In Episode 11 of Sky Commander Academy, we break down one of the most underestimated threats to your drone: the weather. Whether you're flying a quick mission or prepping for your Basic RPAS Certificate, understanding how the sky behaves is absolutely critical.

This episode takes you from clear skies to chaotic turbulence with practical insights every RPAS pilot needs to stay compliant — and in control.

You’ll learn:

• How the atmospheric layers affect your drone’s stability and signal performance

• The different cloud types and precipitation you’ll need to recognize — and avoid

• What causes wind and turbulence, and how to predict when they’ll strike mid-flight

• How to factor weather into your pre-flight checklist like a pro

Don't let an unexpected gust or storm ruin your day (or your drone). This episode gives you the weather knowledge to fly smarter and safer — just like Transport Canada expects.
