From: Mark Radabaugh Sent: Friday, September 4, 2020 2:47 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Drone licensing 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).

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 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. -----Original Message----- From: Nate Burke Sent: Friday, September 4, 2020 10:25 AM To: Animal Farm 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 <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.
