Curious about the legality of a few things in Canada.
I want to fly and capture some photo's of a boat launch for a fishing tournament. I am not using the UAV for hire, I dont currently plan to release any of these pictures. I plan to fly around a set of islands that the boats must pass near. The islands are about 300 ft off my front dock.
Would I need an SFOC for something like this?
The regulations are difficult to decipher as I am trying to understand.
As far as I understand, if I steer clear of being overhead of the boats themselves, steer clear by a horizontal distance of 100 feet, and maintain my VLOS I should be okay?
The Inspire 1 has previously been used for Forestry surveys. Several SFOC's are in the pipe for unrelated jobs.
Before it was used for Forestry work it was operating under an exemption, properly registered and all.
Should I be worried?
Should I not do this?
Is the release of the photo's a deal breaker?
Is the capture of the photo's a deal breaker?
Questions, queries, comments or suggestions?
