Hello @jthompsonsk , Prepare yourself for some speculation and m y opinion...I doubt that the P3P would be certified. What would be the motivation for the manufacturer to do so? DJI would much rather you run out and buy new. By all accounts it does not appear that the P4P is even in...

Did anyone post this yet? DJI Drones Comply With New Transport Canada Requirements For Advanced Operations

Put the P4P up at -25C today thanks to @3rdof5 and the test flight info. At 91m (300') AGL and 450m (1500') away 7 minutes into the flight the battery had climbed from an initial temp of 20C to 33C. Brought it home for a fully charged battery (swapped at +50% ~aiming for more like 65) and...

Hi St. John's, The proposal for the new regulations was highlighted in the Canada Gazette, July 2017. I noted July simply as a reference to the anniversary of these proposed regulations however it is unknown when the regulations will change or if they will for that matter. Further to the...

Hello I am a Canuk - new to this forum and see that there is no answers in the thread? Best place to go is our FAA - Transport Canada. From what I gather it appears that we have similar rules as you do in the states. Fly your drone: below 90 m above the ground at least 30 m away from...
