Uncrewed Approvals' current processing fee for a standard application is $1450, including GST. That fee must be paid up front when the application is submitted. Our fee includes preparing your RPAS Operations Manual.

Uncrewed Approvals aims to have ReOC's issued within 14 days of receipt of the complete application package. When submitting your application you should ensure that you are able to allocate time within the next few days to complete the job scenario and telephone interview components of the assessment.

The Uncrewed Approvals ReOC application processing fee includes:

• provision of a customised RPAS Operations Manual including procedures for operations within 3NM of non-controlled aerodromes, operations down to 15 metres of people and night operations;
• a review of the application package;
• access to our pre-assessment resources and check quiz;
• the Chief Remote Pilot’s interview assessment;
• the issue and review of a knowledge deficiency report if required;
• liaison with your training organisation if additional coaching is required;
• issue of the ReOC; and
• forwarding of the completed application pack to CASA.

ReOC assessments are composed of 3 or 4 segments:

1. Document Review
2. Job Scenario
3. Interview
4. Knowledge Deficiency Report (Sometimes)

The 'Document Review' component is completed by your assigned assessor and is just a check that your manuals contain all of the CASA mandated content. If you have obtained your manuals from Uncrewed Approvals or one of our preferred manual providers then this part of the assessment has already been completed.

The 'Job Scenario' involves you completing the pre-job planning for a scenario which you will be provided. Uncrewed Approvals tries to customize the scenarios that it provides its clients so that it is a realistic example of the type of job in an area which you are planning to operate. We feel that provides additional value to you by allowing you to explore the issues that you are likely to encounter when you start operating with your assessor.

The 'Interview' includes a range of set questions relating to the provisions of CASR 101, your responsibilities as Chief Remote Pilot and a review of your response to the scenario.

The 'Knowledge Deficiency Report' (KDR) may or may not be required depending on how you go with the interview. Where you are unable to provide a correct answer to an interview question or the assessor feels that you need to demonstrate a better understanding of a subject you will be provided with a KDR  at the conclusion of the interview.  You will be required to submit correct answers to each item within the KDR prior to being assessed as competent.
Important note: CASA places limits on the number of elements that can be included on a KDR. In some cases a complete reassessment including submission of an additional job scenario may be required.

ReOC applications must include an Operations Manual and an Operational Procedures Library. Both of these manuals must be based on the CASA templates and customised to include your organisation's details.

Many RPAS training organisations offer a manual preparation service.

Uncrewed Approvals can have your manuals prepared using a 3rd party manual preparation service provider for $250.

ReOC applications processed by industry delegates must be made on Form 101-06. This form is different from what is used if your application is being processed directly by CASA.

We have developed a Sole Trader - Guide to completing Form 101-06 and a Company / Organisation - Guide to completing Form 101-06 which are step by step guides to completing the form.

There are several pieces of documentation that you are required to support your ReOC application. They are listed below or you can download our ReOC Application Checklist if you prefer to have a piece of paper in front of you to work from.
