New Regulations (Part 107)

Drones operated must weigh less than 55 lbs.

Commercial UAS operation must take place within visual line of sight (VLOS) of the operator.

ATC approval is required before flying in controlled airspace.

Operations must take place during daylight hours, or within the hours of civil twilight (immediately before sunrise and after sunset).

Flight is not permitted directly over non-participating people.

Drones weighing between 0.55 lbs. and 55 lbs. must be registered with the FAA.

New Regulations (Part 107)

Drone operators must be certified under the new UAS Operator certification, akin to a driver’s license written test.

The local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), or Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) will be able to endorse your application to take the knowledge test. Applicants who do not hold a current pilot certificate will also need to have their backgrounds vetted by the TSA.

Tests will be administered at FAA approved Airmen Knowledge Testing Centers. Existing certified pilots (under Part 61 of the Federal Aviation Regulations) may take an online training course available on FAASafety.gov to have a remote pilot certification with a small UAS rating added to their existing pilot privileges.

To maintain currency as a remote pilot-in-command of a small UAS under Part 107, you will be required to take a knowledge test every 24 calendar months.
