Drone Courses FAQs
Do Summit RPAS ground school courses prepare me for official Transport Canada exams?
Yes, Summit RPAS online ground school courses are specifically designed to help you pass the official Transport Canada RPAS exams. Our curriculum strictly covers all knowledge requirements defined under Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) Part IX, including airspace classification, weather, navigation, human factors, and flight operations.
Is the drone ground school training self-paced or live?
This course features 20 hours of live, interactive virtual instruction led directly by an experienced college instructor. Unlike passive video platforms, our live format enables real-time Q&A, interactive site-planning labs, and specialized guest lectures from veteran manned aviation pilots.
What makes Summit RPAS drone training different from other flight schools?
Summit RPAS courses are designed by an experienced college instructor and active Transport Canada RPAS Flight Reviewer using practical, scenario-based training. Instead of slogging through dry, unengaging study guides, our curriculum incorporates real-world aviation scenarios and proven adult-learning methods to translate complex regulations into engaging, easy-to-digest lessons that maximize long-term retention and exam pass rates.
Do I need to complete ground school before taking my Flight Review?
It depends on the certification level you are pursuing. For standard Advanced RPAS operations, formal ground school is not legally required. Our Advanced Exam Prep provides the comprehensive knowledge needed to pass the Transport Canada Small Advanced exam before your flight review. However, for Level 1 Complex Operations (L1CO), Transport Canada mandates completion of a certified 20-hour ground school course before you are eligible to write the L1CO exam and schedule your flight review.
