The first remote pilot certificates were issued by the FAA nearly two years ago. Like a flight instructor certificate, those certificates are now coming due for some training in order to keep them current and allow pilots to continue exercising the privileges of Part 107.
Part 107 Pilots Require Recurrent Training
Remote pilot certificates are now coming due for some training in order to keep them current.
Key Takeaways:
- FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificates issued nearly two years ago are now due for renewal training.
- Renewal procedures differ based on a pilot's existing certifications: those holding a Part 61 manned aircraft pilot certificate with a current flight review can renew online or via a knowledge test.
- Pilots without a Part 61 certificate must take the initial or recurrent Part 107 knowledge test at a designated testing center.
- The FAA advises applicants to review study materials, including the UAS ACS, Knowledge Test Study Guide, and Part 107 sample questions, to prepare for renewal.
