Short Course – Drone Piloting (SKM2)

In order to fly a drone under MCAR 2016 Regulation 140-144, all drone operators must obtain a remote pilot certificate from CAAM through the aid of an approved Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO). In a layman’s term, the remote pilot certification is like a driver’s license for a remote pilot. This certificate is introduced to ensure that before any drone takes off into the air, the remote pilot that is in charge of the drone understands the regulations, operating requirements and procedures for safely flying these drones. This certification entails both theory and practical training and requires prospective remote pilots to pass a written and practical exam. If you are looking to fly a drone, regardless of the purpose, you will need toobtain the remote pilot certificate from CAAM.
