Become a flight reviewer for drones: 4. Recency requirements

To keep your Flight Reviewer Rating, you will need to keep your skills up to date. If you let your skills lapse for more than 2 years, you may lose your certification. This cycle follows a recurring 2 year basis. For holders of the Flight Reviewer Rating, the cycle begins the day you receive your Flight Reviewer Rating.

You must be able to prove that you’ve retained your knowledge whenever you conduct a flight review. Standard 921.04 – Recency Requirements outlines acceptable activities, including:

  • attending an endorsed safety seminar by Transport Canada Civil Aviation
  • completing a recurrent drone training program
  • completing a self-paced study program endorsed by Transport Canada Civil Aviation
