DJI Agras Type Endorsement (Medium RPA)
As Australia’s leading supplier of DJI Agras series drones, not only do we sell them, but we use them daily, so you can say that we know a thing when it comes to these drones. If you are looking to fly a DJI T25, T30 T40 or T50 Agras drone, then you will need to conduct a Type Endorsement as these beasts weigh over 25kg. Wide Bay Drones are also an authorised DJI repairer, so we can assist with all of your after sales concerns.
See the details below.

Why do I need this training?
CASA requires anyone flying a drone weighing more than 25kg to have an RePL, and then a “type endorsement” for any machine that weighs more than 25kg, added to their RePL. This training will give you that type endorsement.
I only want to fly over my own land. Do I still need it?
Yes! Even if you are going to operate over your own land, CASA require you to have a Remote Pilots Licence (RePL) with the Type Endorsement for the particular machine you wish to operate.
How much does it cost?
You must hold an RePL in order to sit this endorsement. If you already have an RePL, then you have 2 options.
Option 1) Flight Test Only – $890
Option 2) Full day plus flight test $1750
If you don’t have an RePL, we can arrange for you to sit our RePL course prior (addition costs incurred)
Are there any pre-requisites?
Yes. You must hold a Multirotor <25kg (unrestricted) licence in order to complete. If you only have <7kg, you will need an upgrade.
We can offer you this as part of the training.
How long does it take?
This will very much depend on how well you know your DJI Product. If you have already been flying DJI product (and the Agras), then the endorsement should only take a couple of hours.
We would recommend you already have experience (practice) flying a DJI drone. This is so you will already have good grasp of the ecosystem, and had practice on say, the DJI T50 or T40. If you would like specific training on any of the AGRAS products, this can be arranged (additional costs incurred).
What is involved?
You will be required to demonstrate your ability to fly a DJI Agras RPA with skill and agility. You will also need to have a good understanding of the software, and how to program automated flight.
You will also need a fundamental understanding of the regulations surrounding flying above 25kg machines (training material will be supplied to you) in order to pass the flight test.
Should you require intensive DJI Agras specific training, this can be provided (additional Costs incurred).
Will Wide Bay Drones handle all the paperwork?
Yes, of course. Wide Bay Drones will facilitate all of the paperwork for you and submit to CASA on your behalf. We will also pay the fees to CASA directly.
Once successful with the endorsement, your qualification will be processed with CASA on the same day.
