Key Takeaways:

  • Part 107 remote pilot certificates are nearing their two-year renewal date, requiring recurrent training or testing to maintain currency.
  • Renewal options vary: Part 61 manned pilots with a current flight review can complete an online recurrent course or take a knowledge test, while others must take a knowledge test at a certified facility.
  • The FAA provides various study materials, including the UAS ACS and a knowledge test study guide, to help applicants prepare for their recurrent test.

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.
