A flight review is one of the two knowledge requirements for conducting Advanced Operations or Level 1 Complex Operations with your drone or “Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)”.
Flight reviewers are Transport Canada-approved drone pilots who can administer a flight review, in this case Sky View Studio counts with top pilots to perform this task.
Note: Foreign pilots need to apply for their SFOC-RPAS before their flight review (this may take up to 30 working days).
Secure your Flight Review with authorized examiners.
