Become a Professional RPAS Visual Observer
Under Transport Canada’s new regulations, the Visual Observer (VO) is no longer just a "helper"—they are a trained, essential crew member. This is the perfect entry point for pilots looking to turn their hobby into a career.
Who This Is For

Basic Certificate Holders: You don’t need an Advanced certificate to work professionally. A pilot with a Basic certificate can earn money right now as a trained VO on commercial crews.
-
Career Starters: Ideal for those wanting paid, hands-on experience in complex operations.
What You’ll Be Able to Do
-
Unlock Complex Missions: Enable EVLOS (Extended Visual Line-of-Sight) and BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight) operations where a VO is a legal requirement.
-
Professional Crew Member: Act as the critical link for air traffic detection, ground safety, and emergency coordination.
-
Work with Heavy Lift: Support operations involving medium drones (up to 150kg) in industrial or cinematic settings.​
The Bottom Line: For EVLOS and BVLOS, a trained VO is mandatory.
This requirement creates a massive opportunity for Basic pilots to get hired for high-level jobs.
