S2E6 -Ignore This and You’re Flying a Liability: RPAS Maintenance Rules Every Advanced Pilot Must Follow

In Season 2, Episode 6 of Sky Commander Academy, we get into one of the most overlooked — and legally critical — parts of advanced drone operations: maintenance and system checks. Whether you're flying solo or managing a fleet, failing to document or perform proper maintenance can ground your drone, void your insurance, or lead to non-compliance with Transport Canada regulations.

This episode gives you a clear, practical framework for keeping your aircraft in top condition — and your operations audit-proof.

You’ll learn:

• What Transport Canada expects from RPAS pilots when it comes to maintenance and pre/post-flight checks

• The difference between routine checks, preventive maintenance, and corrective actions

• How to document your work in a maintenance logbook that meets compliance standards

• Tips for setting up a repeatable maintenance schedule across multiple drones

• What to check before every flight — and what NOT to ignore when something seems "off"

Whether you’re working toward your Advanced RPAS Certificate or already flying commercial missions, this episode helps you build the habits and systems of a true aviation professional.
