Before you launch, you need to know exactly what’s above you—and who owns it. In S3E7 of Sky Commander Academy, we deliver a full airspace refresher, walking you through Canada’s Classes A through G and breaking down the difference between controlled and uncontrolled zones.

In this episode:
🗺 Airspace classes explained – from Class A (high-level IFR-only) down to Class G (uncontrolled), and what they mean for RPAS pilots
📡 Controlled vs. uncontrolled – how ATC oversight changes your responsibilities and permissions
🚁 Special-use zones – restricted, advisory, and military areas every drone pilot must recognize
⚠️ Common traps – misreading charts, assuming “rural” means uncontrolled, or skipping airspace coordination steps
🎯 Exam must-knows – the exact airspace questions Transport Canada loves to test on Basic, Advanced, and Complex exams
💡 Pro tips – digital planning tools (NAV Drone, ForeFlight, SkyVector) that make staying legal and safe faster and easier

Airspace isn’t just theory—it’s the invisible architecture that protects aircraft separation. Mastering it means safer flights, fewer surprises, and full compliance with Transport Canada standards.
