SFOC Application Template

Start your SFOC application organized, not from a blank page.

When your operation falls outside Basic, Advanced or Level 1 Complex rules, Transport Canada requires a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC). This 13-page template lays out the information an application needs, section by section, with guidance on how to use each part.

What's inside

• Applicant, company and pilot-in-command details
• RPAS, payload and ground control station information
• Description of the operation, operating area and operating window
• Airspace and special considerations
• Hazard identification, plus ground and air risk assessment
• Standard operating procedures: pre-flight, in-flight, post-flight and emergency
• Crew qualifications and training
• How-to-use guidance throughout

Who it's for: Operators planning advertised events, flights above 400 ft, higher-risk BVLOS or other special operations that need an SFOC.

Format: Instant download, 13-page fill-in template. Version 1.0.
