Beyond Visual Line of Sight

Designed for experienced remote pilots, this training program delivers the theoretical foundation required for the CASA Beyond Visual Line of Sight Outside Controlled Airspace (BVLOS OCTA) examination. Achieving this theoretical training and exam pass enables operators to legally execute advanced RPAS missions under an approved ReOC across Australian non-controlled airspace, significantly expanding operational range and data collection efficiency while minimising field deployments.

This course also introduces the JARUS Specific Operations Risk Assessment (SORA) methodology and the practical development of a Concept of Operations (ConOps), both critical components of planning BVLOS operations beyond the scope of the CASA examination.

Program Overview

• Core Focus: Targeted theoretical preparation and practical knowledge application for the CASA BVLOS OCTA exam standard.

• Delivery Method: Expert-led instruction supplemented by contextual scenario-based exercises designed to deepen complex airspace and operational awareness.

This course is strictly preparatory; formal CASA BVLOS examinations are conducted externally and managed independently of Aviation Australia’s RTO framework.

Open To:

Remote Pilot Licence holders.

Exam bookings are not included with the course enrolment. The timeframe for self-study and exam scheduling following course completion is managed independently by the participant.
