Flight Review FAQs
Where are Summit RPAS drone flight reviews conducted?
Summit RPAS conducts in-person Transport Canada Advanced RPAS flight reviews in Prince George and throughout Northern British Columbia. We offer flexible scheduling at designated local flight testing sites, or our certified flight reviewer can travel directly to your commercial location or job site for corporate teams.
What prerequisites do I need before booking my Advanced Flight Review?
You must pass the Transport Canada on-line RPAS Advanced Operations Exam and officially register your drone prior to your flight review. On the test day, you will need to bring your exam completion reference number, valid photo ID, drone registration certificate, and your site survey/flight planning documentation.
How long does an RPAS flight review take and what is involved?
A standard drone flight review is highly efficient and takes less than 1 hour to complete. The session is divided into two straightforward parts: a brief ground-based assessment (verifying your site survey, emergency checklists, and airspace knowledge) followed immediately by a practical flight assessment to demonstrate safe manual control and basic flight maneuvers.
How can I prepare to ensure I am fully ready to pass my Transport Canada Flight Review?
The best way to prepare is by enrolling in the Summit RPAS Advanced Flight Review Prep course. This course provides clear site survey templates, flight checklists, and step-by-step guidance on CARs Part IX regulations so you can walk into your practical test in complete confidence.
Who conducts the flight review?
All flight reviews are conducted directly by Steven Knowles, an authorized Transport Canada Advanced and L1CO Flight Reviewer.
