Priddis sits in the first real fold of the foothills, where the ground stops being prairie and starts having genuine relief. That relief hides property boundaries completely — a parcel can run over a ridge and out of sight from every point on the driveway.
An altitude pass flattens the terrain into a readable plan view while a lower orbit preserves the sense of the fold, and both go in the same delivery.
Priddis sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace south-west of the Springbank control zone. The northern parcels are confirmed individually. This is a corridor-level assessment; the specific address is confirmed against NAV Drone before every flight.
Genuine foothills relief — folded ridges and wooded draws, with parcels frequently running over more than one crest.
Ridge-and-draw wind behaviour, with sharp local variation over short distances.
Autumn colour in the draws gives the strongest separation; winter shows terrain shape most clearly under low sun.
Foothills County rules apply; Kananaskis provincial land begins further west and carries separate restrictions. About 35 minutes south-west of the Calgary base on Highway 22.

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 Priddis and Bragg Creek, De Winton, Okotoks — not a navigational chart. Distances are great-circle approximations from the coordinates on each location page.
Most Priddis work is acreage estate or resort terrain, and the shot list follows the subject. Mobilisation is stated separately from the fee.
Checked against NAV Drone from the address, not the postcode. Priddis is class g uncontrolled, so authorisation is not normally required — but Springbank Airport (CYBW) is 21 km away and its circuit is plotted regardless.
Ridge-and-draw wind behaviour, with sharp local variation over short distances. Autumn colour in the draws gives the strongest separation; winter shows terrain shape most clearly under low sun.
About 35 minutes from the Calgary base. Launch from the subject property with the owner's permission; foothills County rules apply; Kananaskis provincial land begins further west and carries separate restrictions.
Edited files delivered digitally — no attendance required at any stage, which is how out-of-province owners of Priddis property are served.
Yes. Priddis sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace south-west of the Springbank control zone, so no authorisation is normally required. Northern parcels closest to the boundary are confirmed individually.
It hides the parcel. Around Priddis a property can run over a ridge and be entirely invisible from the driveway. The delivery pairs a high plan view for boundaries with a lower orbit that keeps the sense of the terrain.
Mobilisation from the Calgary base is 35 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 Priddis and one 19 km away in Bragg Creek are priced differently even when the subject is identical.
