    Has anyone written the Basic or Advanced Drone License Exam???

    I passed my Basic by studying the 900 series of rules and went over Don’s Drone on videos on YouTube, had to google a few guestions, but passed in about 30 min. My P3A is not approved for Advance so for now I will not write it

    Canadian Recreational Flyers
