How to get the FAA Part 107 certificate
Part 107 is the FAA's certificate for flying drones commercially in the US. It is a knowledge test, not a flying test, open to anyone 16 or older.
- Create a profile in the FAA's IACRA system to get your FAA Tracking Number.
- Book the Unmanned Aircraft General (UAG) knowledge test at an FAA-approved testing center run by PSI. It costs about $175.
- Pass it: 60 multiple-choice questions in two hours, with 70% needed to pass.
- Apply for the certificate in IACRA with your test result. After a TSA security check you can print a temporary certificate while the card is mailed.
The FAA sets out these steps and its free study materials on its Become a Drone Pilot page.
