If you are looking to operate a drone commercially in California, you will need to get a Remote Pilot Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This certification is also known as the Part 107 license.
To obtain your Part 107 license in California, you must be at least 16 years old, be able to read, write, speak, and understand English, and be in a physical and mental condition to safely operate a drone.
One of the key steps to get your drone pilot license in California is passing the FAA Part 107 Knowledge Test. The test covers various topics such as airspace classification, emergency procedures, and aviation weather.
After passing the Knowledge Test, you will need to complete a practical exam with an FAA-approved testing center. This exam will assess your ability to operate a drone safely and responsibly.
Once you have passed both the Knowledge Test and the practical exam, you can apply for your Remote Pilot Certificate through the FAA's Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) system. After approval, you will be able to legally operate a drone for commercial purposes in California.
