Hi,
I can't see the pdf for some reason but from the last post.... My understanding after reading the CASA website a few weeks ago is that you only need a licence if you fly commercially and the drone weighs over 2kg. If you fly as a hobby then things kick in at 25kg from memory. My RC helicopter weighs more than 2kg and I don't need a licence or register with CASA etc., same with the I2.
Is this correct?
OK. Happy to be corrected in that. Cheers.
'Amendments to Part 101 commenced on 29 September 2016. CASA introduced reduced entry requirements for people wanting to fly a very small (100g < 2kg) remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) commercially.
- Effective 29 September 2016, the new category of excluded RPA came into effect, with reduced regulatory requirements to fly very small RPAs commercially. Operations under 2kg (excluded) will not need an RPA operator's certificate (ReOC), or a remote pilot licence (RePL).
Those operating in the excluded RPA category will have to notify CASA at least five business days before their first commercial flight and agree to operate by the standard operating conditions and the guidance in advisory circular (AC) 101-10.'
Otherwise, Cab, what's an Air Crew Licence?
