The Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) is the certificate issued by Transport Canada that is necessary to obtain in order to fly a remotely piloted aircraft for commercial purposes. To apply for the SFOC there is no standard application. One must be written from scratch.

This is where Aerobotika comes in!

You need to obtain a special flight operations certificate if ANY of the following are true:

• Your aircraft has a take-off weight above 25kg.
• You want to fly next to a building and there is a neighbouring building within 9km.
• You want to fly in anything other than class G airspace.
• You want to be able to operate at a moment’s notice.

INSURANCE

You will need insurance, but not just any insurance. You need special commercial UAV insurace. Don’t worry, we will help you with this too.

A PLAN

We need this information to build your application. We need to know the who, what, where, when, and how of what you want to do. Don’t worry, we thought of this; all of this information is captured in the form.

A UAV

Sure, you don’t need it to get the Special Flight Operations Certificate, but we at least need to know what it is. A significant component of the application is about your aircraft, its technical specs, its performance, its standard operating procedures and more.
