I am quite aware of the regs that were released in Canada the other day. I am quite aware of the exemptions or waivers being worked on that should be in effect prior to the 6 month inauguration of the new regs. We have been assured of that carve out for MAAC members operating at MAAC fields so I am not too worried.

If you bothered to look at our two organizations MAAC and AMA you would see that in many ways things are very similar. As for the FAA and Transport Canada again they are closely aligned. In fact across the globe internationally they cannot be so different that you could not safely fly from one country to another.

This drone, RPAS what ever you wish to call it may eventually end up the same/similar across the globe because it will affect all civil aviation.

Here is the document released in Canada Canada Gazette, Part 2, Volume 153, Number 1:Â Regulations Amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) and if you scroll down to about the last quarter under the title “Regulatory Cooperation” it touches on international cooperation.
