CASA specifically is asking for feedback from operators that fly drones beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) for their work.

The survey aims to build a snapshot of the use of BVLOS technologies and the benefits they can provide. Participation will help CASA to design regulations that keep pace with this fast-moving technology and how it can be used in Australia.

CASA would like to hear about the types of BVLOS operations and circumstances intended for BVLOS flights.

The survey will collect information to:
• review the uptake of BVLOS drone activities in Australia
• identify key benefits and challenges of increased BVLOS drone operations
• identify areas where regulatory improvements may be applied for lower-risk, low altitude BVLOS drone operations.

The survey is open to everybody and CASA especially wants to hear from operators who use drones to assist in agricultural work such as:
• spray management
• mustering
• farm and land management
• any activity to deliver agricultural outcomes.
