Introduction
Agricultural operations include aerial agrichemical operation (spraying, topdressing, and vertebrate toxic agents) as well as certain other activities such as transporting loads used in agriculture, horticulture, or forestry.
All of these activities require a Part 102 exposition with the appropriate privileges.
For aerial agrichemical application you will also require the appropriate training.
Training for Aerial Agrichemical Application
For spraying, topdressing, and VTA you will require:
- Our Advanced UAS Remote Pilot Certificate (or equivalent)
- A Pilot Chemical Rating certificate
- A competency assessment conducted using your agricultural UAV
- A UAV Agricultural Rating with the relevant endorsement
Additional Requirements for Vertebrate Toxic Agents (VTA)
For VTA you will also need a Controlled Substance Licence, which you can apply for after completing the Pilot Chemical Rating course. To find out the requirements for a CSL and the application process, see the WorkSafe website.
