Its Good that the CASA are being sensible ....,  May Be old news but just wanted to post it in case some Aussie Pilots havent yet seen it.

Updates to remotely piloted aircraft rules - Red tape cut for RPA in Australia.
https://www.casa.gov.au/publicat ... ly-piloted-aircraft

Extract : "Commercial operators of very small remotely piloted aircraft will no longer need to obtain a number of regulatory approvals. This includes an operator’s certificate and a remote pilot licence. The move will cut regulatory costs for operators by thousands of dollars, save time and reduce paperwork."

This is good (old) news but a welcome change to the bad press we normally get.

I tried to PM labroides but the PMs arent working in Chrome or IE.

Could someone in AUS post AUS govt links for rules, NFZ maps, recommended apps for a US visitor? Thanks.
