RE: 5-day RePL training course:
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for taking me on the journey that was the RePL course!
My gosh, it started off tricky, but I honestly had an absolute blast during those 5 days. You all have such great humour and amazing knowledge around this subject. Jimmy your stories were priceless!! I loved hearing them every day. And i can’t wait for your book to come out 🙂
Alex and Klman were amazing teachers. They had a lot of patience for me, with both my lack of skills/knowledge and with my dry sarcastic humour. I think I tested them quite a bit with the number of questions and my lack of understanding sometimes, but they really took their time to explain things to me so I would have the ability to understand and fully comprehend a subject. They never once made me feel silly or stupid for not understanding, and that was honestly so so appreciated.
Thank you all for making me a better UAV pilot. And thank you for all the laughs I had during the course, I really had a great time, and if I had to do it all again, I would be so happy to do it all again with you guys!
Its no secret aerial photography has exploded with high end property professionals and with technology accelerating at such an enormous rate, the competitive advantage is now available to everyone.
Aerial platforms are rapidly becoming vital tools for businesses looking to more efficiently collect information crucial to their operations.
any inspections need to be conducted by personnel getting into precarious positions and because of size can be difficult, timely, costly and unsafe.
Just completed the Drone Remote Pilots License (RePL) with Interspacial Aviation. The training both the classroom and the drone flying was very clear and well taught by Renn and the other teachers. Practical real world guidance was given. Quality and professional.
I had an amazing time training with these guys. They are experienced and have great knowledge on both aviation and drones. Also, great teachers, I was able to understand concepts and had plenty of practical time to flight with confidence. I’m the third person of our studio doing this training and we recommend them.
The Interspacial team is professional and has a wealth of knowledge. With a great selection of equipment to practice with, I thoroughly enjoyed the course, and left feeling confident to fly my drone. Highly recommended

We do this to keep ahead of the pack and maintain relationships with players in the WA resources industry. Leverage our expertise and network to establish yourself in this burgeoning industry.
RePL – Remote Pilot License is issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). We do the training and assessment in just 5-days. CASA then issue the license. The license is perpetual (never expires) and you are not required to do a medical.
You do not NEED an RePL to operate drones in Australia. However, you do if you want to:
– fly a drone that has a max take off weight (MTOW) of more than 2kg, or;
– fly above 120 meters, or;
– fly at night, or;
– fly outside line of sight, or;
– fly within 5.5km of airports, or;
– fly in restricted airspace
– and more
ReOC – Remote Operator Certificate. This is a certification given to businesses or sole traders who hold an approved Operations Manual. A sample operations manual can be found here. The benefit is that the Operations Manual outlines processes and procedures that Remote Pilots (RePL holders) employed by or sub-contracting to the business need to comply with. The person nominated to maintain the manual and hold other pilots to it is known as the Chief Remote Pilot.
Drone flights, jobs and missions that are outside of Standard Operating Conditions (SOC’s) are more complex and inherently carry more risk. In order to obtain approval for these jobs, we need to outline how anyone, including employees and sub-contractors should conduct themselves in all situations. The manual will include acceptable risks, risk controls, checklists and roles and responsibilities for company personnel.
Any flight that is outside the SOC’s, requires a Remote Pilot License and a Remote Operator Certificate.
Established in 2012 by experienced commercial aviation instructors and operators, Interspacial Aviation Services offer comprehensive RePL and ExCAT training. Certified by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, we pride ourselves in delivering not only world class remote pilot training, but ongoing operational support throughout your carreer. We also offer the ability for our RePL trained pilots to operate under our ReOC, while assisting you in applying for your own.
You do not need a license to operate drones commercially in Australia. The “Excluded Category” allows very small (sub-2kg) drones to be used for commercial purposes if you are operating in accordance with Standard Operating Conditions.
Although there is no formal training required for this, we do offer a short 1-day course if you would like to take this route.
More details can be found on the CASA website. https://www.casa.gov.au/resources-and-education/publications/plain-english-guides/casr-part-101-plain-english-guide-micro-and-excluded-rpa-operations
There is a reasonable amount of theory. There are 2-days theory; 2-days practical flying, followed by an assessment on the final day.
The learning process is not hard, but there is a lot compressed into a short time. We have never had anyone fail the exam.
Other options such as self-paced online courses cannot deliver that kind of success rate. This is a positive factor of doing the course in class, over a 5 day period. You WILL leave with a license or your money back.
