If you fly a drone, or remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), for business or as part of your job, you’ll soon need to get an RPA operator accreditation to fly it. You do not need an RPA operator accreditation if: • you hold a remote pilot licence (RePL) • you only fly you drone for sport or recreation, including model aircraft association members flying at CASA-approved model airfields. Watch our step-by-step guide on how to get an RPA operator accreditation. Find out more: https://www.casa.gov.au/kn

Never fly a drone, model aircraft or multirotor near bushfires. While it might be tempting to record footage, you can pose a major safety risk to firefighting personnel in the air and on the ground. More info: casa.gov.au/rpafire | Civil Aviation Safety Authority - CASA
