Rapid Agriculture Bundle

Start operating in just 3 weeks*

Wicked Copters has been working in the "Agriculture by Drone" (RPA) field since 2018. We worked with clients in the "early days" to obtain EPA approval and even SWARMING.

The focus of this package is not only to provide you with the CASA required knowledge and practical experience, but also get you operating faster. You will receive manufacture training, practical real-world use-cases with a focus on using tools like Pix4D to enhance your capability (Variable Rates, Spot Spraying, etc).

Upon completion of this course, you will receive your CASA-Issued Remote Pilot Licence (RePL) Multi Rotor for any Small (sub 25kg) and your specific model Medium (sub 150kg) RPA:

  • XAG: P150, P100 Pro, P100, P30, V40
  • DJI: T50, T40, T30, T25
  • Note: Each Medium RPA requires training and assessment

You will also obtain the Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate (AROC) and English Language Proficiency (ELP). Wicked Copters also issues you with a Certificate of Attainment.

Wicked Copters will manage your entire Agriculture-specific Remotely Pilot Operator's Certificate (ReOC) and is typically issued within 3 weeks (*following the successful completion of the RePL and submission of all documentation). Your ReOC will include:

  • a detailed Agricultral Procedure for your daily operations,
  • SWARM (one to many) Procedure with internal training,
  • and EVLOS Class 1 and 2 Procedure {No BVLOS-OCTA / IREX required) with internal training,
  • Note: CASA fees apply to lodge the SWARM and EVLOS procedures; Internal training enables the Chief Remote Pilot to sign-off their pilots internally.

Already have your RePL and / or ReOC? No problem, contact us to setup your customised training!

This course is approved by CASA and compliant with the new syllabus defined in the Part 101 MOS. Wicked Copters will provide you with relevant Manufacturer Training as well.

Did you know that there are only TWO approved training providers for XAG in Australia? Wicked Copters are the only approved provider for all types (Aeroplane, Helicopter, Multi Rotor and Powered Lift) to 25 kg and we run courses Australia Wide.
