A practical course for new pilots to learn and understand their obligations under the CAA regulations and to gain confidence in their ability to control and fly their own drones safely.
If you have never flown a drone before or are not very experienced at flying your drone we will teach you everything you need to know to make sure that you comply with the CAA requirements, legal requirements of applicable legislation and any bylaws of local councils.
This is a perfect gift for someone who is wanting to start flying drones. We can provide gift certificates for a birthday or special occasion together with your choice of drone.
Duration: 1 day
Cost: $800 plus gst, + Travel & expenses
You will receive:
• Basic drone handling skills for private use
• Full understanding of all legal requirements to fly a drone for private use
• 101 Drone Course Certificate
Minimum people: 3
If you have flown a drone and now would like to commence drone operations outside the restrictions of Part 101, you will need to be certified to CAA Part 102.
The course introduces the certification requirements of Part 102, the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and the safety principles of hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation.
The aim is to ensure that you will understand what is necessary to successfully write an exposition for CAA Certification to Part 102. Pilots will also learn how to safely operate under a Part 102 exposition and will be made aware of expected pilot responsibilities including hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation, the need for standard operating procedures and expected documentation requirements.
The course also includes a practical competency assessment to ensure that the pilot can safely plan, pre-flight, lift-off, fly and land both light and heavy drones in normal and emergency situations.
Light and heavy drones are available for the course but for safety and familiarity purposes, it is preferred that instruction be carried out with the trainee’s own drone.

At the end of this course, you will sit an exam and flight test. On successful completion, you will be issued with a Certificate that enables you to work in accordance with a company’s CAA Part 102 exposition.
Agriculture drones are generally over 25kg, purposefully built to carry and dispense agrichemicals from the air and require the pilot to comply with multiple safety and legislative requirements.
If you have a Part 102 and would now like to commence agricultural drone use, we will teach you all the advanced skills that you need to know to make sure that you comply with the applicable CAA rules and can also operate within the legal requirements of your local council and the chemical manufacturers.
As a specific extension to Part 102 course, we emphasise the hazards and practicalities around the safe handling and application of agrichemicals, loading the drone, and the optimum flight application of chemicals from the air.
The course also includes a final practical Operational Competency Assessment (OCA) to ensure that the pilot can competently fly a heavy agricultural drone and safely plan, pre-flight, load, and dispense chemicals in accordance with their Part 102 exposition.
