Prime Person Employment and Engagement

In plain language

The person you nominate as your prime person must be employed or contracted for enough hours to properly manage the safety and scale of your drone operation.

Requirement as structured

CAA NZ requires the nominated prime person to be employed, contracted, or otherwise engaged to work sufficient hours to fulfill their functions based on the organization's size and scope.

Original regulatory text

The nominee must be employed, contracted, or otherwise engaged to work sufficient hours to fulfil the prime person functions appropriate to the size and scope of the organisation. If an applicant has no one they can nominate from within their own organisation, they can contract from outside – at least until such time as someone else gains enough experience to apply successfully to be the prime person.
