S3E30 – Next Horizon: The Future of Canadian Drone Ops — Phase 2 Reforms, UTM & AI
Description
The drone industry is accelerating—and Canada’s about to shift into a higher gear. In S3E30 of Sky Commander Academy, we look forward to Phase 2 reforms, Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems, and the rise of automation and AI in RPAS operations. If you want to fly not just today—but tomorrow—you need to know what’s coming.
In this episode:
📜 Phase 2 reforms unpacked — what Transport Canada has planned after November 2025, and how it will change access, permissions, and operational scope
🛰 UTM systems & integration — how drones will co-exist with manned aircraft in shared airspace management systems
🤖 Automation & AI in RPAS — autonomous path planning, predictive maintenance, collision avoidance, and decision augmentation
⚖ Regulatory alignment — how Canada will adopt or differ from US, EU, and global standards in Phase 2
📈 Technology roadmap — hardware, software, and network trends every pilot should watch (like dynamic geofencing, swarm ops, neural nets)
💡 Pro tips to stay future-ready — what pilots should train now to adapt effortlessly as the rules and tech evolve
The future isn’t just a possibility—it’s already taking shape. This episode gives you the foresight and practical insight to stay at the cutting edge of Canadian drone operations.
