Episode 28 - Lost? Not Anymore: Navigation Q&A That Every Canadian Drone Pilot Needs to Hear

In Episode 28 of Sky Commander Academy, we’re answering your most pressing questions about drone navigation — one of the most practical (and often misunderstood) parts of RPAS flight. This Q&A recap covers the essential lessons from Episodes 14 through 16, giving you a clear path through aeronautical charts, GPS use, and pre-flight procedures.

If you've ever been unsure where you can fly — or how to properly plan a flight — this episode is your roadmap.

We revisit:

• How to read and interpret VFR Navigation Charts (VNCs), including symbols and airspace boundaries

• The importance of site selection, surveying, and identifying hazards

• How GPS, GNSS, and mapping tools work — and when to trust (or double-check) them

• How to deal with magnetic interference and understand your compass

• Real listener questions, study strategies, and Transport Canada exam insights

Whether you're studying for the Basic RPAS Certificate or trying to sharpen your field skills, this episode will help you stay oriented — and compliant.
