S2E1 - Think You Know Drone Law? Think Again — What Every Advanced Pilot Must Understand in Canada


Listen Later

Welcome to Season 2 of Sky Commander Academy! We're kicking things off with a deep dive into the legal framework that governs advanced drone operations in Canada — because flying bigger, higher, or in controlled airspace means more rules, more risk, and way more responsibility.

In Episode 1, we break down the complex (and often misunderstood) Canadian drone laws that apply specifically to Advanced Operations — giving you the clarity you need to stay compliant and confident.

You’ll learn:

  • The key legal differences between Basic vs. Advanced drone operations

  • When you need special flight authorizations, SFOCs, or airspace access permissions

  • What it means to fly in controlled airspace — and how to do it legally

  • How Transport CanadaNAV CANADA, and other authorities factor into your flight plan

  • Real-world examples of legal mistakes that could cost you your certificate — or worse

If you're moving into Advanced drone operations, this episode lays the legal foundation you must understand before you go airborne.
