<25Kg Remote Pilot Licence (RePL)

We are real drone pilots with real-world experience. We will guide you from knowing nothing about the industry, certifying you, becoming a Chief Remote Pilot and even starting your own company. We can do this because we did it ourselves. We know how the industry works and we want to share it with you. 


Unlike other training schools who will sell you a book to study, our <25kg drone training course is completed in stages. The stages include interactive self-study, watching multiple course videos, attending a live online class, joining our instructors for a full day of flight training, ending with a full day of assessments. Our online learning platform is the most advanced and user-friendly platform in the world. That, combined with 5 days face-to-face with our experienced instructors, will prepare you for the drone industry.

What is a Remote Pilot Licence? (RePL)


A Powered Lift Endorsement upgrades your Remote Pilot Licence so you operate powered lift aircraft up to 7kg for commercial work. Powered lift platforms offer vertical take off and landing with efficient forward flight, which is why they are used for mapping, linear inspections, large property surveys, and projects that need longer endurance than a multi rotor. This endorsement strengthens your licensing and expands the type of commercial operations you can complete under a ReOC.


Enrollment is instant. Once you join the course you receive access to optional study materials including videos, reading, and reference resources. You can then book yourself into the next available powered lift training day in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth. Droneit holds CASA approval to deliver the entire endorsement in a single day. Many providers split their course across two days, but our approval allows us to complete theory, exam, practical training, and assessment on the same day.


Training days follow a clear structure. The morning session includes a face to face theory class and your written exam. The afternoon includes practical training and your flight assessment. You will train on industry powered lift aircraft such as the Wingtra II, the Trinity F90, or other VTOL systems in our fleet. Instructors focus on aircraft setup, control techniques, emergency procedures, and powered lift operating requirements.


Class sizes are small with a ratio of three students to one instructor. Larger group bookings are available on request. If you need clarification on course dates, availability, or group training options, contact the Droneit team for support.

    Remote Pilot Licence Powered Lift Endorsement


    A 7kg Powered Lift Endorsement strengthens your credentials as a commercial drone pilot. Many industries now rely on powered lift aircraft for long range mapping, asset inspections, agricultural monitoring, emergency support tasks, and large area surveys. These aircraft deliver longer endurance and higher efficiency compared to traditional multi rotor systems. Companies that hold a ReOC recognise the value of pilots who understand powered lift operations, and they prefer operators who 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 supports the specific knowledge needed to fly powered lift aircraft in commercial environments. The endorsement is an upgrade to your existing RePL and is necessary if you want to work with powered lift systems such as the Wingtra II, Trinity F90, or any other VTOL aircraft up to 7kg. Employers use powered lift drones for major projects in surveying, engineering, construction, utilities, agriculture, and environmental work. A pilot with this endorsement is often prioritised for these roles because the training confirms the pilot understands the operating rules, performance characteristics, safety requirements, and planning steps required for powered lift flights.


    Why a Powered Lift Endorsement Has Value

    A ReOC holder must ensure every pilot operating under their certificate is endorsed for the aircraft in use. Without the endorsement you are not authorised to fly powered lift aircraft for commercial work. This limits your job opportunities and restricts the types of projects you can accept. Once you hold the endorsement you can complete powered lift missions that require greater range, improved efficiency, and higher data quality. Companies rely on powered lift drones for work that demands accuracy and consistency, and they prefer pilots who show a commitment to proper licensing and training. Holding the endorsement strengthens your professional standing and improves your chances of securing more frequent and better paid work.


    Training with Droneit

    Droneit training supports students through a structured pathway that suits new and experienced pilots. Students have noted that our face to face instruction, small class sizes, and practical approach make it easier to understand complex aircraft systems and operating rules. You receive access to optional theory resources after enrollment, then you attend your face to face training day where the instructor guides you through theory, exam, practical flying, and assessment. This approach gives you confidence in your skills and prepares you for safe commercial operations.


    Droneit supports commercial pilots across Australia through certified CASA courses, practical training, and clear licensing pathways. We help pilots earn their RePL, obtain endorsements, and progress toward advanced roles within the drone industry. For more information on the 7kg Powered Lift Endorsement, contact Droneit or browse our website.

FAQS

Here are answers to some common questions. 
  • What is a RePL?

    A remote pilot licence (RePL) allows you to fly remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) in circumstances that need specialist training.

    You'll need to apply for a RePL if you want to fly:

    • a drone larger than 2 kg for commercial operations - any time you earn money for flying
    • outside the drone safety rules (standard operating conditions)
    • for a remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate (ReOC) holder.

    If you want to fly for commercial purposes, you must also either hold a ReOC or work for a ReOC holder. If you get paid for flying your drone - you are flying commercially.

  • Is a RePL all I need?

    If you want to fly a drone over 2Kg for commercial purposes, you must also either hold a ReOC or work for a ReOC holder. If you get paid for flying your drone - you are flying commercially.


    RePLs do not expire.

  • What is an AROC?

    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?

    A remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate (ReOC) allows you to earn money for flying, employ remote pilot licence (RePL) holders and fly outside the drone safety rules - also known as the standard operating conditions.

    A ReOC allows you to:

    • Flying closer than 30 metres.
    • Get approval to fly within restricted airspace, near aerodromes and extended and beyond visual line-of-sight variations.
    • Fly at night
    • Fly as close as 15m to people
    • Submit a Notice to Airmen alert (NOTAM).
  • 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 your unique ID number that CASA uses to identify you each time you communicate with them. You need to obtain an ARN in order to complete your RePL, AROC, or ReOC.
