Remote Operators Certificate
Once you have obtained your Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) you will be required to operate under Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC). You can use a pre-existing Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) from your company or another company. Please find information on obtaining a Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) here.
As a business or company wanting to operate commercial drones, you will require a Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC). This requirement can be likened to an airline such as QANTAS. QANTAS as a company has an Air Operator’s Certificate and each pilot has their own pilot’s licence relevant to the aircraft operated. Having a Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC) allows the company to operate commercial drones Australia wide with the individual holding a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL).
The business or company needs to designate a person responsible for the companies operations, known as the Chief Remote Pilot. CASA will issue the Chief Remote Pilot an example job to prepare a job safety and risk assessment. Once this is complete a phone interview takes place to discuss the safety assessment and explain your responsibilities.
To obtain a Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC), your business will need:
- Completed Operations Manual and Library
- Nominated Chief Remote Pilot (Must hold a Remote Pilot Licence)
- Company Aviation Reference Number (CASA Form 1170)
- Completed application forms (CASA Form 101-06 and CASA Form 101-08)
