Working in Indus.
Indus has an active private airfield in the middle of otherwise open uncontrolled farmland. A pilot who checks only for controlled airspace sees a clear result and misses the circuit traffic overhead entirely.
Local aerodrome activity is plotted alongside the airspace check, because uncontrolled does not mean unoccupied.
Light. Cultivation cycle governs the look; post-harvest is clearest for boundary and access work.
Terrain. Open agricultural land on the survey grid, with the Bow River corridor to the south-west providing the only relief.
Wind. Open prairie exposure, steady and unbroken across the section grid.
Airspace. Indus sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace, but a private aerodrome operates nearby and its circuit is plotted before any local flight. This is a corridor-level assessment; the specific address is confirmed against NAV Drone (opens in a new tab) before every flight.
On the ground. Rocky View County rules apply; launch is arranged on the subject parcel with the landowner's permission. About 30 minutes south-east of the Calgary base.

How an Indus shoot runs.
- 01Brief and scope. Indus lends itself to farms and ranch land and acreages and estates; the shot list follows the subject. Mobilisation is stated separately from the fee.
- 02Airspace, where the brief includes aerial work. Checked against NAV Drone from the address, not the postcode. Indus is class g uncontrolled, local aerodrome nearby, so authorisation is not normally required — but Kirkby Field (Indus) is 3 km away and its circuit is plotted regardless.
- 03Light and weather. Open prairie exposure, steady and unbroken across the section grid. Cultivation cycle governs the look; post-harvest is clearest for boundary and access work.
- 04Shoot day. About 30 minutes from the Calgary studio. Launch from the subject property with the owner's permission; rocky View County rules apply; launch is arranged on the subject parcel with the landowner's permission.
- 05Post-production and delivery. Edited, graded and finished for every format it will live in, delivered digitally — which is how owners of Indus property who live elsewhere can be served.
Indus questions, answered.
Can you fly a drone near Indus?
Yes. Indus sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace, so no NAV CANADA authorisation is normally required. A private aerodrome operates nearby, so its circuit is plotted on the flight plan before takeoff.
Does uncontrolled airspace mean there is no air traffic?
No, and that is a common and dangerous assumption. Uncontrolled means no clearance is required, not that nothing is flying. Private airfields like the one at Indus generate real circuit traffic in otherwise open airspace.
Indus is 8 km from Langdon.
Mobilisation is quoted from the Calgary studio, so a shoot in Indus and one 8 km away in Langdon are priced differently even when the subject is identical.
