"Test score 94%. Passed with “ flying “ colours. I went through the course material slowly answering/reviewing all the questions. Then I wrote the Transport Canada exam. I finished the 90 minute exam in 40 minutes with a passing score of 94%. The course detail goes beyond what you need to pass the basic exam. I figure the course material covered about 30 of the 35 questions on the RPAS Basic Exam ensuring a passing grade. I answered the other 5 questions using a combination of google search and common sense. Only negative is that I may have acquired too much knowledge. Then again knowledge is power. I feel so powerful now."
If you are serious about passing the Transport Canada RPAS exam, this is the way to prepare for it efficiently. It’s a very well thought out and organized course with excellent diagrams and explanations. You can go through each lesson at your own pace and pick up where you left off on any of your iOS devices, because your data is stored in the cloud. You can take as many practice tests as you want until you feel confident enough to take the TC exam. It lets you focus on subjects that you are not very good on, so you can pull up you marks quickly. I used this over the past two weeks and then took the Transport Canada exam yesterday with a mark of 94%. . . . ."
All lessons and questions are created by certified instructors with thousands of hours of flight and training experience. Lessons include reading activities, stunning high resolution images, and targeted knowledge checks to convey the drone subject-matter knowledge needed to safely operate a drone and pass the exam.
"As a long time RC pilot with several hours of real flight training many years ago, I was looking forward to drone flying. This software really helped me as I wrote and passed the basic exam. I am a licensed ham operator and also have my marine and aeronautical radio licences, so I am interested in writing the advanced, and maybe doing some work. I am semi-retired from health care - your RPAS study app mades the process much easier. I also have the Drone app which is simply awesome. I certainly recommend this app to anyone who wants to learn everything to fly safely as a Basic or Advanced operator. There is a lot of material - especially for the advanced course, but it is user friendly and you will have ALL the appropriate reference material from the start. "
"[E]verything seems to be organized nicely so it is easy to navigate. There are a variety of lessons that look like they will prepare you well for taking the actual test. Before getting this app, I was pretty unsure where to find what I needed to study for taking the test. But now I have something excellent to work through to get me prepared. I’ve heard that the Advanced exam is very difficult, so I’m looking forward to working through this app and hopefully getting to the point very soon where I feel ready to take the exam. Overall, this app looks great, is highly organized, and is easy to use! Definitely recommend!"
"This is a very well made app. Everything is well thought and explained. You have a lot to learn and this app helped me a lot in understanding what’s all about flying and regulations. Didn’t finish all the stages and after a week I took the exam....the summer is so short in Canada. I passed!!!!!"
I just wanted you to know I passed the Advanced Drone exam this morning. Very happy here. ... I will highly recommend your exam tutorials to anyone i know who wants to write the Basic or Advanced RPAS exams.
