🎧 Think air traffic control is just for airline pilots? Think again.
If you plan to operate in controlled airspace, you need to speak the language of the skies.

In this crucial episode of Sky Commander Academy, we take you deep into Section 5.1.4 of the Advanced RPAS curriculum:
Advanced Airspace Coordination with ATC (Air Traffic Control).

Whether you're flying near a busy airport or through a control zone for inspection work, you’ll learn how to coordinate like a pro—not a hazard.

What you’ll get:
🛑 When and why you must contact ATC before flying
📞 How to request airspace access (including what to say and when)
📋 The exact info ATC wants from you—and what not to say
🧠 Real-world scenarios of good vs bad coordination
📡 Phraseology that keeps you professional and clear
✈️ How drone ops fit into the bigger picture of manned aviation

We’ll also tackle:
✅ NAV CANADA’s expectations
✅ Common ATC frustrations with RPAS pilots
✅ Tips for gaining trust and building rapport
✅ What happens if you violate controlled airspace

💬 If you’re serious about Advanced drone ops in Canada, this episode is non-negotiable.
Learn the etiquette, the protocols, and the pro moves that keep your missions greenlit.

🎧 Tune in now, then practice like your license depends on it—because it just might.
