❓ What licenses or certifications do I need to fly a drone?

The requirements vary based on how you plan to use your drone. For recreational pilots in the US, you must pass The Recreational UAS Safety Test (TRUST) and register your drone with the FAA if it weighs more than 0.55 lbs. Commercial pilots need to:

• Obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate (Part 107)
• Pass an initial aeronautical knowledge test
• Register all drones used for commercial operations
• Renew certification every 24 months

Additionally, pilots must follow local regulations and maintain current knowledge of airspace restrictions and safety guidelines.
