RePL Upgrade <25kg Certification

Description

The RePL Upgrade <25kg Certification is designed for drone pilots who are already certified to fly drones under 7kg but need to expand their capabilities to include drones weighing up to 25kg. This upgrade is essential for operators who want to take on more complex projects that require larger, more powerful drones, such as in the fields of construction, agriculture, or film production. By upgrading your RePL, you’ll unlock new opportunities to work on more advanced and higher-paying projects.

This CASA-approved course focuses on providing the additional theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to operate heavier drones safely and legally. By the end of the course, you’ll be certified to fly drones up to 25kg, allowing you to take on more challenging and specialised drone operations.

What You’ll Learn in the RePL Upgrade <25kg Certification

The RePL Upgrade <25kg Certification covers both theoretical and practical components, ensuring that you are fully prepared to operate larger drones in a commercial setting. Key areas of learning include:

• Principles of Flight for Larger Drones: You’ll learn how the physics of flight changes when operating drones weighing up to 25kg, including how to manage lift, thrust, drag, and weight to ensure stable flight.
• Risk Management for Heavy Drones: Operating larger drones involves increased risk. You’ll learn how to conduct thorough risk assessments and implement strategies to mitigate those risks during flight operations.
• Flight Planning for Complex Operations: You’ll be trained in advanced flight planning techniques that take into account the additional requirements of flying larger drones, such as airspace restrictions, weather conditions, and payload management.
• Emergency Procedures: When operating drones up to 25kg, knowing how to handle emergencies is crucial. You’ll be trained in standard emergency procedures for large drones, including how to safely land the drone in the event of a malfunction.
• Practical Flight Training: The hands-on component of the RePL Upgrade <25kg Certification allows you to practice flying larger drones under the supervision of experienced instructors. You’ll gain real-world experience with take-offs, landings, hovering, and more complex manoeuvres.

Who Is This Course For?

The RePL Upgrade <25kg Certification is perfect for drone pilots who are already certified to fly drones under 7kg but need to expand their capabilities to include larger drones. This course is particularly relevant for:

• Film and Media Professionals: Larger drones can carry more advanced camera equipment, making them ideal for professional film and media production.
• Construction and Surveying: If your work involves mapping or surveying large areas, a larger drone with extended flight capabilities and higher payload capacity is essential.
• Agriculture: For tasks such as crop monitoring or spraying, larger drones are more efficient and can cover larger areas.
