About Our

The UAS Remote Pilot Certificate is for those who only want to fly under Part 101 and want to understand their responsibilities and flying within 4km of an aerodrome.

The UAS Remote Pilot Certificate is a two-day course comprised of the UAS 101 Ground Course and Flight Test. The UAS 101 Ground Course covers:

• Understanding airspace
• Operations within 4km of an aerodrome
• General Part 101 Rules including Night and Visual Line of Sight
• AIP Supplements and NOTAMs
• Accident Reporting
• Technical aspects of UAVs
• Hazard and Risk Minimisation

The Advanced UAS Remote Pilot Certificate is essential for anyone who wants to fly as a pilot for a Part 102 organisation. This course includes all of the content of the UAS Remote Pilot Certificate, plus an additional day in the classroom covering advanced material for Part 102 operations. Learn about the broader legal framework for UAS operations including trespass and privacy, systems failures, accident and incident reporting under Part 102, and the Part 102 certification process, documentation, and expectations.

An additional endorsement is available for the Cook Islands, with additional requirements of the Cook Islands CAA to be met after the award of the certificate.

The night rating is for a person who intends to fly unshielded at night, whether under Part 101 or Part 102.

The theory component of our Night Rating course is available as a self-paced online module. This means you can work through the theory whenever it suits you.

After you have completed the online module you will proceed to a practical flight assessment with one of our instructors.

Both the theory and practical requirements must be passed to obtain the night rating.

This course reflects the latest changes introduced in CATI 101-1.

If you have completed a theory-only course then you will also need to complete a Flight Test to obtain the UAS Remote Pilot Certificate.

This course is for people who have completed a 101 course but need to upgrade to the 102-level Advanced UAS Remote Pilot Certificate for operating under a Part 102 certificate.

Learn about the broader legal framework for UAS operations including trespass and privacy, systems failures, accident and incident reporting under Part 102, and the Part 102 certification process, documentation, and expectations.

Delivered live online, you can attend this from wherever is most convenient for you, with the added benefit of there being an instructor who can answer your questions.

A 2-day course covering the essentials of Safety Management System (SMS) for operators of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems.

Based on the SMS in Practice course that has been offered to certificated operators in the traditional aviation sector, this course is tailored to the needs of RPAS operators who do not have a regulated requirement for a full SMS.

SMS for RPAS Operators is particularly suited to larger organisations, but can also be helpful for smaller organisations looking to improve their safety management.

*This is not a scheduled course. It is one that is available on request if there are sufficient numbers.
