## Drone Pilot Canada Description
The Drone Pilot Canada app allows Canadian drone pilots to easily meet Transport Canada’s procedural requirements under the 2019 Canadian RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) regulations.  Drone Pilot Canada provides a simple map interface to help identify safe flying locations. It offers flight logging capabilities to record flight location and time, pilot and crew identification, the aircraft used, and weather at the time of the flight.  Standard pre-flight checklists and procedures are built into the app and can be tailored by the user. Pilot and crew certification data can be managed directly in the app. Aircraft registration data and maintenance log recording is included.  All user records can be exported from the tool into csv format for reporting or archival.  Numerous other features make the Drone Pilot Canada app a simple one-stop-shop for meeting all Transport Canada procedural requirements for drone pilots in Canada.

## Drone Pilot Canada Reviews in Canada

### ***** "THE Must Have App for Drone Operations in Canada"
I have used this app for two years for all my flights and all the flight reviews I’ve conducted. It is amazing! Can’t imagine operating without it!
-- bbddqq, 2024-08-31

### ***** "An absolute must-have for Canadian operators"
This app has everything you could want in one place. I would need at least 20 different folders, links, websites, etc. without it. The national parks feature is especially helpful as even the Canadian drone tool doesn’t offer that!
-- EvanStrain, 2024-02-12

### ****- "Ok but…"
It contains lots of info but the UI is a bit clunky.  A more refined look and feel would do wonders. 
Also the file input/output could be easier to use.
-- im_dino, 2023-11-18

### ***** "Best App for Canadian pilots"
This app had everything I needed to successfully pass the Transport Canada Advanced Drone Pilot Flight Review.  From flight planning tools that output compliant reports that consolidate the information from the wide range of sources to robust customizable checklists and procedures that again, if used and followed, will lead to compliant operations and successful flights.  The associated videos on YouTube make it easy to learn how to use the app to its fullest and to be confident in your processes. Can’t say enough good things about this app. 6 stars.
-- Martman77, 2023-09-14

### ****- "Great app but …."
This is a great app to place all of your documents and info in the app. Also has maps, phone numbers etc etc
The reason why i wrote but… : of this app can have a link to Nav Drone or be able to plan your flight and get it approved. Im sure there is a way to link the 2
 L
-- Atlantic Eric, 2023-04-22

### ***** "Options missing."
The options for TC. And DJI sRPAS / sub250g Do not appear on the app. They used to but stopped recently. I tried to report the problem via app support but it says i don’t have the app. Anything I can do to fix this.
I got a response guite awhile ago.  Was my lack of knowledge that caused the problem.  I had the drone on one device which worked find but not registered on second device.  Problem rectified.
-- LDH 99, 2022-10-18

### ****- "Great app but still room for improvement"
This app has definitely had some thought out into it. Nicely laid out with plenty of documentation available to get you setup and going. Customizable checklists are huge for me!
Would be great though if the app listed all the air space levels above your flight location as this is huge when conducting site survey and flight plans to be able to understand what’s up there in the event of a verticals fly away.  Currently the app only lists the airspace class at ground level. But I could have class C airspace  1700 ft above that. Important to document and present on flight reviews. 

The font size in the pdf export of the site survey and flight plan could use a bit of clean up as my export had 3 different font sizes throughout the export. 
If I’m pay $60 for this, I’d appreciate a clean exported copy for my records. 
All around though a solid, well thought out app that covers the majority of what you need to get flying safely
-- tree_guy06, 2022-09-28

### ***** "Love it!"
Makes finding unrestricted areas sooooooo easy
-- DAJ2010ab, 2022-06-06

### ****- "Weather Radar"
Would be great if we can get a future weather radar instead of a past .Fp at Tvfd
-- Fp@ Tvfd, 2022-06-02

### ***** "Great App!"
This app contains everything a Canadian drone pilot needs for safe, legal flying. Customizable checklists are a huge plus! A suggestion for a future update…under flight logs, please add an “export all” function.  Having to select all individual flights in order to export everything will be very tedious once a pilot has accumulated 50 flights (or 500 for that matter).
-- Patientx77, 2022-05-21

### ***** "Well thought out and up to date!"
Great app for anyone flying a drone in Canada. Easy to store certificates and license plus user manuals and other relevant documents.  The checklists are comprehensive and customizable.  A lot of thought went into this app.
-- Wallythethird, 2021-11-23

### ***-- "need a french version"
Hi , you should do a french version
-- abraxax123, 2021-08-06

### ***** "Exceeds All Expectations!"
Initially, I figured this app was expensive... Then I realized the features made it worthwhile, so I did purchase it, about 10 days ago. Now, as I easily enter and sync data between my tablet & phone... I'm truly amazed. I ALWAYS struggle when doing stuff like this! The Drone Pilot Canada App makes everything effortless! I have a ton of unrelated apps... but I've never experienced, or seen any app that does so much, and makes it so uncomplicated! The value of Drone Pilot Canada, Greatly Exceeds all Expectations!! Thank you! ( PS: I'll be entering a few recent flights manually... and now I'll be using it on every flight! )
-- GasConsumer2, 2021-06-08

### ***** "Very helpful"
Great product, needs a data connection to function. Difficult to explore areas you are not standing in, lots of manual swiping to go from Ontario to Yukon. I’d like to store the maps within my iPad enabling use in areas without cell coverage. Five star app!
-- MAcuser 45321, 2021-05-07

### ****- "I wish it was beginner friendly"
I’m new to drone and bought a mini 2 which is under 250g. I bought this app because it is recommended in Canada. I like  it because it is up to date and tells you accurately. Another thing that I didn’t like is I wish it tells you what it mean when there’s abbreviation. The “TC” not really sure what that means. And when I click to DJI the yellow circle is gone. Also another one is deleting the air craft that I added into if I’m not sure about what to put and will put it later on to edit. I couldn’t edit my first one and I was going to add a serial number but turns out I have to create a new aircraft. I would give it more like a 3 but since it is up to date and has built in checklists and also has the option to “Create Flight Authorization” which is useful in the future.
-- Jhomini, 2021-04-24

### ***** "You’ll Never Regret Buying This App!!"
Don’t be put off by the price. This is the only app you’ll ever want or need when flying a drone in Canada. It’s intuitive and clearly laid out. It’s easily customizable so you’ll only ever see the parts that interest you. The developer responds quickly to user feedback and incorporates suggestions into future versions. The author Don Joyce (DonDronesOn.com) fully supports this app on his YouTube channel explaining all there is to know. Highly recommended!!
-- StupidSmartCar, 2021-02-15

### ***** "Worth every penny! You won’t be disappointed."
If you are looking for a all in one drone app, don’t look ant further, you will not find one better than this. Whether you are a beginner, advanced, or professional business setting, this is the app for you.
-- Feezer71, 2021-01-24

### ***** "Absolutely great app."
Although it’s specialized for flying drones in Canada, I can honestly say that this is the best app I’ve ever bought for my phone. Everything you need to know is in one place, it’s regularly updated and also allows you to gather and store all the documents you need to have when you fly. Most especially, it’s intuitive and easy to understand, unlike many of the regulations. If you fly drones in Canada, you need this app.
-- NiKi56, 2021-01-02

### ***** "Amazing App - Does it all"
This app does everything you need to meet and exceed the requirements set by Nav Canada.
-- EddieHis, 2020-12-05

### ***** "Drone Pilot Canada Rocks"
I love Don’s videos. I love the app! I’ve been using a competitor’s app all this time, and it doesn’t even come close to what they’ve accomplished with this app. Well done and thank you!
-- Drapester, 2020-11-07
