RPAS Auditor accreditation

This applies to the status as an RPAS-only BARS auditor and the accreditation does not permit BARS auditing of other than RPAS operators. 

To attain accreditation as a BARS RPAS auditor requires holding an RPAS pilot license (RPL), completion of the BARS auditor accreditation training (including satisfying the lead auditor prerequisites), completion of our online RPAS training regarding the BARS RPAS standards (several hours required, and no cost involved), and finally, becoming associated with one of the BARS audit companies to achieve BARS auditing exposure as an observer (non-RPAS audit) and final approval as a BARS RPAS auditor.
