Questions?
what certification and instruction are needed to operate Agriculture Drones?
An RPAS Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations from Transport Canada is needed to start. We offer intensive classes and review to get you in the air asap.
Training on heavy lift agriculture drones is highly recommended to ensure safety and efficiency in operations. Ask Us!
What are the benefits to BC Growers of using Ag drones ?
- Superior Canopy Penetration: The powerful downwash from propellers pushes droplets into the center of dense foliage, ensuring thorough coverage on both sides of grape leaves and deep within fruit trees.
- Precision Spraying in Difficult Terrain: Drones can easily navigate steep hillsides (up to 50 degrees) and narrow rows that are dangerous or inaccessible for tractors.
- Elimination of Soil Compaction: Unlike heavy ground rigs, drones have zero impact on the soil, preserving root health and allowing for spraying immediately after rain when fields are too muddy for tractors.
- Optimized Resource Use: Targeted “spot spraying” based on high-resolution maps can reduce chemical and water usage by 20–35%.
- Harvest & Yield Management: AI-powered mapping can automatically count fruit clusters or analyze ripeness, helping growers split blocks into specific harvest zones for maximum wine quality.
how many acres can EA drones cover per hour?
Coverage depends on the model and the application rate (gallons per acre). On average, modern spray drones can cover 25 to 50 acres per hour. Factors like field shape, accessibility, and the time required for battery swaps and tank refills will impact these rates.
How long does a drone battery last over its lifetime?
Most intelligent flight batteries are rated for 1,000 to 1,500 charge cycles. If maintained properly (not stored at 0% or 100% for long periods), a set of batteries can last for multiple seasons before needing replacement.
What is the expected Return on Investment (ROI)?
Many growers find that a drone can pay for itself in just one to two seasons. Owners can save approximately $10 per acre compared to traditional tractor application costs, while custom service providers can recover their initial investment in as little as 4–6 weeks by charging competitive per-acre fees.
How accurate is drone spraying compared to a Ground Rig??
Drones offer centimeter-level accuracy using RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) GPS. They provide better “under-leaf” coverage because the downward draft from the propellers moves the foliage as they pass. This precision often allows for a 20–30% reduction in chemical usage.
Should I buy a drone or hire a custom service?
Buying is cost-effective for farms spraying at least 1,000 acres annually. However, for smaller operations or those who do not want to manage technical maintenance and licensing, hiring a drone-as-a-service provider is a low-risk way to access the technology. Ask Us!
What inputs are permitted to be applied by UAVs in Canada?
Currently, you can only spray products where the label explicitly mentions “RPAS” or “Remotely Piloted Aircraft System”. However, a proposed policy (PRO2026-01) aims to allow drones to apply any product already registered for conventional aerial application.
