In Australia, the requirement for a license or registration to fly the Aeroo Pro drone depends on the purpose of your flight — recreational or commercial.
Recreational Use:
If you're flying the Aeroo Pro purely for fun or personal enjoyment, and not for any commercial gain, you are not required to register the drone or obtain a license. However, you must adhere to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) drone safety rules.
Safety Rules Include:
- Flying only during daylight hours and in good weather conditions.
- Keeping the drone within visual line of sight at all times.
- Maintaining a distance of at least 30m from other people.
- Not flying over people, populous areas, or within 5.5 km of controlled aerodromes.
- Not flying higher than 120m above ground level.
For a comprehensive list of rules, refer to CASA's drone safety guidelines.
Commercial Use:
If you intend to use the Aeroo Pro for commercial purposes — such as selling aerial photos or videos, inspecting infrastructure, or any activity where you receive remuneration — you must:
- Register the Drone with CASA.
- Obtain Operator Accreditation, which involves completing an online course and quiz (required for drones under 2kg).
- Apply for a Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) if the drone is over 2kg, or if you wish to operate outside the standard operating conditions.
Summary:
- Recreational Use: No registration or license is required, but you must follow CASA's safety rules.
- Commercial Use: Registration and appropriate accreditation or licensing are mandatory.
