What it covers

The unit aims to deliver the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) theory, the associated theory examination, practical flight training, and the flight test required for the issue of a CASA RePL. The licence covers small multi-rotor drones up to 25 kg gross weight, operated under visual line of sight (VLOS) and in accordance with CASA’s standard operating conditions (SOC). In addition, where required, students will also obtain an Aeronautical Radio Operator’s Certificate (AROC). This certification enables remote pilots to operate drones in controlled airspace, provided they also hold the necessary CASA approvals. An AROC allows remote pilots to broadcast over VHF radio aviation frequencies.
