Training & Certification
Do I need a licence to fly agricultural drones in Australia?
Yes. You’ll need a CASA-certified Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) and for medium-class drones like the DJI Agras T50 or T100, you’ll also require a Spray Drone Type Endorsement. To fly commercially, you will also need a Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC).

We provide:
- Remote Pilot Licence (RePL)
- DJI & XAG Spray Drone Type Endorsements
- Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC)
- Industry-specific training for precision agriculture
Who delivers the training?
We partner with FPV Australia, the country’s longest serving CASA-certified drone school, with more than 200 years of combined aviation experience in our team.
How much does RePL training cost?
RePL training with Air Radio Operators Certificate (AROC) costs $2490 for <7kg. To upgrade to <25kg, add $500. All course materials and training drones are provided.
How much does Spray Drone Type Endorsement training cost?
Full-day training and flight test is $1750. For experienced pilots, the flight test only option is $890. DJI Agras drone hire is available at $500/day.
What is a ReOC and do I need one?
A Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC) is required for businesses flying drones commercially for hire or reward. It allows you to apply for permissions outside standard safety rules. NQ Aerovation offers a complete ReOC certification package, including manuals, software, consultancy, and lifetime support.

Regular maintenance helps extend equipment lifespan, prevents unexpected failures, ensures safe operation, and keeps your drone working efficiently in the field.
