Advanced drone pilot certification

TP15263 - Advanced Operations

Intensive instructor-led training delivered via videoconference over 4 consecutive days, designed to effectively prepare pilots for the Transport Canada Advanced Operations exam, in accordance with regulations in effect since November 2025.

The KoptR Image advanced operations drone pilot certificate training (condensed format) is an intensive professional program designed to prepare candidates to successfully pass the official Transport Canada exam (TP15263 - advanced operations) and to legally operate drones in more complex environments.

This training is delivered as a concentrated 4-day block via videoconference with a certified instructor. It is intended for individuals seeking a structured and guided learning experience in a condensed format, while maintaining a high level of rigor and technical depth.

The program combines approximately 32 hours of interactive theoretical instruction with the instructor, along with preparatory work and complementary exercises to be completed before or after the sessions, depending on the participant’s needs.

The content covers all knowledge areas required by Transport Canada:

  • Air law
  • Air traffic procedures
  • Human factors
  • Theory of flight
  • Meteorology
  • Drone systems
  • Navigation
  • Radiotelephony
  • Flight operations
  • Practical application in an advanced operations context
  • Integration of recent regulatory changes

Inclusions

The training includes unlimited access to a learning portal containing visual materials (presentations and videos), a reference manual of over 800 pages, supplementary online documents, access to up-to-date aeronautical publications (VFR charts and CFS), exercises, mini-tests and practice exams similar to the official Transport Canada exam. The ROC-A (Restricted Operator Certificate - Aeronautical) exam is included in this training (a value of $75 + taxes).
