If you are not sure if Part 107 rules work for you and your intended operation check our user identification tool.

*The FAA will not waive this section to allow the carriage of property of another by aircraft for compensation or hire.

Drone operators should avoid flying near airports because it is difficult for manned aircraft to see and avoid a drone while flying. Remember that drone operator must avoid manned aircraft and are responsible for any safety hazard their drone creates in an airport environment.

 

Step 2: Become an FAA-Certified Drone Pilot by Passing the Knowledge Test

 

To be eligible to get your Remote Pilot Certificate, you must be:

 

  • At least 16 years old
  • Able to read, write, speak, and understand English
  • Be in a physical and mental condition to safely fly a UAS

 

Study for the Knowledge Test

Obtain an FAA Tracking Number (FTN)


Create an Integrated Airman Certification and Rating Application (IACRA) profile prior to registering for the knowledge test.

 

Schedule an Appointment


Take the Knowledge Test at an FAA-approved Knowledge Testing Center.

 

Complete FAA Form 8710-13


Once you've passed your test, for a remote pilot certificate (FAA Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application) log in to the FAA Integrated Airman Certificate and/or Rating Application system (IACRA)* to complete FAA form 8710-13.

Review the full process to get your Remote Pilot Certificate.

 

Step 3: Register your drone with the FAA

 

Registration costs $5 and is valid for 3 years. You'll need a credit or debit card and the make and model of your drone handy in order to register. Learn more about registering your drone.

 

  • Create an account and register your drone at dronezone.faa.gov. Select "Fly sUAS under Part 107."
  • Once you've registered, mark your drone (PDF) with your registration number in case it gets lost or stolen.
