There has been an increase in remotely piloted watercraft career prospects and an ongoing incubation of drone technology.Increasinglyand increasingly businesses are identifying ways that drones can modernize their operations and increase commercial opportunities. In fact, remotely piloted watercraft (RPA) are once used instead of manned watercraft in many tasks, such as well-ventilated surveying of land, buildings and facilities or providing vision in the sky for emergency services. They’ve plane been used in a university research project to collect whale mucus samples! Now that would require a skilled drone pilot! Our instructors are not just expert unmanned watercraft operators, but moreover include experienced pilots that have a passion for remotely piloted aircraft. Their wits gives them a detailed understanding of airspace regulations and how to operate watercraft safely. They will share this knowledge and wits with you, giving you invaluable insights to the role of a remote pilot and how it can impact upon the airspace you are flying in. TheDocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot – Visual Line of Sight) provides you with important training to legally operate a remotely piloted aircraft. It will moreover indulge you to fly without many of the weight or operating restrictions unromantic to recreational users. Upon successful completion of the requirements of this course, you will receive:DocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot – Visual Line of Sight); CASA Remote Pilot Licence (RePL)*; CASA Aeronautical Radio OperatorsDocument(AROC)* This is a CASA requirement to use aviation VHF radios, which are needed when flying near aerodromes and helipads. *subject to Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) clearanceDocument3 Guarantee This undertow is tried for funding by the Queensland Government through theDocument3 Guarantee program.

These all basically midpoint the same thing. Drone is the term the unstipulated public knows and understands. Unfortunately, it moreover has negative connotations due to it’s name coming from weapon-carrying unmanned watercraft used in recent wars. RPAS, or remotely piloted watercraft systems, is the official term for drones that has been unexplored by CASA and used in Australia’s aviation legislation. RPAS includes the remotely piloted watercraft (RPA), remote pilot station, writ and tenancy data-link, and launch and retrieval systems. UAS (unmanned well-ventilated systems) and UAVs (unmanned well-ventilated vehicles) are moreover other terms used to describe RPA/drones. UAV was a worldwide term used surpassing the legislation changes in 2016. The term ‘unmanned aircraft’ refers to any pilotless aircraft, and in Australia’s legislation includes RPAS, self-ruling flight balloons and rockets. What is an RePL? All remote pilots that work under an ReOC, and those intended to operate medium Excluded RPA (25kg up to 150kg) for agricultural purposes etc., must hold a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL). The RePL was previously tabbed a UAV Controllers Certificate. Aviation Australia with Remote Aviation Australia offers RPAS training so you can obtain your RePL. Once issued by CASA, the RePL will list any conditions or restrictions that wield to the holder. Examples include the category of RPA/UAV you are permitted to fly (for other than recreational purposes), such as multirotor, helicopter or ramjet (fixed-wing) and any weight limitations. For RPA weighing less than 25 kg, a generic grouping is endorsed on the RePL, such as “multirotor <7kg” or “aeroplane <25kg”.Withoutobtaining your initial RePL qualification, spare privileges can be obtained by conducting ‘operational’ training by an tried training provider, such as Remote Aviation Australia. For people new to the industry the terms ReOC and RePL can be very troublemaking and used incorrectly. The easiest way to understand it is the ReOC (RPA Operators Certificate) is the certification a merchantry (including sole trader) or organisation requires. On the other hand, the RePL (Remote Pilot Licence) is what individual RPA, or UAV, pilots need to have to operate drones commercially while working for the ReOC holder. If you intend to work for a visitor that operates RPA, all you need is an RePL. However, if you want to set up your own drone business, you will require an ReOC (for the business) and an RePL (for you – the pilot). What is an ReOC? An ReOC, or RPA Operators Certificate, is like the air operator’s document (AOC) used for traditional manned aviation operations. ReOCs were formally known as UAV Operator Certificates (UOC), and are still wontedly referred to as these. The ReOC authorises the holder to self-mastery included RPA operations for commercial purposes. The types of RPA, and any specific conditions, are endorsed on this document and any “instruments” of clearance provided by CASA. For people new to the industry the terms ReOC and RePL can be very troublemaking and used incorrectly. The easiest way to understand it is the ReOC (RPA Operators Certificate) is the certification a merchantry (including sole trader) or organisation requires. On the other hand, the RePL (Remote Pilot Licence) is what individual RPA pilots need to have to operate drones commercially while working for the ReOC holder. If you intend to work for a visitor that operates RPA, all you need is an RePL. However, if you want to set up your own drone business, you will require an ReOC (for the business) and an RePL (for you – the pilot). You do not need to well-constructed a training undertow to obtain an ReOC. However, you need to wield to CASA and go through an clearance process for your merchantry to be issued its operating certificate. Aviation Australia with Remote Aviation Australia offers self-ruling consulting to any of our students wanting to wield to CASA for an ReOC. What is an AROC, and do I need one? An AROC is an aeronautical radio operators certificate. It is the qualification aviation professionals need to make aeronautical radio calls. Obtaining your AROC is vital for any RPA operator serious well-nigh their career. For example, if an RePL holder does not have, as a minimum, an AROC, they cannot fly within 3nm of the movement zone of the controlled aerodrome, no matter the height