About NPA 2026-005

On June 8, 2026, Transport Canada published a proposed regulatory amendment aimed at:

1. Safely integrating the growing number of RPAS into Canadian airspace;
2. Reducing the regulatory burden and applicability of Part IX for recreational RPAS organizations and their members; and
3. Creating more suitable mechanisms for Transport Canada to manage RPAS airspace access and communicate airspace access rules for RPAS pilots and operators.
