S2E24 - Lost Link, Lost Drone? Mastering Communication & Control Systems Before It’s Too Late

In Season 2, Episode 24 of Sky Commander Academy, we dive into one of the most mission-critical aspects of Advanced RPAS operations — your Communication and Control Systems. These systems form the digital tether between you and your drone — and when they fail, things go downhill fast.

This episode teaches you how your control links really work, what can interfere with them, and how to ensure your communication system is mission-ready and compliant with Transport Canada standards.

You’ll learn:

• The key components of modern RPAS communication and control systems

• How command and control links differ from video downlinks — and why that matters

• The role of frequency management and how to avoid unintentional interference

• Common causes of lost link scenarios — and how to build redundancy and recovery into your operations

• What Transport Canada expects you to understand for the Advanced RPAS Certificate Exam

If you’re flying long-range, BVLOS, or simply want to ensure rock-solid reliability in every mission, this episode helps you master the digital lifeline that keeps your drone safe — and under control.
