Boundary Notes:

* The mapped boundary covers airport property operated by Aéroports de Montréal (ADM).
* Additional restrictions apply throughout the controlled airspace surrounding CYUL as shown on the NAV Drone map.
* Exact airspace limits should be verified using the NAV Drone map because authorization zones may extend beyond airport property boundaries.

Exceptions:

* Operations authorized by NAV CANADA.
* Operations approved by the airport operator where required.
* Government, emergency, law-enforcement, and other specially authorized operations.

Source Notes:
ADM states that flying a drone on YUL airport territory is forbidden without authorization. Transport Canada and NAV CANADA require authorization for drone operations in the controlled airspace surrounding CYUL. These sources establish that restrictions apply both to airport property and to the surrounding controlled airspace.
