Frequently Asked Questions

What is involved?

Swarm approval involves changes to your manuals to include the Swarm procedures, and most of the time, and especially with our carefully written procedures, a flight test will NOT be required.  We take of all the paperwork on your behalf, and deal directly with CASA, so you don’t have to.

Getting the procedures into your manuals is a pretty quick and painless affair. Depending on the CASA workload, please allow 8 weeks for CASA to assess and issue the instrument.

FPV Australia charge for the updates to your manuals and the consultancy during the entire process.  This is a flat fee of $3490 and is all inclusive of the CASA costs, application fees, and all of the work from our end.  We will update your manuals and get everything in order for you – We take care of it all.

Where and how does it happen?

Most of this process is done via email etc. 

However, in the unlikely event that CASA request a flight test, you will need somewhere to fly.  That can happen at your own property (if appropriate) or at a location that suits this type of operation.  If you can get to our Sydney training facility, you can complete the flight test there.  You will need your drones.

If CASA request a flight test – Yes you can.  CASA will issue a temporary instrument that will allow you to skill yourself up to become competent and ready to pass the flight test.  You can’t train until you have the temporary instrument – Remember, this is only in the unlikely event that CASA request a flight test.

Yes – Within reason.  The approval will allow for your Chief Remote Pilot to be able to choose the location, and assess if it is suitable for Swarm operations.  It is not restricted to one location.
