COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Canada, to obtain a drone pilot certificate for Level 1 Complex Operations (L1CO), you must complete a 20-hour theoretical training, pass Transport Canada’s Advanced and Level 1 Complex exams, and successfully complete an L1CO flight review. The L1CO flight review is a practical exam that evaluates a candidate’s ability to plan and carry out a drone flight in the context of advanced and Level 1 complex operations.
By the time candidates reach the L1CO flight review stage, many wonder how to properly prepare for the evaluation. This is why we created the online course “L1CO Flight Review Preparation”, which aims to clearly explain the elements that will be assessed during the evaluation and how to get ready for them. At Drone Académie, this course is included free of charge when you purchase an L1CO flight review.
In this course, you will learn how to plan and safely carry out both advanced and Level 1 complex operations in full compliance with the regulations. These concepts will be useful both for preparing for your L1CO flight review and for your daily operations.
The first section of the course covers the first part of the exam, namely flight planning. It is divided into two subsections. The first deals with planning an advanced operation, while the second focuses on planning a Level 1 complex operation. You will then be able to rely on the same approach to complete your flight plan.
The second section of the course covers the second part of the exam, the practical evaluation. It explains all the required skills, from your arrival at the flight site to the completion of the operation.
Note: If you have never flown a drone before, it is strongly recommended that you gain some piloting experience before attempting the L1CO flight review. If you would like to learn how to fly a drone and prepare for the practical evaluation with the help of an instructor, our practical course is the perfect fit.
