The RPL Instructor Rating Course is designed to equip qualified remote pilots with the knowledge, instructional skills, and practical competence required to train students toward obtaining a Remote Pilot License (RPL). The course focuses on developing the ability to deliver effective ground and flight instruction, combining strong theoretical foundations with real-world application in RPAS operations.

Throughout the programme, trainee instructors are guided on how to plan, structure, and deliver lessons, conduct professional briefings, demonstrate flight manoeuvres with clear instructional “patter,” and assess student performance. The training integrates key areas such as air law, meteorology, navigation, principles of flight, human factors, and risk management, alongside hands-on practical exercises covering all essential multi-rotor flight operations.

By the end of the course, candidates will demonstrate a high standard of airmanship, instructional competence, and adherence to aviation regulations and safety procedures. Successful participants who achieve the required pass mark will receive a Certificate of Competency, enabling them to apply for an RPL Instructor Rating and contribute to the safe and professional development of future drone pilots.

This module introduces the foundational concepts of SMS, including safety policy, safety objectives, and organizational responsibilities, emphasizing management commitment and leadership in fostering a positive safety culture. Learners will explore how safety policies are developed, communicated, and implemented to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and continuous improvement in safety performance.

The course further examines the four core components of the SMS framework—safety policy and objectives, safety risk management (SRM), safety assurance, and safety promotion—enabling students to understand how these elements interact to maintain safe RPAS operations.
A strong focus is placed on hazard identification and risk management, where learners are trained to identify operational hazards, assess risk probability and severity, and implement appropriate mitigation strategies. Both reactive and proactive hazard identification methodologies are covered, including the use of safety reporting systems, data analysis, and safety investigations.

In addition, the module addresses system description and operational context, enabling students to understand the complex interactions between personnel, equipment, processes, and external organizations that influence safety outcomes in drone operations.

By the end of the module, students will be equipped with the skills and knowledge required to support the implementation and maintenance of an effective SMS within remotely piloted aircraft operations, ensuring safe, compliant, and efficient aviation activities.
