FAA Part 107 preparation

Part 107 eligibility and the Remote Pilot Certificate

What you need to know

The Remote Pilot Certificate is the FAA qualification for flying under Part 107. First-time applicants must be at least 16 to obtain it, meet the English-language and safe-operation requirements, and pass the knowledge test.

You do not need previous aviation study to begin preparing. Existing Part 61 pilots who meet the FAA’s conditions have a different training route, so check which pathway applies to you before booking a test.
