This Course.
Our Flying Start course is aimed at young pilots and those who don't necessarily want to fly commercially at this stage. This course sets out what you can and can't do in the CASA sub 2KG 'excluded' category - this means no license is needed. It is built to help young pilots, or any new pilots, understand RPA, how they work, how to fly them and operate within the rules.

When you've completed this course of face-to-face fun tuition with our expert pilots, you'll be issued with a certificate of attainment which can further be used as recognition if you decide to study for your Remote Pilots License.
