In Episode 12 of Sky Commander Academy, we hand you the keys to reading the sky — literally. If you’re serious about passing your Basic RPAS Certificate or planning safe drone flights, knowing how to decode aviation weather reports isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical.

This episode breaks down the most important weather tools and notices RPAS pilots need to check before takeoff to avoid risky conditions and airspace violations.

You’ll learn:

  • How to quickly understand METARs and TAFs — even if you're not a full-on aviation geek

  • What NOTAMs are, how to find them, and why ignoring one could cost you your drone

  • The best online aviation weather tools for Canadian RPAS pilots — and how to use them effectively

  • What Transport Canada expects you to know about weather reports for safe and legal drone ops

If you’ve ever skipped the weather check or felt confused by all those acronyms — this episode will make you a better (and more compliant) pilot.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
