Flight Reviews

Passed the Advanced exam? Book your Transport Canada flight review with a certified reviewer in Winnipeg.

The flight review is the last step before your Advanced Operations certificate. Here's what to expect:

Pilots who have passed the Transport Canada Advanced exam and need a flight review.

Exam Passed: You've passed the Advanced exam. The review is the second requirement for the Advanced certificate.
Advanced Operations: You plan to fly in controlled airspace, near people or for commercial work.
First Try or Retake: Didn't pass last time? You can book again as soon as the next day.

Transport Canada requires these documents before a review can begin.

Pilot Certificate: Your current pilot certificate number.
Photo ID: Valid government-issued photo ID showing your name and date of birth.
Your Drone: A registered drone with its Certificate of Registration, plus charged batteries and controller.

The review tests whether you can operate your drone safely. Most of it can be practised ahead of time.

Study TP 15263: Appendix A of Transport Canada's TP 15263 lists every skill the reviewer will ask you to show.
Know Your Aircraft: Be ready to explain its limits, failsafes and lost-link behaviour.
Plan the Flight: Practise your site survey, pre-flight checks and emergency procedures out loud.
Prep Package: When you book, we send a candidate package to help you prepare.

The review covers paperwork, planning and a practical flight.
