In Episode 15 of Sky Commander Academy, we clear the air on one of the most confusing — and critical — topics for Canadian drone pilots: airspace classification. Whether you’re prepping for your Basic RPAS Certificate or just want to stay legal, this episode will teach you how to read the skies before you fly into restricted territory.
With real-world examples and simple breakdowns, we’ll help you navigate Canada’s airspace system like a pro.
You’ll learn:
The differences between Airspace Classes A through G — and which ones apply to drone pilots
How to tell the difference between Controlled and Uncontrolled Airspace (and where you're allowed to fly)
What Special Use Airspace is — and how to avoid accidentally breaking federal rules
What Transport Canada wants you to know to stay compliant and safe
Flying a drone isn’t just about line of sight — it’s about knowing what invisible boundaries are above your head. This episode gives you the clarity to fly confidently and legally.
