This is what is required to fly an Unmanned Air Vehicle for commercial purposes in Canada. They are basically extending the requirement of a SFOC down to include R/C Aircraft to allow commercial operations. SFOC's are very familiar to almost every Helicopter Pilot and a few of the Seized Wing folks and have been for years. Allthough theses look like they are a pain, once you have a few them in your file and depending on the situation it becomes more of a process than anything.
Enjoy the read
