Question: drone pilot training in Canada? (lemmy.ca)

Hey, y'all, I want to help us to be on guard for Canada, and I was thinking I should learn how to fly drones.

I have started looking at schools and at the Transport Canada website. I'd like to hear from those who know more about drone flight schools and fly drones themselves.

I've never flown one myself, even if I do find them rather cool. I'm too old and creaky (and too averse to hierarchy) to join the military, but I can make myself useful in other ways.

Should I get a small drone (below 250 g) and practice?

Are there virtual tools I could practice with? I wouldn't want to crash an expensive piece of gear while I'm learning to pilot it.

Please chime in with your advice.

I thought about getting drone and training to help the cause, but then I remembered I am old and didn't grow up using a controller. I bought one a few years back and downloaded Steam, but my ADHD brain and hands are just not coordinated enough to be able to play even the simplest of games.

I'll have to find another way to help in the upcoming war.
