Student-to-Instructor Ratios

In plain language

Training schools must limit class sizes to a maximum of 10 students per instructor for theory and general practical sessions, and a maximum of 3 students per instructor when students are actually flying the drones.

Requirement as structured

RePL training organisations must ensure student-to-instructor ratios do not exceed 10:1 for theory and general practical training, and 3:1 for students actively flying an RPA.

Original regulatory text

To deliver a RePL training course, a RePL training organisation must ensure that the ratio of students to RePL training instructors is not greater than: (a) for the theoretical component (aeronautical knowledge component) — 10 students to 1 instructor... and (b) for the practical component (practical competency component): (i) subject to subparagraph (ii), 10 students to 1 instructor; and (ii) for students each actually flying an RPA — 3 students to 1 instructor.