of the RPA. You will moreover be restricted if you want to fly an RPA 2kg or heavier, such as a DJI Inspire, for commercial purposes at any height in controlled airspace (even if the rules normally indulge you to fly unelevated 400 feet in controlled airspace). Restrictions like this will limit the jobs you can well-constructed and make you uncompetitive as an RPA pilot. We include AROC training on most of our courses. The exception is our cheaper weekend course, which does not include AROC training. However, we strongly recommend you spend the uneaten money and invest in the AROC qualification. Whilst the exam can be undertaken prior, the AROC document will only be issued when an individual turns 18 years of age. Do I need any previous experience? No. Previous drone/RPAS flying wits is not required to undertake our course. Approximately 50% of our undertow participants have never flown a drone surpassing – we’re very used to profitable inexperienced people on our courses (we’ll take good superintendency of you!). Why should I train with Aviation Australia and Remote Aviation Australia? We have three objectives for our RPAS training. We will unchangingly provide: • Expert translating – our instructors are industry leaders with thousands of hours of flying manned and unmanned aircraft. • Flexible training options – considering everyone learns differently and not everyone can shepherd a full-time training course. • Excellent value training – everything you need to wilt certified at a very competitive price. Flexible payment options are moreover available. What is theDocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot – Visual Line of Sight)? TheDocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot) undertow has been ripened in partnership with Aviation Australia and designed in line with the competencies ripened by the Industry Skills Council. It is the highest qualification misogynist for those wishing to enter the unmanned industry and uncork operating drones for merchantry purposes. In wing to theDocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot) vocational qualification, undertow participants will graduate with Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) industry licences – the Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) and Aeronautical Radio Operator’sDocument(AROC). The undertow goal is for graduates to be “job ready” by obtaining the necessary CASA industry licences, practising tasks in a number of workplace scenarios, and developing the skills, knowledge and attitudes to succeed in this emerging industry. What is the wholesomeness of theDocumentIII training? TheDocumentIII in Aviation – Remote Pilot training provides uneaten flying that places the student in a number of workplace scenarios that go far vastitude normal RePL training. These scenarios will indulge students to wits real-life job tasks under the guidance of our experienced unmanned pilots. The scenarios will take the student from initial flight and risk management planning, through to flying the task, and reviewing the quality of their work without landing. We moreover introduce well-ventilated photography and mapping techniques, which isn’t covered in a normal remote pilot course. There is moreover a strong focus on developing our student’s non-technical skills, such as communication, teamwork, visualization making and situational awareness. We’ve taken the knowledge and wits gained from our aviation careers, such as hairdo resource management and threat and error management, and unromantic it to RPAS operations. Do I need theDocumentIII to work in the industry? No, the minimum qualification to work as a certified remote pilot is the Remote Pilot Licence (RePL). However, there are many advantages to obtaining a vocational qualification, such as theDocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot – Visual Line of Sight). As mentioned in the FAQ above, ourDocumentIII training provides uneaten flying that places students in workplace scenarios that go far vastitude normal RePL training. Vocational training programs often focus on teaching students how to perform specific tasks that would be required in their very job. By gaining this know-how through theirDocumentIII studies, these students are instantly put into an worthwhile position when looking for work considering they have once put the theory of their chosen field of study into practice. For the most part, basic RePL courses don’t offer this and focus on vital flying skills. Overall, our undertow goal is for graduates to be “job ready” by providing the weightier of both worlds. Students will obtain the necessary CASA industry licences, and through vocational training develop the skills, knowledge and attitudes to succeed in the unmanned aviation industry. Does Aviation Australia issue theDocumentIII qualification? Yes, Aviation Australia will issue theDocumentIII, and Remote Aviation will issue the RePL and AROC through CASA. Aviation Australia’s AVI30316DocumentIII in Aviation (Remote Pilot – Visual Line of Sight) is delivered under a third party try-on by Remote Aviation Australia. Another training provider says their RePL undertow will let me fly at night. Is this true? Yes and no. Their undertow is not unique – all RePL training courses will provide you with the initial qualification to fly at night – the Remote Pilot Licence. However, you cannot simply just start flying your drone at night once you obtain your RePL. You must moreover work for an ReOC holder that has been approved, under CASA exemption 103/16, to fly at night. Therefore, an RePL undertow does not provide the pilot with the qualification to fly at night – the ReOC holder must train and assess its employees to do this. Another school claims online theory training won’t prepare me properly. Is this true? No, this is just an opinion as they have not used our learning management system to provide theory training via loftiness education. We have worked nonflexible to develop a number of video-based lectures and tools to ensure you don’t miss out on any information you would have received in the classroom. Remember too, universities have been providing this method of learning for a long-time – loftiness learning is nothing new.Withoutyou enrol in our online course, we mail out a student