Safety & Compliance

Planned before we fly. Documented when we’re done.

Every Vexonix division — mapping, exterior cleaning and aerial media — runs on the same regulated flight framework and site-safety planning.

Credentials & framework

What governs every Vexonix flight.

Only verified statements appear here. Copies of pilot certification are available to clients on request.

  • Transport Canada pilot certificate — Advanced Operations

    Vexonix flight operations are led by a pilot holding a Transport Canada Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) pilot certificate for Advanced Operations.

  • Operations under Canadian Aviation Regulations, Part IX

    Every flight is planned and flown under the Canadian Aviation Regulations governing remotely piloted aircraft systems.

  • Controlled-airspace authorization through NAV CANADA

    When a site sits inside controlled airspace, authorization is requested from NAV CANADA before the flight — not on the day.

  • Structured mission planning and risk assessment

    Airspace, site hazards, people, weather and access are reviewed before any capture or application work is scheduled.

  • Written emergency response plan

    Operations are supported by a documented internal emergency response plan.

Before every operation

Five checks before anyone leaves the ground.

  1. Airspace check

    Airspace class and restrictions confirmed for the site; NAV CANADA authorization requested when the site is in controlled airspace.

  2. Site & hazard review

    Obstacles, power lines, cranes, trees, neighbouring structures, launch and landing areas.

  3. People & traffic

    Pedestrians, tenants, vehicles and entrances — with exclusion zones and timing planned around them.

  4. Weather & conditions

    Wind, precipitation and temperature checked against operating limits; work is rescheduled when conditions aren’t right.

  5. Brief & go / no-go

    The plan is confirmed on site before any flight. If something changes, the operation stops.

On site

Site operations for occupied buildings and active sites.

Especially for AQUA exterior cleaning, where buildings stay open and people keep moving.

How AQUA plans water, products and runoff →

  • Exclusion zones

    A marked exclusion zone below the work area, set up before any aerial work begins.

  • Scheduled around people

    Early mornings, weekends or closed zones. If an area can’t be controlled, we don’t fly over it.

  • Airspace and weather checks

    Airspace status is confirmed during assessment; work is planned around wind and weather on the day.

  • Surface-first method

    Low-pressure application on glass, test areas on sensitive or older surfaces, and pre-existing issues photographed before we start.

Data & confidentiality

Your site data stays yours.

Vexonix does not publish sensitive site information, exact coordinates, confidential project details or client-identifying information without approval. Sample material is sanitized before it is used on the website, in a portfolio, on social media or in sales demonstrations.

Deliverables are shared through private links and organized file packages. Website enquiries are handled as described in our Privacy notice.

Scope note: Vexonix provides aerial documentation, visual records and decision-support deliverables. Unless specifically agreed in writing and completed with the appropriate licensed professionals, deliverables are not legal land surveys, engineering certifications or substitutes for licensed inspection reports.
