You can plan the perfect mission—but if you’re not cleared for the airspace, your drone isn’t leaving the ground.
In S2E79 of Sky Commander Academy, we break down Section 6.1.4: RPAS Airspace – Coordination and Approval Essentials, giving you the exact steps to stay legal, safe, and in good standing with NAV CANADA and other authorities.

📄 How to request airspace approvals—and get them fast
📱 The must-have tools (like NAV Drone) that take the guesswork out of flying legally
🔄 How to coordinate with ATC like a pro—whether you’re in controlled or special-use airspace
🕒 Common timing mistakes pilots make with requests—and how to avoid them
✅ Real-world tips for documenting approvals to cover yourself in post-flight audits
Whether you’re flying near an airport, in a heli corridor, or over a restricted zone, coordination is the difference between a mission and a violation. Master it, and you’ll be welcome in the skies anywhere.
