I am a private pilot with an instrument rating. I started doing commercial
ground school once but realized I really didn't need commercial for the
incidental business flying I was doing so I dropped it. I know nothing
about drone operations or regs. I have been told that I can legally fly
drones due to my regular license. Not sure if that is even true.

Subject: [AFMUG] Drone licensing
I was looking through the FAA Requirements to get a drone license. If I
understand correctly, if you use the drone in any way as a commercial
flight, I.E. taking pictures of a tower, then you need the commercial
license.
The FAA Website talks about going to a testing facility to Pass the
'initial aeronautical knowledge test'. The FAA links out to
psiexams.com At psiexams.com they don't have a 'initial aeronautical
knowledge test' listed, but they do have a 'Unmanned Aircraft General -
Small (UAG)'. Is this the test that you actually need to pass? Many
people here are pilots, what are good resources to study/practice for
the tests? Has anyone recently gotten their drone license. How big of
a deal is it?
