Listen Later

In Episode 23 of Sky Commander Academy, we tune into one of the most intimidating — and important — parts of drone operations: radio communication. Whether you're monitoring ATC traffic or coordinating with other airspace users, knowing how to listen, speak, and report like a professional can set you apart — and keep you compliant with Transport Canada regulations.

Even if you're not using a radio daily, this knowledge is essential for your Basic RPAS Certificate and future advanced operations.

You’ll learn:

  • How to effectively listen to Air Traffic Control (ATC) — and why that skill matters even in uncontrolled airspace

  • The correct phraseology and pronunciation used in aviation — so you sound sharp and are clearly understood

  • When and how to make position reports, plus the communication etiquette that keeps the skies safe

  • Key radio procedures Transport Canada expects you to know for legal and professional RPAS operation

Whether you're on the airwaves or just preparing for more complex airspace, this episode helps you speak the language of the sky with confidence.
