If you operate a drone weighing 250 grams or more without pilot certification, you risk significant fines! In fact, these fines can reach up to $3,000 for an individual and up to $15,000 for a legal entity.

No. If the weight of your drone is less than 250 grams, it falls into the category called "microdrones". Therefore, you are not required to have certification. However, if the weight of your drone is 250 grams or more, you must have a basic operation certificate and your drone must be registered with Transport Canada. 

We suggest you follow our training, even for microdrone pilots. Indeed, it will allow you to understand your environment (weather, restrictive zones, etc.) in addition to giving you the tools and knowledge to operate in complete safety.

We invite you to consult our FAQ regarding the difference between a basic operation certificate and an advanced operation certificate to better guide you towards what best suits your needs.

Generally, invoices are paid by Interac transfer but we also accept credit cards for a small administrative fee.

We mainly use DJI drones as they are the most widely used, but our training prepares you to use any brand of drone.

To fly a drone over 250g, it is mandatory to have a basic or advanced pilot license. You must have passed the exam on the Transport Canada website and, for the advanced, have passed a flight review with a Transport Canada evaluator. We have several accredited evaluators at KoptR Image. The drone also has to be registered with Transport Canada.

It all depends on the complexity of the mission but we can generally schedule an operation within weeks of the request.

Of course, we can adapt a training course to your specific needs based on your goals.
