We could get asked questions about what levers control what items on a Helicopter and what we should do if we are piloting an airplane and the control tower tell us something and we see something else....what should we do? We who are not pilots and perhaps never even been close to a helicopter are expected to know this? I have to be vague as we are not allowed to quote questions verbatim. We have no study manual from Transport Canada so we are really at a loss as to what to study and know. Anyone with a private or commercial pilots license would certainly have a leg up on much of this exam.
As there should be . . .anyone flying drones commercially should know what General Aviation does and how they are expedcted to behave so they can fit in and some schools need to step up their game a bit. Some are definitely taking things seriously like The Canadian Drone Institute (Their HQ is Toronto but they have a strong Maritimes base) . . there are other great examples but . . see if your school offers the expertise these guys have . . if your chosen drone school is similar then you are likely in good hands. I'm not affiliated with them but I was impressed when I read their Advisory Board's background. Instructors with that kind of background that will deliver all the knowledge you need for any TC drone exam.
PS I did not mean that "your school" personally . . I mean anyone . .and the Restricted Radio issue is not part of the exam I think because you will not get access to Class C D airspace without it initially and VHF rules has it's own training and testing criteria anyway. Those examiners are already in place at most flying schools. I mentioned them because I had a chat with Greg there recently about training and review process so I checked out the website. They have some great curriculum too by the sounds of it even though I have not seen their courseware his descriptions told me they have the material well covered. . . so I'd recommend their on-line offers as good value.
