When you fly Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS), communication is no longer optional—it’s the backbone of safety. In S3E13 of Sky Commander Academy, we dive into BVLOS Communications and Coordination, showing you how to keep your crew, Air Traffic Control (ATC), and NAV CANADA in sync so your flight stays safe and compliant.

In this episode:
👥 Crew communication – assigning roles, using clear callouts, and ensuring every team member knows the plan and contingencies
📡 Talking to ATC – when, how, and what to report during BVLOS flights in controlled airspace
🗺 NAV CANADA coordination – approvals, flight plan submissions, and keeping your mission aligned with national airspace management
⚠️ BVLOS-specific risks – what makes communication more critical when the drone is out of sight
🎯 Exam must-knows – the Transport Canada expectations for BVLOS coordination with crew and regulators
💡 Pro tips – building comms checklists, using redundancy (radio + digital), and rehearsing your communication flow before launch

BVLOS isn’t just about range—it’s about trust. Trust in your team, in ATC, and in the systems that keep the skies safe. Nail your communication protocols, and you’ll fly BVLOS missions with confidence and credibility.
