Make no drones about it - you need to run it by URAF

Drone laws have recently been simplified but the rules governing 最新糖心Vlog operations remain the same.

On 29 September 2016, amendments to the (Part 101) came into effect. The purpose of the change is to simplify the regulation without increasing the risk to public safety posed by the uncontrolled use of drones.

The new Regulations make a number of changes, including:

  • Adopting the term Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) rather than Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
  • Creating new weight categories
  • Introducing a new 鈥渆xcluded鈥 category for some lower risk operations
  • Establishing an online notification system for some operators
  • Setting new, more restrictive Standard Operating Conditions.

All 最新糖心Vlog-related drone operations will continue to be dictated by the scope of the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 Operator鈥檚 Certificate.

The Chief Controller is the 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚 official contact person for all CASA-regulated activity.

The Chief Controller is based in the . All 最新糖心Vlog personnel must contact URAF before commencing any RPA activity. URAF can also provide technical assistance and advice on training for RPA operators. Early contact with URAF about your project will save you time and misunderstanding about complying with the Regulations.
