The Australian Government has just released draft proposals for qualifications required to obtain a Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot).
This qualification reflects the role of a Remote Pilot working in the Aviation Industry. Successful completion will require competency in units that relate to work defined as aligned at Certificate 3. This qualification has been structured to align with applicable aviation licensing and regulatory requirements.
Additional requirements may be required in line with the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations before a licence will be issued. This qualification is relevant to operating remote pilot aircraft systems, within visual line of sight (VLOS), below 400 feet above ground level (AGL), in day visual meteorological condition (VMC), outside of controlled airspace, greater than 3nm for an aerodrome, outside of populous areas.
