Frequently Asked Questions
To fly your drone commercially you must pass an FAA written exam and become a certificated Remote Pilot. Commercial UAS pilots fly under a subset of the FAA regulations called Part 107. Any unmanned flights that involve payment or are in furtherance of a business or organization fall under the Part 107 rules. Note that even if you fly for free and donate your services, if the ultimate use is commercial, you fall into the commercial drone pilot category and must have a commercial pilot license (which is formally a “certificate”) to fly unmanned aircraft.
"Remote Pilot" is the FAA name for a commercial drone pilot. Anyone who flies a drone in furtherance of a business or an organization must be certificated by the FAA as a Remote Pilot. You may hear the term "Part 107"; this refers to the federal regulations that pertain to Remote Pilots. To become a Remote Pilot you must pass an FAA written test.
Tip: You might hear people refer to commercial drone pilots, remote pilots, sUAS pilots, UAV pilots, or Part 107 pilots, but they all mean the same thing.
14 CFR Part 107 are the Federal regulations that control commercial operations of small unmanned aircraft.
The FAA written test for the Remote Pilot certificate contains sixty multiple choice questions. It is conducted on computer at an FAA authorized testing center.
