Who actually needs an AROC?

​

CASR 64.035 requires a person wishing to transmit on the radio frequencies used in aviation to hold an Aeronautical Radio          Operators Certificate (AROC) unless you are authorised under another regulation such as Part 61 (for pilots).

People who typically need an AROC include ground handlers, B1 and B2 licensed aircraft maintenance engineers who operate radios when taxiing or towing  aircraft or testing aircraft radios, RPAS operators, some aerodrome personnel and some people involved in emergency service operations.

​

How do I get an AROC?

 

To be granted an AROC you must:

​

• be at least 17 years old

• have received the appropriate AROC training

• have been assessed as meeting the AROC competency standards

• have a current English Language Proficiency Assessment - Level 4, 5 or 6

​

AROC Training for Non Pilots
