In Ontario, drones weighing less than 250 grams are subject to fewer regulations compared to heavier drones. However, there are still some rules to ensure safety and privacy. Here are the key guidelines:


1. **No Registration or Certification**:

   - Drones under 250 grams do not require registration with Transport Canada.

   - Operators are not required to obtain a pilot certificate.


2. **Operational Restrictions**:

   - **Altitude**: Although there is no specific altitude limit for drones under 250 grams, it is advisable to keep them below 122 meters (400 feet) to avoid interference with manned aircraft.

   - **Visual Line of Sight**: The drone must always remain within the visual line of sight of the operator.

   - **Daytime Flying**: It is recommended to fly only during daylight hours and in good weather conditions.


3. **Proximity to Airports and Helipads**:

   - Operators should avoid flying near airports, heliports, and other aerodromes to prevent potential hazards. A safe distance of at least 5.6 kilometers (3.5 miles) from airports and 1.9 kilometers (1.2 miles) from heliports is advisable.


4. **No-Fly Zones and Privacy**:

   - Avoid flying in no-fly zones, such as national parks, military bases, and areas with temporary flight restrictions.

   - Operators must adhere to privacy laws, avoiding capturing images or videos of individuals without their consent.


5. **Safe and Responsible Operation**:

   - Do not operate the drone in a reckless or negligent manner that could endanger people, property, or other aircraft.

   - Be mindful of weather conditions and other environmental factors that might affect the safe operation of the drone.


6. **Respect for Wildlife and Property**:

   - Avoid disturbing wildlife and respect private property boundaries while flying.


While drones under 250 grams are not subject to the same rigorous regulations as heavier drones, operators are still responsible for flying safely and ethically. Adhering to these guidelines ensures compliance with the law and promotes responsible drone use.
