Nice, no EKG. I wonder if having a DOT medical card would be roughly
equivalent to the CMEC. In otherwords do I still have to see an
airmans medical examiner or can my DOT doctor do it?

A couple of things have changed since you last had a medical.
You can now do ‘BasicMed’ to satisfy the FCC requirement:
What do I need to do to fly under BasicMed?
1. Comply with the general BasicMed requirements (possess a U.S.
driver's license, have held a medical after July 14, 2006).
2. Get a physical exam with a state-licensed physician, using the
Comprehensive Medical Examination Checklist
3. Complete a BasicMed medical education course;
4. Go fly!
As a CFI I can complete a BFR with you while acting as PIC for the
flight, meaning you do not have to have a current medical to complete.
Once you (as a certified pilot) complete the online course you can
take that certification to any CFI to certify your application to get
your ‘remote pilot’ license.
Your private certificate does not cover you to fly a drone (remote
pilot in FAA terms).

Found the process:
For people who already hold a pilot certificate issued under 14 CFR
part 61, You simply need to complete the FAA’s online course, which
will take you about two hours to complete. Note that you must have
completed a flight review within the previous 24 months.
Crap, have not had a medical in years...

That is absolutely not true. You need a UAS license to be able to
fly even though the testing is very similar to a private pilot
license but it does have other things attached to it.

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.

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 <http://psiexams.com> At psiexams.com
<http://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?
