Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot)
Course Overview
This course provides you with the important training required to legally operate a remote piloted aircraft system (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. This is for candidates new to aviation and remote piloting. It will require a mix of practical and theoretical skills to be able to meet the requirements.
This qualification is relevant to individuals operating remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards.

Increasing Relevance
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.
Improving Compliance
Licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this qualification at the time of publication. This qualification aligns to Remote Pilot Licensing requirements described in Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 101 — Unmanned aircraft and rockets and Part 101 Manual of Standards.
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.
