It took some support from the Bio Security division of Australia’s Department of Agriculture and Water Resources to help CASA understand what Nathan was doing. It was a two-year process to secure all the necessary paperwork but then Nathan was certainly something of a pioneer, and even today Aerobugs remains one of CASA’s only UAV operations regulated to perform such tasks.
CASA's interest in Nathan's innovation was such that they sent not one, not two, but seven personnel to observe him on the day of his commercial UAV flight licence test. It turned out however they just wanted as many CASA field staff to learn as much as they could in order to keep ahead of the rapid UAV and RPA growth curve. Nathan passed with flying colours.
After hundreds of hours of testing and 12 months of practical application on a tomato farm with resounding success, Nathan began to grow his commercial preferential insects’ application business.
