Micro-Drones

If the drone that you want to fly weighs less than 250 g (0.55 lbs), then you don’t need a pilot certificate at all. Fly with caution, particularly when within 3 nautical miles (~5.6 Km) of an aerodrome, stay away from restricted airspace and don’t fly over people, especially at outdoor events. Avoid all traditional aircraft.

Basic Pilot Certificate

If you want to fly in uncontrolled airspace away from aerodromes and airports/heliports, you could take the RPAS “Drone” Ground School (Advanced) as a preparation for the on-line Transport Canada Basic Exam.

Once you have completed the exam, you’re good to go.

Advanced Pilot Certificate

If you want to fly in controlled airspace closer to aerodromes and airports, we recommend that you take both the RPAS “Drone” Ground School (Advanced) to prepare for the on-line Transport Canada Advanced Exam and the Flight Review Preparation to prepare for the Flight Review.

Once you have completed the on-line Transport Canada Advanced Exam, you need to complete an Advanced Flight Review. We can administer the Flight Review as we have been designated by TC. Select the Flight Review (Advanced) product below.

Level 1 Complex Pilot Certificate

Coming into force on November 4, 2025, the new Level 1 Complex Pilot Certificate will allow you to fly missions beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). The path starts with passing the Advanced Pilot Certificate on-line exam, taking an instructor-led Level 1 Complex course (see RPAS “Drone” Ground School (Lvl 1 Complex) below), passing the on-line Transport Canada Level 1 Complex Exam and then completing the Flight Review (Flight Review (Lvl 1 Complex)). Please note that the Level 1 Complex Ground School includes the Level 1 Complex flight review preparation. The only reason that you would want to take our stand-alone Level 1 Complex Flight Review Prep is if you took the ground school somewhere else (shudder!) and wanted a confidence-booster.

Restricted Operator Certificate – Aeronautical (ROC-A)

If you just want to get your radio certificate, purchase the Radio License item. You’ll get instant access to our course notes and other study material. Once you are comfortable with the material, give us a call to schedule the exam which can be done via video conference.
