e-1005 (Air transportation)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Minister of Transport
- Transport Canada has released an Interim Order Respecting the Use of Model Aircraft and is developing new UAV regulations outlined in the Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) Unmanned Air Vehicles;
- There is a need to regulate airspace for public safety and all commercial UAV activities require regulation;
- The definition of Model Aircraft and all privileges associated with recreational model aircraft outlined in CAR 602.45 are proposed to be removed in the new regulations;
- The recreational model aircraft community will be negatively impacted by the proposed regulations, effectively criminalizing many activities that have a long safety record; and
- Model Aircraft do not pose the same associated risks as commercial UAVs.
