WHY THIS COURSE EXISTS

Your RePL limits you to flying within visual line of sight. To remove that limitation and operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight outside controlled airspace, CASA requires you to pass the BVLOS OCTA exam — a genuinely demanding aviation theory exam covering air law, meteorology, navigation, human factors and risk management.

​

Most pilots who fail don't fail because they can't fly. They fail because they studied alone, from the wrong material, without exam practice. This course fixes that.

​

WHAT YOU GET:​

• 2 full days of live instruction from instructors who plan and fly BVLOS operations commercially with DIWA — not just teach them

• The complete BVLOS OCTA syllabus: air law and CASA regulations, airspace, meteorology, navigation and GNSS, human factors, detect-and-avoid, communications, emergency management and operational risk

• Exam-style practice questions throughout, plus a full mock exam under exam conditions on day 2

• Guidance on booking your CASA exam — we walk you through the PEXO exam booking process before you leave

• Post-course support: email access to your instructor until you sit your exam

• If you don't pass on the first attempt, resit our course for free.

​

Note: The CASA BVLOS OCTA exam is sat separately through CASA's exam provider. The CASA exam fee of AUD $175.69 is not included in the course price.

WHO THIS IS FOR:

• RePL holders ready to remove the visual-line-of-sight limitation

• Pilots and operators in mining, utilities, surveying and inspection moving into long-range work

• Organisations building BVLOS capability ahead of a CASA approval

• Anyone who has looked at the OCTA syllabus and thought "I don't want to do this alone"

​
