Drone Delivery Canada (FLT-Cse) Flies in Canadian Northern Communities of Moose Factory and Moosonee, Ontario
Nov 16, '17 - NR
Drone Delivery Canada was granted permission from Transport Canada to test its drone delivery technology in the northern regions of Canada. DDC tested its drone delivery platform in the Moose Factory and Moosonee communities, where it completed a series of successful flights comprising distances of up to 2.12 kilometres, all while maintaining visual contact. Drone Delivery Canada's Drones operated in Class E airspace, which has hundreds of daily helicopter and aircraft flights taking place. While flying autonomously, Drone Delivery Canada seamlessly integrated into this busy airspace.
For these tests, Drone Delivery Canada's OCC (operations control centre) co-ordinated these flights with NAV Canada and Timmins FSS (flight service station) operating in VFR (visual flight rules). Multiple flights were made, all achieving 100-per-cent success rates while flying in some of Canada's most extreme weather conditions that included strong winds, snow and cold temperatures.
"We are extremely pleased with our test flights in the Moose Factory and Moosonee communities," commented Tony Di Benedetto, chief executive officer of Drone Delivery Canada. "I would like to thank all stakeholders, including the communities, the regulators, the local aviation community and Drone Delivery Canada's technical team, to allow this co-ordinated effort to take place and achieve very positive results for all. Our technology has shown positive results through these initial flights to be a viable infrastructure solution for Canada's North to help increase access and reduce logistics costs," added Mr. Di Benedetto.
Drone Delivery Canada will work under Transport Canada's guidance to continue to advance testing and development throughout the Canadian geography, including Moose Factory and Moosonee communities.
