Powered Lift up to 25kg upgrade from a different category
If you already hold a Remote Pilot Licence for another category (Multirotor/Fixed Wing/Helicopter), a two day drone training course will upgrade your Remote Pilot Licence to include Powered Lift up to 25kg.
The drone training course consists of a theory component and a practical component. The theory component covers the Powered Lift specific content. The practical training covers category-specific competencies in both Multirotor and Fixed Wing states as well as the transition between phases of flight.
Training courses in Brisbane, Newcastle and Melbourne. Custom dates and locations can be arranged.
Powered Lift up to 7kg upgrade from a different category.
Where drone training is conducted on a Powered Lift drone less than 7kg, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority places a restriction on your Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) to only allow operations up to 7kg.
Increasing weight from 7kg to up to 25kg in the Powered Lift category
If you already hold a Remote Pilot Licence for Powered Lift drones up to 7kg, upgrading to 25kg is reasonably straightforward. As the theory component of the Powered Lift category has been completed, only the practical competencies on the larger drone need to be completed. This can completed during any of our scheduled Powered Lift drone training and is usually completed within a day.
