Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to apply the principles of air law to remote pilot aircraft systems (RPAS) operations in compliance with relevant regulatory requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) and national operating standards. It includes compiling aviation documentation, applying remote pilot licensing requirements, and applying flight rules and conditions of flight to RPAS operations. It also includes applying air service operations legislative requirements, aerodrome and airspace knowledge, and aviation emergency and search and rescue (SAR) knowledge to RPAS operations.This unit addresses aviation technical skill requirements (physical, mental and task-management abilities) related to aircraft operational duties of remote pilots and contributes to safe and effective performance in complex operational environments.Work is performed independently or under limited supervision within a single-pilot or multi-crew environment.Licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements are applicable to this unit.
