Required Documents for Rental
Training
Suggested training is the A2 CofC. Open the dropdowns below for more details.
If you are flying this drone in the Open Category, you have two options:
- A Valid A2 CofC: Fly in the A2 subcategory, fly up to 50m horizontally of uninvolved people.
- No A2 CofC: Fly in the A3 subcategory, no uninvolved people present within the area of flight, and no flights must take place within 150m horizontally of residential, commercial, industrial or recreational areas.
To obtain a valid A2 CofC, conduct online A2 CofC drone training with heliguy™. Click here for more details.
The Specific Category covers operations that present a greater risk than that of the Open Category, or where one or more elements of the operation fall outside the boundaries of the Open Category.
For this, a GVC is needed to be able to apply for an Operational Authorisation (similar to the former PfCO) from the CAA to operate in the Specific Category.
If you require a GVC to operate this drone, you can conduct online drone training with heliguy™. Click for more information.
Or you can take our PfCO to GVC Conversion Course. Click for more information.
