Drone Flight Review: Your Step-by‐Step Guide
Drone Flight Review: Your Step-by‐Step Guide
Are you flying drones in Canada professionally or commercially? Then one of the most important steps is your Flight Review to demonstrate you’ve got the practical skills and meet regulatory requirements. At RPAS Centre, we make that process clear, straightforward, and supportive.
Why a Flight Review matters in Canada
Under Transport Canada regulations, for certain types of operations (e.g., advanced), you’ll need not just the theory exam but also a practical review.
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.
