Complete your Remote Pilot Licence training

The free study guide is a strong theory foundation. To actually be issued with a RePL, students still complete approved training, practical flying and assessment with a certified provider.

Review pending

The downloadable edition is a starter web export, not the final polished book layout. It should be replaced with a full designed PDF once the complete rewrite and aviation review are finished.

Legal and publication note

This material supports study only. It does not replace current CASA, Airservices or approved operator procedures. Copyright and open licence wording should be confirmed before any wider public launch.

The public questions in this edition are newly written study checks. Do not treat them as CASA-approved questions, a secure exam bank or a complete substitute for an approved training provider's assessment.
