Throw-back-Thursdays to a common question we still get asked about today 👇
Can the Chief Remote Pilot (CRP) role be from outside the organisation (i.e. outsourced)? Firstly - The CRP is a key individual responsible for the safety of an organisation's drone operations. While the regulations specify the responsibilities and qualifications of a CRP, they do not explicitly state that the CRP must be an employee of the ReOC holder. Therefore, it is possible to have an outsourced CRP, provided they meet CASA's requirements and can fulfil their responsibilities effectively. Some factors that would go into determining if the individual can meet their obligations would be: ➡️ The number of organisations they hold the role of Chief Remote Pilot with, and, ➡️ The volume of Remote Pilots under their control. For example if they were overseeing 10 ReOC's with 200+ pilots in total it would be unlikely they would be able to fulfil their duties for all organisations simultaneously.
