Is this for recreational or commercial operators?
Both. The registration labels and marking requirements apply to anyone flying a drone 250g+ in Canada. The SOP template is especially useful for commercial operators who need documented procedures for clients or insurance.
What drone models does it fit?
Tell us your drone model during checkout and we size every label to fit. Works with DJI, Autel, FPV builds, and commercial platforms.
Can I customise the SOP template?
Yes — it's a PDF template you fill in with your operation details, equipment list, emergency procedures, and maintenance schedule. Designed for Canadian commercial drone operations.
Do you offer this for flight schools?
Yes. Contact us for bulk pricing on student kits. Many schools order 10–50 kits per intake.
