The pilot’s profile also enables them to share information about the licences and training they have completed to meet your requirements.
For Advanced projects, Aerologix has a Chief Remote Pilot who ensures that all flight plans are compliant with CASA and CAA regulations and that pilots assigned to projects are appropriately qualified and experienced, with relevant licences and training, if necessary, for all projects.
With a rapidly growing pilot network of over 20,000 pilots across Australia, and more coming in the near future as we launch into New Zealand, you can order a project anytime and anywhere via our client web portal.
