RePL Courses

Flying Glass offers CASA-approved RePL (Remote Pilot Licence) courses across Australia, designed for anyone who wants to build a professional career in drone operations. Whether you are completely new to aviation or already have experience flying recreationally, our courses provide the essential training and certification required to work legally and confidently as a remote pilot.

With more than 30 years of aviation experience and an outstanding record across TV, film, and enterprise projects, Flying Glass delivers training that blends theory with practical expertise. Our instructors are active operators as well as educators, meaning the guidance you receive is informed by real-world flying and industry practice, not just the rule book.

The RePL course covers meteorology, navigation, mission planning, air law, and human factors, alongside extensive hands-on flight training. You will learn to operate drones safely in Australian airspace, preparing you to meet CASA requirements and to tackle the challenges of professional drone work. For those looking to progress further, we also offer additional endorsements, including the ability to fly heavier RPA or operate at night.

A CASA-issued RePL is now considered the foundation qualification for commercial drone pilots. It opens opportunities across a wide range of industries, from aerial cinematography and photography through to agriculture, construction, inspection, and surveying. Employers and clients look for pilots who are certified and properly trained, and completing your licence with Flying Glass ensures you stand out.

Flying Glass is both a CASA-certified operator and an accredited training provider, so we understand both sides of the industry — training pilots and flying the jobs ourselves. Our courses are structured to give you knowledge, confidence, and a pathway into this fast-growing sector.
