Prohibition on Entering Restricted Airspace

In plain language

Because microdrones are legally considered aircraft, you cannot fly them into restricted airspace (such as military areas or forest fire zones) unless you have official permission.

Requirement as structured

You must not enter restricted airspace with a microdrone without prior permission.

Original regulatory text

All drones are considered aircraft under the Aeronautics Act and Canadian Aviation Regulations and are therefore prohibited to enter restricted airspace without permission.
