About our Level 1 Complex RPAS Training

🚀⚡Level 1 Complex RPAS Course Description


This facilitated and directed, in-person, complex-level RPAS ground school program responds to the CAR Part IX regulatory changes made by Transport Canada in April 2025, and industry’s technology shift towards safe, effective, and efficient operations. Based directly on the TP 15530 Knowledge Requirements. 


This course is designed to provide the student with all of the federally-required knowledge to become a Complex Level 1 RPAS Pilot recognized by Transport Canada, and to legally operate a RPAS in low-risk BVLOS environments in Canada.

 

In order to be a legally-recognized Complex Level 1 RPAS pilot by Transport Canada, a passing mark on both the Complex Level 1 RPAS exam administered by Transport Canada, and an in-person Complex Level 1 Flight Review, is required to successfully obtain your Complex Level 1 RPAS Pilot Permit. Upon successful completion, this course gives the student the required knowledge to write the new, on-line Transport Canada exam and perform a flight review.

   

Additional Information


Student Self-Study Requirements: Approximately 20 hours of self-study outside of the class, in addition to the 80 hours of classroom instruction and field work, is advised to successfully pass the Transport Canada Level 1 Complex RPAS exam as well as the in-person Level 1 Complex Flight Review. Possession of either a successful Advanced RPAS Pilot Exam, or an Advanced Pilot Certificate is required and mandatory to complete a Level 1 Complex Flight Review.


Included in the cost of the in-person course is a 500+ page, full color digital and paper workbook, in addition to many FREE support and planning materials from Transport Canada and NAV Canada.


The course textbook, Unmanned 3, is about $90 and is available from Calgary Pilot Supply here. The textbook is highly recommended and referenced often during the course, but not mandatory. 


Students are highly encouraged to pick-up a recent copy of the Canada Flight Supplement (CFS) (about $20) and a VNC Terminal Area Chart (VTA) (about $20) for your use at home during the course. Both of these resources can also be purchased at Calgary Pilot Supply. A digital version of the CFS is available for purchase through NAV Canada, or with a subscription to an electronic flight bag (EFB), such as Foreflight. All Complex Level 1 RPAS pilots are required under the law to have a recent, valid copy of each of these documents, either paper or digital, so it’s a great idea to get them now and learn to use them during the course.  


The cost of the in-person Flight Review IS included in the cost of the course.
