What Does it Take to Become a Commercial UAV Operator? Part II

If you want to fly a UAV or aerial vehicle, then it is important to obtain your own drone license. The Federal Aviation Administration (or FAA) grants licenses for the operation of unlicensed remote pilots to fly small UAVs for hobbyists and commercial purposes. You must first learn to fly a remote control or UAV before you can apply for a license. It takes a few months to complete an approved training course and be qualified as an approved training center for a remote pilot’s license. There are many training academies and universities that offer flying lessons and other training programs in the United States and abroad. These institutions and schools can help you to get your flying license and learn how to fly remote control aircraft.

When you have completed all of your approved courses and are ready to apply for your license, you will need to obtain your FAA Part 61 certificate from the FAA. This type of certificate allows you to fly a UAV if you are practicing for a authorized test, such as a UAV simulator test or a certification examination. To qualify for a Part 61 certificate, you must successfully pass one of two examinations: the written airman license exam or the remote pilot license exam. Once you are licensed, you will be required to complete a part time training program to acquire your final certificate.

The Part sixty-one examination is administered through the FAA’s Air Force Academy. Students can choose to take a course in Basic Model flown UAVs or elect to take a flight simulator course. Upon completion of your approved course, students will receive their FAA Part 61 certificate. If you choose to pursue commercial drone certification through the academy, you must maintain a minimum of 75% in your flying school’s achieved marks. If you do not pass the exam on the first try, then you must redo the course or take the exam again until you pass.

After you successfully completed your training and passed the exam, you will receive your certificate. If you wish to become an authorized operator of a UAV, you will need to obtain an FSDo in order to maintain your certificate. To apply for an FSDo, you must: meet the requirements set forth by the FAA, pay a fee of $icators, complete an approved knowledge test report and pass a skill testing course. After receiving your certificate, you will be able to apply for your Federal Aviation Administration license.

Obtaining an FSDo is easier than ever. To become an authorized operator of a UAV, all that is required is a passing score on the FAA’s written exam and a successful completion of a training course. Training courses are available online and through most colleges in the United States. Online training courses generally provide the most in-depth training necessary for gaining certification. After you have successfully completed a training course, you will be able to sit for your first unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight.

The United States Federal Aviation Administration and other governmental agencies require prospective drone operators to meet the statutory minimum qualifications. The most common requirement is to have a general working knowledge of the operation of UAVs. Applicants will also be required to successfully complete a supervised solo flight before being granted clearance to operate a UAV. After you successfully complete a part of the certification course, you will be able to apply for a certificate of clearance to fly a UAV. To be considered for certification, you must pass a final examination administered by the FAA which includes a written test, a flight test, and a hands-on flight using a UAV. Once you pass this final examination, you will be able to apply for authorization to fly a UAV as a commercial entity.
