Drone Seminar Airspace & Navigation- FREE

Have you ever thought about how much airspace rules, navigation systems, and mapping accuracy affect safe drone operations? Navigation is one of the most essential and often underestimated areas of aviation knowledge. It’s the study of how pilots determine position, plan routes, and comply with airspace requirements, and it’s a must-know subject for every RPAS pilot.

In this 3-hour live online seminar, you’ll uncover how coordinates, time zones, charts, and GPS technology directly impact drone flight safety. Our expert instructor will translate theory into real-world lessons that will improve your flight planning skills and give you the confidence to operate in complex environments.

We’ll begin by exploring the foundations of navigation — latitude, longitude, true vs. magnetic north, and how time zones impact planning. You’ll learn why magnetic variation matters, how to use aeronautical charts, and how to avoid common errors that lead to navigational drift.

Next, we’ll cover airspace rules and resources. You’ll see how to use NOTAMs, CFS, and navigation charts, and understand how flight planning resources like Nav Canada publications and ATC advisories connect directly to drone operations.

From there, we’ll dive into modern navigation systems — GNSS, GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS. You’ll see how satellites work together to provide positioning, what geomagnetic storms mean for your drone, and why augmentation systems like RTK improve accuracy in critical missions.

Finally, we’ll apply everything to real-world drone safety. From return-to-home accuracy to operating near terrain, buildings, and high-density areas, you’ll gain practical insight into how to plan and execute safe, professional drone operations every time.

We’ll close with a live Q&A session, giving you the chance to ask questions, share experiences, and leave with stronger navigation and airspace awareness for your RPAS flights.
