The aerial application of agrichemicals is a tightly controlled activity, which is regulated by Civil Aviation Rule Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operations.

Even if your drone weighs less than 25 kg fully loaded, you will still need a Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operator Certificate to perform this activity. Please contact us for more information.

 Finding all this a bit confusing?

Please consider investing in your own knowledge and skills by undertaking a drone pilot course.
