Navigating Canada’s Complex Drone, AAM, and Spatial Data Landscape with Integrated Strategy
Canada’s drone market is rapidly expanding, ranking among the top three global markets for RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) sales. The country’s regulatory environment, including CARs Part IX and SFOC approvals, aims to ensure safe and responsible drone operations. However, these rules can be daunting for organizations seeking to leverage drones or enter the AAM market.
Obtaining an SFOC approval requires demonstrating that a flight will not pose a risk to persons or property. Moreover, regulatory bodies like Transport Canada necessitate careful adherence to guidelines governing drone operations above 120 meters. While some companies may possess the technical expertise to navigate these regulations, others may struggle to comprehend the nuances of Canadian aviation law.
Spatial data plays a critical role in drone operations, particularly in industries such as surveying, mapping, and infrastructure inspection. Advanced GIS (Geographic Information System) capabilities enable drones to capture high-resolution imagery, providing valuable insights for tasks like asset management, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. However, working with spatial data requires specialized knowledge of geospatial analysis tools, data formats, and programming languages.
In response to these challenges, Dan Juhlin has launched Juhlin Remote Pilot Consulting (JRPC), a consultancy offering integrated strategic advisory services that bridge the gap between drones, AAM, and spatial data. By combining technical knowledge of aerial systems with regulatory expertise and spatially informed decision-making, JRPC empowers Canadian organizations to achieve strategic leadership in their respective markets.
“Many friends and colleagues have pointed at a gap in understanding the complexities of our regulatory landscape,” said Dan Juhlin, Principal Consultant of JRPC. With over 15 years of experience in GIS/remote sensing and more than a decade at the forefront of Canada’s RPAS industry, Dan Juhlin brings unparalleled end-to-end expertise to his consultancy.
JRPC provides tailored guidance on market entry strategies, regulatory navigation, spatially informed decision-making, and aerial/spatial data integration consulting. Some key benefits of working with JRPC include:
