Three free downloads for people buying or managing commercial drone work in Alberta. Each one exists because the same question kept coming up on calls: what does the deliverable actually look like, and what should I be checking before I hire anyone.
No charge, no sales call required, and nothing here is a brochure.
The downloads
2026 Alberta RPAS Compliance Checklist
A one-page checklist of the Transport Canada RPAS requirements an Alberta commercial operator, or the contractor you are about to hire, needs to be able to show you before a flight. Useful as a vendor screen and as a pre-flight sanity check on your own crew.
Who it is for: Anyone hiring or managing drone work on an Alberta site. Get the PDF
Sample Drone Stockpile Volume Report
A redacted real stockpile measurement report: cut and fill volumes, the orthomosaic, the contour surface and the accuracy statement. This is what the deliverable looks like, so you can see the format before you buy rather than after.
Who it is for: Aggregate, mining and earthworks buyers comparing quotes. Get the PDF
Solar Farm Inspection Report Template
A thermal inspection deliverable template aligned to IEC 61724-3 reporting practice: anomaly classes, per-string findings, thermal evidence and the site summary an asset manager actually needs to act on.
Who it is for: Solar asset managers and O&M teams specifying an inspection. Get the PDF
If you want the longer version
These downloads are deliberately short. The detail behind them lives in two places on this site:
- Buyer guides: the 2026 Alberta RPAS compliance guide and the drone stockpile measurement buyer's guide, both written for the person signing the purchase order rather than for a pilot.
- Articles: individual questions answered one at a time, including what to put in a drone survey RFP, what the deliverables are and what drives the price of a survey.
- Interactive tools: scope builders and estimators for working out what you actually need before you ask for a quote.
Something missing
If there is a template or sample you would find useful and it is not here, say so. Most of these were built because a client asked for one. Get in touch and it may well end up on this page.
