Revolutionizing BVLOS Drone Operations with RPAS Wilco 

Today marks the day Transport Canada’s new regulations come into effect, introducing Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations as outlined in TP15530.

According to Section 5, pilots must demonstrate the ability to use flight planning software and valid data sources.

RPAS Wilco v3.1.0 is your solution, built to keep your BVLOS missions fully compliant.

With advanced mapping tools, population density data, expanded licensing options, and more, we’re setting a new benchmark for professional drone operations.

New BVLOS Features in RPAS Wilco

✅ 1. Population Density Layer

The Population Density Layer helps pilots analyze population risks and plan safe BVLOS flight paths. This smart map overlay is critical for urban drone operations and compliance with aviation authority standards.

✅ 2. New Mission Types

RPAS Wilco now supports:

• BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight)

• EVLOS (Extended Visual Line of Sight)

• Sheltered Operations

Operators can plan and launch advanced missions in minutes — perfect for security, mapping, or emergency response.

✅ 3. Expanded License Options

Add the new Level 1 Complex Certificate license to your pilot profile, giving operators more freedom to scale operations and meet higher certification standards.

✅ 4. Drone Weight Categories

From sub-250g lightweight drones to large commercial RPAS, RPAS Wilco supports full-spectrum drone operations for every professional need.

✅ 5. Flexible Flight Area Design

Draw custom polygons and freehand flight paths directly on the map to be included in your site survey. This provides unmatched flexibility for complex environments such as industrial zones, airports, and dense urban areas.

✅ 6. Smarter Advisory System

Built for BVLOS missions, the new advisory engine delivers automated compliance warnings, taking into account drone weight categories and licensing (including L1C).

✅ 7. VNC & VTA Charts on the Map

Plan your flights with precision using VNC (VFR Navigation Chart) and VTA (VFR Terminal Area Chart) layers integrated directly into RPAS Wilco’s map.
