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 Powered Lift or VTOL?

    A powered lift VTOL aircraft is a drone that lifts off vertically then transitions to forward flight using fixed wings. This design delivers efficient long range performance and stable data capture. Powered lift aircraft are used for large property surveys, long linear inspections, agriculture, environmental work, and projects that need more endurance than a multi rotor. Examples include the Wingtra II and the Trinity F90. Pilots who complete the endorsement gain approval to operate these aircraft up to 7kg for commercial work under a ReOC.

  • Do I need a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) first?

    Yes. A Powered Lift VTOL endorsement is added to your existing RePL. The endorsement upgrades your licence so you are legally authorised to fly powered lift aircraft in controlled commercial operations. If you hold a current RePL you can enrol in the endorsement training at Droneit at any time. Enrollment is instant and you can then book into the next available training day.

  • Who needs a Powered Lift VTOL endorsement?

    An AROC is an aeronautical radio operator certificate. You will need an AROC as a RPAS operator if you intend to transmit on an aeronautical radio frequency.


    You must be 17 years old to obtain an AROC.

  • What is a ReOC and do I need one to fly a Powered Lift VTOL aircraft?

    A ReOC is a Remote Operator Certificate issued by CASA. It authorises a business to conduct commercial drone operations and set its own operating procedures. You do not need your own ReOC to fly a powered lift aircraft. You only need the Powered Lift VTOL endorsement added to your RePL. To fly commercially you must operate under a company or employer that holds a ReOC, or you can apply for your own ReOC if you want to run your own operations.

  • Do I need a licence on my own land?

    You do not require a RePL if:

    • you own the drone
    • your drone weighs between 100g and 25kg*
    • you - or someone flying on your behalf - are only flying over your own property
    • the drone and land are owned or leased by the same person
    • no money is paid for conducting the flight.

    *You can fly a drone weighing up to 150 kg if you (or the person flying on your behalf) holds a RePL.

  • What is an ARN?

    An ARN is an Aviation Reference Number issued by CASA. It is your unique aviation identity used for all licence applications, drone registrations, and updates to your RePL or endorsements. Every remote pilot requires an individual ARN. Businesses that want to hold a ReOC or register drones under a company name also apply for an organisation ARN.

  • RBKP - Aircraft knowledge and operation principles

    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.

  • RP1 - Control on ground, launch, hover and landing

    This unit teaches the basic handling skills required before and after transition. Students learn safe ground control, pre flight checks, arming procedures, vertical take off, stable hovering, directional control at low height and accurate vertical landing. These skills form the foundation for all powered lift flying.

  • RP2 - Transition to and from vertical flight

    This unit focuses on the most important phase of powered lift flying, the transition. Students learn how the aircraft moves from vertical flight into forward wing supported flight, how pitch and control inputs change, and how the flight controller manages this movement. The unit also teaches how to transition back into vertical mode for landing and what to do if the transition becomes unstable.

  • RP3 - Climb, cruise and descent

    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.

  • RP4 - Advanced manoeuvres

    This unit teaches higher accuracy flight tasks used in real commercial operations. Students complete controlled turns, smooth approaches, track management, directional adjustments and other manoeuvres that strengthen confidence and precision. This prepares pilots for demanding jobs where accuracy and consistency matter.

  • 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.
