UAV Operations
To ensure safe operations at airports throughout Canada Transport Canada has safety rules in affect. Drones share airspace with other drones and aircraft. Knowing where to fly your drone is an important part of keeping the skies safe. To learn more about where you can and can't fly a drone visit Transport Canada.
Operating a drone within the 7NM (13km) radius of the North Bay Airport Control Zone requires the operator of a drone to adhere to 'Advanced Operational' requirements, and as such requires permission from Nav Canada. To learn more visit Nav Canada RPAS.
Any operator who fails to comply with the new flying restrictions and conditions could be subject to fines of up to $3,000. Call 911 or your local law enforcement agency immediately if you witness illegal drone use.
Please visit www.canada.ca/drone-safety to learn more about the new rules, and updates on the department’s progress on drones.
To learn more about the restricted areas visit the National Research Council Canada UAV Site Selection Tool.
