The BVLOS Exam will provide a credit towards a BVLOS Rating which will be issued to candidates that pass both the Exam and the soon-to-be BVLOS flight test. CASA is yet to develop this flight test. Regardless the BVLOS courses will upskill you and your pilots.

Until the awarding of a BVLOS rating, you will still need a member of your flight crew to be the holder of a valid IREX or other requirements in accordance with CAS 101.300 Conditions on remote pilot licences (4)(a)(i)-(iii).

You will still require a BVLOS area approval from CASA prior to flight even after passing the BVLOS Exam.

With the continued development and advances in RPAS, there is an ever-changing requirement for pilots to fly further for longer.

Enhanced imaging and sensing capabilities are growing at an exponential rate and creating a gap between what an RPAS can do and what an RPAS pilot is capable of.

In the same way crewed aviation went through technological leaps in the 1980s and 1990s with jet engines, glass cockpits, automation and threat and error training, RPAS is at that same point of accelerated innovation.

Additionally, there is a considerable training deficiency in BVLOS, and we see this as a threat to the safety of both crewed and uncrewed aviation. Focusing on our 2-Day BVLOS Course enables us to expose flight crews to the most advanced training with the purpose of developing a culture of quality, safety and excellence.
