From 29th September 2016, changes to CASA’s regulations around the use of small RPAs for commercial purposes have been introduced.
The requirement to hold a Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC) has changed. New categories of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) have been identified and defined by maximum take-off weight. Standard operating conditions have been introduced and as such, some operations will be considered ‘excluded RPA operations’ which will not require a ReOC. Please utilise the following link to help identify whether an operation is excluded.
