Once you obtain your RPL you still have to get an air service licence which is OK but then you need a ROC which is really going overboard, as safety is covered in your RPL. A wedding videographer must pay R100,000-00 for a ROC and it takes from 1 to 2 years to get. The SACAA has to inspect your drone for the ROC.  If the drone is bought new from DJI is this necessary? If a RPL pilot is qualified and uses his air radio to transmit his position surely this ensures air safety. It would be easy for the SACAA to appoint a clerk or two to control the phones where drone pilots could phone in with flight plans. We know that helicopter companies are losing a lot from drone operators.  Lets not be left behind in the world through over regulations.
