Unmanned Pilot Licenses, commonly known as drone pilot licenses, are required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate drones for commercial purposes in the United States. It is important to differentiate between flying drones recreationally and flying them for commercial use.
To obtain an Unmanned Pilot License, you must be at least 16 years old, be proficient in English, pass the FAA Part 107 knowledge test, and undergo a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) background check. The Part 107 test covers regulations, airspace, weather, and other essential topics.
Holding an Unmanned Pilot License allows you to legally operate drones for a variety of commercial purposes such as aerial photography, videography, agriculture, real estate, and more. It gives you credibility and opens up opportunities to work with businesses that require drone services.
Once you obtain your Unmanned Pilot License, it is valid for two years. To renew it, you must pass a recurrent Part 107 knowledge test. To maintain your license, you need to stay informed about any FAA regulation changes and ensure you operate drones safely and responsibly.
