Notification of RPA operations for hire or reward

In plain language

If you are flying a drone commercially under the 'excluded category' (without a ReOC), you must notify CASA before your first flight. You do not need to notify CASA if the operation is covered by a ReOC (UAV Operator's Certificate).

Requirement as structured

Before the first operation of an RPA for hire or reward under Division 101.F.5, the registration holder must notify CASA of the operation in writing, unless the operation is conducted by a person certified under Division 101.F.4.

Original regulatory text

Before the first operation of an RPA to which this Division applies (whether by the registration holder for the RPA or another person), the registration holder must notify CASA of the operation, in writing, in a form and manner approved by CASA... Subregulations (1) and (2) do not apply if the registration holder, or another person, is certified under Division 101.F.4 to conduct the operation.
