Upgrade your 7kg Multirotor RePL to an unrestricted 25kg licence to unlock bigger RPA to support advanced operations.
Upgrade your Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) and expand your commercial drone capabilities with the Uncrewed Aviation Australia 25kg Multirotor Drone Upgrade Course.
If you currently hold a CASA Remote Pilot Licence with a multirotor endorsement limited to RPA below 7kg, this course provides the training and assessment required to remove that 7kg limitation and operate multirotor RPA up to 25kg within the privileges of your RePL.
Moving beyond sub-7kg aircraft opens the door to a much wider range of professional and specialised drone operations. Larger multirotor RPA can carry heavier and more capable payloads, including advanced mapping cameras, LiDAR, thermal sensors, multispectral systems and other specialist equipment.
The course combines theory, aircraft familiarisation and practical flight training, with a strong focus on the differences involved in operating larger and heavier RPA. Training covers aircraft handling, performance, payload management, flight planning, risk management and safe operating procedures.
Practical training is conducted using larger commercial multirotor platforms such as the DJI M350RTK, giving pilots experience relevant to aircraft commonly used for surveying, mapping, inspection, emergency services, infrastructure, environmental monitoring and other commercial drone operations.
Whether you are looking to increase your employment opportunities, expand the capability of your business or progress toward operating larger RPA, the 25kg Multirotor RePL Upgrade is the next step beyond a sub-7kg multirotor RePL.
It is particularly suited to commercial drone pilots, contractors, emergency service personnel, survey and mapping operators, photographers, inspectors and organisations looking to introduce larger multirotor RPA into their operations.
