 Authority to fly lower than 1000 feet above ground level is delegated to the Regional Director, Aviation Regulations, Transport Canada (Edmonton). Obtaining Transport Canada approval for helicopters, hot air balloons, ultra light or low-flying aircraft is the responsibility of the helicopter or charter aircraft company hired by the film production company. They will require a letter from The City of Calgary (Roads) stating that it has no (or has) objections to these flights. This letter will be prepared by the Calgary Film Office and will be sent directly to Transport Canada. Aviation liability insurance is required in the amount of $10 million with The City of Calgary named as an additional insured. In addition, City permission is required if an aircraft is to land and/or take off from a City-owned property, e.g. street, building, parking lot, or any of the sixteen park launch sites. This permission must be obtained from The City of Calgary (Roads) through the Film, Television & Creative Industries office. There are two exceptions to this requirement.
Note: Permission is required prior to using the Downtown Heliport. Contact the City of Calgary at 311 a minimum of one full working day in advance of the landing. Related Links Transport Canada Calgary International Airport |
