Due to the increased popularity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), otherwise known as drones, Okanagan College will host an information session.
As a result of the increased use of drones, the use of the technology in a safe manner is of the utmost importance. In order to help people clarify the Canadian regulations, safe operation guidelines, and risk management of flying drones, the college will hold a free public information session.
In cooperation with the Kelowna and District Flying Club, the public session will take place on Tuesday, September 29th from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Kelowna campus lecture theatre. Those who are considering using drones for commercial purposes or as a hobby are encouraged to attend to learn the facts. Those new to drone technology can find out if obtaining a Special Flight Operation Certificate, as regulated by Transport Canada, is necessary based on the intended use.
Attendees can expect to hear from a panel of experts including representatives from Okanagan College, the Canadian Owners’ and Pilots Association, the RCMP, Nav Canada, and a commercial insurance agent. The session will be followed with a question and answer period.
While the event is free of charge, pre-registration is required. To register, visit www.kelownaflyingclub.com and follow the event link on the page.
