The CASA defined Standard Operating Conditions determine what process we must go though to ensure our operations stay safe and legal. The SOC's are listed below - these regulations are there to ensure our safety.
Join an Inspectrum UAS RePL training course to learn more about these and other regulations, and enjoy flying safe in the knowledge you are legal.
