I swear… best app on my phone… THANK you Don… bought a Basic Training program for no reason other than to contribute :)

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks for the extra support!

[@Aerosnapper]

Wow - that’s an incredibly helpful set of features for any and every pilot. DPC sets a remarkable example of how good and helpful an app can be - NAV CANADA take note !

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Mike!

[@BrantAerials]

It's amazing that you can find new features that I can actually use! Thanks Don!

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Gary! It's a cool feature, and already saved me on a windy day!

[@gbower1]

Great job Don as usual in helping us all out.

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Gerry!

[@Nikonik66]

The checklist will be helpful. Many times I want to get up in the air quickly. I get comfortable thinking, "It's only a short flight." But, often I forget things like; return to home altitude, even when I'm around trees and power lines. One good rule of thumb, Assume with every flight that something may go wrong, and do what you can to take precautions if it does.

[@DonJoyce]

Great to hear! Even when I am in a huge rush, I repeat the mantra AIR...GROUND...WEATHER...PEOPLE.

[@bdseidler]

Just had a wind warning yesterday. Explained why it flew faster in one direction than the other. Did not conclude this until watching your video. One of theos, Awe, ha! Moments.

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Bernie!

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Hi Don, 🇨🇦Mr. Garry here from GBL-The Ole Church 5 Acre Homestead….We have 1 professionally created and recorded Drone video on our channel! Recorded by The Irving Group of Companies and used in their commercials. Glad to stop by and check you out! Hope to learn from this channel!

[@BobHerres]

Wow, that's truly unbelievable! Thank you so much. I already thought it was perfect! 🙂

[@DonJoyce]

Glad you like it!

[@sergebelair7577]

Hi Don It looks like what I proposed on this great drone applications. Serge

[@davestredulinsky]

Greetings Don. Some great new features for Drone Pilot Canada app. Thank you for the update.

[@DonJoyce]

You are very welcome, Dave!

[@PinetreeLine]

Cool features for sure Don! Awesome job Brother!

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Doug!

[@carlosamat]

excellent new features! thank you for the video Don

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Carlos!

[@PhantomHodgesDrone]

wow !!!!!!!!! it only gets better

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks!

[@derekcox6531]

Thanks Don! I will definitely get some good use out of the wind feature here in the foothills of Alberta. The new features look great.

[@DonJoyce]

Great to hear, Derek! Your feedback on how you find the wind feature will be appreciated.

[@WinnipegRealEstateVideos]

Great improvement, thanks.

[@DonJoyce]

Glad to hear!

[@GizmoDrones]

Great video production, excellent features in the app. Is it a Drone Pilot Association App? Very innovative.

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks, Brett! The Drone Pilot Canada app was developed by me with a developer partner. While DPAC (which I lead) endorses the app, it is not directly related to DPAC.

[@DavidStewart-jb7mo]

I check both the Temperature and Windspeed before flights using the appropriate devices. These new features are welcome. I also use FAA(USA) approved lights on every flight with my Autel EVO 2 so that I can see it further away. I can see the lights at over 2.5km at twilight and over 1km in daylight with the naked eye. If I am limited to flights less than 500m, then I will stop using my navigation lights. Comments?

[@DonJoyce]

Sounds good, David!

[@XFreedomXX]

Hi Don, I recently bought a diji avata 2 and stumbled upon your channel. Is there any forums that I can talk and learn more about drone flying especially in the GTA? Thanks

[@DonJoyce]

Congrats on the Avata 2 purchase! I would recommend the Drone Pilot Association of Canada (DPAC) Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/592682344571622

[@bigstickpilot]

I sure miss Percy

[@IreneB-su9fr]

Thank you Don. I am unsure about purchasing the app as I have what appears to be an unrecognized sub 250 g drone. Leastwise NAV Canada did not recognize the drone. Can the information in the app still be accessed without registering a sub drone? Thank you for all the information you provide to help to keep us safe.

[@DonJoyce]

Hi Irene! Yes, you can certainly use Drone Pilot Canada for unregistered drones. And it has special map features specifically to show the no-fly-zones for sub250g drones. Here's a link to the free downloadable user guide: www.pocketwatchpurveyor.com/collections/drone-study-guides/products/drone-pilot-c (not yet updated for today's new features, but will be soon!)

[@steveb013]

Hi don, do you have special price time to time for your application ?

[@DonJoyce]

Yes I do! EVERYDAY! The $60 price is a one-time fee that includes everything you see in the app today, plus regular data updates, new features, and support.

[@ankitranaankitrana1435]

Hlo sir

[@ministryofadventure]

Hi Don, Just downloaded the new version, now any time I try to create a new flight plan the app crashes on me. Specifically it will crash upon selecting the type of aircraft being used. Any tips? This is on a iPhone 11 if at makes any difference.

[@DonJoyce]

Thanks for reporting this. I have reproduced the issue. We'll have it fixed asap.

[@ministryofadventure]

Thanks Don!@@DonJoyce

[@ministryofadventure]

Updated the app and everything is working again! Thanks

[@marclattoni1959]

How does one update from 3.2.1 ?

[@DonJoyce]

I recommend you turn on automatic app updates via your Settings. Do NOT delete and re-install or you will lose your data!! Additional info in the User Guide: www.pocketwatchpurveyor.com/collections/drone-study-guides/products/drone-pilot-c

[@ministryofadventure]

For some reason my app didn't Auto update (it might be waiting for me to plug the phone in at night?) so I just searched for it in the App Store and the button that usually says "buy" switched to "update".

[@DonJoyce]

OK...weird...but if that worked, good.

[@ankitranaankitrana1435]

Hlo sir I am from India I want Canada I am a drone pilot can I get a job please guide 🙏

[@DonJoyce]

To fly a drone over 250g in Canada, you will need to become a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Until that time, you need to receive a Special Flight Authorization Certificate (SFOC) from Transport Canada as a foreign pilot: tc.canada.ca/fr/aviation/securite-drones/licence-pilote-drone/obtenir-autorisation-operations-speciales-drones
