Today, we talk about the Part 107 recency exam. Will FAA make the recency test shorter and easier? Will the testing process be more streamlined?
Every two years drone pilots have to retake the Part 107. In this episode we discuss the likelihood of a practical test. Will there be new questions included in the test? We also talk about certification for larger drones. Do you need specific training to fly these larger drones? Tune in and also discover how Drone U can help you prepare for your recency exam. Thanks to Todd for the question. Fly Safe!
