Use of RPAs and its diverse
capabilities
• CASA prioritise EMS applications and
provide assistance for speedy approvals

Growth of the RPAs and CASA’s
focus on safety

CASA’s current regulations
Rule 1 You must only operate this
aircraft in your line-of-sight
in daylight. Don’t let it get
too far away from you.
Rule 2 It’s illegal to fly it for money or
economic reward unless you have an
unmanned operator’s certificate
issued by the Civil Aviation Safety
Authority.
Rule 3 You must not fly closer
than 30 meters to vehicles,
boats, buildings or people.
Rule 6 Do not fly within
5.5 km of an airfield.
Rule 5 If you are in controlled
airspace, which covers most
Australian cities, you must not
fly higher than 400 feet (120m)
Rule 4 You must not fly over any populous
area, such as beaches, other people’s
backyards, heavily populated parks, or
sports ovals where there is a game in
progress. (Not a big issue on most
farms, admittedly.)

Proposed regulatory framework
• Will be based on risks
associated with
different levels of
weight and speed of
the RPAs
• Pilot proficiency
standards for certain
operations
C I V I L A V I A T I O N S A F E T Y A U T H O R I T Y
Integration of RPAs into airspace
• Expansion of
operations will
depend on safe and
seamless integration
of RPAs into all
classes of airspace
• Request for BVLOS
approvals are
increasing

Forming safety partnership to
achieve better safety outcomes
• CASA does not hold
all knowledge
• Need to work together
