Is there anyone on here that can answer some questions about the FAA license? And the reason for having one.

Not quite sure I understand what you are saying here. Clarify please.The main reason to have one is, it is required unless you only fly indoors. Required for a hobbyist, or commercial work in .us. Hobbyist registration is easy. Commercial more difficult. Effective this week, your registration number must be clearly visible on the outside of the aircraft.

License required if you fly outside?????
Or are we talking about registration?
Thanks just trying to see if it's worth the investment for someone like me that is just flying for funIf its anything like the UK then you cannot undertake any kind of commercial work without a valid license or a CAA issued PfCO as its called over here. You will have to wait for some some of your fellow US pilots to answer any other points.
The op asked about a “license”.
Your response was that it was required.
I get confused in my old age and thought you had found a new rule that I hadn’t seen.
If you only fly inside a building, FAA does not care. But they do care about flying outside anywhere. All drones must be registered (over 500 grams anyway) if they are flown outside. If you fly for any commercial purpose (even if the specific flight is unpaid, but has some commercial purpose), additional licensing and fees must be paid. All the Part 107 stuff.
Your only question was "the reason for having one." Answer is it is required by FAA.
Yes.Is there anyone on here that can answer some questions about the FAA license? And the reason for having one.
Yes.Let me add to the confusion.
Suppose One gets a 107 certification, can he still fly as a hobbyist? If he is never gonna use the privilege of commercial certification?

Some like me, like to learn and get certificated, but never use it to make any financial gain from it.
I just passed my exam yesterday.
USA/FAA: No registration is required at all for indoor flying.The main reason to have one is, it is required unless you only fly indoors. Required for a hobbyist, or commercial work in .us. Hobbyist registration is easy. Commercial more difficult. Effective this week, your registration number must be clearly visible on the outside of the aircraft.
