Part 107 certification is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for anyone looking to operate a drone commercially in the United States. This certification is also known as the Remote Pilot Certificate.
To obtain your Part 107 certification, you need to pass a written exam that covers regulations, airspace, weather, and drone operations. The exam consists of 60 multiple-choice questions, and you must score 70% or higher to pass.
Having your Part 107 certification opens up opportunities to make money with your drone. Many industries such as photography, real estate, agriculture, and filmmaking require certified drone pilots for various projects.
Part 107 certification is valid for two years. To renew it, you can either retake the exam or complete an online training course provided by the FAA. Staying up to date with regulations and best practices is essential for continued certification.
