Why a Flight Review matters in Canada

  • Completing a flight review ensures you can safely operate in Canadian airspace, understand risks and are familiar with procedures.
  • Using RPAS Centre ensures you’re using a training provider aligned with Canadian regulations and can access our network of flight reviewers.
