Episode 10 - Don’t Fly Solo (Even When You Are): The Secret to Safer, Smarter Drone Missions

In Episode 10 of Sky Commander Academy, we explore why even solo pilots need to think like a team. Whether you’re coordinating with a visual observer or managing communication on a commercial shoot, mastering Crew Resource Management (CRM) is key to safer, more efficient RPAS operations — and passing your Basic RPAS Certificate exam.

You’ll learn:

• The critical role of Visual Observers — and how they protect you and your aircraft

• How to improve team communication and coordination in high-pressure or multi-drone scenarios

• Why CRM is more than a checkbox — it’s the difference between a close call and a clean flight

• What Transport Canada expects you to know about teamwork, even in solo operations

Whether you're flying with friends or working on a crewed mission, this episode will help you build stronger habits, better awareness, and a more professional mindset.
