• A CASA issued pass in the Instrument Rating Exam (IREX) or a CASA recognised instrument rating.
Whilst not essential, it would also be beneficial to have:
• A powered lift endorsement issued via a CASA RePL

Worth noting a few things:

1. Zero ‘flying’ involved. You’re a tick in the box for CASA so that Wing can say there’s a pilot at the helm with a pass in the IREX. The only things you can do as PIC are activate the drones, deactivate them, and tell them to either RTB or land in place in the event of an emergency. Everything else happens without you.

2. You won’t be a Wing or Google employee. You’ll be engaged through a third-party labour hire outfit and cannot put Wing or Google on your CV.

3. You’ll be on the books as PIC for dozens of drones in the air at any one point in time that you have very little control over for a little above minimum wage.

If that all blows your hair back, rock on .

What’s more interesting is that someone that’s supposedly full time CaSA employee, is the point of contact for hiring for this position at wing?

Conflict of interest maybe.
Nothing surprises me these days with caa. Nothing.
