In Episode 23 of Sky Commander Academy, we tune into one of the most intimidating — and important — parts of drone operations: radio communication. Whether you're monitoring ATC traffic or coordinating with other airspace users, knowing how to listen, speak, and report like a professional can set you apart — and keep you compliant with Transport Canada regulations.
Even if you're not using a radio daily, this knowledge is essential for your Basic RPAS Certificate and future advanced operations.
You’ll learn:
How to effectively listen to Air Traffic Control (ATC) — and why that skill matters even in uncontrolled airspace
The correct phraseology and pronunciation used in aviation — so you sound sharp and are clearly understood
When and how to make position reports, plus the communication etiquette that keeps the skies safe
Key radio procedures Transport Canada expects you to know for legal and professional RPAS operation
Whether you're on the airwaves or just preparing for more complex airspace, this episode helps you speak the language of the sky with confidence.

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.
