Episode 7 - Drone Emergencies EXPLAINED: What Every Pilot Must Know Before Losing Control!


Listen Later

In Episode 7 of Sky Commander Academy, we tackle what could make or break your mission when things go wrong: your drone’s emergency systems. From sudden signal loss to airspace violations, smart RPAS pilots don’t just hope for the best — they prepare for the worst.

This episode breaks down the essential safety features built into modern drones and explains exactly what Transport Canada expects you to know for the Basic RPAS Certificate.

You’ll learn:

  • How Return-to-Home (RTH) really works — and why it sometimes fails

  • What Fail-safe settings you should activate before every flight

  • How Geofencing can save your drone — or stop your mission cold

  • Why understanding these systems is critical not just for the exam, but for real-world flying

If you’ve ever asked, “What happens if I lose control of my drone?” — this episode has the answers.
