Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot)

Course Overview

Do you want to be a part of a rapidly evolving industry? More and more businesses and individuals have realised that utilising drones across their operations can enhance their capabilities, expand their service offerings and increase commercial opportunities. Drones are increasingly becoming well known for their ability to increase safety and efficiencies, whilst reducing costs in comparison to traditional means of data capture.

With the increased capabilities and opportunities that drone technology can deliver, businesses across many industries, including real estate, entertainment, commercial farming and photography, to name a few, are turning towards this safer, more cost-effective solution. As a result, many businesses are progressively replacing many of the most dangerous and high-paying jobs in their organisations with drone technology.

This course provides you with the important training required to legally operate a remote piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). It is designed to take students from having never operated an RPA to obtaining your Certificate III under the guidance and tuition of experienced course instructors. It is relevant to individuals operating remotely piloted aircraft (Drones) within visual line of sight (VLOS), below 400 feet above ground level (AGL), in day visual meteorological conditions (VMC), outside of controlled airspace (CTA), greater than 3 nautical miles from an aerodrome and outside of populous areas. Remote pilot duties include applying technical and non-technical aviation skills and knowledge within Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) operational environments. This qualification forms some of the requirements for certification by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) as described in Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 101 Division 101.F4 –Certification of RPA operators. Civil and military personnel seeking certification as remote pilots should check requirements with CASA.
