Navigation isn’t just about knowing where you are—it’s about knowing what’s around you, what’s restricted, and what’s coming your way. In S3E4 of Sky Commander Academy, we deliver a Navigation & Charts Refresher designed to sharpen your skills with VFR Navigation Charts (VNCs), NOTAMs, and the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS).

In this episode:
🗺 VNCs decoded – how to read chart symbols, interpret controlled/uncontrolled airspace, and measure safe distances
📑 NOTAMs made simple – how to find, filter, and apply Notices to Air Missions so you never launch into a restricted zone
📖 Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) – your one-stop manual for aerodromes, frequencies, and essential operational data
⚠️ Common mistakes – from misreading symbols to skipping temporary restrictions that can ground your flight
🎯 Exam focus – what Transport Canada expects you to know about charts, NOTAMs, and the CFS for Basic, Advanced, and Complex operations
💡 Pro tips – integrating digital tools (NAV Drone, ForeFlight, SkyVector) with traditional charts for next-level situational awareness

Navigation and charts aren’t just study topics—they’re the foundation of safe RPAS missions. Learn how to read the map, spot the traps, and keep your operations sharp, legal, and precise.
