Flyy

Not quite. We don't hand out certificates - that's Transport Canada's job. This training preps you for the online Transport Canada multiple-choice exams (one for basic, one for advanced) and for the in-person assessment called a flight review that's required to get your advanced certification.

Flying a microdrone, that is, one that weighs less than 250 grams, doesn't require a certification. The Canadian Aviation Regulations state that you can't fly in restricted airspace or cause a hazard to other airspace users or people on the ground. It's helpful to have some knowledge and context so you know what might be considered a hazard and how to find restricted airspace. Our ground school for basic pilots is an excellent way to learn all this and more!

The drone police will show up at their door and...nah we're kidding. While there are absolutely cases where pilots are approached by enforcement while flying and asked to produce their documents, it's not a common occurrence unless you've - I mean your friend has - done something to warrant the attention. Avoiding hefty fines (up to $15000!) is one motivation for getting certified, but also shouldn't be your only. Gaining the knowledge on laws, weather, flight ops and more help you be a better pilot, too.

Check out our online flight training course to help you build your confidence and ability with your drone!

You do if your drone weighs more than 250g. Whether you need a basic or advanced certificate depends on where your yard is. If you're in controlled airspace or near an airport, advanced is the way to go.

Welcome! and you betcha! You'll still need to pass the online Transport Canada exam for the category of operations you plan on flying while here. If you'll be pursuing your advanced, a flight review is needed too.
