Get approvals in place — and keep your operations moving
Overview
Most commercial RPAS operations don’t fail because of poor flying.
They fail because the required approvals aren’t in place.
Whether you’re operating:
- Near controlled airspace
- Around aerodromes
- Above 400 ft
- Or in complex environments
You need the right authorisations — and you need them managed properly.
Uncrewed Approvals supports operators to obtain and manage operational authorisations in line with Civil Aviation Safety Authority requirements and real-world ATC processes.
What We Do
We help you:
- Identify what approvals are actually required
- Select the most efficient approval pathway
- Prepare supporting documentation and procedures
- Engage with Air Traffic Control (ATC) where required
- Set up systems to manage approvals ongoing
The goal is simple: keep your operation moving without regulatory friction
Our Operational Authorisation Services
Area Approvals (Controlled Airspace Operations)
Operate safely and legally in controlled airspace.
We support applications for operations:
- Within controlled airspace (CTR/CTA)
- Near aerodromes (including within 3 NM environments)
- In areas requiring coordination with ATC
Includes:
- Application preparation and submission
- Coordination with relevant authorities
- Identification of applicable automated vs manual approval pathways
- Development of supporting procedures
Many approvals can be streamlined when approached correctly.
Operations Above 400 ft
Enable operations above the standard height limitation.
We support approvals for operations exceeding 400 ft AGL where operationally required.
Includes:
- Operational justification and design
- Risk assessment and mitigation development
- Integration with airspace and traffic considerations
- Supporting documentation for CASA approval
Suitable for inspection, mapping, and specialised operations.
Shielded Operations
Operate above 400 ft in proximity to structures.
Shielded operations are often underutilised — but can be highly effective.
We help you:
- Understand where shielded operations apply
- Develop procedures aligned with structure-based protection
- Integrate shielded operations into your manuals and SOPs
- Apply them safely and consistently
One of the most practical pathways for expanding operational capability.
Aerodrome Operations
Operate safely near active aerodromes.
We support operations:
- Within the vicinity of certified and non-certified aerodromes
- In environments with active crewed traffic
- Requiring CTAF or ATC coordination
Includes:
- Operational planning and risk assessment
- Communication procedures
- Coordination with aerodrome operators or ATC
- Development of site-specific procedures
These operations require precision — both operationally and procedurally.
How This Works
We tailor support based on your operation and environment.
Approval Setup
- Identify required authorisations
- Prepare and submit applications
- Establish supporting procedures
Operational Integration
- Embed approvals into your manuals and SOPs
- Train your team on correct application
- Ensure approvals are usable in practice
Ongoing Management
- Track approval validity and conditions
- Manage renewals and variations
- Support recurring and scalable operations
Who This Is For
- ReOC holders operating near controlled airspace
- Operators working around aerodromes
- Organisations requiring repeatable approvals
- Operators expanding beyond standard limitations
- Enterprise RPAS programs needing structured approval systems
Why It Matters
Without the right authorisations:
- Operations are delayed or stopped
- Compliance risks increase
- Clients lose confidence
- Opportunities are missed
With the right approach:
- Approvals are faster and more predictable
- Operations become repeatable
- Risk is managed properly
- Capability expands safely
Why Uncrewed Approvals
- Deep experience with operational approvals across Australia
- Strong understanding of CASA and ATC processes
- Proven approaches accepted across multiple operations
- Practical focus — approvals that actually work in the field
We don’t just help you get approvals.
We help you use them effectively.
