❓ What licenses do I need for commercial drone operations?

Commercial drone operators must obtain a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA. This requires:

• Being at least 16 years old
• Passing an initial aeronautical knowledge test
• Passing a TSA security background check
• Renewing certification every 24 months

The knowledge test covers topics like regulations, weather, airspace classification, emergency procedures, and drone operations. Once certified, you must maintain a current remote pilot certificate and register all drones used for commercial purposes individually.
