Description
Summary:"21 Unlike operation of a model aircraft, operation of an unmanned air vehicle requires specific advance approval by Transport Canada through the issuance of a Special Flight Operating Certificate (SFOC).22 In late 2014, Transport Canada announced it would exempt small unmanned air vehicles from the SFOC requirement.23 Under this exemption, a vehicle weighing less than 2 kg could be operated without an SFOC if operated below 300 feet above ground level, within line of sight of the pilot, and at least five miles from an airport.24 Further, under the exemption, vehicles weighing between 2 and 26 kg could be operated without an SFOC if various conditions are followed.25 E. AUSTRALIA Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) proposed amendments, released for public comment in May 2014, to Part 101 (Unmanned aircraft and rockets) of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASR) 1998.26 These proposed amendments, if adopted, would, inter alia, "update" the term used for drones from "unmanned aerial vehicle" (UAV) to "remotely piloted aircraft" (RPA) and divide RPA into four categories (large, medium, small, and micro) instead of three.\n Certain items moved from this category to the jurisdiction of the 600-series controls in Category 0 of the CCL.79 * USML Category X consists of personal protective equipment.
