Frequently Asked Questions

Drone regulatory consulting helps organizations understand and address the regulatory, operational, safety and documentation requirements associated with professional RPAS operations in Canada.

An RPAS Standard Operating Procedure is a documented set of instructions explaining how an organization plans, conducts and manages its drone operations, including crew responsibilities, flight planning, normal procedures, emergency response, maintenance, training and reporting.

An SFOC-RPAS is an authorization issued by Transport Canada for certain RPAS operations that fall outside the permissions available under other operating categories.

Not necessarily. Certain lower-risk BVLOS operations may qualify under Canada's Level 1 Complex operating rules when all applicable requirements are satisfied. Other operations may require an SFOC-RPAS. The appropriate pathway depends on the proposed operation and applicable requirements.

A Concept of Operations, or CONOPS, describes how a proposed drone operation will work. It typically covers the mission, aircraft, crew, operating environment, supporting systems, workflows, limitations and safety measures.

Yes. Infinit Drones can support organizations with application preparation, documentation, identifying gaps and responding to regulatory questions. However, Transport Canada makes the final authorization decision.

Yes. Our consulting services include RPAS regulatory guidance, SOP development, SFOC-RPAS support, CONOPS development, BVLOS planning and RPAS program assessments.

No. Transport Canada is responsible for making the final authorization decision. Infinit Drones can help organizations prepare a stronger and more complete submission.

BVLOS consulting helps organizations evaluate the operational, technical, communications, airspace and safety requirements associated with Beyond Visual Line of Sight drone operations.

Depending on the operation, an assessment may consider regulatory pathways, operating areas, command-and-control links, detect-and-avoid strategies, ground and air risk, communications, remote operations centres, drone docks and emergency procedures.

An RPAS program assessment evaluates an organization's proposed or existing drone operation across regulatory, technical, operational and safety considerations.

Regulatory consulting can benefit public safety agencies, government organizations, critical infrastructure operators, industrial companies, commercial drone operators, automated drone programs, educational institutions and other organizations developing professional RPAS operations.

Yes. Infinit Drones can help organizations evaluate their mission requirements and develop a practical pathway covering equipment, documentation, personnel, safety, regulatory considerations and operational deployment.

Yes. DFR programs are among the operational applications considered within Infinit Drones' CONOPS and regulatory consulting work.

Yes. Consulting can include drone-dock deployment planning, operating-area assessment, communications, emergency procedures and broader program considerations.

Approval timelines can vary significantly depending on the operation, documentation, complexity and applicable regulatory pathway. Infinit Drones can assess your proposed operation and help identify the documentation and regulatory requirements involved.
