good morning by the time you see this
Canada will have implemented new laws
that make it nearly impossible to fly a
drone anywhere legally this video is
outlining the tests the new rules and
how insane it is to fly drone in this
country let's begin these four Korea
secure lunch perimeter you don't make a
secure launch perimeter no I don't you
didn't you didn't bring your
navigational maps I forgot them at the
store where you bought you have your the
app on your phone
tuned to the local watched air traffic
control tower I don't have that either
I'm just just making vlogs I'm not a
pilot
I think the wind's coming from the north
right now so what runway I think they'll
use zero three eight at button Ville
today that sounds like the runway I
would use given ya given that wind
direction you have no idea what I'm
talking about do you
zero clue what you're talking about but
I know that you just went to like drone
school to get a license is that what
this is you don't even know how to read
a Matar report starting to get
irritating
[Music]
[Music]
this is a lot of stuff for flying drones
yeah it's not just a hobbyist thing
anymore
now with the new drone pilot licence
rules in Canada there's a lot of steps
and procedures and flight records and
things that you need we're good here for
like a little bit uh actually I was
flying here yesterday I got a parking
ticket on my car but probably won't
happen again new spot
[Music]
all right all packed up let's go the new
licensing system they've made it so that
anybody can fly a drone almost nowhere
- almost nobody can fly a drone almost
anywhere so for everyone else in the
world that didn't understand that Canada
as a country as a whole has changed the
drone laws basically now illegal to fly
a drone anywhere without very specific
licensing and certificates and a whole
bunch of things that I'm gonna explain
to you in this video I will say though
the water right now is prime jet ski
conditions there's AG 0 chop the wind 6
kilometres per you wouldn't even have to
turn the jet ski you just lean and it
would just do the work for you love that
we should be we should be riding those
instead of talking about rules is that
guy gonna give us a ticket okay let's go
[Music]
okay we are trying this again we will
probably have better luck at this spot
because nobody's out here so after
you've done your general flight plan you
have to set up a secure perimeter do you
actually have to do that like you have
to do well you don't have to use your
signals but you'll get in trouble if you
don't islands if you could wear safety
vest I'm out I'm not even I don't even
care you can have my drones this is just
beyond ridiculous
[Music]
direct Kenzi on course maple 76 no it's
air traffic control you have to have
communication with the airspace that
you're currently in and have an ability
to contact air traffic control should
you have a flyaway or any unexpected
emergency that's about three percent of
what you need to know
[Music]
[Music]
so Gabriel here just spent the entire
time that I was in San Diego in in like
a flight school like an actual flight
school to get a new certificate to be
able to legally fly his drone anywhere I
guess it's like legally like so if you
don't have that as of June 1st you
cannot fly in Canada without it at all
at all right okay so any drone over two
hundred fifty five grams basically the
second you buy it you have to register
it so as to be registered with Nav
Canada they've broken into two different
licenses it's basic and advanced so with
basic you need to stay a hundred feet
away from people and you can't fly in
controlled airspace can't fly over
advertised events with the advanced you
can fly within six meters of people up
to four hundred feet over people and in
control airspace to an extent when they
sent me the study material I wrote them
back and he sent me the material for the
wrong course this is for aviation and
nope it's 320 pages of exam preparation
PDF for flying a drone oh man I wouldn't
even have read like a ten page PDF 300
yeah so you need to know just about
everything that a pilot needs to know
less how to actually pilot the aircraft
so you need to know radio communication
you need to know theory of flight you
need to know how to read maps how to get
the actual weather report my drone
flying days have come to an end in
Canada so you have to know how to read a
met our report METAR it's a weather
report given in the language that pilots
know how to read it and so it's all in
code going across the winds blowing 150
degrees at 13 gusting to 18 knots the
visibility is 15 stat pile out
temperatures to M but the dew point is
at 1400 really where I live I should be
[Music]
we're gonna get definitely gonna get the
pulled pork wrap
definitely going with a hot dog fries
and gravy and cheese and everything
that's gonna kill me tomorrow I'll start
eating healthy tomorrow tomorrow I think
I got too much food all I got is a wrap
of course you could feed about seven
people with it so the course that I did
to pass the test it was Friday Saturday
and Sunday about ten hours per day
there's just so much information you
need to learn I think for the people
they're gonna put in the effort I think
it's actually a really really good
system it makes a lot of sense
keeps the skies a lot safer it's just a
lot a lot of work to actually get it
have you see the new drone laws yes I'm
literally retiring all my drones I don't
know what I'm probably never gonna fly
in Canada ever again actually probably I
don't know are you gonna take the test
now that it's I'm not getting a pilot's
license like I don't need a pilot's
license I'm not doing all that so either
I'm gonna have to always have somebody
who does have the license fly the drone
for me or I'm just not flying I think
I'm really the same thing like I mean I
never really fly it in Canada as it is
but yeah I think I'm done to here it was
I thought you were gonna you know shout
out my new video or something and
instead you came and reminded me of the
depressing fact that we can I drones
anymore yeah so drone wars you were the
official champ
so put over there Thanks yeah you win I
thought we were gonna know just a quick
like okay like the hair by the way
Thanks so there it is that's uh that's
effective June 1st so if you fly a drone
in Canada you have to have the
certificate basic or advanced to fly
without you know the chance of getting a
ticket so what am I gonna do because a
lot of people have been saying like well
Pete are you gonna keep flying your
drone and as you've probably put it
together Gabriel has been doing a lot of
the drones stuff for me in this vlog as
a
late so the stuff you see of the office
and the lake footage and all those types
of things
since he's kind of works for me now he
just flies the drone wherever we feel
like flying it and he does that and
gives me the footage so that's probably
I'll keep doing here
unless of course like Maddie and I are
flying it in somewhere like Norway where
it doesn't matter way up in the islands
and nobody's around then we'll probably
be piloting those I think drone sales in
this country probably just got cut in
half at least maybe that's why they
started making action cams what I'm very
curious about though is if this is gonna
happen in the States or any other
countries if it's just gonna start
getting harder and harder and harder to
fly these drones the one plus side that
I would maybe be able to carve out of
this is if you do have a certificate
your skills are worth more now so you
can probably charge more money for
commercial projects or any type of
projects that you know require drone
flights because now your skill is far
more limited than just anybody being
able to go out and buy a drone you now
have that license you'd be able to
charge more for your work with that and
be able to you know probably get more
work because you are licensed and have
the certificate that might be a plus
side if you're willing to put in the
work all the hours and read that was it
300 pages so those are the drone laws
what do you guys think let me know below
I'd love to hear what the drone laws are
in your country and if you think this is
gonna affect sales of drones and just
the general discussion of is it getting
harder and harder to actually use these
things thanks for watching hit the like
button subscribe do do w-want it's your
life see you guys in the next video
[Music]
it is certainly food that looks cool a
police car and you can make it look like
you're being arrested that's a good
thumbnail
