What Is a Drone Flight Review in Canada?

A Drone Flight Review is a Transport Canada–required practical test for pilots seeking advanced operation privileges.
It ensures that you:

  • Understand airspace classifications and regulations
  • Can identify and manage in-flight risks
  • Know how to handle emergencies
  • Demonstrate safe, confident control of your RPAS
  • And more…

In short, it’s your final step to becoming a certified drone pilot for professional operations in Canada.

The Two Main Types of Drone Flight Reviews

1. Advanced Flight Review

This review is required after passing the Transport Canada Advanced Exam.
It’s for pilots operating in controlled airspace or near people.
