S2E18 - Who’s Watching Your Drone? How Transport Canada Oversees RPAS Pilots (and What They Look For)

In Season 2, Episode 18 of Sky Commander Academy, we shine a light on the other side of your drone operations — Transport Canada’s oversight role. If you’re flying Advanced missions or building a professional RPAS program, understanding how Transport Canada monitors, inspects, and enforces RPAS compliance is essential.

This episode helps you prepare for that oversight — so when (not if) Transport Canada comes calling, your documentation and practices are ready.

You’ll learn:

• The different types of oversight activities Transport Canada uses to monitor RPAS pilots and operators

• What triggers an inspection, audit, or investigation — and what you can expect during the process

• The role of flight logs, maintenance records, site assessments, and operational procedures in demonstrating compliance

• How to prepare your RPAS operations to withstand scrutiny and pass oversight with flying colours

• Real-world examples of oversight actions and lessons learned from Canadian operators

Whether you’re a solo pilot or managing a large drone program, this episode ensures you stay on Transport Canada’s good side — and out of the enforcement spotlight.
