Description

The course has been completed by a Transport Canada certified RPAS pilot who is also a designated Flight Reviewer. After some SFOC certified pilots failed the Flight Review for missing some basic fundamental practices in RPAS operation, Carlos thought it was best to conduct a course to spell out the basic requirements to prevent further failures.

However taking this course is not a requirement for the Flight Review.

This course goes point by point through procedures which are to be demonstrated by prospective professional RPAS Advanced pilots. These skills learned in this lesson are good for all drones pilots whether novice or skilled. Students will come out of this lesson better equipped to do safe and professional drones flights. Attachments include professional drones checklists you can model and adjust so that can suit your own.

The course will equip students with the tools they need to pass the Flight Review portion of the RPAS qualification with ease.

Who this course is for:

RPAS Adanced candidates, student UAV pilots, Commercial UAV/drone pilots,
drone operators
unmanned aircraft systems pilots
drone hobby
real estate agents
survey experts
DJI Phantom owners
