Remote Pilot Licence Powered Lift 25kg

Powered Lift or Vertical Take-off and Landing drones are those that Take off and Land like a Multirotor drone then transition to a Fixed-wing drone for the operational phase of flight. Operating a Powered Lift drone (VTOL) requires a Remote Pilot Licence specifically for the Powered Lift Category. The Remote Pilot Licence for Powered Lift is usually conducted as an upgrade to an existing Remote Pilot Licence.

Aviassist schedules regular up to Remote Pilot Licence Powered Lift up to 7kg and up to 25kg Powered Lift drone training courses at our our drone training centres across Australia. Custom course dates and locations can also be arranged for groups of 3 or more.

If you already hold a Remote Pilot Licence for another category (Multirotor/Fixed Wing/Helicopter), a two day drone training course will upgrade your Remote Pilot Licence to include Powered Lift up to 25kg.

The drone training course consists of a theory component and a practical component. The theory component covers the Powered Lift specific content. The practical training covers category-specific competencies in both Multirotor and Fixed Wing states as well as the transition between phases of flight.

Aviassist regularly schedules Remote Pilot Licence Powered Lift up to 25kg upgrade training courses in Brisbane, Newcastle and Melbourne. Custom dates and locations can be arranged.

Aviassist schedules Remote Pilot Licence Powerd Lift up to 7kg in two additional locations, Sydney and Perth.

Where drone training is conducted on a Powered Lift drone less than 7kg, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority places a restriction on your Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) to only allow operations up to 7kg.

If you already hold a Remote Pilot Licence for Powered Lift drones up to 7kg, upgrading to 25kg is reasonably straightforward. As the theory component of the Powered Lift category has been completed, only the practical competencies on the larger drone need to be completed. This can completed during any of our scheduled Powered Lift drone training and is usually completed within a day.

Initial Remote Pilot Licence Powered Lift Powered Lift up to 25kg drone training courses is via custom booking request only. While it is possible to conduct the initial course on Powered Lift aircraft, we suggest getting some experience first through the Multirotor up to 25kg course.

For experienced Remote Pilots, such as foreign licence holders, should you require a custom course for the initial Remote Pilot Licence please contact our team.

Aviassist owns and operates several of the most popular Powered Lift drones in Australia which are based strategically at our training centres around the country.
