I received a call today from a Compliant Officer at Transport Canada, he stated he received a complaint about me that I was flying without an SFOC needed to ask me a few questions. He asked about a specific picture that I took of my granddaughter. I only post pictures that I own and try to show some variety of my inspections and a bit of fun stuff. Someone purposely went on my G+ page to dig up some dirt as so they thought. Apparently, the person who complained, new very specific regulations about SFOC process, a professional. I admit I am no expert but know enough, this person went out of their way to cause harm to me and my business, I can't understand why. I'm a one-man operation and at 62yrs old, I was tired of climbing on roofs, so I purchased a UAV, trained, studied, invested countless hours and money as many of us do to comply with all the regulations. Why this person targeted me, perhaps a competitor, maybe, but I doubt it.
I live in rural Alberta on 6 acres far from anything. Yes, when I took this picture I didn't think I needed an SFOC at the time, it was a beautiful day and just having fun with my granddaughter.
Once the officer confirmed my SFOC, he said "Carry On" and closed the complaint. I'm just hoping I didn't offend someone from my posts on this forum. It's very coincidental.
Let me know what you think of the photo. I've taken all my aerial photos down as I'm now paranoid.
By the way, this place is great, hats off to the minds who put it together.
