The US Federal Aviation Administration has implemented its new rules requiring all recreational drone users to pass a free online drone test – and, yes, that does include people using a drone for non-professional video work. When the FAA was reauthorized in 2018, it was charged with bringing the nascent drone industry, and in particular, the civilian and recreational drone industry, to heel. One of the biggest issues was that, even when drone pilots have the intention of following the law, they often don’t know the laws and regulations well enough to follow them. Now, the FAA will require drone pilots to pass a free online test to prove they’re able to operate their drone safely and within the rules. If asked by aviation or law enforcement officials, pilots must be able to provide proof of having taken and passed the test – most likely, having your smartphone and a data connection ought to be enough to bring it up. Since the issuer of the certificate does not record the test taker’s name or information, they cannot re-issue the pass if it is lost, and the pilot must take the test again.
