Why use a drone flight school
Drone flight schools offer courses to help you prepare for online exams and flight reviews. We recommend taking a course before attempting an online exam.
In-person flight review
You will need to pass an in-person flight review to receive your Pilot Certificate – Advanced Operations. You can book a flight review by contacting a drone flight school near you.
Special Flight Operations Certificate
You will still need to participate in drone pilot training to apply for a Special Flight Operations Certificate.
What you can expect
Training is specific to how you’ll use your drone. Topics may include:
- airspace classification and structure
- weather and notice to airmen (NOTAM) reporting services
- aeronautical charts and the Canada Flight Supplement
- relevant sections of the Canadian Aviation Regulations
For more information on what you may learn, read the Knowledge Requirements for Pilots of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems.
You may be charged a fee to complete a flight review or training course. Fees are set by the drone flight schools.
