Advanced Flight Certificate & Flight Review

Are you ready to get your Advanced drone pilot certificate from Transport Canada?

The Transport Canada Advanced exam currently has over 1,500 questions in their database. “Transport Canada is going to have 2,500 questions by the end of 2020,” according to a Transport Canada official in Ottawa.

The questions on the Transport Canada Advanced Drone pilot exam have been randomly selected from the Transport Canada Commercial pilots course per Transport Canada Ottawa.

The exams require us to learn how manned aviation operates and the rules they operate under when in controlled airspace. We hope this makes sense that your curriculum should be written by Transport Canada licensed ATP (airline transport pilots) and Transport Canada Flight instructors who have experience flying in Canadian and International Controlled airspace.

The Canadian Drone Institute can help you or your company obtain your Transport Canada Advanced Drone pilot certificate and if required, your Special Flight Operations Certificate for BVLOS.

Our online and on site courses are the only course in Canada written by licensed Transport Canada Airline Transport pilots and retired Transport Canada ground school instructors with Drone flight experience.
