If you want to fly advanced operations in Canada, you’ll need more than stick skills—you’ll need the licence to talk. In S2E107 of Sky Commander Academy, we cover Section 8.1.5: Radio Operator Certificate (ROC-A) Prep and Testing, giving you the tools to confidently earn your ROC-A and step into the airwaves like a pro.
In this episode:
📖 What the ROC-A is – why every advanced RPAS pilot in Canada needs it
🗣 Core exam topics – frequencies, phonetic alphabet, ATC phraseology, emergency calls, and comms etiquette
🎧 Sample questions – the style of test prompts you’ll face and how to approach them
🚨 Common mistakes – what new pilots often get wrong on the ROC-A and how to avoid them
🛠 Study strategies – practical drills, flashcards, and practice radio listening to lock in the material
💡 Pro tips – how to rehearse transmissions out loud so you’re calm and clear when it counts
Passing the ROC-A isn’t just about memorization—it’s about building the confidence to communicate like an aviator. With the right prep, you’ll not only ace the test, but sound sharp and professional every time you key the mic.
