soon after Transport canada released its new drone laws DJI fired out an email to all registered DJI users. Ive included a copy of the email and encourage you to follow the link and join NODE. Dear Creator, The last few years have been especially exciting for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), commonly known as drones. Today, drones are generating new opportunities around the world for business, government, nonprofit, educational and recreational use. Drones also assist first responders, make hazardous jobs safer, let people take stunning photos and inspire our children to get involved with science and technology. However, regulators in Canada have recently imposed recreational flight restrictions that threaten the future of this growing industry. Some of the rules include prohibiting drone flights: Closer than 75 meters from buildings, structures, vehicles, animals and people Within 9 kilometers of any type of airport, without any provision for airport permission At night These rules could prohibit drones from being used for education, art, and film making, even in your own backyard, and even when you are flying safely. This is why it’s important that your elected officials hear how drones are safe, fun and educational. And responsible drone pilots like you are the best people to deliver that message. To that end, we helped start the Network of Drone Enthusiasts (NODE), a new grassroots group dedicated to advocating for the interests of responsible drone pilots across the United States and Canada. NODE gives affiliated drone organizations a united voice to collaborate with legislators and regulators on developing reasonable and effective drone regulations that encourage drone use while protecting public safety. A modest investment of your time will be invaluable in protecting your rights and the rights of fellow drone owners and pilots. Join the Network of Drone Enthusiasts today by: Signing up here on the website. It only takes 30 seconds! Following NODE’s Facebook and Twitter accounts for the latest news. Spreading the word about NODE, with friends and fellow enthusiasts across the country. All drone pilots and fans, from do-it-yourself drone kit owners to commercial operators, are welcome to join this grassroots movement. NODE’s website will make it easy for concerned pilots to get involved and ensure they can work with their elected officials and talk about the benefits of drones and their admirable safety record. Together, we can ensure that public safety is a priority and protect the rights of drone owners and pilots. Thanks again for your willingness to stand up and be counted.
