N-FLIGHT Data, a Canadian leader in advanced drone operations, in concert with senseFly – the global leader in fixed wing drones, local geomatics experts Benchmark Geomatics, and the Okotoks Air Ranch Airport successfully teamed up for a first at a Canadian airport: conducting a midday, GNSS RTK drone survey of the airport and surrounding residential community, over top of people not part of the operation and while manned aircraft were taking off, landing, and entering the aerodrome circuit. There were no NOTAM’s filed, and there were no runways closed, as part of the operation.
