S2E77 - Miss This, Lose Your Mission: The Pilot’s Guide to NOTAMs and NAV CANADA Authorization

What you don’t know about NOTAMs can ground your drone, fast.
And skipping NAV CANADA coordination? That’s how you end up on an enforcement list.

In S2E77 of Sky Commander Academy, we dive deep into Section 6.1.2: NOTAMs and NAV CANADA Coordination — turning the intimidating world of airspace communication into something you’ll actually master.

In this episode:

• 🗺️ What exactly is a NOTAM, and why do they matter for RPAS pilots?

• 🚫 Real-world examples of missions halted by missed airspace restrictions

• 📲 How to read and respond to NOTAMs the right way

• 📞 When and how to communicate with NAV CANADA (yes, you really do need to call sometimes!)

• ✅ Preflight tools to automate checks and stay compliant every time you fly

If you're flying near controlled airspace, major events, or unpredictable air traffic zones, this episode is your shield against costly mistakes.
