Key Takeaways:

  • Remote pilot certificates (Part 107) are nearing their two-year expiration date, requiring recurrent training to maintain privileges.
  • Pilots with a current Part 61 manned pilot certificate can renew their Part 107 certificate by taking an online recurrent course or a knowledge test at a test center.
  • Pilots who do not hold a Part 61 certificate must take the recurrent Part 107 knowledge test at an FAA knowledge test center.
  • The FAA recommends reviewing specific study materials, such as the UAS ACS and Knowledge Test Study Guide, for renewal.

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.
