A commercial drone license, also known as a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for anyone looking to operate drones commercially in the United States.
To obtain a commercial drone license, you need to pass the FAA's Part 107 exam. The exam covers regulations, airspace classification, weather, loading and performance, and drone operations. Once you pass the exam, you will receive your commercial drone license.
Holding a commercial drone license shows that you have the knowledge and skills to operate drones safely and legally for commercial purposes. It also allows you to offer your drone services to clients and operate within the FAA guidelines.
Once you have your commercial drone license, it is valid for two years. To renew it, you will need to retake the Part 107 exam or complete online training courses provided by the FAA to demonstrate your knowledge of updated regulations and safety procedures.
