What we deliver

Part 101 Pilot Certificate

The pilot qualification the 4 km aerodrome rule asks for. Right for teams flying inside the Part 101 limits — inspections, site photography, mapping small areas.

Part 102 RPAS Pilot Certificate

The pilot qualification for working under an organisation’s Part 102 certificate (UAOC) — beyond visual line of sight, over people who haven’t consented, above 400 ft, complex sites. We can also support your Part 102 application.

Operational Competency Assessments

Practical assessments that confirm each pilot’s currency and give you documented, CAA-aligned competency for your safety system. Part 102 pilot currency runs one year.

Night Rating and refreshers

Hands-on night operations training for teams that fly after dark, and refresher sessions when procedures, aircraft or the rules change.

How it works

Scoping call

What your pilots do, where they fly, what they hold now, and what your safety system or clients require. We recommend the right mix.

Theory

Online at each pilot’s own pace, or an instructor-led classroom day on your site or at our venues in Wellington, Christchurch and Auckland.

Practical assessments

A CAA-approved examiner assesses each pilot in person — on your site, flying the aircraft they actually use.

Certificates and records

A certificate for every pilot who passes, one invoice to the organisation, and a summary of who is certified and when their currency is due.
