An unmanned pilot license, also known as a drone pilot license, is a certification that allows individuals to operate drones legally for commercial purposes.
1. Age: Applicants must be at least 16 years old to apply for an unmanned pilot license.
2. Passing an Exam: To obtain the license, individuals must pass an aeronautical knowledge test administered by the FAA in the United States, or the relevant aviation authority in other countries.
3. Security Background Check: Applicants need to pass a TSA security screening.
1. Legal Compliance: Flying drones commercially without a license can lead to fines and legal consequences. Having a license ensures you are complying with the regulations.
2. Business Opportunities: With a license, you can offer drone services such as aerial photography, surveying, and inspections legally, opening up opportunities for income.
3. Professionalism: Clients are more likely to hire licensed drone pilots due to the training and expertise they possess.
Once you obtain your license, you will need to renew it periodically by completing a recurrent aeronautical knowledge test to ensure you are up to date with regulations and safety procedures.
