Australian Drone Laws
Post Publish Fix: Another rule is that you cannot fly within 5.5km/3nm of an emergency operation whether it’s a bush fire, police operation or mass medical emergency, ‘if you fly, they can’t’.
If you’re new here, hello and a very warm welcome. I’m James, an aeroplane pilot in training and licensed drone pilot. I enjoy sharing my aviation and person experiences to teach and/or entertain you!

Optional declaration: all RPA operations were conducted within CASR part 101 piloted by a CASR part 61licensed pilot using a CASR part 47 registered RPA.

Ya looking mad fresh on the field
Perhaps you could make a video explaining the legend of each of cassa’s rules they place on their apps, as they don’t have any legend explaining the significance of the colours it makes no sense even opening the no fly app.
can I flight fpv if I can still see it without the goggles?
Cut the music I can barely hear you
you need to lose that stupid music in the videos makes it hard to hear you and its horrid music
OK mate GREAT Vid thanks for the info, I will be a new Drone Daddy in a couple weeks (DJI Mini Pro 3) so handy to know this. BUT your background music is too loud and actually drowns out some of what youre saying.
👍
It’s clear the people making these laws have never seen let alone flown a drone.
The music was too loud and distracting to give you a thumbs up. Other than that, great job.
not tryig to be rude but did you make many of your mistakes on purpose refering to definisions you stated ? eg. becoming aware of other un-maned aircraft within 5.5km of and airfileld that is controled. im sure you ment maned air craft, same with a drone and fly to 400ft 120m as maned aircraft have a min not max of 500ft 150m . sorry to nit pick. but please correct me if i am wrong, im here to learn
From which area in Australia you are?
OK so I currently have a PPL so where abouts does this fit in with the somewhat restrictive rules imposed by CASA. , You might like to use a better Mic too ,
Great video mate and thank you for the information.
Thank for the Video 😉 I am visiting Australia (from California) in few weeks and well, I am definitely planning to capture some drone footages. I have watched the Video on CASA website (good general info) as well as few similar videos like yours here on YouTube. I just wonder if being a licensed drone operator (obtained in the USA) would cover me over there in Australia as well? Thanks.
Good and useful video , why aren’t you uploading next ?
Who ever makes these stupid laws up sits in an office chewing on donuts all day and wouldn’t know what a drone looks like
Hi, I have a mavic pro, the main reason I bought it was to explore hills and cliffs around my area, it’s mostly rural land. What qualifications would I need to be able to fly beyond Vlos? If I’m to be restricted to 100 or so metres I could of done that with a $50 Kmart drone.
Hey thanks for the info. I was wondering where you can go to study for the test?
hey mate nice video! I have some questions tho.
What certification would I need to get in order to fly a Mavic mini for commercial purposes?
Does the RePL only applies in Australia or can also be recognized in other countries or the world?
Cheers!
Great video, I respect what you are providing in terms of the rules. Unfortunately you are flying over people and property in the cars. Maybe a minor edit. I fully support your message.
The music at the start is louder than his voice
We get ripped off for drone registration $40 each drone! We should only pay for a account not pay for drone registration per drone….Typical Australian Government any excuse too bleed our bank accounts 🙄
Good job hammy
Hi am I allowed to fly over residential areas
which law is your favourite hamster?
great video! any chance you can make one on what it means for FPV flying? Thanks
