BVLOS

Volatus is a member of the Transport Canada BVLOS knowledge working group and works closely in a subject matter expert and advisory role in supporting the development of BVLOS Ground School standards to safely integrate BVLOS drone operations into Canadian airspace. Transport Canada has established various standing committees from industry to assist in developing the regulations for BVLOS training of pilots. Volatus proudly sits on two.
