedback 🙏 I am going to be dropping some pretty different content this fall
Hi Joe! I'm a Calgary flyer (In the country mainly) but I have a Mini2 sub 250gram and the NAV app allows me to fly even downtown where it's red. Obviously, you still have to abide by logical rules of voyeurism and flying over people and such, but the app allows it. I haven't flown downtown yet, but I live in the beltline and the app shows "allowed". My main question is, is it really worth it, or is there any advantage, to getting the basic license, even though I don't really need it?
I took it the other day with no studying and got a 47%, learned a few things earlier today form Don's channel, but just wondering if it's really needed since I'm under 250grams.
Great question and I had that question too when I moved to the Beltline. Don's video on my drone playlists goes more into micro drones, but long story short you do not need a permit for sub 250. I would recommend using the simulator and being familiar with the rules that apply to heavier drones but you are good to go on flying without a permit in Canada with the sub 250 drone, just make sure you check your local bylaws on micro drone rules as they change from city to City
Thanks, trying to take the exam
No problem and good luck, you got this!
The background music is SO LOUD. It's hard to hear you over it :(
You are 100% right Jay and sine this video I have tried to turn it down more
It would have been nice if the video had left it clear that he is only talking about drones above 250grams. When he says: You can't fly here.
For sure, good feedback- I have another video on this playlist that goes into micro drones that I would recommend if you are flying 250 or less
They keep changing the laws and it’s getting very confusing because they are not very clear on how the laws are written.. I have now noticed that all city’s now can also have drone laws vs Canada laws..
Hey Joe! Just wanted to check if an Advanced license is necessary for a beginner and your thoughts on it. I'd like to basically fly in local parks, buildings and around people. Please let me know :)
Hi great question. You need special permission either way to fly in most public/provincial/national parks-regardless of licence. Advanced is good if you have more commercial projects, but it would increase your chance of being approved by the governing bodies in these regions.
Hey. I am so new to this. I have a just got a mini 3 pro. Just wondering what’s the best place I can legally fly in GTA.
Great question-I am not as familiar with Toronto rules but micro drones like the mini3 fall under these federal rules: tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/drone-safety/learn-rules-you-fly-your-drone/find-your-category-drone-operation but I did see this page on coastal about toronto: coastaldrone.co/where-can-i-fly-my-drone-in-toronto/
Hello, with a drone that weighs less than 250 Gr can I upload videos to TH-cam and monetize those videos? I want to know if I can fly the drone in the downtown of different cities, near ports and waterfronts, additionally, I want to know if I can add to a Vlog video (where I speak) some drone shots as a support to make the video look cooler. Do you think I can legally upload that video to TH-cam, Instagram and Facebook and monetize it? I am not a Canadian citizen but I am in love with this country and love to show off its good things. Thanks
I’m still going to fly my drone, but as usual over onerous regulation by the Government of Canada, curtails creativity, enterprise, and free expression, in Canada.
I don't think it's really a big deal to fly without a permit myself as long as the drone is within your line of sight and your not being intrusive towards people or businesses. I think the main reason towards such stiff finds is because people nowadays want to get into everyone elses businesses and drones can do just that plus transport illegal goods like drugs,guns.
I wounder where we can fly our drone? No conservation areas, not near our camping sites, no parks. Only just bare lands . Who wants to shoot those lands. Why drones are selling in Canada?
Thanks for sharing, I'm just starting out and I realized the process is definitely hard to figure out. Did you get your advanced license as well? I'm considering it to have more access to fly in different areas.
Thanks for the comment! I currently only have my basic operations, as even with advanced, you are still limited in the locations you can fly. Are you planning on using it for more commercial work?
@@JoeMansLand No basically just for recreational use. It would allow operations inside controlled air space which opens up slightly more possibilities in Toronto. Just not sure if its worth going through that process.
@@flyingfelixdrone ah for sure, it would be then. For us in Alberta, all of the parks are off limits with out special permissions, hence why I only did basic
@@flyingfelixdrone ah Toronto, according to nav map we cant fly over woodbine beach ! the coolest place where actions are going on . I will start with basic one first and i am doing it purely for recreational.
@@yaya2006 just do it until someone tells you to stop. Honestly screw our laws. I bust it out everywhere except airports. Screw the rules I'm having fun. If we keep complying they will restrict them further then ban them. 3 years ago I would have said be a good boy. The government has proven themselves as against Canadians. To listen to them is just morally wrong now. Respect peoples privacy and safety and you will be fine.
Just got myself a Mini 3 Pro after having a Phantom Way back in the day. I'm under the 249g weight but realistically all that means is that I do not need to register or have a drone license right ? All the same flight rules and areas I can fly would apply for micro drones as do regular drones I assume?
Nice choice in drone! Yes for sure, just make sure you still register the drone
Canadian rules suck, that's why I am in the Philippines with my old Karma drone, and I will be leaving it here so my freinds can continue and teach them how to pilot it
They are quite dense for sure, but that's cool! Where was your favourite spot to fly?
Hi, great video... how about FAA Part 107 drone pilots who want to fly in Canada.. Is there an exception considering the same rules largely apply?
when u pull up that map and it shows you where u cant fly, are u saying if u took a DJI drone there the drone wont fly at all, or u could fly there its just against the law and u could get fined?
Good question. Some DJI drones have fencing that prohibit take off in these spots but others you could fly then in these areas but it is illegal with out the appropriate permits and permissions
Appreciate your advise, liked the video… I have a DJI Mini 2 and Don Drone seem to say no license needed but fly with good common sense… If I’m wrong please let me know?? I really like flying and the videos I’m getting, just awesome!! Learning now and someday might go bigger with the drone and would then need a license… But for now I’m taking this all in as a learning experience to move up my drone game in the future….
