How these numbers are counted

Pilots: active Remote Pilot certificates in the FAA Airmen Certification Releasable Database (October 2026 file) by the holder's mailing address, so a floor: pilots who withheld their address are not in it. 9% of Maine's also hold a manned pilot certificate. Jobs: postings on the employers' own job boards, read every day, counted when they require the certificate. Every state compared.

How many licensed drone pilots are there in Maine?

At least 963: the FAA's public airmen file (October 2026) lists that many Part 107 remote pilots with a Maine mailing address, 43rd of 51 states. Pilots who keep their address private are not in the file, so the true number is higher (the file shows about 37% of all US remote pilots).

How do I get a Part 107 license in Maine?

Pass the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft General knowledge test at an approved testing center (60 questions, 70% to pass, about $175), then apply for the certificate in the FAA's IACRA system. Anyone 16 or older can take it; it is the same everywhere in the US.
