In Episode 9 of Sky Commander Academy, we’re talking about something most drone pilots don’t want to admit — your fitness to fly. This episode unpacks how alcohol, drugs, medications, and even lack of sleep can silently sabotage your decision-making, reaction time, and legal compliance.

This isn’t just about staying safe — it’s about staying certified.

You’ll learn:

• Why flying under the influence — even from a night out — could get you grounded

• What medications can impair your performance (and what you must disclose)

• How to assess your own alertness and reaction time before each flight

• The rules and expectations from Transport Canada regarding fitness for RPAS operations

Whether you're prepping for your Basic RPAS Certificate or just want to fly with confidence, this episode helps you stay sharp, legal, and air-ready.
