Operational Leadership · Compliance Support · Pilot Oversight

Your drone team. Our operational expertise.

Running a drone program takes more than aircraft and qualified pilots. It takes clear procedures, capable leadership and consistent oversight.

DRONES180 provides outsourced Chief Remote Pilot services for businesses establishing, expanding or managing their own drone operations. Drawing on our experience in agriculture, forestry and enterprise drone services, we provide practical leadership to help your team operate safely, meet its obligations and work with confidence.

Our services can be tailored to include:

  • Appointed Chief Remote Pilot services
  • Operational compliance support and guidance
  • Operational manuals and procedure reviews
  • Pilot inductions, competency checks and ongoing oversight
  • Flight planning and operational risk assessments
  • Mentoring and transition support for your own internal Chief Remote Pilot

Whether you need ongoing leadership or support while building your internal capability, DRONES180 brings real field experience to your drone program.

We don't just sell drones. We operate them.

DRONES180 runs commercial drone operations under CASA ReOC 9681. Every setup, service recommendation and support call is informed by aircraft we fly ourselves in Australian conditions.
