The Remote Pilot Certificate
Who needs Part 107
If you fly a drone for any business purpose in the United States, the FAA requires you to hold a remote pilot certificate. That includes real estate and roof photography, inspections, mapping, and video you earn money from online. The certificate comes from passing a written knowledge test, and this course prepares you for every part of it.
Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old, able to read, speak, and understand English, and physically and mentally able to fly a small drone safely.
The exam
A 60 question multiple choice test taken at an FAA authorized testing center. A score of 70 percent or better earns your certificate. No flying is required.
Staying current
Your knowledge stays valid through free online recurrent training from the FAA every 24 calendar months. We help you understand what changes and when.

FAQ
Questions? Good, pilots ask questions.
Anyone flying a drone for a business purpose in the United States needs a remote pilot certificate from the FAA. That includes paid photography and video, inspections, mapping, and content you earn money from online. Purely recreational flyers follow a different set of rules.
The knowledge test has 60 multiple choice questions and is taken in person at an FAA authorized testing center. You need a score of 70 percent or better to pass, and you have two hours to finish. There is no flying portion.
You must be at least 16 years old, be able to read, speak, and understand English, and be physically and mentally able to operate a small drone safely. You do not need any prior aviation experience.
No. The certificate is earned entirely through the written knowledge test. Many students study for and pass the exam before buying their first drone.
