| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the operation the lawyer describes, record the drone weight band on the CASA page: 250 g or less (micro), more than 250 g but no more than 2 kg (very small), or more than 2 kg but no more than 25 kg flown only over the operator's own land (small). Record whether the flight is for business or as part of a job. The page's examples are selling photos or videos, inspecting industrial equipment, construction sites or infrastructure, monitoring, surveillance or security, research and development, and any drone activities for an employer. Mark the page's exceptions: the person holds a remote pilot licence, holds a remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate, or is flying for fun, including a model-aircraft association member at a CASA-approved model airfield. Record that accreditation is free, online, and valid for 3 years, that the person must be 16 or older, and that an accredited adult over 18 must supervise a person under 16. The page also says accreditation is required to fly and supervise others. List the myCASA inputs the page names: a Digital Identity login, an individual aviation reference number or a new one, an organisation aviation reference number if operating for a business, and personal details of name, address, date of birth, sex, phone numbers and nationality. Record that the quiz pass mark on the page is 85 per cent or higher. For renewal, record the email notification, renewal under Drone accreditation in myCASA, renewal up to 30 days before the due date, and that an accreditation expires automatically. The page says the person must also register the drone before flying, and must follow the drone safety rules and the standard operating conditions for micro and excluded category RPA. Those conditions were not opened, so they are not restated. The tool does not complete the quiz or send the application. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the operation the lawyer describes, record the drone weight band on the CASA page: 250 g or less (micro), more than 250 g but no more than 2 kg (very small), or more than 2 kg but no more than 25 kg flown only over the operator's own land (small). Record whether the flight is for business or as part of a job. The page's examples are selling photos or videos, inspecting industrial equipment, construction sites or infrastructure, monitoring, surveillance or security, research and development, and any drone activities for an employer. Mark the page's exceptions: the person holds a remote pilot licence, holds a remotely piloted aircraft operator's certificate, or is flying for fun, including a model-aircraft association member at a CASA-approved model airfield. Record that accreditation is free, online, and valid for 3 years, that the person must be 16 or older, and that an accredited adult over 18 must supervise a person under 16. The page also says accreditation is required to fly and supervise others. List the myCASA inputs the page names: a Digital Identity login, an individual aviation reference number or a new one, an organisation aviation reference number if operating for a business, and personal details of name, address, date of birth, sex, phone numbers and nationality. Record that the quiz pass mark on the page is 85 per cent or higher.

Those conditions were not opened, so they are not restated. The tool does not complete the quiz or send the application.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether accreditation is required for this operation, and the operator completes the quiz and the myCASA application.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Match the weight and the land limitation to one band on the page, and record whether the flight is for business or a job.
2. Flag a remote pilot licence, an operator's certificate, or flying for fun, including at a CASA-approved model airfield.
3. Do not restate the standard operating conditions. They are in a guide that was not opened. Do not complete the quiz.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
