Legacy ends not at a fence line but at a fall of ground — the community's edge drops toward Pine Creek, and the Legacy Environmental Reserve keeps that slope unbuilt. A reserve-backing lot and an interior lot look identical from the street, so ground photography erases the exact difference the seller paid a premium for at purchase.
A boundary-line orbit along the reserve edge, or a rising reveal off the lot toward Pine Creek, puts that fall of land into the frame — delivered in the standard turnaround.
In uncontrolled Class G airspace about 11 km from Kirkby Field (Indus), Legacy lies outside the charted Calgary-area control zones, and no authorisation is normally required. Flight plans here also keep clear of South Health Campus heliport, operating about 3 km away. The specific site and altitude are confirmed against NAV Drone before every flight. This is a corridor-level assessment; the specific address is confirmed against NAV Drone before every flight.
New-build grid on high prairie at the city's southern edge, falling away to Pine Creek along the community's rim, where the Legacy Environmental Reserve holds the slope as open ground.
Chinook belt, and the southern edge is fully exposed to it. The Pine Creek ravine can bend gusts along its own line, so the reserve edge is flown with more margin than the interior streets.
Green-up reaches the reserve grasses before the new lawns, and autumn browns them first — the shoulder seasons are when the reserve edge reads most distinctly. North-facing ravine slopes hold snow after the grid is clear.
City of Calgary bylaws restrict launching and landing in municipal parks and reserves, so takeoff is planned from private property with the owner's permission. About 30 minutes from the base — still a single-trip booking, and it pairs efficiently with Walden, Seton or Chaparral on the same run south.
These sit inside or immediately adjacent to Legacy and are checked on every sortie. None of them is visible from a map at driveway scale, which is why the address is confirmed against NAV Drone rather than assumed from the postcode.

Advanced certificate
Transport Canada requires a Pilot Certificate for Advanced Operations to fly a remotely piloted aircraft in controlled airspace or near bystanders.
Most of Calgary sits inside the CYYC control zone. An operator without this certificate cannot legally fly the majority of addresses in the city.

Relative positions of Legacy and Walden, Seton, Chaparral — not a navigational chart. Distances are great-circle approximations from the coordinates on each location page.
Most Legacy work is new build subdivision or construction progress, and the shot list follows the subject. Mobilisation is stated separately from the fee.
Checked against NAV Drone from the address, not the postcode. Legacy is class g uncontrolled, so authorisation is not normally required — but Kirkby Field (Indus) is 11 km away and its circuit is plotted regardless.

About 30 minutes from the Calgary base. Launch from the subject property with the owner's permission; city of Calgary bylaws restrict launching and landing in municipal parks and reserves, so takeoff is planned from private property with the owner's permission.
Edited files delivered digitally — no attendance required at any stage, which is how out-of-province owners of Legacy property are served.
Few. Legacy lies in uncontrolled Class G airspace outside the charted Calgary control zones, about 11 km from Kirkby Field at Indus, so no authorisation is normally required. The South Health Campus heliport operates about 3 km away; flight plans keep clear of its approaches, and every site is confirmed against NAV Drone first.
Yes — that is the frame Legacy sellers usually need. A boundary-line orbit or an elevated frame over the lot places the fence line against the Legacy Environmental Reserve and the Pine Creek slope beyond it, which is a relationship no ground-level photograph can establish.
South Health Campus heliport. Each sits inside or immediately adjacent to Legacy and is plotted before every sortie. In uncontrolled Class G airspace about 11 km from Kirkby Field (Indus), Legacy lies outside the charted Calgary-area control zones, and no authorisation is normally required. Flight plans here also keep clear of South Health Campus heliport, operating about 3 km away. The specific site and altitude are confirmed against NAV Drone before every flight.
Mobilisation from the Calgary base is 30 minutes. Authorisation is not normally required here, so the binding constraint is the weather window rather than paperwork. Reply within one business day on any enquiry.
Mobilisation is quoted from the Calgary base, so a shoot in Legacy and one 3 km away in Walden are priced differently even when the subject is identical.
