Missing DJI Lito drones

Is it possible to get the new Lito drones added to the aircraft list?

Best drone app

Very well done app. After watch so many of you videos I finally got the app I wish I got it sooner.

Keeps crashing

I just purchased the app and when I go to create a flight plan the app crashes constantly. Please help.

Un outil indispensable

Je suis pilote professionnel de drone depuis 2016 et j’adore la convivialité de l’application Drone Pilot Canada. Celle-ci me permet de satisfaire aux exigences du Règlement de l’Aviation Canadien et de consulter directement les NOTAM qui pourraient restreindre mes opérations sans avoir à consulter de nombreux sites web. Merci Don et toute l’équipe! 🫡

Doesn’t sync between devices

I just got this, and as of version 3.5 there is no syncing between devices. I switch between my iPhone and iPad a lot, so this is a fairly significant disappointment (considering the price), and I wish I knew about this before. There is a workaround, using the backup recovery feature but it is far from ideal and gets messy real quick. The option to have Syncing my data via iCloud would be tremendously useful!

Excellent App

This is a must have if you are a drone pilot. Everything is easy to use and understandable. Gives you all the info you need to fly safely. All in one app!

Amazing Drone Flight App

Drone Pilot app is worth its weight in gold. The app does it all, pinpoints your location, shows you the aerodromes and heliports around you, tap on the aerodrome and instantly get all the info about it. You can store documents in the app and much more. It’s my go to app for all my Drone flights. It’s well worth the one time cost of $60 CAD.

Great App - Well worth the price

One small suggestion: Can you please add a field for operation temp range and max wind speed in the aircraft details section?

THE Must Have App for Drone Operations in Canada

I have used this app for two years for all my flights and all the flight reviews I’ve conducted. It is amazing! Can’t imagine operating without it!

An absolute must-have for Canadian operators

This app has everything you could want in one place. I would need at least 20 different folders, links, websites, etc. without it. The national parks feature is especially helpful as even the Canadian drone tool doesn’t offer that!

Ok but…

It contains lots of info but the UI is a bit clunky. A more refined look and feel would do wonders.
Also the file input/output could be easier to use.

Best App for Canadian pilots

This app had everything I needed to successfully pass the Transport Canada Advanced Drone Pilot Flight Review. From flight planning tools that output compliant reports that consolidate the information from the wide range of sources to robust customizable checklists and procedures that again, if used and followed, will lead to compliant operations and successful flights. The associated videos on YouTube make it easy to learn how to use the app to its fullest and to be confident in your processes. Can’t say enough good things about this app. 6 stars.

Great app but ….

This is a great app to place all of your documents and info in the app. Also has maps, phone numbers etc etc
The reason why i wrote but… : of this app can have a link to Nav Drone or be able to plan your flight and get it approved. Im sure there is a way to link the 2

Response from developer

We have been working with NAV Canada to allow for integration with NAV Drone for flight authorizations. Unfortunately this is not available yet.

Options missing.

The options for TC. And DJI sRPAS / sub250g Do not appear on the app. They used to but stopped recently. I tried to report the problem via app support but it says i don’t have the app. Anything I can do to fix this.
I got a response guite awhile ago. Was my lack of knowledge that caused the problem. I had the drone on one device which worked find but not registered on second device. Problem rectified.

Response from developer

The sRPAS / sub250 option will only appear if you have at least one drone in your list that has the Sub 250g option selected. The TC / DJI option will appear only if you have at least one DJI drone in your list. Hope that helps.

Great app but still room for improvement

This app has definitely had some thought out into it. Nicely laid out with plenty of documentation available to get you setup and going. Customizable checklists are huge for me!
Would be great though if the app listed all the air space levels above your flight location as this is huge when conducting site survey and flight plans to be able to understand what’s up there in the event of a verticals fly away. Currently the app only lists the airspace class at ground level. But I could have class C airspace 1700 ft above that. Important to document and present on flight reviews.

The font size in the pdf export of the site survey and flight plan could use a bit of clean up as my export had 3 different font sizes throughout the export.
If I’m pay $60 for this, I’d appreciate a clean exported copy for my records.
All around though a solid, well thought out app that covers the majority of what you need to get flying safely

Response from developer

In the event of a vertical flyaway, you should call the Area Control Centre for your FIR...no matter WHAT airspace is above you...so there is no need to clutter your Flight Plan with upper airspace details. The app's Emergency Button will guide you through who to call and what to say.

Love it!

Makes finding unrestricted areas sooooooo easy

Weather Radar

Would be great if we can get a future weather radar instead of a past .Fp at Tvfd

Great App!

This app contains everything a Canadian drone pilot needs for safe, legal flying. Customizable checklists are a huge plus! A suggestion for a future update…under flight logs, please add an “export all” function. Having to select all individual flights in order to export everything will be very tedious once a pilot has accumulated 50 flights (or 500 for that matter).

Well thought out and up to date!

Great app for anyone flying a drone in Canada. Easy to store certificates and license plus user manuals and other relevant documents. The checklists are comprehensive and customizable. A lot of thought went into this app.
