By Tony Capaccio (Bloomberg) — The newest and costliest U.S. aircraft carrier, praised by President Donald Trump and delivered to the Navy on May 31 with fanfare, has been dogged by trouble with fundamentals: launching jets from its deck and catching them when they land. Now, it turns out that the system used to capture …

Mark:
Do you know of any pilots that have actually received their drone license?  If so I would appreciate their contact info so that I might ask a couple of questions.
Thanks for all the awesome wok you do.

Retied DFW  L-1011

Editor: Yup,  I did.   Ask away!

Mark:
I was wondering if the questions on the test were confined to FAR 107 or if they included questions from other FAR’s such as part 92 & 61? They allow a maximum of 2 hours for the exam.  Was that adequate and did it also include the time taken for the test? Was there a time limit on the test?

Thanks for Everything, I truly miss the ORD base and the comradeship we had.

RE-Print of Drone Rating Information: 
Bob, to answer your questions, I got my qualifications done in 2 hrs and I am bit slow. No time limit as for rated pilots it is not an actual test, but rather a quiz on the online course.  After done, all you need is a certified Instructor with the drone rating to help you complete your IACRA and you will be a rated Drone pilot for under 55#’s. The practice test included below are similar to the one you complete at the end of the online course.  But please read my below instructions carefully since you have to do it all in one sitting.  If anyone needs a rated instructor to help them with the IACRA AFTER they have completed the course and printed the certificate then I will be available. 
Here is the info again:
GET FAA CERTIFIED AS A DRONE PILOT!!!! The easy way!
Hi PCN,

A little checklist from Mark so you can add a FAA Drone rating to your license without hardly breaking a sweat. 

 If you are a certified pilot within the currency of a bienniel flight review or flight check, you can easily become a rated Remote PIC for drones.   The FAA has developed an abbreviated course and process for Part 61 Certificate holders to become a Part 107 UAS licensed "Remote Pilot".  If you want to spend at most a couple of hours you can add this to your resume which certifies you as the PIC for very cool flight of under 55 # drones for private OR commercial use.

What you need: 

  • Should have had a Bi-enniel Flight Review or some flight check within 24 MOS.
  • Assure you have both a:      FAA IACRA    and a FAASafety.gov    login

Now ,   

1.Review the sample tests. Linked here: 


2. Then when you have a couple of hours to complete online course IN ONE SITTING.  (the course doesn't archive progress)
FAAsafety.gov   login   After logging in to FAAsafety.com  visit: 
Under “Featured Courses” – click Part 107 Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS)  then ENROLL
URL link below:

Complete the 2 hour course (Note: IN ONE SITTING cause it doesn't record progress)  Once done it will activate the EXAM link button.  Click and Complete the 35 question EXAM then SUBMIT.  Note: because you are already a certified pilot, this 35 question exam has been simplified and all of the chart questions and normal pilot questions are ignored.

After Submitting the Exam Click CONITNUE and after survey and you will then have links for  your Graduation Certificate which you can PRINT.   Also, Click and  SAVE a PDF file of your certificate for your later IACRA application. 

3. Now login into IACRA and start a new application for "Remote Pilot"   (NOTE: Review carefully when done and assure you have attached the 107 graduation certificate before you electronically sign and submit)  once submitted note your FTN number in your console and write it down somewhere.  Also keep your login info handy for next step and logout of IACRA. 

4. Now call your "recommending CFI*" so he/she can log into their IACRA and using your FTN access your application to review and then sign and submit.  *A recommending CFI is just a CFI who has the drone rating.  In a pinch I can serve that role for you. 

5. Now you can log back into your IACRA and on your console there should be a button on your application "TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE"  Click and PRINT.


Yesterday you couldn't spell DRONE pilot and today you is one!
