S2E33 - Geofencing: Your Drone’s Invisible Barrier — or Its Biggest Risk?

In Season 2, Episode 33 of Sky Commander Academy, we dive into one of the most misunderstood features in drone safety tech: Geofencing. While it’s designed to keep you out of trouble, geofencing can also ground your drone unexpectedly — or worse, interfere with mission-critical flights.

Whether you’re prepping for the Advanced RPAS Certificate or flying high-risk commercial operations, this episode explains how to work with geofencing — not against it.

You’ll learn:

• What geofencing actually is — and how it functions across different drone platforms

• The difference between soft fences, hard fences, and pilot override zones

• Why relying on geofencing alone won’t keep you compliant with Transport Canada airspace rules

• How to identify, plan around, and pre-authorize flights in geofenced areas

• Real-world case studies of both geofencing saves and unintended fails — and what caused them

Fly smarter. Avoid frustration. And get your head around the digital walls that define your RPAS freedom.
