Basic RPAS VS Advanced RPAS

Basic RPAS certification allows pilots to fly only in low-risk environments, such as uncontrolled airspace and well away from people, airports, and built-up areas. Pilots must maintain visual line of sight and follow strict distance rules from bystanders. This level is best suited for hobbyists, rural flying, and limited commercial work where operations are predictable and isolated.

Advanced RPAS certification is required for higher-risk and professional operations. It allows pilots to fly in controlled airspace, closer to people, and in urban environments with proper authorization. Advanced RPAS is essential for most commercial drone work in Canada, including real estate, construction, inspections, and infrastructure projects, and requires both a more advanced exam and a flight review.
