Flying a drone isn’t just about where it goes—it’s about what you see, process, and anticipate in real time.

In S2E82 of Sky Commander Academy, we break down Section 6.2.2: Maintaining VLOS and Situational Awareness, showing you how to keep your aircraft in sight and your mind ahead of the mission.

In this episode:
👁 Why VLOS (Visual Line of Sight) isn’t just a Transport Canada rule—it’s your first layer of safety
🌐 Expanding your situational awareness bubble to detect risks before they become threats
🛰 Techniques to track your aircraft even in busy or visually cluttered environments
🤝 How to coordinate with Visual Observers for maximum awareness
🧠 Pro mental strategies to process multiple inputs without tunnel vision
🚨 Spotting and reacting to changes in weather, air traffic, and ground activity—before they impact your mission

Losing sight of your RPAS is more than a regulatory violation—it’s a fast track to accidents, collisions, and mission failure. Learn how to keep your eyes, mind, and aircraft aligned so you can fly safer, smarter, and more confidently.
