Field setup
Training runs on a controlled field approximately 80 × 80 metres or larger, adjusted for the aircraft, environment and operational risk assessment.
Clear of trees, wires, poles, structures and other obstacles
Minimum 10 × 10 metres, marked with four illuminated cones
Approximately 10–15 metres from the landing zone
Beside the student, with immediate access to the controls
Adjacent to the pilot with an unobstructed view of the operating area
Box pattern approximately 30 × 30 metres
A clearly identified secondary landing location
Uninvolved people kept at least 30 metres away, or farther where required by the risk assessment
Low-output, downward-facing lighting is used around the pilot station and landing zone. Lights must not shine toward the remote pilot, observer or aircraft.
Equipment
Crew
Night flying is a crew exercise — every seat has a defined job before the aircraft leaves the ground.
Pre-flight
Before starting the practical flight, the crew confirms:
Obstacle sensing and vision-positioning systems may perform differently in darkness. The pilot must not rely on these systems as the primary means of obstacle avoidance.
Sign-off
In the final assessment, the instructor records whether the student demonstrated:
In Australia, night operations generally require an appropriate ReOC framework and a suitably licensed remote pilot. The operator must train and test its remote pilots, retain training records, conduct an operational risk assessment and maintain documented night-operating procedures.
This training session supports operator competency and record-keeping requirements. Completion of the session does not independently authorise a person to conduct night operations.
Need the ReOC side sorted? ReOC Setup & ConsultationQuestions
No. In Australia, night operations generally require an appropriate ReOC framework and a suitably licensed remote pilot. This session supports the operator's competency and record-keeping requirements — completion does not independently authorise night operations. ACE Aviation can help you understand and work toward the full requirements.
It's a 60-minute assessed session: a 30-minute practical night flight followed by a 30-minute debrief and assessment. The session assumes the site assessment, airspace review, risk assessment, aircraft inspection and crew briefing have been completed before training begins.
DJI Enterprise platforms — a suitable DJI Enterprise drone with a compatible DJI Enterprise controller, approved batteries and, where required, an appropriate enterprise payload.
The flight may be ended early if visibility, battery level, weather, aircraft performance or pilot workload becomes unacceptable — safe judgement is part of the assessment.
