Excluded RPA conditions during flight training

In plain language

Any drone you fly is considered 'excluded' if you are flying it strictly to receive training from a certified flight school and you follow their official training procedures.

Requirement as structured

An RPA is classified as an excluded RPA if it is operated solely for receiving training from a certified RPA operator and in accordance with that operator's documented training procedures.

Original regulatory text

(8) An RPA is an excluded RPA if it is being operated: (a) by a person solely for the purpose of the person receiving training from an RPA operator who holds a certificate under Division 101.F.4 that authorises the operator to conduct operations using the RPA; and (b) in accordance with the operator’s documented training procedures.
