Documenting Night Operation Procedures

In plain language

To fly a drone at night under a ReOC, you must document your procedures. You can do this easily by using CASA's sample operations manual template and attaching CASA Instrument 01/17, or you can write your own procedures and apply for custom approval.

Requirement as structured

CASA states that operators must document their night flight practices and procedures by either using the templated procedures from the sample operations manual (including CASA Instrument 01/17 in Appendix C) or applying for a custom approval with self-created procedures.

Original regulatory text

To document your practices and procedures, you can either: - use the templated procedures from sample operations manual and insert a copy of CASA Instrument 01/17 in Appendix C Permissions, Exemptions and Approvals - apply for an approval to operate RPA at night with procedures you have created.
