Plan ahead and apply before your current permit expires, because renewal is not automatic. Renewals are submitted through Civil Aviation Services Portal?CASP.
When you apply, let us know if anything has changed, such as the drone, operator details, location or purpose, and provide updated information where requested. Please keep your drone grounded after the expiry date until your new permit has been issued.
- Minor changes (for example contact details) are approved automatically in CASP.
- Major changes (area, dates, pilot, purpose or drone) are reviewed by TCAA and may carry a fee.
- Extensions: apply before your permit ends, with insurance that covers the new period.
