An FAA Commercial Drone License, also known as a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, is required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for operating drones commercially in the United States.
To obtain an FAA Commercial Drone License, you need to pass the FAA Part 107 exam. The exam covers topics such as airspace regulations, weather patterns, and flight operations. Once you pass the exam, you will receive your license.
Holding an FAA Commercial Drone License allows you to legally operate drones for commercial purposes, opening up opportunities in various industries such as photography, videography, agriculture, and more. It also demonstrates your knowledge of safe drone operation, which can be attractive to potential clients.
Your FAA Commercial Drone License is valid for two years. To renew it, you need to pass a recurrent knowledge test before the expiration date of your license. This ensures that you are up to date with any regulatory changes in drone operation.
