Are you considering taking to the skies with your drone for commercial purposes? If so, obtaining your FAA Part 107 certificate—sometimes known as your drone pilot license—is an essential step. This certification not only legitimizes your operations but also ensures that you are equipped with the necessary knowledge of safety and regulations to navigate the airspace effectively. In this article post, we'll guide you through what you need to know to get your drone pilot license, drawing key insights from our FAA Part 107 information session that we ran on Drone Safety Day: "Get your drone pilot license | FAA Part 107 Information Session | Drone Safety Day."  https://youtu.be/CrS1562mzCs?si=oDRfKydRlUDK8Pu2 Understanding FAA Part 107 The FAA Part 107 certificate is crucial to operate your drone commercially. This isn't limited to direct business transactions; any flight not strictly for recreation falls under commercial use. Whether capturing aerial footage for a YouTube channel or conducting inspections for a construction site, you'll need this certification to comply with legal standards. Eligibility Requirements to get your drone pilot license To get your drone pilot license, you must meet specific criteria set by the FAA: Age: You must be at least 16 years old. Language: You should be able to read, speak, write, and understand English. Physical and Mental Fitness: You must be physically and mentally capable of safely operating a drone. The Knowledge Exam The Part 107 exam is a multiple-choice test covering many topics necessary for safe and legal drone operation. This includes understanding airspace classification, weather effects on drone performance, loading and performance, and emergency procedures. Remember, the exam focuses on theoretical knowledge rather than practical flying skills. Preparing for the Exam Proper preparation is key to passing the Part 107 exam. Here are some steps you can take to ensure you're ready: Study Resources: Use the Airman Certification Standards as a study guide. This document outlines all the topics you'll be tested on. Resources like the FAA's study materials and practice exams from King Schools can be extremely beneficial. Understanding Learning Preferences: Identify how you best absorb information, whether through videos, reading material, or interactive courses. Tailoring your study methods to your learning style can enhance your understanding and retention of the material. Registering and Taking the FAA part 107 Exam To get your drone pilot license, you must register for the exam through the FAA's Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA). After registering, you can schedule your test at an FAA-approved knowledge testing center. Make sure to bring a government-issued photo ID to the test. After the Exam Upon passing the exam, you must complete additional steps to get your drone pilot license officially. This includes submitting an application through IACRA and passing a background check. Once approved, you'll receive your remote pilot certificate in the mail. Maintaining Your Certification Your drone pilot license is valid for 24 months. To renew it, you must complete a recurrent online training course and pass a quiz with a 100% score, available through faasafety.gov. Staying current with this certification complies with regulations and ensures you remain knowledgeable about the latest drone operation safety and standards. Conclusion Getting your drone pilot license is an investment in your future as a commercial drone operator. It demonstrates your commitment to safety and adherence to regulations, making you a trustworthy choice for clients and collaborators. If you're ready to take the next step in your drone career, begin preparing for your Part 107 exam today and ensure you are well-equipped to take to the skies safely and legally.

In less than ten minutes you will be introduced to the author, Pete Reddan, and the first lesson topic, icing. This is a first in a long line of episodes based on the Airman Certification Standards.

It’s the day that every pilot awaits; the transition from student pilot to certificated private pilot.  For most, the FAA Practical Test or “checkride” is viewed as a terrifying but necessary right of passage.  A Designated Pilot Examiners (DPE) must test each student thoroughly on their aviation knowledge, control and mastery of the aircraft, and risk awareness and judgment.  Even if the student has been perfectly prepared by their instructor, the checkride is still the unknown and a point of concern.  Let’s change that.  With a guided look in the FAA’s Airman Certification Standards document, any student pilot can better understand what standards they will be held to and how to ace their checkride. San Carlos Flight Center invites local DPE Scott Rohlfing to help student pilots understand what can be expected during a private pilot checkride and learn what they can do to be prepared and confident on their big day.  In this seminar, Rohlfing will relay what student pilots need to know before the checkride, and share tips from his previous experiences from other checkrides to make sure the same issues don’t arise on your checkride.  We have also asked him to review the different maneuvers and procedures that a DPE can request from a student pilot during the checkride so they can be ready to tackle anything. If you are a student pilot that wants to be prepared, confident, and know what to expect on your checkride; you don’t want to miss this unique seminar.

FAA Knowledge Tests, or commonly known as “written tests,” are a way of life for pilots with each certificate sought. Preparing for the knowledge test was a huge part of our training as private pilots. In reality, ground school and studying for the knowledge test and the oral portion of the practical test comprises more than half of your flight training as a private pilot.   With the new Airman Certification Standards, the days of passing the test based on rote memorization are over.  New, scenario-based questions are being added to the database of test questions in attempt to draw from the student pilot’s knowledge and implementation of that knowledge in real-life scenarios.  And believe us, you’ll be glad you didn’t rely on memorization when it comes time for the oral exam at your check ride.   Resources https://www.flymauihi.com/ https://www.aviatortraining.com/ https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/learn-to-fly/faa-private-pilot-test-prep.html https://www.gleimaviation.com/ https://www.asa2fly.com/ http://www.flyjonesboro.com/   Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

In this episode of Flying With a Purpose, Derek and David discuss ratings and add-ons, the old FAA PTS versus the newer ACS, and how the new ACS helps pilots manage risk and execute better aeronautical decision making.

FAR Part 107 describes the process of obtaining an Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) certificate. Airman Certification Standards describes the process, which involves taking a written examination by computer at an authorized testing location, and there is no practical test (checkride) involved. The FAA has provided a study guide, an online course, and a sample test. For certificated pilots, the process simply involves completing the online course with an end-of-course exam. Once you pass the test (or complete the online course for certificated pilots) you can immediately print your UAS license, and the permanent license will be mailed to you a short time later. Getting a UAS license may be an excellent opportunity for new and aspiring pilots to gain an introduction to aviation.

Pre-Flight:  Carl, Eric, Larry, Tom and Russ are here for this episode to warm your heart for aviation in this cold weather. Eric is currently in Washington, D.C. working on the new Airman Certification Standards with an FAA working group, and he’s not used to it being this cold!
