Part 102 Application Independent of Part 141 Qualifications
Verified from official sourcesVersion 1Effective -Verified 25 August 2026
In plain language
Even if you hold a qualification from a Part 141 drone training school, you must still submit a separate application to the CAA to obtain your official Part 102 certificate.
Requirement as structured
CAA NZ requires applicants to submit a separate application directly to the CAA for a Part 102 certificate, as qualifications from a Part 141 training organisation do not automatically constitute a Part 102 certificate.
Original regulatory text
Note: Any qualification you receive from a Part 141 training organisation is not a Part 102 certificate. You'll need to submit a separate application to the CAA for a Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate.
