First-time BVLOS Flight Assessment and Training Area

In plain language

If this is your first BVLOS application, CASA will likely want to assess you flying. You can nominate a low-risk training area under 400 feet to practice and conduct this assessment.

Requirement as structured

CASA states that first-time BVLOS applicants will likely need to undergo an assessment performing a BVLOS flight, and suggests selecting a low-risk training area typically below 400 feet AGL (SAIL II) to obtain a training and testing instrument.

Original regulatory text

If this is your first BVLOS application, we will likely need to assess you performing a BVLOS flight. Through your application, you may choose a low risk training area, typically below 400 feet above ground level (SAIL II). This allows us to issue a training and testing instrument for practice flights and support preparations for your onsite assessment.
