Basic Drone License Canada, Advanced Drone License Canada, and Flight Review FAQ
Answers to common questions about Canadian RPAS certification paths, practice exams, and flight review preparation.
Basic Drone License Canada
A Basic RPAS pilot certificate is commonly used by pilots who fly in lower-risk conditions, such as uncontrolled airspace and away from bystanders.
Pacific Drone helps Basic candidates review the knowledge areas tested in Canada, practice exam-style questions, and understand why each answer is right or wrong.
- Best for new pilots building a legal foundation.
- Covers air law, flight operations, weather, human factors, navigation, and aircraft systems.
- Practice is educational and does not guarantee passing the official Transport Canada exam.
Advanced Drone License Canada
An Advanced RPAS pilot certificate is for pilots who need broader operating privileges, including controlled airspace operations when properly authorized.
Pacific Drone Advanced preparation focuses on the higher-risk topics pilots need to understand before moving beyond Basic operations.
- Useful for commercial, inspection, media, survey, and operational pilots.
- Includes controlled airspace, communications, site surveys, operations near people, and risk management.
- Advanced privileges still depend on current regulations, airspace authorization, aircraft eligibility, and safe operating decisions.
Flight Review
A flight review is a practical evaluation for Advanced RPAS pilots. It helps confirm that a pilot can apply procedures, safety checks, and decision-making in a practical setting.
Pacific Drone can help pilots prepare by reviewing expectations, emergency procedures, operational planning, and common weak areas before the scheduled review.

- Bring required identification, pilot certificate information, and aircraft documentation when applicable.
- Booking, refund, and cancellation terms are described in the Refund Policy.
