TORONTO, Feb. 9, 2018 /CNW/ - Drone Delivery Canada
'DDC or the Company' (TSX.V:FLT OTC:TAKOF), is pleased to
announce that Transport Canada has granted the Company a Compliant
UAV Operator Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC).
A Compliant 'UAS' (Unmanned Aircraft System) was the first of
three regulatory components to the Transport Canada Compliant UAS
Operator program, and mandatory for a Compliant UAS Operator SFOC,
which the Company obtained and announced in December 2017.
Today, receiving this additional approval represents the balance
of the remaining two steps of a methodical process to prove the
Company's operational safety practices and our professionalism to
Transport Canada. This milestone, achieving a Compliant Operator
SFOC, is both essential and necessary for any UAV operator wanting
to conduct Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight operations; and for our
specific purpose of drone delivery services.
"The Company has been working around the clock to achieve
compliant status and is both grateful and appreciative of being
recognized as a professional and safe operator of unmanned aircraft
(UAS) by Transport Canada. Realizing this milestone enables DDC to
continue moving towards becoming a leader in drone delivery
services for Canadians by Canadians across our vast geography",
commented Mark Wuennenberg,
Vice-President of Regulatory Affairs Drone Delivery Canada.
Approval of this certificate is the starting point for the
commercialization of drone delivery services in Canada. To this end, DDC intends to work with
Transport Canada to trial beyond visual range delivery solutions in
remote areas of Canada's
north.
Drone Delivery Canada appreciates the efforts of Transport
Canada in creating a favorable environment to grow innovative
technology.