That's an awesome drone and thanks for the comment. You need to register your drone, but you do not need a permit. Just keep in mind that the same rules and regulations with regards to where you can fly do still apply.
@@JoeMansLand You are incorrect. The person wrote that he has a Mini 2 which is under 250g and Don Joyce clearly says that you do not have to register a sub 250g drone. You should retract your above statement.
@@thomza you are correct the transport Canada site states, 'Drones under 250 g do not need to be registered unless something is attached to it that increases its weight to 250 g or more."
I’m so confuse and I need your guy’s expertise. I’m new to this I got the dji mini 2 and it says 249g. I live in Calgary. Does the battery adds up to the weight? I just registered it with 5$ but didn’t took the pilot basic or advance. Please help me out I’m starting to panic 😂Thank you in advance.
Ya know I have the same opinion that I’m here learning to drone and add great footage to my videos… I’m a novice too and yes we are legal to fly with no license at the present weight of the drone, don’t add anything like lights for nights and so much on, that would change the law… For me I stay low, close in sight and be as quick as possible… Notice the police hover and just watch when they fly?? Ya otherwise best judgement, stay away from people…
Hi Joe! Great video! I live in Calgary and I just got my license about two months ago, but I'm still wondering how does this rules apply speaking of real estate industry? Using drones for real estate has become very popular and I was actually thinking on suggesting to my boss we could use a small drone to get nice shots of different dealerships (I work for an automotive group in marketing). But then when I read the laws I get confused. Do you know if it's illegal to fly a drone not like super high but just to get nice shots of the dealerhips and the lot to show the inventory from above? Thank you.
Thank so much and that is a great question. IT first depends on your permit and the final destination for the video. Drone footage used for commercial use requires the advanced permit. Also with basic operations you can not fly over people. The first ting to check is to see where the area you want to drone is on the nrc.canada.ca/en/drone-tool/ as there are many sites in Calgary where you can not. If the area you want to cover can't, I recommend building a budget crane with an action cam as a potential solution.
@@JoeMansLand Yes indeed, in almost half of Calgary is not allowed to fly a drone. So sad that all the dealerships I work for are in the NE area, which is covered by that huge red circle haha I guess it is because of the airport. Anyways thank you so much for your help!
@@JoeMansLand where can I find more information about not using a drone for commercial purposes in canada?
@@579Jacob I would start here but local drone shops are also great references tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/drone-safety/learn-rules-you-fly-your-drone/flying-your-drone-safely-legally
I don’t like the VLOS rules… if you have a camera on your drone you can see the ground with it which is VLOS from the drone to the ground…. Which is what private pilots must obey
Vlos must be respected for fpv freestyle?
I would recommend getting special permission for going out of VLOS even with an FPV, according to transport Canada," Beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations are for specific and defined operating environments. We can authorize these operations when an operational risk assessment has been completed to mitigate potential risks to people and aircraft sharing that airspace.
This allows operators to explore new drone applications that can take advantage of Canada’s vast geography. Drones have the potential to serve isolated regions, lower population densities, and large pockets of uncontrolled airspace with minimal airspace traffic."
Do I need any licence if I have a drone less than 250g?
Hi there good question, in Canada you do not need a permit for that class of drone but rules do apply
Hi. If you pass all steps. And it's aircraft area ,would you be able to somehow legally fly there
Just fly a micro drone, problem solved.
for sure opens up a lot more options, but still a number of rules apply nationally and you should always check your local bylaws before taking off
Conservation areas are not allowed to fly drones, Park not allowed, Camping sites are not allowed. Even it is Micro drones.
Canada is well on its way to a communist dystopia.
What the reasoning behind the parks is something I'd like to know.
I think their logic on the parks is a combination of disruption of animals and the fear of everyone flying and the whole sky moving (especially in places like Banff). But I do wish their were some designated areas where we could fly maybe with geofencing at the edges
Hi joe do i need a permits in canada even tho im using 249g of drone?
Great question and it depends on where you are flying. If you want to fly in provincial or national parks you need a special permit from the park (they are really picky ㅋㅋㅋ) but aside from that you don't need any other permitting to fly a sub 250 drone
@@JoeMansLand thank you for your reply!! I hope you enjoyed in korea!! Have an amazing day!
@@user-em4pf3hu7m my pleasure and I did! Happy droning!
After do the basic and pay what do you have to do again
You will need to register your drone :)
Can I fly my mini 3 pro in richmond?
Hey there Richmond bc?
@@JoeMansLand yes around executive hotel
So if i have 250 g or less no need for license؟
Yes correct in Canada but some regulations still apply
This is just another example of government overreach and a sad cash grab
Hey is there an age limit for the licene
Great question-to my knowledge no, My father just got his recently and he is over 65, and there was no problem
Hey Pam, the age limits are as follows
-age 14+ can get a basic license
-age 16+ can get a advanced license
Nobody under the age of 14 can operate a drone above 250 grams.
Hi Joe. We know why you wear your hat, but why do you wear your shirts inside out?
Sadly the shirt was designed that way... Guest I know now why it was on sale
guess i can’t fly around my calgary suburbs smh :(
Really depends on the drone weight, if you check out video on micro drone rules it goes into where you can fly with a sub 250 drone
It's a lot easier to fly in the us. We don't need permits 😂
That's fair, although when I visited Colorado recently it seemed I needed a permit? It must change state to state
You have rights
I pity.
