Uncrewed Approvals provides a sensible fixed price, no-nonsense and timely alternative means of obtaining your Remote Operator Certificate (ReOC). Uncrewed Approvals’ CASA approved delegate issues your ReOC, not CASA. Having an industry delegate issue your ReOC greatly streamlines the process and lowers the cost of obtaining your Remote Operator Certificate.
To do this we need application information that is accurate and complete. We aim to issue ReOCs that we are processing within 14 days of receiving the completed application pack. This occurs in almost all cases where the application documents are complete and don’t require modification or correction.
Cost
We charge $1350 (inc GST) for supplying a customised, plain english RPAS Operations Manual, and assessing and issuing a Remote Operator Certificate.
Required documentation
Application Forms
To process your ReOC application we need a completed Form 101-06 and the applicable additional information form.
- Form 101-06
- Sole Trader – Additional Information and Submission Checklist
- Company / Organisation – Additional Information and Submission Checklist
Manuals
We have developed a plain English RPAS Operations Manual which we provide as part of our service.
You can supply manuals which you have prepared yourself or have obtained from a 3rd party provider. Where manuals are provided by the applicant we charge an additional fee to cover the time involved in reviewing the manual. A quote for the review can be obtained by supplying your manual.
All manuals MUST be based on an approved CASA template that has been customised to include the details of your operation.
A CASA template is available using the link below. This template requires the addition of a lot of procedures to be developed to make it acceptable to CASA. CASA provides a ‘Guide to Customising RPAS Operations Manual Template‘ on the same webpage.
Supporting Documentation
We also need the following supporting documentation:
- ARN confirmation from CASA for the applicant (individual, sole trader, trust, or company)
- ARN confirmation from CASA for all of the senior personnel of the operator (Chief Remote Pilot, Maintenance Controller, Directors)
- If the application is by a Trust – proof that the name of the Chief Remote Pilot or named principal of the business is shown in the Trust Deed
- If the application uses a trading name – proof that the applicant owns the trading name.
- A copy of the Chief Remote Pilot’s RePL.
Making Payment
You can pay for your application by using our online payment processor, or by direct deposit. Direct deposit details can be found on our payment details form.
Checking your application
We strongly suggest that you use our ReOC Application Submission Checklist to confirm that all of the required forms and supporting documents have been included prior to sending your application for processing.
Application submission
ReOC applications may be submitted by email, file share or post.
- Email applications should be sent to admin @ uncrewedapprovals.com.au.
- Applications may be submitted by uploading your documents to a folder on any of Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive and sharing the folder. (if this sounds a bit foreign then it might be better to use one of the other methods)
- Postal applications should be sent with documents on a USB stick to: Uncrewed Approvals, 160 Rochedale Road, Rochedale QLD 4123.
Please note that we only accept applications in electronic format ( we are attempting to save the planet 1 tree at a time) and will NOT send the USB sticks back to you.
