If you want to operate commercial drones in Australia, as an individual, you will need to obtain a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL). The Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) allows the holder to operate a drone commercially anywhere in Australia. The Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) is perpetual and does not require renewal.
There are four distinct aircraft types:
| FIXED WING | MULTIROTOR | HELICOPTER | POWERED LIFT |
|---|---|---|---|
| <7kg | <7kg | <7kg | <7kg |
| <25kg | <25kg | <25kg | <25kg |
| Per aircraft type | Per aircraft type | per aircraft type | Per aircraft type |
Your RePL training needs to include the aircraft type you wish to operate.
Please note: Student must already hold a remote pilot licence for Fixed Wing or Powered Lift or a flight crew licence eg: PPL, CPH, HPL etc
