By Kevin Morris, the FAA Drone Guy Itâs finally here! The FAAâs updates to the small UAS Rule (Part 107) became fully effective April 21. This update brings many notable changes that remote pilots have been looking forward to for quite some time. Because not everyone has the time to read through almost 300 pages of regulatory text (or the desire to do so), I thought I would cover the highlights here in plain language: Updates to the Initial Aeronautical Knowledge Test and Online Courses On April 6, the FAA updated its online courses to include topics like Remote ID, operating over people or moving vehicles, and operating at night. But, perhaps the most important update was the availability for remote pilots to simply take a free online training course to establish their currency! Thatâs right! No more driving to a testing center and paying for the test every couple of years. For more information on which course you should take, see our News and Update.
