In Canada, RPAS licences don't expire but when you fly, you must have proof you completed a recency activity within the past 24 months. ⁠
⁠
Recency activities include:⁠
1. Retaking and passing either the Small Basic Exam or the Small Advanced Exam. ✍️⁠
2. Passing a Flight Review📝⁠
3. Completing any one of the following training activities:⁠
- a safety seminar endorsed by Transport Canada Civil Aviation⁠
- a drone recurrent training program from a drone flight school - like us! ⁠
- a Transport Canada endorsed self-paced study program⁠
⁠
In an ever-changing industry, recency activities help keep your knowledge fresh and up to date, without you having to re-certify! 😎⁠
⁠
Have questions? Send us a message or visit our "Keeping your RPAS License Up to Date" blog post.⁠

Ever wondered about the wild world of drones and what they're up to? 😵‍💫⁠
⁠
Check out these four drone types—it's like a zoo up there!🦁⁠
⁠
🎛️ Multi-rotor (pictured): These range from three to eight rotors (yeah, octocopters!), perfect for snapping stunning aerial photos or mapping out your next adventure.⁠
⁠
🚁 Single-rotor: Picture a mini-helicopter buzzing around. Great for intricate aerial mapping, keeping an eye on things, and heroic search and rescue missions.⁠
⁠
✈️ Fixed Wing: They're like tiny airplanes, gracefully cruising the skies for long-distance deliveries or sweeping aerial surveys with style.⁠
⁠
☯️ Fixed-Wing Hybrid VTOL: Imagine a drone that's part helicopter, part airplane. It takes off vertically, then zooms horizontally, making it the ultimate multitasker in the realm of drones.⁠
⁠
While these are the main types of drones out there, you can also differentiate drones by function or ability! ⁠

Flying your drone can be a thrill, but it’s important to know where and when to fly to avoid a fine or endangering someone! Here’s the lowdown on the essentials for Basic Operations:⁠
⁠
- Keep your drone below 400 ft and at least 30m away from people (no sneaky selfies from above!).🙅‍♀️🤳⁠
⁠
- Stay 1.9km away from heliports and 5.6km from airports.🛫🚁⁠
⁠
- Steer clear of emergency scenes, public events, national parks, and forest fires—your drone isn't a firefighter or a party crasher.🌲🔥⁠
⁠
And there’s plenty more to know! If you’re confused about where to fly or your looking for Advanced Operations regulations, just ask us!😎⁠
