What is an SFOC, and do I need one?

An SFOC (Special Flight Operations Certificate) is Transport Canada authorization for operations beyond standard rules—e.g., flying over people, above 400 ft AGL, BVLOS, or other special use cases. Most projects don’t need one, and if they do, Flight 77 obtains it and any municipal permits on your behalf.