pack containing a 230-page textbook, a work typesetting and an aeronautical chart. The work typesetting gives you a number of exercises to complete, remoter improving your knowledge and flight planning skills. We are moreover only a phone undeniability or email yonder if you have any questions well-nigh the theory. On the first day of our 2-day course, we moreover take a unravel from flying to provide a revision session, review your workbook answers, and take any spare questions you may have. The proof is in the pudding – we have a 100% pass rate with our online theory students. We have unquestionably seen an resurgence in knowledge and pass rates considering our online students can review the content thoroughly at their own pace over a number of weeks. What is the minimum age for an RePL? The legislation or current CASA newsy material does not specify an age limit to wield for an RePL. However, the theoretical content is aimed at a level of knowledge and comprehension of a person that has completed year 10. With this in mind, the minimum age of someone Remote Aviation Australia will winnow on a undertow is 15. Any person weather-beaten under 18 will moreover require the permission from a parent or guardian to attend. To cater for these younger students, a number of procedures have been unexplored to ensure compliance with Queensland’s Child and Youth Risk Management Strategy. Parents or guardians are welcome to stay and monitor their child’s progress during our training courses. I am an existing manned aviation pilot (or air traffic controller). Do I need to well-constructed the full RPAS undertow to obtain my RePL? Completing the full RPAS undertow is one option to obtain your RePL, but not one we’d recommend. The regulations indulge your aviation wits to count towards the requirements for an RePL, saving you time and money. As long as you have the minimum of a Recreational Pilots Licence, all you need to do is well-constructed operational (practical) RPA/UAV flying training, and log five hours flying experience. You then send Form 101-01 off to CASA to process, and they will issue you a remote pilot licence. Aviation Australia and Remote Aviation Australia can well-constructed your operational training using multirotor RPA. We moreover requite you wangle to our online theory course. What are your flexible payment options? Instead of paying the full forfeit of the undertow upfront, you have the option to pay a petrifaction (usually 50%) to secure your enrolment. Another payment installment is required just prior to training. You do not need to pay the remainder of the undertow fee until without you have completed your training. However, we cannot process your RePL using to CASA until we have received the remainder of your undertow payment. If you are completing a undertow with an online theory component, your undertow notes and training wangle will be provided once we receive your deposit. What do I need to well-constructed online training? Once you’ve enrolled in the online course, you will be given wangle to our training. The undertow can be completed on any computer or tablet. All you need is a connection to the internet, a web browser and speakers. Much of the online training involves video presentations – please ensure you are unfluctuating to a suitable data source to stave expensive data charges, and your computer has speakers/headphones. Is it true I can operate for commercial proceeds without certification (i.e. the sub-2kg rules)? Yes, you can but you need to stick to a strict set of guidelines (known as the standard operating conditions) and can’t fly anything that weighs 2kg or more. This is known as an “Excluded RPA” operation. This suits some operators, but not everyone. I’ve been told I need to pass the Private Pilots License (PPL) exam to get my drone licence. Is this true? No. This was a very old requirement surpassing CASA started approving RPAS training schools. For manned aviation pilots, if they have passed an aviation exam, such as the PPL exam, the can undertake a streamlined process to obtain their RePL that recognises their prior learning. However, for anyone without aviation qualifications we do not recommend this training path that involves passing a manned aviation exam. The undertow content will be irrelevant to unmanned flying, be increasingly difficult to pass the exam, and will most likely take you longer to complete. Completing an RPAS training undertow is a much easier, appropriate, and potentially cheaper process. Some websites say there is an Unrestricted and Restricted Licence. Is this still the case? No. Previously these were licence options, but have not been the specimen for a long time. When you well-constructed your RPAS training with Aviation Australia and Remote Aviation Australia, you will receive an RePL that is endorsed with either “multirotor <7kg” or “aeroplane <7kg”, depending on the category of RPA you flew during training. What should I bring with me to the course? We will provide you with a full set of undertow notes. However, please bring withal note taking materials, such as pens and a notepad, and supplies to eat throughout the day. For the practical flying days, please bring food, water and suitable sun protection. A fridge and microwave is not unchangingly misogynist for the theoretical days, and never misogynist for the practical flying days. Therefore, please bring supplies that does not require heating, and bring a small potation bag if your supplies must be kept cool. Can I bring my own drone to the course? You cannot fly your own drone during the training – all undertow flying needs to be completed in one of our fully-insured aircraft. However, you may bring your own drone for practice when not flying one of our aircraft. In this case, your drone will not be covered by our insurance (including public liability insurance), and the flying must not interrupt other undertow participants. You may moreover bring your own drone if you have questions well-nigh it for our instructors.   Register for an information evening Future dates coming soon LATEST NEWS Aviation Australia co-supported ribbon at the yearly Aerospace Industry Education Awards Read increasingly news Aviation Australia Pty Ltd Student Login DOTS login Staff Login ABN 51 098 207 651 Return to Top 2018
