These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 8 parts and 79 topics.

It's Not That You Have a Bad Memory. It's That No One Put It in Order.

You've read about the Canadian airspace classes three times. You close the study guide...

...and you can't remember which class starts where. It was just line after line of text.

Class A from 18,000 ft, Class B from 12,500 ft, C to G down to the ground

Here, airspace is one page with one drawing, stacked in layers: Class A from 18,000 ft, Class B from 12,500 ft, and C to G going down to the ground.

And on the pages next to it, every topic gets its own drawing: control zones, Class F advisory and restricted areas, VNC and VTA charts, the CFS and the METAR.

First you understand why it's built that way. Then you remember the layers without trying.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Stop Memorizing Rules You Can't Picture:

THIS
  • Pages and pages of dense text
  • Rules without a single drawing
  • On exam day, you don't know where to start
Pursuant to the amendments to Part IX of the Canadian Aviation Regulations coming into force on November 4, 2025, the operation of remotely piloted aircraft systems having a maximum take-off weight greater than 25 kg but not exceeding 150 kg within visual line-of-sight is permitted under the advanced operations category, subject to the applicable declaration requirements; furthermore, provisions respecting sheltered operations, extended visual line-of-sight operations conducted with the assistance of a visual observer, and the Level 1 Complex operations category, together with the associated pilot certification, are hereby established.
FOR THIS
  • Every rule drawn
  • One topic per page, with the rules in boxes
  • You remember it because you've seen it

What If Every Topic Fit on a Single Page?

Picture this:

Instead of rereading half a page about the Canada Flight Supplement without being able to picture it...

...you open the page and find a real CFS entry broken down piece by piece, with what each line tells you before you fly.

27012G22KT: from 270° true, 12 knots, gusting 22 — decoded group by group.

And the 122 m altitude limit, the airspace classes, VNC and VTA charts, METARs and the four forces turn into drawings and tables you can read at a glance.

You stop repeating and start understanding.

That's exactly what Drone Pilot Certificate Canada Made Visual does. It's not "just another manual." It's 8 parts and 79 illustrated topics, and at the end there are 50 exam-style practice questions, each with the answer explained. Because what your brain sees in order, it remembers.

Because what your brain sees organized, it remembers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get the material?

After your purchase, you get an email at the address you enter at checkout, with Drone Pilot Certificate Canada Made Visual as a high-resolution PDF that you can read on your phone or print. The two bonus books, Exam and Flight Review Day Checklist and Illustrated Canadian Aviation Glossary, also come by email. If it doesn't arrive, check your spam folder or reply to us and we'll resend it.

Is it a monthly or one-time payment?

It's a one-time payment, charged in Canadian dollars. No installments and no subscription.

Who is it for?

It's for anyone preparing for the Transport Canada Basic or Advanced RPAS exam, and for the Advanced flight review, under the rules in force since November 4, 2025. It also works for pilots who already fly for clients and want a visual refresher. It covers Canadian rules only. The book doesn't give you a certificate: your pilot certificate comes only from Transport Canada, through the Drone Management Portal, once you pass the exam (plus the flight review for the Advanced).

What sources is it based on?

It's based on the Canadian Aviation Regulations Part IX with the rules in force since November 4, 2025, Standards 921 and 922, TP 15263 (Knowledge Requirements for Pilots of RPAS) and the TC AIM. It also uses NAV CANADA publications: the Canada Flight Supplement, VNC and VTA charts and NAV Drone.

Is it official Transport Canada material?

No. It's an independent illustrated study guide. Transport Canada and NAV CANADA did not publish, endorse or review it.

Does it replace ground school?

No. It's a study and review aid. It doesn't replace ground school, the flight review, your drone's manual or the official Transport Canada and NAV CANADA documents.

Are the practice questions the real exam questions?

No. The 50 questions were written for this book in the style of the exam, so you can practise. They aren't official Transport Canada questions.

Can I print it?

Yes. It's a high-resolution PDF, so you can print the whole book or just the pages you want to keep on hand, like the 5-step "Can I fly here?" routine.

What if I don't like it?

There's a 30-day guarantee: tell us what didn't work and we'll refund 100%. Just reply to the email you received with your purchase.

One Last Thing Before You Decide...

You don't have to reread the same page hoping it sticks this time.

You don't have to memorize airspace rules you can't picture.

And you definitely don't have to walk into the exam not knowing where to start.

There's an easier way. And it's one click away. Now it's your turn.
