Before hiring aerial videography services, you should look into your area’s laws and regulations. All of Canada’s commercial drone usage is regulated by Transport Canada through the Aeronauts Act and the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CAR). This means that all drone operators need to follow the regulations of the organization to operate legally. Drone operators are generally expected to have a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) issued by Transport Canada, and if they don’t have one they could be liable in the event of an accident and this can reflect negatively on your brand. There are plenty of drone operators out there who don’t fly legally so be sure to ask the right questions to ensure you are protected.

At OTBx Air, all our professional drone operators are fully aware of these laws and regulations within Canada, and are fully certified. Our team is also experienced and trained on how to safely and properly use aerial drone technology in tandem with the latest cameras. When you hire OTBx Air to take on your aerial project, you can trust that we know what we’re doing and that we are committed to flying responsibly. Transport Canada requires that companies operating under an exemption must have at least $100,000 in liability insurance coverage. OTBx Air carries a $5.0 million liability policy to protect everyone and requires a $2.0 million liability policy for each aerial drone operator on our team. You can rest assured that our entire team is background-checked for added security and liability and is dedicated to providing our clients with the best quality service and quick turn-around.
