Knowing what to expect when taking the Canadian RPAS (drone/RC-aircraft) Pilot Exams is half the battle: being prepared for the vast breadth of material and how the questions are formulated. In this video, I film myself taking the Advanced exam, paraphrasing the questions (it is illegal to share the actual questions or answers), discussing strategies for determining the correct answers, and suggesting sources of study material. While the main purpose of this video is to share the experience with new RPAS pilots, I also used the opportunity to gather real-life reactions on the exam questions and share that feedback with Transport Canada for future improvement of the exam question pool. For example, I noted two actual errors in the questions, and flagged 22% of the questions as inappropriate for drone pilots. They have already made exam question changes based upon my feedback! (I sent them an earlier version of the video).

Be sure to watch the end where I receive the results of the exam!!
