Kate Klassen
Kate is widely considered one of Canada’s top drone regulation experts. She has taught thousands of drone pilots in classroom and online, and is thrilled to be able to help you get your drone pilot certificate!
Kate is a commercial fixed-wing pilot, and a seasoned drone pilot & instructor. In fact, Kate even helped write the knowledge requirements for drone pilots! She sits on the board of Unmanned Systems Canada, and works closely with Transport Canada to make sure our courses and content is as up to date as possible.
I completed my Advanced Category certification through Coastal Drone. The Coastal Drone teaching materials, including a combination of videos, readings, and practice questions, were extremely professional and of the highest quality. Each section of the course (Basic and Advanced) walks you through the details you need to pass the Transport Canada exam (which is tough) and your flight review. Throughout the course, Coastal Drone provides the information you need to be a better RPAS pilot and to ensure you are flying in a safe and professional manner, which is essential for advancing the use of RPAS in personal, commercial and industry applications. If you are looking to complete a Basic or Advanced certification, I highly recommend Coastal Drone.
