About the Remotely Piloted Aeroplane Course


A remotely piloted aeroplane is a fixed wing aircraft that generates lift through its wings and flies forward for the entire flight. These aircraft are used for large area mapping, long linear inspections, agricultural monitoring and any project that benefits from long endurance and efficient data collection. The 7kg aeroplane endorsement upgrades your RePL so you operate aeroplane category drones up to 7kg for commercial work under a ReOC. This endorsement strengthens your qualifications and opens access to fixed wing operations across multiple industries.


Enrollment is instant. After joining the course you receive optional study materials including videos, reading and reference resources. You can then book into an upcoming aeroplane training day in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Perth. Droneit has CASA approval to deliver the entire endorsement in a single day. This allows you to complete the theory, exam, practical training and assessment during the same session.


Training follows a clear structure. The morning session covers face to face theory and your written exam. The afternoon session focuses on practical flying and your assessment. You train on industry aeroplane systems from our fleet and learn aircraft setup, launch techniques, flight planning, emergency procedures and fixed wing operating requirements.


Class sizes are small with three students to one instructor. Larger groups are available on request. If you need advice on course dates, availability or group bookings, contact the Droneit team for support.

    Remote Pilot Licence Aeroplane Endorsement


    A 7kg Aeroplane Endorsement strengthens your qualifications as a commercial drone pilot. Many industries rely on aeroplane category drones for long range mapping, corridor inspections, agricultural monitoring, environmental surveys and large scale data collection. Fixed wing aircraft offer strong endurance, high coverage rates and efficient flight profiles. ReOC holders prefer pilots who understand fixed wing operations and hold an endorsement issued through a certified CASA training provider.


    Droneit is a CASA approved drone training school in Australia. Our training meets CASA and insurance requirements and teaches the knowledge needed to fly aeroplane category aircraft in commercial environments. The endorsement upgrades your existing RePL and is required if you want to work with fixed wing systems up to 7kg. Employers use aeroplane category drones across surveying, engineering, construction, utilities, agriculture and environmental services. Pilots with this endorsement are often prioritised because they understand performance characteristics, safety requirements and planning considerations for fixed wing flights.


    Why an Aeroplane Endorsement Has Value


    A ReOC holder must ensure every pilot operating under their certificate is endorsed for the aircraft type in use. Without the aeroplane endorsement you are not authorised to fly fixed wing aircraft for commercial work. This restricts job opportunities and the types of projects you can accept. Once endorsed you can complete missions that require long linear coverage, large area mapping and higher endurance. Companies rely on aeroplane systems for projects that need consistency and accuracy, and they prefer pilots who show they are committed to correct licensing and training. Holding the endorsement strengthens your professional profile and can lead to more frequent and better paid work.


    Training with Droneit


    Droneit training supports new and experienced pilots through a clear pathway. Students value our face to face instruction, small class sizes and practical focus. After enrollment you receive access to optional theory resources. You then attend your training day where an instructor guides you through theory, the written exam, practical flying and the assessment. This format builds confidence and prepares you for safe and compliant fixed wing operations.


    Droneit supports commercial pilots across Australia with certified CASA courses, practical training and clear licensing pathways. We help pilots earn their RePL, add endorsements and progress toward advanced roles in the drone industry. Contact Droneit or browse our website for more information on the 7kg Aeroplane Endorsement.

FAQS

Here are answers to some common questions. 
  • What is a remotely piloted aeroplane?

    A remotely piloted aeroplane is a fixed wing drone that stays in forward flight for the entire mission. The wings generate lift, which gives these aircraft strong endurance and efficient coverage of large areas. Aeroplane category drones are used for mapping, corridor inspections, environmental monitoring, broadacre agriculture and long range data collection. Pilots who complete the 7kg aeroplane endorsement are authorised to operate these aircraft for commercial work under a ReOC.

  • Do I need a Remote Pilot Licence first?

    Yes. The aeroplane endorsement is added to your current RePL. Your RePL must show the aeroplane category if you want to operate fixed wing aircraft in commercial environments. If you already hold a RePL you can enrol in the endorsement immediately and book into an upcoming training day.

  • Who needs a 7kg aeroplane endorsement?

    Any pilot operating a fixed wing aircraft for commercial purposes needs the aeroplane category added to their RePL. ReOC holders must ensure every pilot under their certificate is endorsed for the aircraft being flown. If you want to work in surveying, agriculture, environmental monitoring, construction or utilities, the aeroplane category is often requested because these industries rely on efficient fixed wing platforms for large scale work.

  • What is a ReOC and do I need one to fly an aeroplane category drone?

    A ReOC is a Remote Operator Certificate issued by CASA. It authorises a business to run commercial RPAS operations. You do not need your own ReOC to fly a fixed wing aircraft. You only need the aeroplane endorsement on your RePL. For commercial work you must operate under a business that holds a ReOC or apply for your own if you want to manage and authorise your own operations.

  • Do I need a licence on my own land?

    You do not require a RePL if you meet all of the following:

    You own the drone.

    The drone weighs between 100g and 25kg.

    You or someone flying on your behalf is only flying over land you own or lease.

    No payment is made for the flight.

    Commercial work is not included in this rule. If the flight supports a business activity you must hold a RePL and the aeroplane endorsement, and the flight must occur under a ReOC. A fixed wing aircraft up to 150kg requires a RePL if the person flying is conducting the work on your behalf.

  • What is an ARN?

    An ARN is an Aviation Reference Number issued by CASA. It is your unique aviation identifier used for licence applications, drone registration and endorsement upgrades. Every pilot must hold an individual ARN. A business that wants to hold a ReOC or register drones under a company name also requires an organisation ARN.

  • RA1 - Control on ground, launch and landing

    This unit explains how powered lift aircraft work and why they behave differently to multi rotor and fixed wing systems. Students learn how lift is created in vertical and forward flight, how the aircraft transitions between modes, and how motors, wings and control surfaces interact with the flight controller. The unit covers performance, endurance, payload considerations, stability, aircraft limitations, and the common hazards associated with powered lift operations. Students also learn the operating rules set by CASA, pre flight planning requirements and emergency procedures specific to powered lift aircraft.

  • RA2 - Climb, cruise and descent

    This unit focuses on forward-flight handling. You learn how to climb to altitude, maintain efficient cruise, follow planned tracks and descend safely. These skills form the core of mapping, surveying and long-range inspection work.

  • RA3 - Turns, approaches and controlled flight

    This unit teaches you how to complete accurate turns, manage approach paths and maintain consistent control throughout the flight. Students practise holding headings, adjusting for wind and flying smooth, predictable lines used in commercial data capture.

  • RA4 Advanced manoeuvres

    This unit covers controlled forward flight. Students learn how to climb to altitude, maintain level efficient cruise, track accurately along survey lines, and descend safely. Forward flight handling is essential for mapping, linear inspections and large area surveys.

  • RA5 - Manage abnormal situations at altitude and near the ground

    This unit trains you to recognise and respond to abnormal or emergency situations. You learn how to manage instability, loss of performance, environmental effects, automation issues and other in-flight problems. The goal is to maintain control and return the aircraft safely during unexpected events.

  • RP5 - Manage abnormal situations at altitude and near the ground

    This unit teaches how to identify and respond to abnormal or emergency situations in both vertical and forward flight. Students learn how to manage instability, unexpected drift, transition faults, automation issues, wind effects and other in flight problems. The goal is to ensure pilots can recognise issues early, remain in control and recover the aircraft safely.
