FAA
Recreational flyers
Exception for Limited The Recreational Operations of Unmanned Aircraft (USC 44809) is the law that describes how, when, and where you can fly drones for recreational purposes. Following these rules helps keep people, your drone and our airspace safe. Below are 10 things you should be aware of. Basically if you are flying your drone for anything other than recreation you must have a Part 107 certificate. If a friend asks you to shoot a video of their house it requires a commercial license. (part 107) Even posting videos on Facebook can be considered commercial. Knows the rules and get your Part 107 certificate. Fines can be hefty. Passing the test can be difficult but you can do it. Some do it by watching youtube videos. Some by studying the FAA guideline and some do it by taking a class. I went the class route.
1. Follow the FAA’s rules and regulations for recreational drone pilots.
2. Register your drone with the FAA.
3. Fly your drone in accordance with the FAA’s rules and regulations.
4. Fly your drone in areas that are not near airports or other restricted airspace.
5. Fly your drone at or below 400 feet.
6. Keep your drone within your line of sight at all times.
7. Avoid flying your drone over people or property.
8. Respect the privacy of others when flying your drone.

10. Do not fly your drone while under the influence of drugs or
Part107 test
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107 is a set of regulations that govern the operation of small unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the United States. The regulations were created to ensure the safety of the public and the environment while allowing for the commercial use of UAS.
Part 107 applies to all UAS operations that are conducted within the United States and its territories. It does not apply to operations conducted outside of the United States. The regulations are designed to ensure that UAS operations are conducted safely and responsibly.
Part 107 requires that all UAS operators obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate from the FAA. This certificate is required for all commercial operations and is valid for two years. The certificate requires the operator to pass a written exam and demonstrate knowledge of the regulations.
Part 107 also requires that all UAS operations be conducted in accordance with the regulations. This includes maintaining a safe distance from people and other aircraft, avoiding restricted airspace, and notifying the FAA of any changes in the operation.
Part 107 also requires that all UAS operations be conducted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. This includes ensuring that the UAS is in good working order and that all safety features are functioning properly.
Part 107 also requires that all UAS operations be conducted in accordance with the FAA’s rules and regulations. This includes following all applicable airspace restrictions and notifying the FAA of any changes in the operation.
Part 107 also requires that all UAS operations be conducted in accordance with the FAA’s safety guidelines. This includes following all applicable safety protocols and notifying the FAA of any changes in the operation.
Part 107 is an important set of regulations that ensure the safety of the public and the environment while allowing for the commercial use of UAS. It is important for all UAS operators to understand and comply with the regulations in order to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
Study for Part 107 test

This test covers a wide range of topics related to drone operations, including airspace regulations, weather, and safety. To help you prepare for the test, here’s a guide to what you should study.
First, you should familiarize yourself with the FAA’s regulations for drone operations. This includes understanding the different types of airspace, the rules for flying in each type of airspace, and the requirements for obtaining authorization to fly in certain areas. You should also be familiar with the FAA’s rules for operating drones near airports and other restricted areas.
Second, you should understand the basics of meteorology. This includes being able to read and interpret weather reports, understanding the effects of wind on drone operations, and being able to identify hazardous weather conditions.
Third, you should understand the basics of aviation safety. This includes being able to identify potential hazards, understanding the principles of risk management, and being able to recognize and respond to emergency situations.
Finally, you should understand the basics of drone operations. This includes being able to identify and use the various components of a drone, understanding the principles of navigation and flight control, and being able to safely operate a drone in various environments.
By studying these topics, you’ll be well-prepared to pass the FAA’s Part 107 test and become a certified drone pilot. Good luck! I was able to pass the first time with a score of 88%.

Don’t Get Caught Unprepared for Challenges in New or Different Aircraft
Transition Training Just like switching between automatic and manual in a car, transitioning from one aircraft to a different one comes with a unique set of challenges — even when you’re certificated to operate that specific category or class. The lack of transition training has been cited as a causal factor in many GA accidents. Accidents frequently result from pilots being unprepared for challenges presented by the new, or different, aircraft they are flying. Even when pilots are legally certificated to operate aircraft within a specific category and class, significant differences can exist among different types of aircraft within that category and class — thus necessitating the need for effective transition training. | |
