Route to operating post course
After a candidate has completed the course, there are three routes for an individual/organisation to operate drones over 25kg and to drop articles for Agricultural, Horticultural & Forestry purposes.
- Develop their own Operational Safety Case and obtain an independent OA. The course assists in demonstrating competence for this.
- We consult and assist in developing their OSC and hand-hold through the OA application process. Again the course assists in demonstrating competence.
- A hybrid approach to the above. An individual or organisation as a client may be allowed to operate for us, under our OA for a temporary period in order to allow training and an OSC to be developed using either methods 1 or 2 as described above. This follows an independent case-by-case assessment.
Guidance for the CAA OSC process can be found within Civil Aviation Publication 722A.
Please note that the use of spraying and spreading of a pesticide is subject to additional legislation and is not permitted unless an aerial permit is obtained from the HSE.
