A new category of “excluded RPA” came into effect with regulation changes introduced on 29 September 2016. This category is subject to reduced regulatory requirements. Excluded Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operators are either:

• Sub 2kg units operating within Standard Operating Conditions or,
• Sub 25kg units operating within Standard Operating Conditions on their own property.

It will depend on factors including size and purpose. An Excluded Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operator (a category which is subject to reduced regulatory requirements usually because the RPA is under 2kg) will need to hold either a Remotely Pilot Licence or a Certificate by a registered CASA trainer and be member of a RPA industry association. All other operators must also hold a Remote Operators Certificate (ReOC).

The risks of using a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) are mainly around liability for any associated damage or injury.

QBE analysis identifies some common cause of losses including:

• Pilot error during pre-flight software preparation
• Wildlife
• Pilot error during flight
• Battery degradation due to excessive use.

QBE offers a range of insurance covers specifically designed for RPAs operators.
