The Bronze package adds the Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate (AROC) to your RePL, so you can legally use aviation radio and operate closer to controlled airspace and aerodromes.
It's the sensible step up for pilots who want more of the map open to them — many of the best-paying jobs sit near airports, helipads and controlled zones where radio competency is essential.
The qualifications and credentials you earn with the Bronze package.
Your CASA-approved commercial drone pilot qualification for sub-7kg multirotor operations.
Use aviation radio and operate near controlled airspace and aerodromes — the credential serious employers look for.
Theory is delivered online, with exams and practical flight training completed face-to-face.
A self-paced portal covering every CASA-required knowledge area, studied around work, family and life.
Pause, replay and revise every lesson as often as you need for deeper retention.
Regular virtual classroom sessions where ACE instructors answer questions and prepare you for exams.
AI-guided revision and concept clarification to help you learn faster and prepare effectively.
Direct instructor help with air law, meteorology, navigation, systems and exam readiness.
Hands-on flight training and formal competency assessment delivered in person by ACE instructors.
A CASA-required multiple-choice exam based directly on your training — with thorough preparation.
Ongoing access to refresh your knowledge and keep pace with regulatory updates after you finish.
Structured, CASA-aligned theory across every core aviation knowledge area:
AROC unlocks operations near controlled airspace where higher-value jobs concentrate.
Get both the RePL and AROC together for less than buying them separately.
UAMP compliance software helps you keep every flight documented and audit-ready.
By completing the Bronzepackage, you'll have:
The Aeronautical Radio Operator Certificate lets you legally transmit on aviation radio — required for coordinated operations near controlled airspace and aerodromes.
If you expect to work near controlled airspace, yes — bundling the AROC now is cheaper than adding it later and opens more job opportunities.
