Gday from Perth guys,
My workplace is trialling using drones to regularly take pictures of containers being filled from the top (10m in the air). Previously we had someone climbing up only to take pictures then climb down afterwards.
I am just confused what accreditations and/or licenses do the company and/or myself need to get to do this properly.
The regular scenario will be like this:
I am confused with what accreditations and/or licenses we/I need to get from CASA because:
We have trialled this for a couple of months and it has been extremely successful. I am now very confident flying FPV (I guess few hours a day every day will do that, lol). Now we need to finalise this making it official with the right permits.
Thanks is advance guys
My workplace is trialling using drones to regularly take pictures of containers being filled from the top (10m in the air). Previously we had someone climbing up only to take pictures then climb down afterwards.

The regular scenario will be like this:
- The drone to take off from the front office to what we call "transit point" about 200m behind the office, 100m away from the container.
- Using UHF, the grabber operator will radio the pilot to take pictures
- The drone to take off from transit to take pictures then land back at the transit point (and radio back that it is OK to continue filling the container)
- Repeat step 2-3 until container is full.
- Then fly back to the office for picture downloads and replace the battery.
I am confused with what accreditations and/or licenses we/I need to get from CASA because:
- The drones are provided by work (not mine)
- I will have to operate the drones from the office
- The drones are NOT to leave the property in any circumstances.
We have trialled this for a couple of months and it has been extremely successful. I am now very confident flying FPV (I guess few hours a day every day will do that, lol). Now we need to finalise this making it official with the right permits.
Thanks is advance guys
