S2E43 - Talk Like a Pro, Fly Like a Boss: The RPAS Communication Skills That Prevent Accidents

In Season 2 Episode 43 of Sky Commander Academy, we break down one of the most mission-critical — and exam-tested — skills in advanced drone ops: Communication and Briefing. Whether you’re working solo or flying as part of a multi-person crew, your ability to brief clearly and communicate decisively can make or break your operation.

This isn’t just about radio lingo — it’s about clarity, coordination, and accountability.

You’ll learn:

• What makes an effective pre-flight briefing — and what you must include to meet Transport Canada expectations

• How to communicate roles, risks, and contingencies to your team or observers

• Why standard phraseology and real-time updates reduce confusion during live ops

• Communication breakdowns that have led to incidents — and how to avoid them

• What the Flight Reviewer will expect you to say and do before takeoff

Whether you're prepping for your Advanced RPAS Certificate, leading a mission, or building a safer flight culture, this episode helps you command with confidence — from first words to final call.
