Operator Permit Variation for Road Operations

In plain language

If you already have an Operator Permit but want to start flying over medium or high-risk roads, you must apply to vary your existing permit and submit a new Activity Permit (AP1) application.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that an existing Operator Permit (OP) holder who has not previously been approved for VLOS operations over roads must apply for a variation of their OP for medium and high-risk roads, alongside a new AP1 Permit application.

Original regulatory text

An existing OP holder who has not been approved to perform VLOS operations over roads before and wishes to do so, will need to put up a variation of OP application (for medium and high risk roads, as relevant) together with a new AP1 Permit application.
