Extend your commercial range with our expert led EVLOS1 and 2 Course. Learn the rules, regulations and experience flight beyond pilot visual line of sight. An exciting course that takes your flying to the next level. Any pilot currently holding an RePL can access our Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) course.
 
In EVLOS 1, the pilot is able to fly beyond the usual distances limited by the pilot's ability to see and orientate their aircraft by using an observer located with the Pilot. This can extend your flight up to 1.5km.
 
In EVLOS 2, much longer distances are achievable with observers spaced along the intended flight route at intervals.

When flying beyond your own line of sight, your observer will take that role from you in constant communication, giving you exact feedback on your aircraft surroundings, heights, headings, obstacles etc. You continue to fly your aircraft using your App or GCS whilst your observer maintains the 'visual' element of your flight.

In our course, you'll learn about all the rules and regulations for EVLOS flight and how to apply them practically. You will experience both sides of the operation, both as an EVLOS 1 and 2 observer and Pilot. The primary focus of the course is the communication between pilot and observer to ensure situational awareness of the RPA at all times.  This will involve extensive use of radios and becoming comfortable with their use.  You'll complete the course and leave with approval certification for you as a pilot/observer to complete EVLOS 1 and 2 scenarios.

At the end of the course, you will be able to fly EVLOS under a ReOC with EVLOS approval.  It's worth noting also, that we offer a complete service to vary your ReOC manuals to include EVLOS, ready for submission to CASA
 
These courses are generally run based on demand as private courses but you will see some scheduled on our website. For further information on EVLOS 2 and advanced flight, call our team on 07 3846 8199.
