Drone & Part 107 Certification

The FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certificate authorizes commercial small UAS (under 55 lb) operations under 14 CFR Part 107. Unlike manned pilot certificates, Part 107 requires zero flight hours - just a $175 FAA Knowledge Test at an approved PSI testing center, minimum age 16, and TSA vetting. This section covers the full process: what's on the 60-question test (airspace, weather, regulations, decision-making), how to use LAANC for instant Class B/C/D/E surface area authorizations, when you need a Part 107 waiver (night ops before 2021 rules, BVLOS, over-people), and how to land commercial drone work in mapping, inspection, real estate, public safety, or film.
