Why Part 102 is important?

Part 102 is based on the risk of the operations. Applicants must submit an ‘exposition’ showing that they have identified hazards and risks of their operation, and ways they will mitigate those risks. Each application will be considered on its merit – this allows for the wide scope of operations made possilbe by RPAS. – CAA Website (http://www.caa.govt.nz/rpas/#Part_102)

Part 102 captures all unmanned aircraft that do not operate under Part 101. This includes any autonomous aircraft. The most common type of unmanned aircraft are remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). Again, for the purpose of the Civil Aviation Rules (CARs), a remotely piloted aircraft is: ‘an unmanned aircraft piloted from a remote station and includes a remotely controlled model aircraft’

A remotely piloted aircraft system is a remotely piloted aircraft, its associated remote pilot station or stations, the required command and control links and any other components required to operate the system
